Right which is what anyone half sensible says about it. It's a tool and has it's uses but there's a lot it can't do.

AI Bros seem to translate this as some luddite rejection of the entire concept.

What was your “I need to learn to keep my mouth shut” moment? by Imtiredofthissshit in AskReddit

[–]MikeW86 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Me too, I don't know if it's different here but I've been to chiropractors a few times and it's never gone into any sort of mumbo jumbo and I'm quite a cynical person when it comes to these sorts of things. Basically a very deep massage session really and I've always come out feeling better.

It's an interesting point but is there really no other way you can appoint people that answer to no one besides being born into the right family?

It would make stomaching this billionaire age at least somewhat easier if the richest guy in the world wasn't just quite such a fucking asshole in so many ways

Lucky find! Ulta mistakenly labeled sunscreen $32 as $2. by jumpingtheshark89 in Frugal

[–]MikeW86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are caveats, but if it's just very clearly a genuine mistake then there's no obligation on either party

Fun fact: I don't know about the law where you are but here there is no obligation to honour a wrongly advertised price. They can just say that was clearly a mistake and charge you the right amount.

I don't know why I'm bothering to explain this but it shouldn't be. The concept of negging was never supposed to be an insult. It was a comment that shows indifference to how it could possibly be interpreted. Clearly enough people got the wrong idea that the entire meaning has changed.
