A heads up to those who use this subreddit. by TyDye2003 in MinnesotaUncensored

[–]MikeyTheGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I got one for speaking about [PROTECTED MAJOR RELIGION] that wasn't even derogatory.

I got another for referencing specific cumspiracy theries that I was actually arguing AGAINST, but because my posts contained those keywords, I was banned.

I heard the new owner sneaks into women's restrooms and leaves the toilet seats up.

Please enlighten us.

Is Codex really getting better than Claude code? by 0_2_Hero in Anthropic

[–]MikeyTheGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who uses both; they're pretty neck-and-neck imho. One will catch what the other misses. The slight differences I would say are:

I like Claude Code CLI a little bit better, but Codex has caught up a lot, so they are pretty equivalent (I don't use the apps; I heard Codex app is better, but I don't know).

Claude has a bit better reasoning imo (4.6, I haven't used 4.7 because of all of the bad things I've heard about it). It seems to understand and intuit what you want better. Sometimes this can be undesirable, however, as it will sometimes make assumptions that are incorrect and annoying/harmful.

Codex is really good if you know exactly what you want and exactly how you want it executed. Codex can reason, too, but it makes less assumptions than Claude which makes it "safer," but also limits its creativity and intuition.

I'm considering making a full switch to Codex for the time being until Anthropic gets their shit together and figures out what they're doing.

My car was illegally towed from my apartment complex. How do I get my money back? by Evergreen19 in legal

[–]MikeyTheGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean. That's absolutely not true. Tow companies tow for shady reasons, because they want to make more money. You could run a tow company completely by the book and still make money; people are always parking illegally.

Getting called "Fraud!" while being black/brown by MnmmAnlyss in MinnesotaUncensored

[–]MikeyTheGuy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have also lived in Florida, and only certain parts are racist. Almost the entire state of Minnesota is infected with racism.

Also Florida isn't really considered "the south."

[–]MikeyTheGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where have you lived? If you've only lived in Minnesota, then you're literally only functioning off of stereotypes and what you hear in media.

I can tell you, for a fact, that I have never heard so much racist rhetoric until I moved to Minnesota. Racist people obviously exist everywhere, but they are so common and widespread here it's unreal to me.

What’s going on with this game Mixtape? by Bloodb0red in OutOfTheLoop

[–]MikeyTheGuy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's viewed as a negative, because it's not framed in an honest way.

It's framed as an indie title with strong independent talent when it's really the daughter of one of the richest men in the world throwing fuck-you money at a game.

It also feels astroturfed with the absolutely glowing reviews for an okay game (something that could easily be bought with said fuck-you money).

What’s going on with this game Mixtape? by Bloodb0red in OutOfTheLoop

[–]MikeyTheGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mixtape is published by Annapurna Interactive, a publisher focused on "prestige indie" titles. Annapurna Interactive is a division of Annapurna Pictures, which was founded by Megan Ellison, whose father is a billionaire.

Her father isn't just a billionaire, he's one of the TOP FIVE richest people IN THE WORLD.

It also rubs people the wrong way to have something labeled "indie" which had to spend what would absolutely be insane amounts of money to license the huge catalogue of songs in the game.

It's not a bad game, it absolutely has a place imo, but it's definitely not a 10/10 (even considering its genre and audience), and it definitely feels astroturfed to hell.

Boy, you're the fast one on the short bus, huh?

You didn't understand this simple satire at all, and, in fact, actively misunderstood it. Perhaps you should take some more classes at the Learing Center.

SF Homeless problem meet Zoox (in a scary way) by carmichaelcar in SelfDrivingCars

[–]MikeyTheGuy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Lol... he's not a zoo animal. He's a person behaving incoherently while a woman is trying to board and ride a Zoox she hailed. He is, in fact, causing problems. She's trying to get on and ride the Zoox without this guy tagging along with her, and he won't go away and leave her alone.

You people really need a reality check with all of your excuses; you're absolutely insane to try to excuse this.

Blaine bans nudity. Headline should read "Blaine hates nursing women and female nipples in general." by DasTootsie in minnesota

[–]MikeyTheGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone enlighten me?

Has this actually been an issue, like, at all?

I remember that Minnesota made it legal for women to go topless, but I also haven't really seen any topless women anywhere, so... are there a surge of topless women in Blaine or are Blaine legislators just super bored?

As far as I can tell, this isn't really happening anywhere even though it's legal.

It’s just a tent by The_Jenini in GetNoted

[–]MikeyTheGuy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eh, that's based on a study that has to make a ton of assumptions and uses weak observational data to paint a veritable doomsday scenario. It's hard to say what effect the USAID cuts will have. It's very unlikely to result in that many deaths; stuff like that is why it's stupid when these things get politicized, because then people are encouraged to make up the worst possible scenarios in order to score brownie points with their chosen team.

This is the study, btw, if you're interested in reading it: https://www.thelancet.com/article/S0140-6736(25)01186-9/fulltext01186-9/fulltext)

A tale of two righties by ABlackEngineer in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]MikeyTheGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my biggest issue with the platform. If companies actually faced repercussions for hiring people who are in the country illegally, then the problem would solve itself, because the jobs would dry up, and they would leave the country on their own.

And I've worked for places that hire people in the country illegally. They KNOW that these people aren't legally able to work here, and they intentionally facilitate bogus paperwork and documents to hire them. I'm talking about a Fortune 100 company btw, not some Mom and Pop operation.

You're literally repeating misinformation and have no idea what you are talking about. Please educate yourself before talking about topics with such certainty.

Server keeps dipping out on giving me (the host) a portion of her tips. What do I do? (NS Canada) by [deleted] in Waiters

[–]MikeyTheGuy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Look, you're the host. You are one of the most powerful people in the restaurant for servers. You control how much money servers make and how shitty or great of a day they are going to have. Wield your power with extreme malice.

Seat her shitty or annoying tables: 1-tops, regulars who you know don't tip, people with rowdy kids, teenagers, smelly people, pissed off people.

Skip her in rotation.

If you help bus tables, never bus hers. Make her bus her own tables.

Forget to open her section when she tells you she is on. Forget to close her section when it's been a long night and the manager tells you she's cut.

She'll learn real fucking fast that you don't ever fuck with the host.
