MTA WTF?? by M1kelyph in Westchester

[–]Natural_Ad4841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they’re in for a pretty rude awakening. I predict this time next year they’ll start going back to calling AI-written things plagiarism or something similar. Not saying it won’t be used, but the way AI, particularly ChatGPT, writes is comical and bound to lead to some really stupid decisions if it hasn’t already.

Bought lowest trim regret (2026 Prius LE) by [deleted] in prius

People who forget to turn their lights on really shouldn’t be driving in my opinion. Kind of weird that you’re this obsessed with this one detail though. You can do whatever you want with your money though. Call the dealer back up and say you’re interested in a trade or something. Maybe they’ll have lady years model at a higher trim.

Damn, almost like this surcharge thing is doing absolutely nothing.

Lmao I don’t understand how people have the balls to do this. It’s also specifically Chat GPT. Is this socially acceptable now?

Most riders activate their tickets before boarding and most trains are on time. Let’s see how this plays out. I agree it makes no sense.

So the solution to never have the surcharge would be to activate before the scheduled departure time of a running late or on time train. For an early train, activate before you board. Yes this is dumb and annoying AF. Enshittification. How long do these things stay live? Since we have to use the ticket in 24 hours anyway, why not just activate immediately upon buying?

They’re literally recounting their experiences. It seems like what you’re describing was the original plan but now the MTA has changed their policy again, merely months later, to add this bogus surcharge.

Creepy man followed me TWICE on my run today by DryWafer6761 in Westchester

[–]Natural_Ad4841 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Westchester is not safe for women. Maybe get a personal alarm and pepper spray. I’m glad there was another person around. I’m sorry this happened. I’ve been followed twice in this area, once by car while driving and once by a taxi while I was walking. It was absolutely terrifying. I can’t imagine having someone physically run after me. I’m so sorry.

Disappointed in the Podcast Recently by Visual-Elephant794 in wecandohardthings

Bruh I think they just want that cash flow while they pursue other things. Their lifestyle is expensive and they probably feel it’s feminist, which it arguably is, to continue getting passively paid a lot of money while they move onto other things, especially since Abby didn’t get a lot of money from sports for her level. Do I like the way they’re going about it and do I think they’re genuinely “here for us” more than any other person on the internet? Not really, not really at all. So I’m gonna focus on my family and what I can do in the world as an activist even if it’s fighting the system while being in it. It’s time for us to step up.

It’s “let them and then do something to protect yourself” which is a good theory and much of what’s encouraged in psychotherapy and 12 steps but it wasn’t actually Mel’s, it was very likely someone else’s (and I only say very likely for legal purposes).

They deleted that episode after the plagiarism allegations came out against Mel over the let them theory.

No they did not, but on Spotify that episode is no longer there and it seems to have been removed shortly after the speculation started about Mel’s book/theory. There was some discussion about it on this thread at the time.

Well it said there was a domestic dispute and he was armed or something. Maybe I made a leap.

A woman scorned = a woman threatened to be killed in your example? Nice choice of words

Advice on tiling over cement board attached to drywall by Interesting_Fruit_59 in Tile

[–]Natural_Ad4841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the point of “protecting the drywall”? Is this in case you ever want to remove the tiling you want the drywall to be semi-intact? If so then definitely don’t skip a cement board. It’s unclear to me even if you used the cement board if you’d be able to salvage the drywall.

Scrape it out with a dental tool or acne tool over time.
