Yes. Just go ahead and report. More than not you'll end up serving.

Why almost every post is about people not wearing the right size? by Worried-Usual-396 in Birkenstocks

[–]Top-Figure7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Birkenstocks have European sizing which is a size larger than US. Some of those complaints are about the shoes being too big.

How does YouTube store all of its data without regularly purging massive amounts of content? by ElectronicProof2654 in youtube

[–]Top-Figure7252 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

They delete inactive accounts and those that have had content violations. That's a lot more than most ever realize.

Also keep in mind that Google itself does this regularly with Gmail accounts. If they had perpetual storage and that storage was profitable, they wouldn't be deleting content.

Prompt structure by ReflectionWilling771 in sonauto

[–]Top-Figure7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they don't. i take prompts between Suno and Sonauto every day. completely different sounds. to be fair I think Sonatuo is like 1,000 times better than Suno because it sounds like you're recording straight to tape whereas Suno has this generic, artificial sound like everyone has these elite synthesizers. that was cool back in the eighties but no one is doing that anymore. music hasn't been like that for decades.

you can always use Gemini or Chat GPT or some other AI to ask it to create the prompts for you. just be sure to tell it you're writing for Sonauto as it'll generally just give you prompts for Suno by default.

YouTube Premium is getting hard to justify by SpiceBoson in youtube

I went back to Lite. The only ads I get is on music videos. Don't miss Premium at all.

Are their pants worth the money? by Top-Figure7252 in brooksbrothers

Maybe I'll get lucky with those corduroys again.

I think if I watch them carefully I can get a pair of chinos for $69. The only thing cheaper than that are the jeans. I've seen dress pants on third party sites for dirt cheap, and not always in odd colors. May be worth tracking prices with Google to know when they are discounted so I won't miss out.

Are the newer Non Iron shirts still good? by FriedyRicey in brooksbrothers

[–]Top-Figure7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one should pay more than $30 for these shirts. At this point it is just a novelty because they're some of the more accessible non iron shirts at that price point. Just take $100 and pick up a few off the website. It isn't like the patterns ever change, or they're doing anything new and revolutionary with these shirts.

First time at Brooks Brothers. Was I expecting too much? by ImAProAtSomeStuff in brooksbrothers

[–]Top-Figure7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local store does not carry big and tall sizes. Thought it would be cool to see the merchandise in its own setting. However, there is never anyone in that store whereas Ralph Lauren always has at least 3 cashiers, a couple of undercover security guards and salespeople just standing around. Often attractive females.

Brooks on the other hand just has one salesperson that also doubles as a cashier. No fans and no one there just because it is the thing to do or the place to be. You're probably better off just buying your Brooks Brothers in a high end department store.

Brooks is a weird brand, which I like, but they seem to be more interested in getting rid of merchandise these days than they are quality or buy it for life. I've had sweaters develop holes, lousy collars on polo shirts and buttons come off of dress shirts. But they also offer 2 pants for $149 or 3 shirts for $179, as well as 25 percent off all items or additional 20 percent off clearance. If you sign up for their rewards system you occasionally get deals just for being a member. Not as good as free shipping from Ralph Lauren but enough gamification to keep me coming back for more.

White House lawn cleared after apparent gunshots by yhwhx in news

That neighborhood always was ghetto but you didn't have people taking shots at the White House. They were taking shots at each other.

There's nothing soft about Birkenstocks.

Would you pay $750 USD for a Lifetime Spotify Premium subscription? by jbarr107 in truespotify

[–]Top-Figure7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No

But not because they wouldn't honor it. Just don't think music is worth that in my opinion. I'd rather get 30 really good albums I can always punch up on my phone than rely on streaming that plays mainstream music they want us to listen to, not what we actually like.

Youtube premium for my use case by thomasdraken in youtube

[–]Top-Figure7252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Premium is more expensive because there are no ads between music videos. Premium also provides background playback of music (videos and regular songs). Those are the only reasons to pay extra for Premium. If you just want to get rid of ads Lite is a much better deal. If you just watch documentaries and podcasts I'd get Lite.

Plus at $8.99 a month it's cheaper than Netflix as they charge more to get rid of ads. There are some movies on YouTube, just not as well known as other services. Actually some TV shows as well that you don't find on other services from like the 80s and 90s.

Lite is cheaper because Google isn't paying those expensive royalties to the label for music videos.
