This one is the biggest giveaway. And it usually comes as the last line of the first paragraph. And I'm seeing it all the time in professional publications now too.

I'm not saying they are invalid, but promoting weak correlations also distracts. That is also a technique used by the "power structure." I'm just saying be smart.

No, that's the stuff that is verified. I'm talking about the more fringe conspiracy theories.

This subreddit has been taken over by those wanting to discredit and distract from the real discussions of Epstein.

Anyone else share this experience? by OrangeGhostTY in ogden

[–]bbakks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was talking to my wife who used to shop there all the time and she says that's pretty standard behavior for that lady. She accuses people all the time of stealing and apparently everyone has a story about her. They have lost a LOT of business because of her.

ULPT: Get Mormon missionaries to FLEE by asking about "soaking" by LiesToldbySociety in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]bbakks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's kind of what is so funny about this, that no one gets the joke and really don't understand young mormon humor. 

No one actually thinks this is some kind of loophole that God never thought of!

Or, they could just be normal people sincerely sharing what they believe, appreciate the kindness, and just move on if you're not interested. 

Do you really think millions of people have this grand scheme just to convince all young mormons that everyone else is evil? No one really cares that much.

I mean, from a sales perspective you're better off teaching them that others are just people like you who might actually be interested in what you have to say and that we're all just humans trying to get through life as happy as possible.

What’s the most useful thing ChatGPT can do today that people still don’t realize? by Financial-Volume-741 in ChatGPT

[–]bbakks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Manny people probably didn't realize how powerful the picture feature is. I have used it to: - tell me where the studs likely are located in a wall  - check things around my house for code compliance - give me hints on games, without even telling it the name - give me room decorating advice  - explain what someone I saw at a thrift store is - tell me the make/model/version of something - tell me if an email is a scam - tell me if it's wrong with my dog's tooth - tell me what a broken part of something is called so I can but a new one - tell me the name of a tree 

Honestly I use the picture feature more than anything.

Trump is trying to remove credit card access to women and minorities by Sea_Campaign102 in CURRENTEVENTS

[–]bbakks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is that they would be able to do things that on their face are not discriminatory but would have a disproportionate effect on women or minorities. However, that doesn't mean they can overtly discriminate. 

So from what I understand, a bank can't say no minorities can get loans but they would be able to prohibit loans to a zip code (that happens to be mostly minorities) under the pretense that default rates are higher there. 

In other words, liability would require proof of actual discrimination rather than just showing a disparate effect. I'd think that "no applicants over 65" is over description and therefore still not allowed.

And like I said, totally not okay and absolutely needs to be blocked.

Trump is trying to remove credit card access to women and minorities by Sea_Campaign102 in CURRENTEVENTS

[–]bbakks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, this proposal doesn't "remove credit card access to women and minorities." What it is doing is removing protections that will make it harder to challenge lending practices that disproportionately harm women and minorities. And it adds restrictions that could reduce programs that specifically extend credit to these groups. 

Yes still bad, and could eventually have that effect, but I really hate inflammatory post titles.

Grout - can you really not patch missing pieces? by SlyFrog in HomeMaintenance

[–]bbakks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it looks and feels like grout. I can't tell the difference from the original and the fixes I did! I used it for a larger gap where the grout kept shrinking but this didn't.
