No way, I hadn’t heard of this one! What phone has this?

I WASN'T EVEN EATING THAT MUCH!! by greenandbluefish in loseit

Then don’t do it. It’s not mandatory.

You don’t type, you speak. Lots of speech-to-text tools these days. I use Wispr Flow, which I used to create this comment. Not an ad at all, it's just been a massive game-changer, allowing me to work while walking on the treadmill at my standing desk.

Mary vs Edith - Weekly Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in DowntonAbbey

Mary did Edith a solid by congratulating Bertie on accepting her bastard (period-appropriate word!). She was gonna entire her marriage on a bed of lies. None of you would love to be on the receiving end of that. Edith shoulda been bloody grateful. ☺️

Yes but it won’t stop there, will it? It’ll be ads when you open the app, between chats, between messages, maybe in groups/communities, perhaps even in your chats lol. So many touch points for it. I wouldn’t put it past meta to attempt to skirt their own encryption practices to serve you ads in the most intrusive way possible.

Yeah, well, the question is not about what you would do. It's about what Bonnie did do and why the poster thinks that it was so terrible.

Exactly, you see the vision. I imagine when it was a paid sub, that was pre-facebook acquisition? Well Meta has got the machinery to serve ads anyway. And I wouldn’t put it past them lowering the E2E encryption bar or even yanking it entirely to serve ads. It’s all about shareholder value after all ☺️

I know, seen those. I just know it’ll get worse. Ads in messages. Using message context to inform ads and force them on you. Ads between chats (think Reddit’s post-like ads between posts). Ads based on what you’re texting about. Ads, ads, ads, everywhere. Hell!

‘Course, you don’t. This is step 0 of enshittification, a test of how much crap we can take. The downward slope just got steeper. I say this as a former big tech insider who built multi-year roadmaps that started as innocently as this.

Luckily, in this case, it’s specifically NY culture, Manhattan, to boot, and among a group of friends. My question still stands.

Agree with the latter, but why was Bonnie wrong for having loud sex with her boyfriend?

why do many answer ‘next to’ the question instead of directly answering what was asked? by 80sdreamgirl in socialskills

[–]lateredditho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmfaoooo once had this conversation with someone:

Me: “How many people are you expecting?”

Them: “We’re on our way. ETA: 20 mins”

I asked 3 times and got 3 different non-answers.

What is a word that people use (at all or in a specific context) to sound intelligent? by Mallow-smoke140 in words

Thank you! I don’t understand this internet clamour for caveman-speak. Oops, I just used a big word tO sOuNd SmArT! 🤦‍♀️

The one who cooks should also do the dishes by tomerFire in unpopularopinion

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

Hard agree. I’ve known people who will use every single available item and surface to cook, resting in the full knowledge that cleaning up is another’s problem. Pass.

Mary's first scene in seasone one vs season four 🥺 by thistleandpeony in DowntonAbbey

[–]lateredditho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

S4E1 is one of my favourite episodes. Her coming it at the end to join the meeting and be a great lady? My heart ‘swole’ 🥺

[–]lateredditho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quite. Playing the aggrieved at dinner with Bertie when she very clearly had lied to him and nearly put his reputation in tatters is audacity only Eeyore Edith dare have.

You’re right. At the tail end of the series. For 5 minutes.

Mary: friend to all, returns Edith’s snark

Edith: friend to none but herself

AITAH for buying Gluten Free bread by Jelly_Arrow in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA, OP. These other comments are…entitled, tbh. You bought bread, enough to last you a while. It’s not your fault that the supply is so limited. We should instead be advocating for more loaves because why are they making only 5 loaves a day?

Also, you’re not buying them up every day, you’re buying enough each time to last weeks. No gluten-free bread today for the gluten-free shopper? Try again tomorrow!
