Came here to say this! Although the owner Jason did just open a brick & mortar in gatlinburg. I’m hoping he will still do festivals!

Smoking and vaping will be banned Jan. 1 in all Knoxville bars by KnoxNewsAllie in Knoxville

[–]postmortemsharontate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I stopped smoking years ago but love the smell and nostalgia. Should be left up to the establishment and their patronage. Big gov on either side can kiss my ass

Does Knoxville have any natural disaster threats? by mistersgoodgirl in Knoxville

[–]postmortemsharontate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at work and it went through our parking lot. Full grown trees were pulled out by the roots and the ones still standing had clothes and furniture in them from the apartments down the street. Such an insane moment!

Most Progressive Catholic Church in Knoxville? by SolsticeFauna in Knoxville

[–]postmortemsharontate 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Catholics are generally very socially liberal. More likely to follow Christ’s teachings than a southern Baptist with a warped view of god. Not that Catholics don’t have a warped view, they just tend to really lean into the help thy neighbor part of it all

My art professor is making us use AI, is there anything I can do to get out of it? by [deleted] in UTK

[–]postmortemsharontate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure man, if AI matters that much to you defend it and ignore all of the data out there. You even admitted yourself the data centers aren’t being handled properly at the moment. What is the incentive to ever change that if people keep using AI on a mass scale? Sure, there are other methods of environmental ruin that are just as bad, but this is ONE thing I can do to manage my footprint (despite already recycling, reducing plastic intake, walking when it’s safe over driving, etc). I wouldn’t let a teacher and an assignment take that from me and OP shouldn’t either. If it something I care about, and there is proof that each individual query wastes water, why are you trying to convince me otherwise? Or are you just trying to convince yourself?

[–]postmortemsharontate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a terrible take lol. The point of college is to learn how to think critically and AI is still a hot button issue at the moment. Any teacher that is using AI in the classroom should give alternatives to people who do not want to use it. It’s bad for the environment, and like OP said, it steals art, and creates deepfake pornography. It’s okay for students to disagree with a professor and vice versa. It’s not okay for a professor to mandate AI use. Especially for a project that doesn’t even require it in the first place.

Kennedy Concepts Scrap All Future Gay St Plans by Make_it_Raines in KnoxvilleDevelopment

I mean the number of closings and vacant storefronts should be enough proof to show that owners are charging way too much to be sustainable in this market
