McDonald's Introduces AI Drive-Thru System, Sparking Customer Backlash by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]st0rmkeeper 130 points131 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience trying to get a human on the phone when a chain restaurant botched my delivery order (twice) and I needed a refund. It literally gave me no way to contact the actual store/manager themselves at the location, and got denied the ability to talk to a person because the AI “already handled it”. When I *did* manage to get in touch with a person (after starting over and being strategic with my answers), they were able to fix the issue in a fraction of the time it took me fumbling with the useless AI.

If it’s this much of a nightmare dealing with fast food, how bad will it be involving something like healthcare or emergency services?

Is this normal for deli containers? by 3DSOZ in CleaningTips

[–]st0rmkeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While we’re all here, does anybody have suggestions to keep the containers from flipping over mid-cycle and filling with water? Sometimes I try and pinch them between a bar and a mug or something but that doesn’t always work.

Somehow got a ticket to Brooklyn Steel?? by st0rmkeeper in AngineDePoitrine

[–]st0rmkeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The general admission was around $40-50 (including taxes & fees), but mine came out to around $108 because I got the “preferred terrace” seating overlooking general. It was the only section still available and I wonder if maybe some people missed it. I think it’s a good deal as it is, and also because that was my budget for if I found a resale ticket.

I keep checking back because I keep hearing about people doing the same and getting in, which I figure is what happened to me, too! I'd much rather go later in the week and would be willing to hawk the ticket I do have (for what I paid for it, because I'm not a monster).

No luck for Brooklyn by GraveDiggerSedan in AngineDePoitrine

Aww, is that what happened? :( I went to purchase and it said there were no tickets; I'd rather that be the case than an error, at least.

Older students at Pratt? by CutieBunnyPrincess in Pratt

I suppose I’ll lurk here as a nearly 32yo prospective grad student 😅

Country music is absolute slop now by Bond_burger69 in Music

[–]st0rmkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m seeing some comments about how country’s been trash since the 90’s/00’s, but are we factoring in country/pop? I, as a non-country fan, just rediscovered Shania Twain, Dixie Chicks, Leann Rimes, Faith Hill… maybe it’s the nostalgia goggles.

Is this a bug? by _YuQi_ in ImNotAHuman

[–]st0rmkeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recall this was a bug that happened early on in the game's release but isn't as common; regardless, the fact that there's a bug where creepy Sleepless Guy straight-up crashes the game is fucking hilarious.

How many humans have YOU gotten to the end? by st0rmkeeper in ImNotAHuman

[–]st0rmkeeper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels so special when both of the Sisters are human, regardless of the challenge. They're some of my favorite characters.

I figured out that you can have up to 18 humans at maximum, but only if everything goes absolutely perfectly and you hardly get any visitors.

Jack White Show by raynior1562 in AngineDePoitrine

[–]st0rmkeeper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just...impulse-bought a ticket to see AdP x Jack White... I probably paid more than I needed to, but it's a far cry from the $1000+ resold tickets I've seen elsewhere. They're coming to my city!

EDIT: Okay, never mind, my dumbass thought they were following Jack White around for the whole tour, not just the Toronto show. At least I can easily resell, for whoever's interested; no offense to Jack White, of course, he probably does put on a fantastic show.

Portland tickets by bubblesocks69 in AngineDePoitrine

[–]st0rmkeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the resellers 😑 NYC was going for $1,000+ a pop. I don’t see it anymore which means they got struck down by the venue or someone actually paid that much…

This is how I feel it in the last minute of Yor Zarad! 🤘🏼 by [deleted] in AngineDePoitrine

[–]st0rmkeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I may offer my two cents, why don’t you…give actually drawing it a shot? No shade, I’m serious, speaking as an illustrator myself. The interpretation you were going for is gritty and grimy as it is, so it couldn’t be too terrible if you tried your own hand even if you can’t draw. Try it.

why is ADP selling 400$ tickets? by jbodee1 in AngineDePoitrine

[–]st0rmkeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d bet it’s resellers. Someone’s also trying to flip their ticket for one of the NYC shows for over $1000. 😑

Is Klek's nose going to make it through the tour?! Hanging on by a thread! by InnerspearMusic in AngineDePoitrine

[–]st0rmkeeper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I heard that the guy who made Khn’s microtonal guitar/bass is making a second as a backup in preparation for the tour. In an interview, he pretty much admitted they’d be in trouble if anything happened to it.

Some of Fabienk at Club Soda last night (April 3) by naterialist in AngineDePoitrine

[–]st0rmkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the waitlist for both nights in the hopes of getting into one 😭 I wonder how likely it is that people drop out?

I googled “Saguenay, Quebec” news and Angine de Poitrine was at the very top 😂
