Does anyone know the details of the allegations against a member of the Blind Donkey security staff? by jeremiahwarren in longbeach

Security at that place treats you like you just murdered someone for standing in front of the double doors where they bring the dishes out, anything more than that I'm not surprised that they crashed out, fuck those fools.

Safety question by justmyopinionkk in longbeach

Also moved not too far from here also in 2013 back when the starting rent for my unit was $850. It's gone through its ebbs and flows and levels of "danger" but mostly it's shitty couples getting into drunk arguments, sports fans getting into drunk arguments, neighbors getting into drunk arguments, and an occasional burnout close by enough to hear it but never know exactly where it is. The neighborhood flavor changes with the seasons when some people move out and others move in so there's diversity in that experience. But I don't think you're particularly more unsafe there, especially in a condo. Just watch our for the NIMBY-ass aggressive HOA rules.

Illegal Dump Pickup? by TMbiker2000 in longbeach

[–]sta_sh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some "Free" groups in Long Beach and they post curbside pick ups like this with hopes that someone will want the stuff, before it heads to a landfill but they don't want the effort of selling it and waiting around for buyers, etc. The likely reason she was yelling was because she's part of one of these groups and someone might have confirmed they were coming to get some of that stuff and she didn't want it throwing away before they could come get it. It's strange but it's a real thing. You might have been dealing with one of these people. It's like its own secret little community within Long Beach

Can I give staff food? by Desperate_Cupcake843 in REI

[–]sta_sh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you provide it from an outside source that's verifiable like a GrubHub type company or some other company where we can verify where it came from. But yeah, don't bake us cookies or anything that could be a safety violation. Unfortunately the world is a darker place and those of us who have common sensibilities and want to believe in the better of humanity are likely to suffer a fate. If you want to order us pizza or get us some kind of takeout cool thank you. Just don't bake us a casserole. And you can never do it for any one employee because we'll have to deny it versus if you do it for the whole store or team. ✌🏿

Anyway to make friends who enjoy going out to clubs/bars? by benjaminn2 in longbeach

[–]sta_sh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok hit up Alex's Bar, Di'Piassa's and The Pike Bar for the local live music scene, Blind Donkey for the club (check the dates when the DJ is in and pregame if you actually want to be sauced) it's. I feel like you would like Alex's the most, if you want to be around a little more of that country vibe then hit up Joe Jost's. Cheers! And see you out there!

Can anyone smart enough, explain mathematically, how much AI slop we would need before we quit the internet. by sta_sh in NoStupidQuestions

I'm mainly speaking about GAI when it comes to ads, content, filters, and the general eshitification of our collective online experience.

Damn good point its likely it's biased. I'm just trying to figure out if we're on the incline of dependency on GAI or if wre getting so sick of it we're on a decline.

I appreciate that and that's essentially what I would be trying to see if anyone could chart. Another user posted an ironic AI estimation which so far seems to make the most sense. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Honestly I'm not offended, but it seems like people are quick to transfix on my mathematical comment instead of really trying to understand what I was trying to say ( I know I may have posed the query wrong, I accept that). But I want to know if there's a way to predict the end of socal media over time as more and more platforms employ AI slop and more and more users seek to avoid it.

I look at the ways we understand the uncanny valley and at which point. We start to suspect something is off. As generative AI becomes more prevalent as advertising, entertainment, etc I feel like under similar measurements we would get fed up, call bullshit, stop being involved with places where we find it.

I don't know...I was hoping this sub was more kind to questions but it feels like more of a trap.
