Yeah. I’m reluctant to tip anywhere that doesn’t offer table service.

Absolutely. If other people want to judge me for it, then their opinion doesn’t matter to me anyway.

Don’t support corporate “personhood”. Refusing to call Twitter by the stupid name Musk has given it is 100% acceptable.

I like JustWatch because it lets you search all your streaming services at once. If you set up a (free) account, you can limit it to just the streaming services you have personally. Handy as hell.

You nailed it. That’s why I put “okay” in quotes. Those laws exist for a reason, and lionizing cops who break the law only teaches the public to accept that lawbreakers are okay if they’re on Team Good.

Unfortunately, what the government calls “good” and what you and I call “good” are often different things.

That’s “okay”, though, because we, the viewers, often know that the suspect is guilty. The cops still come off as good (and smart, with good intuition as well) because we know for certain that they’re doing the “right” thing.

That’s because most fictional cops have ethics, empathy, and a conscience.

This is only a temporary “problem”. Eventually, ads will be incorporated into the story, and/or advertising companies will include clauses in their contracts. I imagine those clauses will DEMAND that websites include advertising in AI readers or not get paid for any ads they run.

Think enshittification. AI readers are only ad-free now in order to make them seem like an attractive option, and get people hooked on using them. I bet the numbers have already been calculated and decided on. Once AI readers are used by enough people, the ads will start.

I’d be too busy being surprised that Heaven actually existed, and that I made the cut.

I just learned this yesterday, and still can’t believe it. How can it not support hashtags? How do you find anything? Do they plan on supporting hashtags in the future, or are they on some kind of idiotic anti-hashtag crusade?

Microsoft reneged on promises it made in court…

If those promises aren’t legally binding, then why take them into account in the first place?
