Yes, and for centuries, leaving your house while drunk to go get food was a viable option because walking or riding a horse while drunk is a lot safer than driving a car.

Then we got cars, and the roads became dangerous. And yes, there was a brief period where there were no delivery services from restaurants. But very quickly, restaurants realized they could get more sales if they offered to deliver food to people for reasons like the many I listed above.

So to be clear, are you pining for that brief period of time a handful of decades long, between the time of cars being widely adopted and restaurants offering delivery and using that as an example for something you believe everyone should return to?

They ordered pizza or Chinese or some local store that had their own delivery drivers. That doesn’t exist anymore. Stores outsource their deliveries to companies like door dash.

Oh sorry, was this supposed to be some dumbass “gotcha” that completely ignores reality?

Regulation and accountability are one thing. Having a fucking pipe dream and saying some version of “if we all band together, they’ll fail because no one will be using it” is another.

You are not going to stop people from using AI. Thinking there is literally any scenario where people will just stop using AI, or stop creating content that AI can be trained on, means you have an utter misunderstanding of basic human nature. It’s like a child thinking they can stop all wars if they just explained to everyone that killing is bad.

That’s what this post is. Use sites like reddit. Don’t use sites like reddit. It doesn’t matter. Maybe it makes you personally feel better, but don’t delude yourself into thinking it makes a difference. You would have more luck trying to fight the tide by standing on the shore with a sign that says “Tide, please don’t come in today”.

I see posts like this as pathetic desperation. Someone upset that technology is growing in a direction they don’t like, so they are performing worthless actions and deluding themselves into thinking it means something.

Yea dude. Not wanting to drive after drinking is just laziness.

Because if your car has broken down, or you’re exhausted from a long day of work and your family is hungry, or you’re too drunk to safely drive but still want food, or if you straight up don’t have a car and don’t want to cook that night, or you are on vacation at a hotel or airbnb and don’t have other access to food, or you have a baby that you can’t just leave alone for a few minutes to go pick the food up, or you are in the middle of a study session and it would be more convenient to have the food come to you rather than going to get it.

Looks like there’s lots of reasons people might take advantage of the service that can deliver food to them, and it’s not unreasonable for them to expect that service to not completely fuck it up.

Give it to a girl you like, then go on a magical space adventure that may be a dream and has a story that makes no God damn sense.

People shit on disposable razors all the time but… Several years ago, a brand called Dorco made a 6 bladed disposable razor that was absolutely fucking incredible. My face would feel like a baby’s ass after I shaved and had zero irritation. Then they suddenly switched factories and their razors became shitty. Really shitty. For a while you could buy surplus of the old stock on eBay and I bought a fuck ton of them. I’ve been slowly going through said stock and probably have another decade or so worth.

I have no idea what I’m going to do once I run out. Nothing else I’ve tried even comes remotely close to how well these razors work.

I was so surprised I didn’t see Wolfenstein further up. They are like THE Nazi killing games.

If it was during totality, and you were actually in the path of totality, there is no harm looking at the sun, even with magnification. But ONLY during totality and ONLY if you are firmly within the path.

During the last solar eclipse, I had my telescope set up and knew we had just over 4 minutes. Once it went dark, I quickly got it aimed and saw the corona in all its glory. Literally the most incredible thing I have ever seen in my life. But I also had a stopwatch going as soon as totality started, and at 3 minutes I stopped and wouldn’t let anyone look through anymore. Even the tiniest sliver would be enough for serious eye damage.

So yea, it’s safe, but not a single second before, and not a single second after.

Pretty much the perfect plant that has nothing but positive benefits. People just decided they were a weed despite them being great for the soil, great for bees, lush, resilient, and literally every part of them being edible.

Don’t you remember all the “Gabe plays video games too” articles?

I don’t. Literally the first I’m hearing of it.
