The last time I had to take a business trip, all my flights were on time.

I got banned years ago from r/funny because I was browsing on "new" (like I do here), responded to a post with a lame joke within minutes after it posted, then the powers that be decided the poster was a spammer, and banned me too. I asked them why they banned me, but got absolutely nothing in response. It turns out, though, that being banned from there made absolutely no difference to my Reddit experience.

Now that Reddit is a public company, and courting income from paid official subreddits, it's only a matter of time before there is a huge class-action lawsuit over their uneven moderation policies. Especially if companies start steering a good portion of their customer interaction there. It is super unfair to be cut off from legitimate customer service because of a power-tripping mod in a totally different part of Reddit.

Besides, I hit on the best way to ensure I never get banned from Reddit: I don't go there anymore.

Such lazy journalism. "Where's the beef" was a Wendy's slogan....

Bullshit. AI are not human. We shouldn't treat them as such. AI are not creative. They just regurgitate what they are trained on. We call what it does "learning", but that doesn't mean we should elevate what they do to be legally equal to human learning.

It's this same kind of twisted logic that makes people think Corporations are People.

Maybe Cheney got an ethics transplant along with the heart transplant

I don't think I have a viable path to any electoral votes

(Haha, I meant to type "Provably" but I think "Probably" works better)

I like how they say “Watch the full video and you’ll clearly see that JD Vance does not say what they claim he said", knowing that the full video does the opposite, but their fans will never bother clicking on it.

Then that awesome human is doing sarcasm correctly.

Right, it's the whole gift card scam thing, except done with Bitcoin instead of Apple gift cards. I'm surprised there are enough Bitcoin ATMs to make this a real thing.

What's better is that, thanks to Elon Musk, "STINKY" is the default name for its Starlink wifi. These people didn't even change that.

Here's an interesting bit:

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09/05/us/trump-election-interference-hearing/jack-smith-shows-flashes-of-emotion-as-trumps-election-case-returns-to-court?smid=url-share

Sitting in a row with other Justice Department officials behind the counsel table, he [Jack Smith] smiled broadly when John Lauro, a lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump, said offhandedly that he had yet to address his plan to file a motion challenging the legality of the special counsel.

Mr. Smith emphatically nodded his head in agreement several times after the presiding judge, Tanya S. Chutkan, interrupted Mr. Lauro when he suggested that the Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas had directed Mr. Trump’s lawyers to raise the issue. Judge Chutkan interrupted, and said, “He directed you to do that?”

Now, we may find that the lawyer was exaggerating a bit. But if it turns out that Thomas somehow reached out to the Trump legal team and said "Hey, I wrote this thing specifically to get you off the hook, use it", wouldnt that be a Big Fucking Deal?
