It’s not used in the sense that somebody slept in it. But the packaging seal has been broken because it’s a returned item. The risk of lice is manageable.

That’s exactly it.

This is not a picture of you, right? Maybe you didn’t doxx her but there is really no need to continue this being spread online for a post in this forum.

WhatsApp used to cost money until then Facebook bought it.

I would go for your favorite expletive. So when you see the mess he made and cuss he’ll come and look at you. Probably with disdain.

Your eyeballs are unprotected for the printed ads. Your browser needs a couple of plugins and they’re gone.

Out of interest, why do you need a whole app for that? What does it do that you couldn’t do on search?

I agree with you. I think it’s a bot and thus should be banned, as per the rules.

Just block and move on is okay for trolls and sock puppets. I don’t think that’s a good strategy for bots. You don’t see them any more but they keep posting using bandwidth. They’re building up a profile with engagement that will make it harder to get banned down the line when they start using the account for something worse.

For your own mental health, I would suggest you stop living in this sub.

I don’t like the direction Google is taking Android. I’m not in favor of this enforced developer registration.

“Seems to” is not the same as “did.” With a couple of LLMs and a bit of time others could’ve dropped these rave reviews as well. It isn’t far fetched that it is Google. But from a PR point of view they’d be stupid if it was them. They gain nothing but bad headlines from a stunt like that. So we probably need a bit more proof than some screenshots.

I would demand to see passports if all the phone operators are really Swiss, like promised. And then complain if they’re not.

It is a bugbear for some, irregardless of when the first example was documented. Loose/lose has the potential to be such an annoyance. For some people.

The word “new” can carry a connotation of “recent” but it more literally implies “the latest version.” For all intensive purposes, I did not mean to imply the controversy about the metaphorical use of “literally” was a recent development.

This will literally be the new literally, I guess.

Spelling conventions have taken quite a hit in the age of automated subtitles. We’re devolving to the 1600s where this was more vibe based. I think there is also an element of wanting to show human frailty in content so no one suspects you of pushing slop.

Whether you like it or not, you have to abide by local laws. You can’t go to Pyongyang and exercise your first amendment rights either. The guy was warned and did this out of spite. Actions have consequences. Whether he just thought he was above the culture and norms as a tourist or whether he wanted to be a martyr for affected tourists everywhere really doesn’t matter. And his fate doesn’t infuriate me at all.

That being said the punishment itself is Draconian and not just mildly infuriating.

The Scunthorpe problem strikes again.

How is this mildly infuriating? If this Weekend at Bernie’s vibe turns out to be true, that wouldn’t be mildly infuriating. If it’s the story of an evil politician clinging to life like dog shit to your sneakers, it also isn’t just mildly infuriating. And if it is the story of an old man surely not long for this world, this isn’t infuriating at all.

Could it be the books are wrapped to protect against humidity? This may not be the whole reason why they do it but it wouldn’t be the worst one.

I kind of expect this sort of hidden ad shenanigans these days. Which I shouldn’t, of course. But as a result I find it more infuriating to have a link to the “article” next to the already opened very same “article.” Come on, algorithm! That’s just unforgivable.

Yes, I did hear that before.

Eff me, that wasn’t intended!
