Ha they sent me the same message, and while I was not booted as a mod, I led the protest effort in a few subs that I modded in and helped out over in Save3rdPartyApps. I didn’t delete my account, just went silent after resigning when other mods got cold feet as soon as it started to get real.

The aggression in Liotta’s laugher makes it the most appropriate gif.

Was Israel why he was cancelled? I thought it was his criticism of China.

So AM stands for “Allied Mastercomputer,” thanks. I’m unfamiliar with the story, so I didn’t realize the phrase OP quoted was the title.

Where’d you get the A from? It’s called ”Project Maven” in the article which would make it PM.

AM?

But that’s a huge downside to most people.

“No no, silly heathen. The death penalty is for sinners, and unborn babies are without sin.”

They have zero interest in capital punishment reform.

I vote for Super Switch

In what way?

It for sure says it on the can, but it’s not on the front of the can. This page has photos of the whole can, and agave nectar is in the beverage description (photo 3) as well as the second ingredient in the ingredients list.

All Spindrift flavored seltzers are sweetened with fruit juice.

Not if you’re trying to become a martyr

I didn’t say tipping wasn’t a thing for delivery drivers. I said it was not typical for contract work. But regarding this comparison, tipping was in no way expected for deliveries before the apps. Del drivers back then were given a livable base wage and were reimbursed for mileage and gas on their vehicle, which the apps also do not do. I know because I did deliveries in college before the apps. It was also normal to tip less than 10% of the purchase price for delivery, yet the suggested tip values in app are always 10% or more. And another difference is drivers weren’t allowed to pick deliveries based on the tip value, but that’s how the apps work making your “tip” effectively the payment for delivery speed. That’s not how tipping is supposed to work.

But back to what I originally said, tipping is not typical for contract work. There is no other type of contract work where tipping 10-20% is expected other than delivery, ridehsare, and other similar new apps, so the apps created this trend for contract work, and it’s merely a way to pressure the customer to pay their workers so they don’t have to.

This is simply a company using legal distinctions to shift the blame. These delivery drivers should be employees of the company. Besides, tipping is not topical for traditional contractors. Any payment is agreed upon ahead of time in the contract, and payment is made in accordance with said contract. Tips never enter into it.

The ACLU had a pretty good article on it a few years ago. It seems the inaccuracy comes from the number false positives and the resulting aggressive police response.

What I want to know is how Banksy got it back after it was noticed on display in 2005. Did the museum give it back or sell it or just throw it away? Something had to happen in order for Bansky to loan it back to the museum over a decade later.

Never too serious for a healthy dose of pedantry.

And I am taking note to your wording because it’s so easy to come off negatively when being pedantic, yet you’ve avoided that quite elegantly.

Sounds like your right is only the request.

I can’t wait until this dystopia devolves a little further and you’re only afforded the right to ask for one phone call, but the cops can still give you any object in the room and tell you it’s a phone. And be careful because if you take hold of the fake phone, the cops aren’t required to give you a real phone, so you’ll forfeit your phone call, your lawyer, and go straight to solitary confinement.

You’re completely missing the point. Making money doesn’t change the legality. YouTube was threatened by the RIAA before they even started showing ads. Displaying an image from a copyrighted work on an AI platform is not much different technologically than Voyager or even Google Images displaying the same image, and both could also be interpreted as “feeding you unlicensed content from others.”
