WWWBoard is such a nostalgia hit. My local music venue's forum was where my early internet persona originated. Sometimes I nostalgic and use Wayback machine to see what all my fellow teenagers were talking about 25 years ago.

I tried both models. I could easily tell Maya was AI, but Miles sounded so lifelike that I felt that initial apprehension like hopping on a conference line with strangers. I even chuckled at one of his side remarks. It was strange knowing it wasn’t a real person, but it was very hard not to feel like it was.

How many people tried to intentionally make themselves vomit once they heard the rumor?

I think similar when I read stories like “police investigating use of slurs in local high school” or “police are investigating racial flyers” or some such…when did any of this become illegal? It’s not illegal in the US to have unpopular and or bigoted views.

Used to live in Japan and separating trash is no joke. If I didn’t use the right bag, or didn’t separate things properly, the trash bag would end up back on my porch with a big old yellow sticker. It was effective as I was really diligent with sorting my trash afterward.

Both Hulu and Peacock recently increased their prices by a dollar or something. Then Spotify did it. They’re just squeezing the last little bit of revenue they can before we’re all completely broke.

This is the reason I mod subs. Mods love to come up with new things they feel is ban-worthy. I try to remind them that we already have rules and just have to enforce them without creating additional work. It’s not fun always feeling like the dissenter, but I do it respectfully. So far so good.

I mod a sub of 2M but our community is so toxic, we don’t think any of the users give a shit. Most of us mod on Apollo so I’m sure the sub will get a little less moderation (which is probably a win for users anyway). Most of the mod complaints about their automated power mod tools not having API access have been resolved according to spez.
