Coca-Cola is once again using generative AI to reimagine its classic Coke caravan holiday commercials, and in doing so, killing some of the festive joy you have for the brand.

Oh, you got me fucked up for someone else, The Verge. A soda manufacturer shilling their product does not bring me, nor anyone I know, “joy”.

Far miss on this. I’m too lazy to even look into new instances to move off of .world, let alone manage multiple accounts.

Hi friend, just to understand, what sort of language would you prefer be used that carries the same weight and connotation to the target of discussion? I’m struggling to find other words that weild the same intentions that couldn’t be categorized under “ableist”.

A lot of professors are overworked with classes and programs too. One of my girlfriends uas a professor for anatomy who teaches two full college courses before going to her massage school to teach anatomy. She says you can tell that the professor isn’t really there mentally. Sge never actually prepares for the courses she’s supposed to be teaching, but you can tell us just from exhaustion. I wonder how many are like that and just forget what coursework they’re currently preparing for others.

Out of curiosity, what businesses are you getting these straws from? The few times I got a paper straw I didn’t really notice an issue other than the texture on my lips. I wonder if those companies are just skipping on the quality. The good paper straws probably cost more than the plastic ones right now and I’d bet their trying to meet the same margins, or tighter.

I believe they’re referencing how some users simply want nothing more than conflict. So if you say that you like one thing, they will choose to interpret it to mean that you hate all other possible things, and then critique your opinion about liking a thing, as though it was hate speech of all other things. They do this simply to elicit a reaction from others.

Cars are much wider now than they used to be. Garages that were built more than 50 years ago likely are thinner.

Yeah exactly this. Can’t give an accurate food review if you can’t eat it immediately as presented. And if one-sided phone calls in restaurants weren’t bad enough presenting loudly to a camera would likely get you walked out.

I guess walking should be outlawed too, after all someone could be walking on a sidewalk and accidentally bump into you and knock you into the street. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I’m not sure I see that either, those generations know how dangerous and damaging monopoly is. You’re not a monopoly fan and still have friends or family…

I always thought the hallway bunks were for on-call positions to get rest in between work, not meant as personal bunks.

The instructions may recommend preheating, but with the two air fryers that I’ve had in my life, for both of them I found myself taking off last minute or two because it tends to overcook. Doesn’t matter if it’s anecdotal, directions are words on paper and they can’t understand the reality of the rules they set.

The people who write directions aren’t thinking of use, they’re thinking of legal consequences. Any company that makes an air fryer would rather have you burn your food than eat it undercooked.

As an honest answer, no preheat time. But I have an air fryer-pressure cooker combo, so the air fry is more of a bonus. If you already have a connvection oven, yeah there’s absolutely no reason to get an air fryer.

I’m surprised he kept his job so long, seeing how poorly he managed his own risks…

That sounds like the “American Sovereign Citizen”. Maybe if they just believe really really hard…

Are you talking about Cyberpunk or the Fallout series? Because both of these games fit that description. Sorry to hear you didn’t like it, but you might just not like the setting in general. It’s probably just not the RPG style that you want in your games but it’s still fully serviceable game.

I went into the story with absolutely no prior knowledge and I didn’t have any problem picking it up. World elements are explained to you as you explore which is self-driven rather than waypoint-based I suppose. I personally prefer to discover things through context rather than have everything spelled out for me like I’m the “every man” in an old 2000s TV show.

Also why are you attacking people who enjoy this game by by labeling their enjoyment “fanboyism”? Asking someone who came from All. It’s not like this is the worst RPG ever made or that it’s the same as it was when it was released.

I honestly don’t think they did a test at all. It’s legal for cops to lie in this state and they probably did it just to try and scare them. Everyone I’ve talked to knows that the fentanyl problem is coming from inside the house. And it’s been maddening hearing him in his cronies claim otherwise.

Personally, I would interpret this differently. This wasn’t a lie, this was gross incompetence. I choose to accept their bullshit at face value and let it play out on its own.

These cops are so stupid and so incapable of completing their job that they either found a positive fentanyl test and were so incompetent as to not find the drugs, or so incompetent as to apply the drug test incorrectly. You can also assume a third option that these officers were on fentanyl and contaminated the test themselves with their own supply.

All three of these options all result in better odds of them being removed from their job than them lying, which is legal for them to do for some reason. And just to be clear my comment isn’t about what actually happened, it’s about sharing the “correct” narrative the same way they do.

I wish more people would talk about cops in terms of incompetence when they lie.

Best way to teach a habitual lying child to stop, is to start lying to them about things that they like and then not making good on those promises. Yeah we’ll go to your favorite fast food, and then drive by and let them cry about it. Yeah I’ll let you pick out one toy, and then tell them you changed your mind. Each time you can explain to them how it’s the same as what they’ve been doing, and they feel it. AI can’t feel emotions, and never will so long as their memory extends only to their previous conversation.
