AI is probably making that a little harder though.

May you never have the same experiences I had, fr. I’m glad it’s going well for you.

Really? I have had so many fights with them over the phone from myself and my parents, that I will never willingly use them again.

I’ve had good luck as a back up to Duck Duck Go with Mojeek. It’s so old school, it doesn’t always know what you want, but I sometimes want that.

They’re doing it to sell to companies to sell positive opinions and politics from “real” people.

Metaverse tells me that he doesn’t understand kids or market trends.

I don’t think people are getting that they are going to sell this as a service to corporations. Kind of like selling positive feedback on Amazon if Amazon did or does that. They’re not trying to boost numbers, but sell people saying what the company wants them to say. This can be anything from politics to buying a certain product.

They’re the ones buying it.

I agree he’s a weirdo, but this isn’t engagement per se, it’s to make money. If someone seems legit and is saying how awesome a product is, people will buy stuff. Meta will create a persona for businesses for a price. Meta wouldn’t let people go rogue and create their own, they want to sell the service.

According to this ranking, Mexico beats our healthcare by quite a few spots (US is 38th and Mexico is 21st) and they have a woman president. They’re kind of kicking our ass.

Mexico Healthcare

Healthcare in Mexico is a multifaceted system comprising public institutions overseen by government departments, private hospitals and clinics, and private physicians. It is distinguished by a unique amalgamation of coverage predominantly contingent upon individuals’ employment statuses. Rooted in the Mexican constitution’s principles, every Mexican citizen is entitled to cost-free access to healthcare and medication. This constitutional mandate was translated into reality through the auspices of the Instituto de Salud para el Bienestar (English: Institute of Health for Well-being), abbreviated as INSABI;[1] however, INSABI was discontinued in 2023.[2]

It wasn’t expensive, but it had more sentimental value than my fear of what was on it.

When the cops were on silent strike in Seattle, our car got broken into a lot. You get used to it. The first time was weird, but then I just started not being attached to anything I have in the car. I definitely got rid of extra straws and stuff afterwards though. I also had a water bottle that they didn’t take and I sanitized the shit out of it. I doubt they slept in it, the risk would be pretty high.

I’m glad the guy responded though, he’s probably helping someone that’s reading his comments. I doubt he’s afraid of being trolled.
