I would argue that they’re smuggling in fentanyl precisely because the less dangerous drugs are also illegal, so there’s no oversight in making sure they’re not laced with the cheaper fentanyl.

“Millionaires’ column”

It peaked when it was good enough to generate short somewhat coherent phrases. We’d make it generate ideas for silly things and laugh at how ridiculous the results were.

I can stand by this for an established business. But we live in a capitalist society where you need money to make money. Until that changes, your ability to pay for work doesn’t have any bearing on the value of your new business venture.

Why would you need anyone to buy your products when you can just enjoy them yourself?

I’m saying that it makes no difference even if everyone did it. Denoising is trivial.

The noise you add won’t even register. No two people are going to half-ass it the same way, so if you average everyone’s responses, the correct answer comes out.

I use mine to sign up for random crap and made a game of trying to get as much spam as possible. I tick all the e-mail options.

I don’t know why everyone’s going on about weather. 1 mile is a 20 minute walk. A bus can do it in 5. That’s huge time savings regardless of the weather.

To make wine at all is trivial. Juice + yeast + time and you’re done. The hard part is making a predictable product and being able to afford the space for it.

People don’t want the rat race anymore than we want to pay exorbitant prices for healthcare or housing or food. But making customers happy isn’t as profitable.

Think about it. If everything was always available at the cheapest possible price, what would your shopping habits look like? You would buy things exactly when you need them. If you have to deal with higher normal prices and occasional sales, then you need to plan ahead and buy when things are cheap instead of when you need them. That means buying more stuff than you need because you didn’t plan adequately and got stuff that you never ended up needing.

Let’s be real, it’ll probably happen faster on 40 hour work weeks than 60.

It’s one thing to avoid particular marketplaces that have affiliate programs like Amazon, but if you’re going to buy something from them anyway, wouldn’t it be better to go out of your way to use an affiliate link? No affiliate link means giving more money to Amazon. Affiliate link means you can choose someone to get a small piece of the profits.

I don’t know why you say “points” plural. I made one point and it’s that [email protected] came to a very logical conclusion as a kid. No mention of any other kids, let alone all kids. But no matter. If you believe that you know more about shortrounddev’s life than shortrounddev, then we’re starting from a completely different basis of contradictory facts. You are correct if your bases are correct, and likewise for mine. Maybe you do know more about their life for all I know. I’m just an Internet stranger. I don’t know you. I don’t know shortrounddev.

Who said anything about relating to others? You criticized a kid for doing what any reasonable kid would do. That’s the part I’m responding to.

You would first have to believe that better tasting vegetables was a possibility before you start looking for it.

Considering how few people block all scripts, this could also make it trivial for them to fingerprint you.

Oh, yeah, I can see why uniform randomness would be a problem. I thought the criticism was directed at “Just sort people into a Lemmy server either based off their interests or location”

I was thinking that you do a little questionnaire and it gives you the best matching server.

Do you know why? It sounds to me like a great addition to the fediverse.

Shut down as in someone shut down the website or people telling you that the idea is trash?
