Changing a total of three lines is hardly worth mentioning.

As a professional software I know that the actual typing is hardly any of the work - let alone on someone else’s code!

And you’re a developer too, so you know this. This minimising of his contributions comes across as you arguing in bad faith, not to mention backing up the complaints about your hostile attitude.

I thought it was more that they drank it and it was cleaner. Same for tea.

“I might try to put up a (compliant) post a day for a half-fortnight”?

It’s an ad in your post, fittingly (although yours isn’t particularly ironic).

Do you know of oulipo.social? No fifth symbols found on all of that domain.

I keep seeing stupid, seemingly very person-specific definitions get the votes, stuff like “John: a really sexy, clever boy that all the girls want to be with”

Ackchyually, they never said which average they meant, you just assumed mean.

And it’s not even that hard, just try the sentence with he/him to test it out:

• Who lives above? He lives above.
• Whom is this for? This is for him.

It only looked ok in the textarea you wrote it in, but the format was wrong.

You have a few options:

<span style="color:#323232;">* lists
</span><span style="color:#323232;">* with a * or -
</span>

• lists
• with a * or -

<span style="color:#323232;">Blank

</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">For paragraphs

It looked like you were trying to use code formatting which is three backticks, but you used single quotes. This is a backtick: `

<span style="color:#323232;">Then
</span><span style="color:#323232;">It'll  keep   exactly what you write
</span><span style="color:#323232;">l1I|

Apart from OP’s picture missing the 's on Kelley’s, it seems genuine due to the matching inconsistent use of capitalisation.

I liked when the US National Honey Board funded a study that compared honey, cane sugar, and HFCS and found they’re all about the same (and all raised a key blood fat, a marker for heart disease).

Of course, the truth is that sugar’s sugar and you should have limited amounts of it, but when it’s as cheap as HFCS is in the States, they can stick it in everything.

I’m not a regular there any more, but I feel like there’s more “natural” spam posts nowadays. They’re not natural enough that they haven’t prompted me to check the account’s post history (all mention product x, of course).

Edit: e.g. this one

If this is an example of the AI, it’s not very good.

Deebster, 13 hours ago

You’re claiming that Generative AI isn’t AI? Weird claim. It’s not AGI, but it’s definitely under the umbrella of the term “AI”, and at the more advanced end (compared to e.g. video game AI).

Deebster, 15 hours ago

This one’s obviously fake because of the capitalisation errors and … but the fact that it’s otherwise (kinda) plausible shows how useless AI is turning out to be.

Road distances are in miles if you’re driving, but if you’re running (maybe also cycling?) then it’s in km.

I had to check, but the real thing is the Dairy Council and this is a parody account. Obviously it’s way more interesting than the real @dairyuk account.

If I’m remembering it right, the Entwives preferred to garden, whereas the Ents preferred thing wild and untamed* so they both lived in different parts and visited each other. Then one day then Ents visited to find only barren lands where the gardens had been. The Ents searched but never found out what happened.

• which would make the Entwives more authoritarian, right?

Oh whoops, I should close some windows, because I currently have 623 open tabs in Firefox across 107 windows. It’s working fine, even with all my plugins running. Firefox is good at unloading dormant tabs.
