Wasn’t she the one that got jealous when Trump got gifted his Saudi jet?

Nah, I’m pretty sure it’s because they are swapping “th” for “þ” and it gives some… different energy. LLMs don’t work like this person seems to believe they do. A simple character swap isn’t going to do anything to slow an LLM down. It will just swap the character back. However, it’s not even going to bother with “What’s þe scene from?” because it’s not a comment worth scraping. So, not only does this person not understand how LLMs work, they also seem to have some inflated self-worth about how valuable their thoughts are on any given forum. They aren’t being downvoted for the question, just the way they asked it.

The NYT sold out a long time ago. I wouldn’t work for them under the presumption they’d have my back. Shit, I hope everyone is keeping their sources truly anonymous, because I wouldn’t put it past the editors to drop dimes to get in better with Trump.

Obviously you are going to believe whatever you are going to believe. I’m not going to spend any more time making my argument. Have a good night.

I don’t disagree that DeJoy’s leadership has been problematic. The 2020 operational changes were concerning and rightly faced scrutiny. But those were high-level policy decisions that affected mail service broadly and were immediately detected and challenged. What you’re suggesting here is completely different: individual carriers across Davidson County fraudulently marking specific election mail as undeliverable. That would be a federal crime requiring coordination among many people, would leave obvious evidence, and doesn’t align with the documented issues under DeJoy’s leadership, which were about capacity reduction and service standards, not fraud. The fact that USPS leadership has made questionable decisions doesn’t mean we should assume fraud in every situation involving the mail. We need actual evidence for that specific claim.

You are making a lot of assumptions. I don’t think there is any evidence of some grand scheme against people getting their mail. I can say with relative certainty that I’ve never not gotten mail I was expecting from USPS. The others, sure, but they aren’t funded by the government. USPS doesn’t serve a profit goal. They seek to serve, and most mailpersons take their jobs pretty seriously. I don’t think it’s fair to disparage a group just to fit the pessimistic narrative you are trying to construct. Its a federal crime to tamper with the mail, including by the post office by marking it undeliverable. If they marked 80k undeliverable without any attempt, I think someone would notice. Besides, 80k were purged, many more were delivered and mark on the voter registry. I just don’t see anything to line up with the idea you are purposing.

Yep, clickbait headline for something that seems completely on the up and up.

Wait! He’s putting a tariff on upholstered furniture? Has anyone told the vice president, yet?

Troll account. ez block.

Yep. 86 is used across the restaurant. You can 86 meatballs, 86 vodka, or 86 a douchebag at the bar. In most cases it just means we are out of something due to demand or the prep crew slacking off. In the case of customers, it means they are removed from the premises. I can envision a world where there could be a temporary 86, and we’d allow the customer to come back, but it’s never happened. If we have to kick you out, we REALLY don’t like you. If the kitchen has to stop cooking in the middle of service to threaten you, then be thankful if you walk out with all your bits attached.

We had to 86 a guy this weekend. He was a regular, kinda off but never a problem. Well, this weekend he just started going nuts with this shit. Racism, transphobia, conspiracy theories. He was harassing the bartender and the two patrons sitting next to him. Took three of us walking out from the kitchen to get him to move. He was ready to go to war.

It’s not laziness, it’s working conditions. The farms have the golden position. Government subsidies, low overhead for workers, and no one to take action against them because they are illegal. If someone who could actually take action against labor practices on these modern day plantations were to start working there, we’d see a lot more about them in the news. As it stands, it gets looked over because everyone doing the work is brown. Why do you think farms are so quick to jump to the aid of migrant workers when ICE comes around swinging dick? It’s not because they actually give a shit about their workers well being.
