  I don’t think so. Surely a friendship is a two-way street, does AI even have the ability to form a friendship?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  You should be very careful and only trust the Russian women less than half your age. Nobody would ever impersonate a barely-legal Russian woman in this economy. Send her an Apple gift card and see what she does with it, just to make sure.

  (Serious answer: You have to remember that these apps want you to stay on them. They’re dis-incentivised from making a good match for you. The chance isn’t zero because they need the occasional success story to keep people hopeful, but I wouldn’t suggest getting too invested in them. Go and sign up for an activity you might enjoy, there might be other people there you could make friends with.)

  You should feel absolutely zero guilt about pirating “triple-A” software. It’s a morally neutral act. The money they would’ve got from your purchase is so insignificant to them that it wouldn’t even show up on their annual returns. Assuming they file them.

  Based on your posting history, you need to find a different line of work, one that doesn’t involve people.

  And if you find one, please let me know so I can do it too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow. Had no idea that’s how it worked over there, fucking ridiculous. Glad that’s not how it works over here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The Michelin Guide is still run by the tyre company, and for much the same reasons - advertising, and getting people to go through their tyres faster (one Star justifies a stop, two Stars justify a detour, three Stars justify a special trip?) Though inspectors do try to offer genuine reviews, because at this point people who value such things trust the Guide because the Guide’s usually pretty close to reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just one factual point - restaurants don’t have to pay for a star. They don’t even have to apply to be considered (but it helps). The only costs are those incurred in running a fine dining restaurant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah.

  My bad. I always forget about countries that drive on what, to me, is the wrong side of the road.

  Thanks. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Terrible advice. If you’re not actively overtaking you’re supposed to always be in the left lane.

  Luckily, you’re on Lemmy, and we’re all nerds here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When kids come trick-or-treating, what happens if I choose trick?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t have to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When kids come trick-or-treating, what happens if I choose trick?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  One year I learned it was a valid option, I prepared card tricks and wore a t-shirt that said “It’s OK to choose trick” or something like that, and not one person chose trick. I remember being vaguely disappointed.

  Try Tubular, which is NewPipe plus SponsorBlock which makes the video watching experience even better. :)
