I saw a guy doing this recently (not to a barista, but someone that worked with the public) and the only thing that kept me from losing my mind on him was knowing there was no way the worker wanted to deal with him AND me blowing up at him. He eventually just left, but it was maddening to witness.

Also, IME upper middle and upper class people are about 1000% more likely to do this than anyone else. This douche sounded like the frattiest frat bro to ever frat.

On lemmy, a ban can be a few different things:

1. Banned from the instance your account is on. This means you have to make a new account, usually on a different instance.
2. Banned from a different instance than the one your account is on. This means you get banned from communities you’ve participated in on that instance, and that instance will no longer federate with your account. You might participate in new communities on that instance, and people not on that instance will see your comments, but people on the instance you were banned from won’t see them. From the perspective of that instance you don’t exist anymore.
3. Not banned from any instances, but banned from individual communities. You can’t post in that specific community but can still interact with the instance that community is on.

Like someone else said, clear as mud, lol.

Bro, it’s not a person and it doesn’t think. This is embarrassing for you. This is like thinking there are little people in the TV.

Yeah, it’s based on knowing the difference between a tool and a human being 👍

The plagiarism machine vomits out the visual equivalent of text prediction. It isn’t an artist any more than the text prediction on your phone is an author if you hit the next predicted word enough times, people are artists and authors. Image generation is at best a Xerox machine.

Art is made by artists, who are human, and your argument is the fallacy fallacy.

If typing a prompt into a plagiarism machine makes you an artist, why doesn’t paying a real human to make art for you also make you an artist?

If someone said they were the artist of something but it turns out they just paid someone else to do it, would you think they were a talentless jackass or an artist?

Why? They’re right. There wasn’t an artist involved in making that.

Yeah, you stand next to one of those things and you understand animism.

The lack of any photos of anything other than dyed real eggs and an instagram post from a cooking blog showing off their nicely decorated chocolate eggs is also a big tip off.

Would have been nice for the meme to use a photo of kintsugi instead of AI slop.

Wait you’re telling me it’s Kickero? 🤯

Really burying the lede with that headline, Jesus Christ.

Ever since this broke I’ve been so curious to see which are dealers with bad, rushed paperwork before a deadline that they let pile up before mass-submitting, and how many are outright fraud. Neither would surprise me at this point.

This has to be the pilot version of that nightmare where you’re back in high school and also naked. Maybe some teeth falling out too.

Edit: based on the FlightAware log it looks like they were maybe an hour and a half out when the pilot realized they fucked up. Better than right before landing, I guess?

Earplugs or noise cancelling headphones are a game changer, 90% of the problem for me is the noise.

It probably doesn’t help.

So you literally just want no criticism of team blue or something?

Oops, guess I wasn’t supposed to ask that one.

I voted for Biden and Harris and am one of the people being fucked over by Trump, and that’s still not enough. I have to tongue the asshole of every elected blue freak that is champing at the bit to throw people like me under the bus as soon as it’s expedient.

Hold up, let me get this straight: the people who didn’t vote for Harris caused the genocide that was already going on in Gaza, because Trump was elected. But also when Biden was president there was nothing he could have possibly done to stop the genocide that was happening in Gaza?
