I like humans. They’re pretty neat. My friends and family are particularly awesome. The site I’ve used to interact with them (rhymes with Schmacebook) has largely pivoted to content from “people” I’ve never heard of (usually about the same few topics) and yes, AI slop. Even groups where people ask for help will inevitably have people saying “oh, I talked with the clanker about this because clearly you can’t do that and here’s what it said…”

I’ve resisted posting on Reddit, but honestly I feel like Lemmy is sorely missing social posts about people’s day to day in factor of memes and stuff. It has its place, but I’m looking for a mix of things.

A perfect 8/13 (Spoilers for The Good Place)

tax revenue. People spend money, that money has sales tax, room tax, etc. Obviously the city does not own the hotels, restaurants, clothes and souvenir stores people will end up in, etc.

You figured it out! You win math! 😀

For clickability

Which means more ridership (ticket revenue) and more tax revenue going into the area through other means, like hotels.

Surely whatever logistics they use for NFL games can also be used here? How much more of a crowd could they be expecting?

Isn’t that, like, all transit though? If the RV show is in town I wouldn’t expect them to pay for transit either.

But in other events they can figure out how to run it charging 90% less, or if you use Trump math 1000% less?

NJ Transit said this month that train tickets to MetLife Stadium for the World Cup would cost $150 — more than 10 times the normal price

That’s the infuriating part. WTF are they doing?

Let’s not build the torment nexus

Those are definitely words

Those are two very different things, and more than one ticket per month over the course of a year (and those are just the times you get caught) is more than generous.

France shares its longest land border with Brazil

Honestly, people love to shit on the PT Cruiser but at least it tried to be a little different - arguably in a cool retro way!

But how should a singer who produces an album, or an author who writes a book, or whatever be compensated? Its popularity isn’t really known until after it’s published, it’s not really fair for a damn good writer to get paid the same as someone who produces slop.

Canadian bacon comes from the back (as in, near the back bone) of the pig. Ham comes from the other back (as in, the butt)… Which isn’t to be confused with the pork butt (also called pork shoulder) from the front, typically used for pulled pork.

Agreed, but uh… Nobody’s* (as in, nobody is. Not plural of nobody)

As (currently) the only other person to reply to that net-upvoted comment, pretty much that. I also did not up- or downvote

Which isn’t even called the iWatch

I mean, he is stepping down from that position but will continue to be with the company. If the headline just said he’s stepping down it could imply that he’s leaving entirely which would not be true.

Sure, but there was also a time where companies tried to make that profit by providing good products and enjoyable experiences customers wanted, rather than simply being a monopoly where users can choose between an obscene amount of ads or yet another subscription
