There's a LOT of bot activity here.

“Only” 10 years makes it sound shorter than it should be. 10 years is way, way longer than any bubble should last.

A lot of folks whose first language isn't English use "only" in the way OP did. It's not to signify a shorter amount of time than people think it ought to be. It means in this case that the AI bubble would not pop before 10 years is up.

Me too, I often skip it and my soups are fine.

They do it bc that's how they learned it in culinary school / that's how the recipe goes. It adds a bitter flavor to balance onion and carrot. You don't need it and you can replace it with something else.

No matter what your job is, if you sit in front of a computer all day pushing buttons, it's time to start looking for a new job.

Oh definitely don't do that.

Demand creates jobs, not benevolent rich people.

This is an airport. Thank you for announcing your departure.

I can't imagine having trouble understanding that word but let me know if you actually need clarification.

I'm really waiting for this idea to catch on. I got online in the late 80s to get away from normies and their boring, repetitive normie mind-viruses. Back then it was just nerds talking to other nerds. Nowadays you can't even talk to your friends here. This whole thing is for people to get angry about politics and buy products. The sooner all these people leave, the sooner we can get back to what originally brought us here.

Hopefully soon, going on social media will be seen as a bad antisocial habit like smoking.

Anyone who buys gold online should have a tester, and there are reputable bullion companies like JM who don't charge a lot of markup. If you're on ebay trying to buy gold bullion there's a chance it's probably fake / silver wrapped with gold and stamped. There's videos on the internet of folks cutting those bars in half and seeing what's inside.

A way to increase your chances of buying real product is to buy coins that are in bad enough shape where there's no numismatic value left. Whereas every country that mints coins has strict laws against counterfeiting them and you can go to prison for doing it, making "novelty" gold bars and rounds is perfectly legal and there's almost no risk if you get caught scamming people with them (most often just a platform ban).

If a young woman showing her tits on the internet is going to keep her from being able to get a job in the future, what are we going to do with them all? It's a lot of people.
