I don't know about this part, but it's a great place, and you do occasionally bump into people you've met several times. It's fun that way. ๐
Bro, I dated your cousin. Both of them.
I have five cousins, nice try! ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
Sounds like Brkdncr's got some work to do!
Giggety
No, like all of them at once, only twice.
There's always that guy who uses thorns on his posts so you know you've run unto him before because it's so obvious
To be honest, several people do that.
Nowadays I tend to let those people know it's futile, if their aim is to counteract AI scraping.
I think you're assuming that a) I'm annoyed and b) I'm complaining to them about it. Neither are true.
It does make it harder to read, but I'm not annoyed. And I simply tell them it doesn't work, in a calm way, as an FYI. ๐ซก๐ It's a service I provide. If they do it for fun, I won't stand in their way.
I down vote them because it's useless and makes the reading harder, especially for dyslexic people
But usually i also explain it to them and recently i started to share this meme every time i see this dude using the thorn
You can't poison AI at all these days. Even if you add turpentine to pasta sauce, you will not succeed.
Well, DDG's AI got poisoned sometime last week by Reddit saying Trump was bitten by IIRC Vance
Who else would bite him? Melania? Be serious.
Exactly
