  • They don’t give a shit about your stolen items, and 9/10 times it’s a complete waste to even contact them over “petty theft”, regardless of how valuable the item/s are to you.

    When I was in college, my apartment got broken into. The cop that came when I called was less than helpful. Some highlights:

    • He immediately argued with me that the crowbar marks on the door frame must have been there before.
    • I told him about the TV that was stolen and he bragged that he had two TVs that were larger than that.
    • He tried to bust me for weed when he saw my hookah. I had to explain to him that it was in fact not a bong and was only used for tobacco.
    • He mentioned that if it were him robbing me, he would have stolen the microwave instead.
    • As he was leaving, he told me that they wouldn’t be able to catch whoever did it, so they weren’t going to look.














  • The fucksmith post in question has been removed by moderators, so I wonder if Google really is pressuring Reddit to remove jokes from their platform now. This person had no idea their shit post would be used to train AI over a decade later, and they certainly weren’t violating any policies when they posted it. It’s like nobody involved in this process knew anything about Reddit.

    Pay $60 million to train on bad data.
    Implement AI trained on bad data.
    Panic when the AI returns bad answers.
    Manually remove bad data.
    Profit??

    Edit: it was removed when I checked yesterday, but it looks like they restored it.
