Disgree except with the food desert thing. Theyreactually way cheaper than some chemically-generated-fiber cookies n cream bar bullshit. Its just that they take some effort and time to make and everyone wants convenience

So dont listen to it? I mean what is the problem here.

I never listen to basically anything spotify recommends me, just songs from bands I already know and love. And if I were to purchase the whole discography of the breadth of music I listen to it would cost the down payment on my house

I just took the test. It makes it VERY hard to express right wing viewpoints as it expresses them in extreme and obviously negative terms. I think it would be pretty hard to get anyone to score roght wing on that test

How can you afford a 300k mortgage at 55k a year. That would be a very large percent of monthly pay right?

People keep making comments about fable like this? You could only use it for what like a week? How is that at all enough time to evaluate? Opus 4.6 didnt suffer from this problems for a hot minute and then when newer models were released it got worse. I think they change a ton behind the scenes and allocate compute however they want, so the model you use today may behave much differently than how it behaved yesterday
