I would choose Waffle House over Denny's, but would rather go to a regular non-chain diner over either of those.

I hope that makes sense because it was the best way I could think of to rank it

Oh they do all breakfast foods. Get bacon and eggs or some other fried something if you want.

Also, I'm the kinda person that gets drunk and eats waffles

The brine is a thing that needs handled, but there are ways to handle it.

Unfortunately it is the kind of thing where the best solutions, like drying it and storing the salts, or pumping it underground, are expensive (and therefore hard to convince anyone to use), and the cheap solutions, like just dumping it back in the ocean, can have severe negative effects, like killing everything in the water around where it is dumped.

Edit to add: although looking at this, depending on how they actually build it, it might sort of just turn ocean water into brine on the spot as it removes water. That would be basically like dumping it bqck in the ocean as far as effects, and doesn't seem ideal

I'm not here to argue the finer points, and in general I simply try to aim for the practical actions that lead to better circumstances. I agree with many of your points.

This lawsuit won't fix anything but it will slow down the progress of OpenAI and their ability to loot culture and content for all it's value. I see it as a foot in the door for less economically capable artists and such.

Lawsuits are not isolated incidents. The outcome of this will have far reaching impacts on the future of how people's work is treated in regards to AI and training data.

Noooooooooo. No.

Everyone and every organization has a bias. Even a "neutral" bias is a bias. Finding out which way their bias leans is good info to figure out.

Someday maybe people won't use attractiveness as a symbol for intelligence and morals, but not today...

For someone who claimed to not be a fan of OpenAI, you sure do know all the fan arguments against regulation for AI.

Some people are missing the forest for the trees here

Having a businesses app on your phone is better regular advertising than anything they could ever pay for.

They just want an excuse to make you look at their logo and think about their business as regularly as possible

You wanted to say "You can be on lemmy without bringing reddit here." And phrased it as a bad question so you could post it here. You just want to soapbox.

Managing the content of your own feed is your responsibility. If people post off topic in communities, handle it with a report, not another post.

You are creating what you are complaining about. This thread is the most discussion about reddit I've seen in a week or more.

Lmao you don't really even know what you are talking about.

"Free speech" means the government itself cannot infringe your speech. It doesn't mean SHIT to anyone who isn't the government. "The court of public opinion" is not a literal court! And it is a group expression of the free speech you love!

You are just bitching about people being deplatformed off of privately owned websites (which isn't what happened to this asshole because he is on fuckin netflix) and you want to be dramatic and make it seem like they are all victims and need to be protected based on your misunderstanding of law

You are just trying to get people to rage watch it.

The transphobia is obviously, clearly there. It won't stop being fucked up and shitty because he giggled after he said it.
