“Someone may inconvenience you, today. Give yourself permission to knock things off of their desk.”

Needed a 25, sorry.

“Anyway, Kevin - the kid your fiancé is pregnant with is mine, so it’s fine. We’re cool, right Kevin?”

Anything you do on USPS also goes to Google.

Opening a PO Box in person should avoid this issue.

Post Office Boxes are the solution.

My experience with ethically run (if unethically created) local models has been similar. Lots odd hardware to get slow mediocre answers.

But the biggest reason AI competes with plain old web search is that they’ve enshittified the web search available to us.

They feels penny wise dollar stupid, by the restaurant.

If I go into an all-you-can-eat restaurant, and a person like this guy isn’t there being treated like royalty for being a regular, I know the food, and the vibe, will suck, and I’m not coming back.

The whole thing reeks of bad management, by an owner or manager who has no idea what line of business they’re in.
