I think you prefer the chatbot because it wil only talk about whatever you want to talk about. Real people have their own thoughts and experiences, and in a typical conversation both people express those based on their perception of life and the topic at hand. But you can't seem to handle hearing other people's perspectives because they deviate from your own thoughts and perceptions. To you, this is other people misunderstanding you. But I think they do understand. They're just not hyperfocused on discussing exactly what you want to discuss in the way you want to discuss it, and tbh that's not something you should expect any human to do.

Really think about what you are expecting of yourself at times like that. Sometimes nice restaurants make me feel pressured to have a good time or otherwise "fit in" with the other people eating there.

Maybe it's less popular because so many people buy ice cream to eat with actual apple pie, or some other kind of pie which might taste weird with apple pie flavors.

But then the restaurant would be paying for that service, not making money from it. They probably wouldn't even be aware the data was being sold.

Uh what? Where the heck did you hear it's bad to wear sunglasses during the day?? How would that have an effect on sleep rhythms? Do you think blind people don't sleep, or...?

If I got an invite like this and I knew that many people were invited, I may have assumed that most of the others would show up, and therefore you may not even notice whether I showed up or not. Like, inviting 50 people is already kind of impersonal, isn't it? Would you really have the time to interact with all 50 if they had all showed?

And really, who cares if you don't have 50 friends? I don't. Most people I know don't. They might have 50 acquaintances, but keeping up that many friendships would be exhausting.

Lol restaurants don't have time for that shit. Who would buy that kind of data from a restaurant anyway? Even if you had more than 200 applicants a month that would probably net you less than $10.

Yeah, it's early and my brain didn't even register "cancer research org". When I first read the title I thought you were equating people's need to eat with drug abuse.

Wait so according to that quote, if increased police presence in public spaces creates increased violence, the answer is... more police in public spaces? And therefore more violence... This feels insane.

Where and when was that? I've lived on both sides of Washington for 40 years and have never seen any "English only" signs.

Alternatively, if you really prefer the rotating menu thing you could forget the food truck and do a supper club. Typically a reservation-only, once a week or once a month thing, or whenever you have time. If you could find a small local farm to partner with, they may be able to offer you dining or cooking space in return for showing off their veggies or something.

Hey, I think this may actually be fake. Did you notice the URL is nytco.com rather than the one all their news articles typically come from, nytimes.com?

There is a new trend of bad actors trying to impersonate big publications by changing the URL slightly and copying the website design. Some of them are very convincing. This one was hard to figure out because the NYT is indeed owned by NYT Company, but all news articles are posted through nytimes.com (with the exception of only this particular article). When you search for New York Times Company, nytco.com doesn't even come up.
