Maybe make the eyes the world instead.
Also the colored whiskers are strange, maybe keep them black.

Mega-Lot 1, a 100 story hellscape of crumbling concrete and rebar. Each level is ruled by a different gang and they are constantly at war. Child soldiers and suicide bombs are a norm. The basement is a tent city full of addicts and those that prey on them. The parking attendants are somehow more corrupt and dangerous than the gangs. Your parking pass costs you $2000 a month, it doesn't guarantee you spot, and owning a parking pass is a stiffly enforced requirement of vehicle registration. Escaping the parking lot each day is a mix of luck and bribes. It saves you 5 minutes off your two hour commute. Being late for work is an indictable offence with a minimum sentence of 15 years manual labor, performing maintenance on Mega-Lot 1.

Edit: spelling

Ok but how do we put ads on it?

I'm seeing a lot of people saying take the chance.

At the same time I can't help but think how disappointing it must be as a woman to not be able to have a platonic friendship with a guy without them thinking it's something more or wanting it to be. Maybe she thinks you're just a decent friend. If you take that shot there's a good chance she'll keep her distance in the future.

On the flip side I can't help but think of all the stories of girls flirting with guys who are completely oblivious.

Not enough info to make a good determination, other than life is short and you're young, you can afford to take a risk or two. Personally, I wouldn't but that's cause I'm a coward.

But is he... earnestly working on it?

Do puts count as an investment? I'd be confident in some reddit puts.
I hope they go public, their decline is my next get rich quick scheme.

Edit: theyre to their lol

If only we had strong provincial governments that were actually working together with the federal government, we could actually see some positive change. They could easily put a cap on gas prices, which ultimately would be tax dollars paying the difference in flux, but they would actually have a vested interest in scrutinizing the changes closely. Gas companies would actually have someone they needed to justify an increase to that has the power to refuse. It's not hard to bamboozle 40 million people with a 2 cent/litre increase every other week, we all have to drive to work. It is hard to bamboozle the tax man.

That said, it would also be easier if they colluded for them to drive up profits and hide the fleecing in our taxes. I guess it would depend on who was in power.

Also Suncor got hacked. Not seeing it much in the news outside of a couple articles. So we can expect gas prices to be effected by that, fun timing with legislation that will supposedly have an effect on prices. How much will be column A and how much column B, I wouldn't put it past what passes for journalism here to push it all onto the legislation.

Didn't they try that already and they ended up pulling the plug because the AI became a nazi?

[–] NetHandle@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Please dont give them a logical reason to be shittier than they already are

I guess there's the idea that all press is good press. People who didn't know reddit existed now likely do and they might just check it out to see what the hullabaloo is about. They might not even be internet savvy enough to suspect bot conversations are a real thing.

It's a website that gets paid in traffic, and we're giving people a reason to continue being traffic, and potentially increasing their traffic. We just fed the machine.

The best thing we can do is just stop using it. Making the protests fun is only going to help reddit. They're not negotiating, they've made their decision already, they're not going to back down on it and even if they did some decisions have consequences.
