    What accusations am I making? Pretending that you can read someone’s mind is pretty dishonest as well.

    Why would you not instead use your skills to "get people into" reading books that have actual verifiable truth, that advance their knowledge about the world, that educate them abou…

    I guess I’ll just keep flagging every single Twitter link on this site. I hope that some day the community here will grow a spine.

    That was only one of the differences mentioned; the others were on the cartridge itself and included a different sticker on the back and different manufacturing codes.

    Ah yes, because a probabilistic text generator should be trusted to appraise a rare collectible that wasn't even known to exist as of the time it was trained.

    This is one of the many reasons why I replied "100% disagree" when you originally wrote "if someone writes a detailed reply, replying ‘no’ is rude." I wasn't even sure why you wrot…

    > no > If someone writes a detailed reply, replying ‘no’ is rude. You’re an amazing caricature of an internet commenter.

    Agreed. Devin Wenig (the aforementioned CEO) is a thug and criminal who should be in prison. His statements about this incident are laughable; he claimed in a statement recently th…

    OK. I wouldn't call this rude, much less "incredibly rude," perhaps the word I'd use is "blunt." But whatever. I continue to wish there was a "block this user" feature on this site…
