Because alchol sellers aren't widely considered as flat out evil as cigarette makers, meaning that they can still realistically grease the wheels of power with dump trucks full of money.
I'm sure cigarette makers would love to the do the same thing, but no politician is dumb enough to risk taking "campaign contributions" from people who are widely considered to be the scum of the earth. Alcohol makers still have a level of respectability that lets them get away with it.
Because who cares? It's the content that matters, not how the profile looks of the person who posted it.
I didn't have one on reddit. I don't see the need to have one here. As someone else already mentioned, I barely pay attention to usernames, let alone profile pics. I care about what you're saying. Not what you or your profile look like.
I would love to have that time and money back.
One of the disadvantages of being of an age where you straddle the line between worlds without internet and with, is that you get to enjoy the 20,000 dollars you spent on learning in the 90s suddenly be available for free in the present.
Seriously, there isn't a single thing I learned in my Near Eastern Classical Archaeology degree that I couldn't just go learn from Wikipedia today.
Meh. I haven't been in Uni in over 20 years. But it honestly seems kind of practical to me.
Your first year is usually when you haven't even settled on a major. Intro classes are less about learning and more about finding out if you CAN learn, and if you'll actually like the college experience or drop out after your first year.

Soooo...a sidewalk without the extra pavement?

Press 1 for a glib reply Press 2 for a badly formed pun press 3 for a sincere denial
It's Buzz Hickey. He draws duck comics, but can never quite get the beaks right.
As a freelance writer, I write an article for a respected tech website. That article gets views, which in part determines if I get any sort of a performance bonus.
Along comes an AI that scrapes my content, so that when someone asks it a question about how to do "x" on Mac, it spits out an answer based on what it learned from MY article, sometimes regurgitating it word for word, and in doing so deprives me and my publisher of a much need page view.
It affects their revenue, since it affects ad views. It affects my performance bonus.
This isn't about big tech being "bad". It's about writers and other artists not being credited or paid for their work.
I'm 5'10", 190lbs and I look half his size. There's no way in hell Musk is anywhere south of 250
Very true. I was just comparing corporations to corporations. Craft breweries are certainly not evil; they're the equivalent of local businesses for the most part.
