poisonarena··on Self-checkout machines now ask for tips in latest squeeze on customers
On a visit with my mom to the bay area a few weeks ago, we went into a chain philly cheese sandwich place and after placing our order the guy at the counter directed her to the POS screen to swipe her card and it automatically suggested a 15% tip for the counterperson. I watched the visible uncomfort on her face while she tipped this business out of guilt, all the while my mouth was open wondering where it all went wrong. we had zero interaction with the counter guy beyong saying the order we wanted.

Don't tip anyone! Thats how it spreads

poisonarena··on McDonald's just dropped a brand new Game Boy game

poisonarena··on McDonald's just dropped a brand new Game Boy game
For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

poisonarena··on Cormac McCarthy has died
Because nobody could handle the judge, that, and would take such a particular style of photography to capture the prose. I think mostly because of the complex characters like the judge, and the violence.

poisonarena··on Netflix loses 1M users in Spain over password policing
>been getting lost in shows like Narcos

A Brazilian man speaking mexican spanish as Pablo Escobar, with mexican actors using mexican slang in a show about the colombian drug trade, completely omitting Pablo regularly raped and afterwards executed 13-15 year old girls and other insane stuff.. this was not a popular show in Colombia

Netflix has always been unwatchable crap or woke garbage. Time to unsubscribe and pirate

poisonarena··on AI song featuring fake Drake and Weeknd vocals pulled from streaming services
Lots of Israelis on here I know..

Kan and Aidode(israeli AI music generation startup) made a duet with two dead singers:

Ofra Haza + Zohar Argov https://youtu.be/7ND1Pw6QD_0

got 200k play in a few days, not bad for hebrew only. Very convincing.

Completely lost in non hebrew speaking world (99% of the world), and just as impressive I think.

poisonarena··on AI song featuring fake Drake and Weeknd vocals pulled from streaming services
Do you have anything to back this up?

a few days EARLIER this was released in Israel by KAN (television chanel)..

I know you probably can't speak hebrew but here is a song made (vocals/lyrics/music) by AI, of two dead singers who are very famous in Israel (Zohar Argov and Ofra Haza).. It is convincing

https://youtu.be/7ND1Pw6QD_0

I think if it wasn't in hebrew language(and to be honest, Israeli) it would have been on HackerNews or at least on reddit somewhere.

There is also some really good ones of Curt Cobain. The AI group is a Tel Aviv startup calle Aiode.
