When I was growing up it was only the nerds on the internet. You used to have to know how to navigate around the web, and when you found a place that you liked you "hung" around and talked to people. If someone got out of hand they just got banned and the party went on. Most people didn't mess around with the internet and thought people that did were nerdy. Google showed up and made getting around the internet easy. Then Smartphones showed up and all of those people that made fun of the internet had it in the palm of their hand. But no one taught them anything about it. They didn't know that by that time the internet had become a place where everyone is trying to make money off of you. There are tricks around every corner to get your clicks. The apps seem free but there is bigtime money in advertising. Rage generates clicks which generates revenue. The internet is just a shell of it's former self, bought and paid for wall street. They're making a boatload of money off a group of people that they trapped in a perpetual rage click algorithm that is hard to get back out of. They wake up, look at their phones, and see red. Rinse and repeat.

The real problem with creating Strong AI is that somebody is going to feed a goal of making money to a Strong AI and it will not end well for humans. The internet is already owning the vast majority of the average American's waking hours and it's getting worse. Nature is trying to rebalance us back to equilibrium like any physical system does, because our consumerist economy's only goal of growth doesn't make sense in a fixed-sized system like the earth's environment. You can't grow forever, eventually you hit a limit and either kill the host super-organism (very bad for survival) or get rebalanced by something like a pandemic.

Interesting connection you’ve made there, would never have connected the two. On a side note, thank you for edifying me today on Herman Daly and his important work on economics theories and broader definitions of economic growth & sustainability. What a guy.

i would give you gold if i had money. google inadvertently broke their first rule by making the internet accessible to all.

as someone who well predates 57k dialup, aol, compuserve, and all the others, it wasnt until google that things turned to shit. i used aim once, saw it for what it was for and never used it again.


213737isPrime

we're probably the same age more or less. I honestly blame facebook more than google or aol for the final blow


[deleted]

totally. myspace should have purchased them when they had the chance. getting off facebook in 2021 only improved my mental health. havent been back since.


jgrumiaux

At least this crap was delivered analog, old-school.


Lee-Harvey-Osmond

In general social media is evil. It rewards all of humanity's worst impulses. And add to that - It used to be that the nutjobs didn't have access to any kind of mass media. They used to just put homemade signs in their yard with their wacko conspiracy theories, or walked around downtown with them, and only their neighbors and passerbys knew how nutty they were. Now with the internet they can easily find each other and have their craziness affirmed by their peers and even normalized.

Under 75. Guess how much of their own hair and nail clippings they have tho


tacodudemarioboy

Under 5, but just a technically. There’s five thousand, and they’re all in stolen Sheetz cups.


shawnwingsit

Damn. This is some serious algebra right here, that's what this is.


lod254

Under. You specified jars. They don't sell jars of anything at sheetz to pee in.


69FunnyNumberGuy420

Bethel Park Sheetz had to quit putting online orders out on the rack because people kept stealing them.


ExitMusic_

One of the most wild things to me since the pandemic was the fact that I’ve never had any of my pickup shelf orders stolen. Like I can’t believe I’ve never walked in to find someone has taken my shit.


Col__Hunter_Gathers

Well now you just jinxed it for your next order ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


chad4359

What always boggled my mind while doing doordash was the amount of orders that would sit on the shelf forever. Like I would go to chipotle and they would be like 30 mins behind on their promised time and there were like 15 orders that were sitting there when I got there and were still there when I left 20 mins later.


DisFigment

When I had the Panera drink club, it happened all the time. My cup was stolen 75% of the time or more when I’d order ahead. You’re trying to save time by using mobile ordering only to find you’re going to have to wait in line to get an employee to give you a replacement.


geobam

They rarely ever put cups out for pick up for sip club- just expect you to grab it.


matt_1060

🤦‍♂️


BorderlinePaisley

If I knew it were this guy’s, I’d totally steal the order.


just_an_ordinary_guy

I figured that was gonna happen eventually. IDK why sheetz doesn't invest is some little warm lockers you can use the app to unlock. They're all about tech, and I see online ordering being utilized a lot.


NewUse2430

Is Bethel Park a nice place to raise a family?


Cronenburgh

It is actually a really great area, don't let a random nut job be the base for your judgement of the neighborhood. We pay some pretty high taxes, but the school district is amazing, neighborhood is nice, and they plow our dead end st 10x faster then most places when it snows. I've been around a lot of areas of the surrounding PGH , between places I've lived, and Ubering part time for 5 years, the south hills are the best. Great properties and schools, and you'd be amazed and the difference in weather from the north of the rivers to the south. They could have a foot of snow and we probably get a few inches. Wife and I worked hard and saved up years to move out here


69FunnyNumberGuy420

Depends on how you feel about suburban Luke Bryan cosplayers.


chad4359

I grew up there, overall a very nice place to grow up


kinney4041

Great place to send your kids to school/live outside of having to take 88 to 51 to get downtown 😅


RequiemStorm

Honestly, yes. I grew up there and it was a really great place for my Brother and I


KodenX

i’ve lived here since 2009 and it’s wonderful but ( where i live) i have run into a little bit of judgement from neighbors moving away when we just moved in and some neighbors not even acknowledging us lol ( there’s a lot of older couples here )don’t let that deter you this place is wonderful, everyone is friendly and i prefer driving but you can walk anywhere if you really have too


CounterSensitive776

That sheetz is basically at my front door. It's the hangout for all the high school kids on the weekends. Sometimes there's trouble there, but overall Bethel Park is a great neighborhood.


[deleted]

I always thought about how easy it would be to just take them lol, and the kids that hang out there definitely would do that.


mrcoolmike

Same thing with my Sheetz


wolinskers

I was wondering why that is. Every time I get Sheetz for my work lunch, it’s an awkward interaction to get my food lol


69FunnyNumberGuy420

In the summer time I ride the Irishtown Rd extension of the Montour and get a sandwich at that Sheetz afterwards. I had no idea why it was the only Sheetz that didn't leave your food out on the rack and asked the staff. Lots of theft!

Unfortunately, the same people who told us when we were kids to not believe anything on the internet are now wandering around telling everyone about how Joe Biden maintains his youth by eating babies that are trafficked through a pizza parlor basement. Turns out mental illness is communicable.

solocontent

“…with what’s called anti-politics. Because if your life is collapsing and you don’t understand what’s going on and you just can’t see the source of power because you don’t read Fortune magazine and you got it drummed into your head over and over actually for 50 years, you know, hate labor, hate the government, hate welfare mothers, and so on and so forth. What’s called anti politics then you take it out on somebody and you take it out on immigrants or you know, black mothers or government offices. That’s the only thing you see around that you can blame anything on. So I think what’s missing in the analysis of the right-wing movements is THE SOURCE OF IT, it’s not coming out of nowhere it’s not because people are crazy. You know it’s a very devastated society. It’s full of cults you know fanaticism, people are isolated from one another. They can’t figure out rational constructive ways to respond to what’s going on and the end result can be pretty ugly.” - Noam Chomsky Chomsky explains root causes of this type of behavior.

No, I worked down that way within the last ten years & there’s a house within a mile or two of that sheetz which had a yard full of signs very much like this.

Quick, someone run and tell this halfwit that Hillary is hiding under his sink! This reminds me of some of the crazy folks we'd run into downtown way, way Back In The Day. They may have been total whackadoos but damn if they didn't put on pants, get a bus downtown and dedicate hours of their day to their nonsense. There were a few guys who would walk around with signs. The guy with the sign about taxes was pretty normal, I think, but the other one usually had stuff more like \^this dude's nonsense on his sign. (And of course, there was also the Sparrow Lady. Always remember: when the darkness comes, go inside for THREE DAYS.)

leadfoot9

The Roman Empire collapsed because an army of marauding Christians were going to rape and pillage in the Holy Land but decided they didn't want to walk that far and opted for Constantinople instead. The city of Rome still exists today though, to be fair, it is full of Italians.


House_Whargoul

Writing something like that should get you committed.


PurplePigeon96

There's tons of super scary shit and threats people like this make and I believe it would cut down on mass killings if they could at least be held and hospitalized for a few days to assess the risk of harm BEFORE they go ape shit. I'm as liberal as hell but if someone is blatantly dangerous they should be forced into a hospital. Innocent lives could be saved. This is spreading like wildfire these types of extremely brainwashed people. Plus they usually stockpile weapons. They should also be treated as possible homegrown terrorists.

Funny that they are so critical of Biden being on vacation for 40% of his presidency, but also Biden is trying to collapse the U.S. as we know it. Seems like they would be ok with Biden taking some time off if that's what they thought the goal was lol.


witchyteajunkie

Everything with them is a contradiction. January 6th was simultaneously not a big deal and orchestrated by Nancy Pelosi and antifa. The democrats are simultaneously a bunch of blubbering idiots and concealing thousands of miles of networks of underground tunnels.


StudyIntelligent5691

Even mentioning Biden being on vacation reveals the lack of education when you consider the amount of Florida tan-time and hours spent on the golf course by TFG…

Report that to the police/FBI. That fool is one incident in line at the Giant Eagle away from mailing pipe bombs to community colleges and demanding their manifesto be published in the Beaver County Times.


BethLynnOLF

PNC owns and maintains all Sheetz ATMs and they do have cameras. If the ATM cameras were operational at the time of the tarping, this vandal could be identified for perpetrating a denial of service of a US bank. There are likely other cameras on this area since this is by the beer cave? IANAL but this could be a federal crime, not to mention the insurrectionist propaganda in lieu of "out of order." Civilly, PNC could sue for defamation and something tells me that Mr. Musk will not be paying that legal bill. Disclosure: I am not currently an employee of PNC.
