Boy, when that AI bubble pops it’s gonna pop like a nuclear explosion.

Or perhaps, I can’t toggle my AC because I forgot to pay my subscription fee.

I got home about 20 minutes ago. I left the house about 4 hours ago.

Right, with the OP commenting that liberals frequently call them a tankie. And then a thread full of liberals sharing their opinion on the term, pretty damned clearly showing they know what it means. What else do you need?

Here’s a reddit (ugh) thread of (mostly) liberals discussing the term.

It’s not some secret code word.

Well give that another think because you’re wrong. This idea that liberals don’t use the word tankie is so off base and moronic I don’t know where you guys are coming from.

They absolutely use tankie.

I’ve seen liberals call social democrats tankies. It’s been turned into a meaningless term.

41 years old. I generally catch a cold once every couple of years. It will last a couple days to maybe a week if it’s bad. This is about the same as it’s been since I quit smoking 15 years ago. I haven’t noticed any change in injury healing time.

In practice, liberals and anarchists call anyone who defines themselves as a communist a tankie. Liberals will frequently use it for anyone who claims to be any sort of socialist.

I know your country produces some pretty good olympic weightlifters.

Look familiar?

It’s definitely free labour. Even if you don’t mind doing it, it’s still that. As for the rest, I’m sympathetic to your point of view. I have used reviews and occasionally left reviews on products I liked particularly. However, online reviews are so gamed at this point that I don’t think anyone ought to feel pressured to leave a review like they try to do with the emails OP is receiving. It’s one thing to like a product so much you are moved to leave a review. It’s another to be asked for it every time you purchase something.

Good user reviews simulate word of mouth advertising which is the most valuable sort. They want free labour from you to help with that. This would be a great application for a spam filter.

It’s marketing.

I’m not trying to care that much. I work to finance my life outside of work. I don’t think about work when I’m not at work.

There’s no central authority forcing things to be one way or the other, so to the extent that there are differences they are cultural in nature.

This is pretty clear to anyone who has ever played a game of Counterstrike or whatever and a woman makes the mistake of using voice chat. You’ll get the whole gamut from misogynistic nonsense to the most awkward and creepy attempts to hit on them possible, pretty much every time.
