Just do something.

Independence Hall, Philadelphia. Here’s a picture of it now: i.imgur.com/UiDgPkw.jpg

It’s just an artistic variation of the original Independence Hall drawing.

You’re thinking of older US paper currency, which was shades of green for a lot of its history. Over the years they’ve modified it to include other colors and introduced numerous security features, all in an effort to make it very difficult to counterfeit.

Here are a couple of examples of how bills looked when I was young:

Oh I’ve seen colorful foreign currency from around the world and how dull US currency looks in comparison. It would be nice if different denominations used different colors but honestly I rarely use cash these days so it really isn’t important to me.

A lot of places still accept checks here but more and more don’t anymore. However it’s not a problem in most cases though because fewer and fewer people use checks. A lot of young people don’t know how to write a check because it’s basically an unnecessary task anymore.

Oh yeah it’s freakishly rare to see in retail and restaurants. Some older people still write checks to pay their bills these days. My mom does that, but she always uses plastic when she’s at stores, restaurants , etc.

Yes, it even says that toward the end of the article:

According to the researchers, a major source of the technology’s problems with kids and dark-skinned people comes from bias in the data used to train the AI, which contains more adults and light-skinned people.

For fun

Yeah it’s a Lars von Trier film, which are often polarizing. I didn’t like Breaking the Waves but I did like Melancholia, so go figure.

No, it is exactly what it looks like. Even @IranDefense twitter account is a little…bemused by his behavior:

Noted and fixed. Ty.

Not to mention Jay’s pervert movie recommendations.

band_on_the_run OP , 9 months ago

The subreddit can get weird at times too. Like them talking about how sexy Jay and Rich are. Fan culture in general these days is pretty bad. I know I’ll never have to worry about getting famous and having a fandom, but if it ever happened I’d be cautious whenever I meet a fan. Some of them act like you owe them something or they own a piece of you. Ugh.

No, on both of them it says the app itself must have the ability to block users. In other words, the user has the ability to block someone. Since neither app would ever allow a user to have the ability to ban someone completely from the site, the blocking function they are referring to is the blocking function as it exists today.

band_on_the_run , 9 months ago

Damn you! (I’m gonna blame you even though I blocked him too.)

band_on_the_run , 9 months ago

Lol that’s exactly what happened to me. I blocked his dumb ass after that little stunt. Now he’s back. Ugh.

band_on_the_run , 9 months ago

Actually it’s a jackdaw.

band_on_the_run , 9 months ago

I just texted my brother who lives in NYC to visit it before they’re forced to change it lol. I also told him I want a review because I’ve never had German kebabs before. I will follow up with the review and maybe pics later.
