Escalate to management as quickly as possible so you're not just annoying some poor front desk worker that had nothing to do with it.

I can't believe a random technical error would design and deploy a Black Friday popup ad right at the time of year where it would be relevant.

The machines are going too far, we need to shut them down.

Man, Microsoft really is just smelling the blood in the water and going on the attack.

I'm wondering if they're aiming to bankrupt OpenAI and rob their talent, then buy the assets they've created for pennies on the dollar instead of spending half a billion training their own GPT4

Fortunately, they at least aren't deleting accounts with YouTube videos "at this time"

I still backed up the videos from a deceased friend's channel just in case- but I'm glad his content will still be there.

She would probably be touched if you asked her. I say go for it.

Also the average length of car ownership before buying something else is about 5 years, but the average loan duration for a new car is 7 years.

The car market in the US is just screwed.

The RIAA's lawyers will be there to take that bird for everything it has.

It's possible that she looked up information about cutting down on drinking, and because you're connected in the ad network system, you also got ads from it. They like to learn who is connected to who and target ads that way. Facebook is, as you might predict, one of the most notorious.

That's correct, you can insult someone accidentally while complimenting them in a similar way. The particles は (as in wa) and が (ga) have different connotations that can simply different things.

So saying メリーさんの顔はきれい (Mary-san no kao wa kirei, "Mary has a beautiful face") causes an implication that Mary has a beautiful face, (... But nothing else about her is beautiful). Changing the は for が makes the statement come across as intended.

Without going into detail on the whole wa vs ga thing, wa is more like "as for x..." which can imply a "but..." at the end, whether stated or not, which causes this effect.
