Anindo MahmudUsing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> to create a Ghibli-style art of yourself, while extremely harmless, is an absolute disservice to Hayao Miyazaki, the founder of Studio Ghibli.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HayaoMiyazaki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HayaoMiyazaki</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ghibli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ghibli</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/StudioGhibli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StudioGhibli</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenAI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RipOff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RipOff</a>

C.<a href="https://mastodon.social/@allanb" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@allanb</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@Impish4249" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Impish4249</a> Phone companies in general are pretty famous for charging extra for absolutely anything they can get away with. It was worse forty years ago, when many things people today assume are an essential part of the basic service were optional add-ons.Monopolies didn't help, either. For example, I had a girlfriend who lived *just* outside of my local calling area, in a town about 65 kilometers / 40 miles away. It was in the same province, so the phone company had a monopoly on calls from her to me, or me to her. If I waited until after midnight, the rates were 60% off, so it would only cost me about $0.32 *per minute* to call her. During the day, it was $0.78 per minute.This was at a time when the minimum wage was $4.25 per hour. So working for an hour meant I could call her for five minutes during the day - without accounting for income tax eating some of it.In comparison, they didn't have a monopoly on calls to or from places outside the province. So I could call L.A., thousands of kilometers away, for about $0.25 per minute during the day.<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ripoff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ripoff</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/phone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#phone</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/LongDistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LongDistance</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/monopoly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#monopoly</a>

MactonexOnce again I am reminded what a monumental ripoff uk service station food is. £4.99 for a soggy looking chicken wrap. It’s not like it’s difficult and expensive to get the stuff here - it’s on the fucking M1. <a href="https://toot.community/tags/motorway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#motorway</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/serviceStation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#serviceStation</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/RipOff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RipOff</a>

SueDiOh<a href="https://mas.to/@serpicojam" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@serpicojam</a> What a bunch of crap. My eggs are up about $2/dozen or about 17 cents per egg. None of these places buy eggs a dozen at a time, so their increased cost per egg is probably less than 1 cent.
