This article is fucking gold.

For nearly all of its history, the restaurant was open 24 hours a day, and it attracted customers who came from bars and night clubs in the area. The restaurant’s floor was often dirty, and people formed crowds rather than lines at the registers.

Customers witnessed drug use and sexual acts in a long, narrow hallway to the bathrooms dubbed “The Hallway to Hell” and isolated from the rest of the restaurant.

The restaurant was a site of frequent stabbings, drug use, liquor licence violations, violent attacks, sexual assaults, and many other criminal acts

“The video begins in the middle of the chaos, with young men punching, kicking, choking, and knocking or dragging each other to the ground as onlookers shout and jeer”. Shortly after the start of the fight, a man appears on screen and can be seen pulling out a baby raccoon from his sweater. The man waves the raccoon around casually as a cigarette droops from his mouth.

Other viral videos of unusual altercations were filmed at the restaurant, such as customers beating each other with “Wet Floor” signs

"In fact, even as I draft this letter, another individual is recovering from a stabbing that occurred at that address yesterday.

In 2024, a Cantonese restaurant named 99 VIP Seafood signed a lease and became the location’s next tenant.[14] It opened in September 2025 and closed in March 2026.[15][16] McDonald’s Canada is open to reopening in downtown Ottawa, the CEO said in November 2024

I can read tabs or my own preferred similar notation system. I can’t “sight read”.

I get an understanding of the mood emphasis of the notes. I can also corrolate which part goes with what the music sounds like…

Yes we all understand that.

I had no fucking idea

I assure you that electricity was going to be wasted on some dumb fuck thing anyway.

the problems with AI can be easily mitigated, they just aren’t for various reasons.

You can have an AI trained on public domain content, running on electricity from renewable sources and locally hosted. What’s the problem then?

I mean, there are art pieces(the urinal) and movements (found object) based around that. Books written about it. (the design of everyday things)

I’ve written this in a pro-ai art way before, but when you get feelings from seeing natural landscapes, who is the artist?

If you find an expression in an everyday event or object, good on you.

Yes.

Bots are permissable to grow communities that could do with boosting engagement by posting relevant news , but for a community based on asking questions by people won’t be improved by that kind of post

… my wife had to warn me not to put linux on certain computers.

With Gnome-boxes, I can safely shove random versions of linux on MY computer without hurting anyone else!

yep. One of the reasons I stick to debian based (vanilla Deb) is so that any dumbass tutorial works for me, because I am not smart.

If ind it quite funny that the majority of the posts are about the text editor and not about the blatant hitchhiker’s guide reference to the point where I had to specify it in the OP and then the thread exploded after that point.

Oh, you mean layout and decoration, and not music?..
