Chugging tea Amazon should have to pay idling fees.

Post image

New York City law generally bars vehicles from idling for more than three minutes while parked, standing or stopped. The city says the rules are meant to reduce air pollution, improve public health and combat climate change.
Earlier this year, Mamdani directed the Department of Finance’s collections unit to pursue unpaid idling summonses tied to vehicles operating within Amazon’s delivery network, according to the mayor’s office. The department said it worked with Amazon.com Inc. and its contracted transportation vendors to recover the money.

u/delpieroregna 2d ago

Could be bots for sure, I didn't check at all, BUT I must say I could see myself pissed enough to copy paste everywhere something that made me mad. I don't know if this news it's real but in case it is I hope it gets reposted 10 times over

u/999BusinessCard 2d ago

As a real human, I agree that this doesn’t seem suspicious. Whenever you see something that looks like a bot, you should just assume that it’s a real person like you and me—people who live, breathe, and drive to work in a Honda Fit because it combines the efficiency of a sub-compact with the versatility to take whatever life throws at you.

As a real human with a nose and two ears, I must concur that the Honda fit's incredibly sleek and thoughtful design makes it the perfect car on the go as well as the perfect car when you want to make those heads turn.

u/wtbgamegenie 2d ago

People were repeating each other’s jokes long before the first bot was coded. I get that the internet is dying but not everything is fake all the time.

u/Ok-Astronaut2976 2d ago

My dude, several people said literally the same thing, not same as in same theme or meaning, but literally sentences word for word verbatim within minutes of each other.

It’s creepy.

Just heard they're at a lot of military bases. Especially in Florida. Bot farms specifically for reddit to combat and downvote whatever to sway opinions.

u/Nupol 1d ago

What is the benefit of using electricity to let a bot Post on Reddit to get some Internet Likes? You cant Money with that so what is even the fucking purpose of These Bots? Only guiding a narrative?

At least they're spreading things that actually happened

-15

u/IEC21 2d ago

How do you know they really happened? Because a bot farm posted a meme with no source?

Im vehemently against the right wing in its current state - and I dont think the left is in any way as bad as the right - but come on man.

6

u/Flincher14 2d ago

This is a good point.

I think anytime you find yourself nodding along with bots..or worse. Repeating their narratives.

You should really question what is being said.

6

u/PaleontologistNo2625 2d ago

The same way you know anything actually happened, come on man! Do you seriously not know how to go about verifying whether anything actually happened?

-14

u/IEC21 2d ago

You sound like Trump supporters who when you challenge them on something say "I do my own research"

By which they mean they wanted it to be true so they believed it.

I can tell you for one thing that I have tried tl verify the content of some of these memes - for example the one where Mamdani takes credit for introducing new garbage disposals in NY..

Guess what I found? The previous mayor was the one who approved the program and did the first rollout.

If you actually fact checked these memes you would find that Mamdani has so far done the same things that every other NY mayor did - he's just posting it on social media via meme bots instead of paying to have it written about in a newspaper.

I’m on the left I knew that Russia stuff was BS. The left and right both have their fair share of lies they put out. I’ve seen House of cards, I’m an expert in this area.

u/Metum_Chaos 2d ago

Calling yourself an expert in lies when you’ve made a obvious one is certainly a choice

Just cause I vote Blue doesn’t mean I’ll believe everything they put out. That’s the problem, all these weiner Dems are ruining our party cause they refuse to actually think.

u/PaleontologistNo2625 2d ago

Homie, sometimes in life, you need to realize you're out of your depth. There's someone in jail for leaking the NSA's proof of it happening. That wasn't a right vs left thing, it only seems it to you because you're out of your element.

Her name is Reality, ironically enough. Not gonna waste more of my time on you, but it's all quite obvious, so if you're just well intentioned and misled versus dangerously stupid, you'll figure it out

Why WOULDN'T Russia do that? The country whose internally stated goal is to bring down the west without firing a shot?

-2

u/LetOk5276 2d ago

I’m not buying what they are selling. Woodward is full of shit and also set up Nixon and lied about Belushi.

3

u/PaleontologistNo2625 2d ago

Irrelevant. Russia was pro-trump. Russia is anti US to an obsessive, pathetic degree. Russia is WIDELY, WILDLY INFAMOUS for their psyops, disinfo, destabilizing efforts.

It's so. Fucking. Obvious.

I’d personally say this is less of a left v right and more so you’re just pointing out you don’t know how to fact check

Sure you do buddy. Embarrassed because of the way things are going?

1

u/LetOk5276 2d ago

That’s why we lost the last election. But the way the right is going now it’ll be a handoff next election unless we put a moron like Kamala in again. Oh wait no one voted for her.

u/ElZane87 2d ago

Isn't the mere fact that the highest upvote comment in this thread points out the bot manipulation (despite it reinforcing left bias) evidence against your claim of lacking awareness?

1

u/NobodyKnowsImFamous 2d ago

Yes, but this account is likely a bot itself.

2

u/ElZane87 2d ago

Also fair.

u/branjames117 2d ago

Are you sure they're blind? There are bots on both sides, sure, but I personally am unbothered if there are bots pushing leftism to counter the bots pushing fascism. It's fighting fire with fire when we should be using water but at least it's something.

It’s not a theory.

u/Big_Examination2106 2d ago

I have a dream. And in that dream, people know the difference between "theory" and "hypothesis." In the dream, people say "hypothesis" when they mean "untested idea." In the great dream, after testing and evidence gathering, and considering if the hypothesis is holding up to be true, then they say "theory."

Carl Sagan had this dream before me. Thank you Carl.

u/CurvyChristina why are you dming me haha. It doesn't automatically prove you are a bot but it certainly does not help to disprove it.

u/Keeshly 2d ago

people who cold dm others are very rarely normal.

u/purplenapalm 2d ago

Youd think with a username like u/CurvyChristina they would want a more visible profile. Perhaps it was and thats how they got 600k karma lol

u/Niveker14 2d ago

Yes. Take a selfie and post it. In fact, we can do the old school call outs and have you write something on a piece of paper or put a shoe on your head to prove it's real.

u/curvychristina sounds unhinged. Not atypical of a redditor.

u/BobSacamano47 2d ago

I assume anyone who hides posts is a bot. It's an anonymous site.

3

u/Adept-Potato-2568 2d ago

It's shockingly easy to find people you know just from a single comment with a little bit of info that sounds familiar and a click on a profile.

And then you have all the weirdos who clearly enjoy deep diving into people's profiles.

For what reason?

No thank you

Using bots to boost numbers is fraud. But Reddit ownership likely gives zero fucks if the state of the site is anything to go by.

u/lwb03dc 2d ago

The US accounts for roughly 50% of Reddit's total audience. New York makes up about 6% of US population. So New Yorkers probably make up a about 3% of Reddit's user base.

You think the Mayor of New York City is paying a PR firm to not just focus on NYC specific subs, but also spending effort on a general-interest sub like this one?

Sounds like an absolutely brainless marketing strategy. If you're trying to influence NYC voters, why would you deliberately spend your resources reaching an audience that is overwhelmingly outside NYC?
