i’ve told it not to change my contractions a thousand times, still can’t remember

I wonder if there’s a parallel universe somewhere where this same HN post has the exact same comments, only the posts are by NNs discussing human test subjects :)

sorry, you don’t know what you’re talking about. as a KDP user, I see every day that it’s 70 percent, so $3.50 for a $5.00 retail price. at a minimum you’re not being clear.
