As an excuse to get you out of the house so he can spend time with your mom.

Like, he has a charmander, squirtle, and bulbasaur sitting right fucking there on the table. If it was actually about filling it up, it should have at bare minimum 3 entries in it

It can just sleep(1);

Hard to use, but easy to quilt

It’s actually my headcannon that the 3 wise men were 3 teenagers who accidentally time traveled. They blundered into the scene and felt bad and handed over 2 different scents of axe body spray and a handful of chuck E cheese tokens.

Given thier odd dress and incomprehensible language, they were assumed to be foreign and extremely wealthy. Not having any comprehension of the gifts they concluded they must be gold and exotic perfumes.

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT

Roughly where is that?

They wanna use grok to make thier own Wikipedia, right? Seems like a great arbiter of truth.

If someone wants an AI companion, fine. If it’s a crazy good one, fine.

But it’s strictly predatory for it to be designed to make someone feel like it’s someone else who was a real person, ESPECIALLY someone dealing with that type of grief.

You had to boot the mom out of the painting. There was no ambiguity on that one.

Well, maybe. If thou is for peasants, then the implication the commandments are directed specifically at the non-royal?

I love the hubris of this argument. It’s the identical construction of guys who say a woman must be a lesbian if they reject thier advances.

Ok, fair, but on the hierarchy of pill-providing Muppet doctors, Dr. Teeth is at the top.

My roommate had a butterfly knife in his room and I wanted to play with it. I was drunk and my hands were greasy from eating KFC.

It slipped (more like threw it at the ground) due to incompetence and impairment and greasy KFC hands. I didn’t want it to get mashed on the ground so I used my lighting fast reflexes to catch a knife I just threw. Point first. Into my palm. My greasy drunk palm.

Cleaned up the evidence as best I could. Put it back. Should 100% have gone to get it stitched up, but didn’t, and ended up with some nerve damage and scar tissue crowding some tendons.

I haven’t really retold this story in a long time. As I’m typing this…

Kinda weird to host a themed party to not dress up? Like… generate an asthetic to behold for yourself, but then not actually participate… kinda spoils the effect for others. But not you, I guess.

Steady uptick in trick or treaters over the last 3 years. I think the neighborhood demographic is shifting to having more kids in the area.

We have a pretty large population of new immigrants in the area too, many with kids, and I think they weren’t super familiar with the concept of Halloween when they arrived. I mean… it does sound kinda insane if you didn’t grow up with it.

But I think they’ve realized that yes, it is a real thing… strangers will happily shovel candy at your children when they knock on a door.

Makes me very happy, it’s such a community building event. I was explaining to my newish-to-canada wife that as a kid it’s almost better than Christmas. As fun as Christmas is, as a kid you’re still the passenger. Halloween you actually have some agency… what are you going to dress up as? Who do you want to trick or treat with? What route do you want to take? What candy do you want to barter with your friends afterwards?

What mean? Is just thing alien ant do. Alien Ant wake up. Alien ant eat breakfast. Alien ant farm. Alien ant go bed.

Maybe im misunderstanding:

Are you saying that there necessarily exists for all not extinct species of social mammals a “common-sense-overriding mechanism”?

Honestly I think the guy is just RPing Elon Musk. He dives in with an aloof quip, says everyone else is stupid, alludes to knowing something that “should be obvious”, and then ducks out without elaborating further.

The pattern is so incredibly consistent, im not convinced these aren’t LLM responses.

Keeping anything at any temperature different than whatever it’s interacting with takes energy. Hot or cold.

Audience

I was at a symphony where they were playing a night of video game music (Zelda Mario etc) and the conductor said "you know, some people think video games make people violent "

Some guy from the back yells “WHAT?! We should KILL those people!”
