  Wild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sincerely, thanks for being willing to provide a thoughtful response.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tough Shit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Excuse me. I have to go take care of something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon sells girl scout cookies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Always has been.

  Teaches girls to be entrepreneurs so they can grow up and sell Tupperware or Pampered Chef or whatever bullshit is getting hocked about these days.

  Is this a loss meme?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drake⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Best ride of the day.

  Um, this thread. This thread was a ride. Not whatever the thread, um, was about. Damn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And this is the high quality and thoughtful Internet comment I’m going to end my night with. Thank you Internet stranger. There is good in the world, after all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sorry to be a bother...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be awesome for a person with a compatible gender. Like, you are so interesting and attractive I’m willing to expand my horizons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨unzip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Happy, even.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just for a moment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just left the same comment. It was surreal for the few moments you were on the bridge.

  The other thing I remember vividly is the poor guy who ran up to one of the actors who was in full Klingon costume. The guy belted out some phrase in Klingon you know he had been rehearsing for weeks and stood there, proud and expectant. The actor glared down at him and in forceful English said, “I do not speak that dialect, human.”

  I’ve never seen someone’s dreams be shattered so visibly and thoroughly in so short a time.

  I had the opportunity many years ago visit the Star Trek TNG experience in Vegas. There was a point where they rush you through the bridge of NCC-1701D. I had that same feeling in that moment.

  Which was the point of the experience, of course, and I know if I had stayed for more than a quick walk across the deck the sensation would have fallen apart. But in that moment I was in the place I had seen so many times before. It felt familiar and registered as the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choosing violence⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It honestly was the thing that pushed me to Linux. Once I could no longer kill programs at-will I couldn’t handle it. xkill ftw.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon investigates crime in 2096⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Goulash is delicious. But, having the thought of goulash without actually getting to eat goulash would be a terrible way to go. Poor guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine John Hammond actually built Jurassic Park, and HBO made a documentary about it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The amount of time this person spent looking through video to find just the right scenes, then carefully stringing them together, and then adding spot on music… I’m in awe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ballaholic I'm guessing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For my spouse and I there is no “my money” and “their money”. It is all our money.

  If one of us wants to make a big purchase we have a conversation about it something like, “I’ve had my eye on a new graphics card. What do you think?” Then it goes either, “That’s great. Have fun.” Or, “Don’t forget we have little Jimmy’s orthodontist bill coming up.” “Oh, yeah, thanks for reminding me. Maybe later, then.”

  I realize this isn’t the norm and it took us a long time to get there. Many couples, my spouse’s parents among them, argue over money and use it as part of a power play. We still have separate accounts for budgeting purposes, and around the holidays we have to be honest not to peek at bank statements and spoil surprises. But not having to worry whether you spouse is messing up your eventual retirement or little Jimmy’s college fund sure makes life a whole lot easier for me.

  This one image justifies all the research and investment in AI. Well done, OP. I didn’t think it possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too easy!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fucking hell. I am the monkey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You will address Henry by his rightful title of Emperor. Surely, he hath earned it righteously, not pulled it from the ether at the behest of a website.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably its own kind of red flag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's an epidemic⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is one of those memes that divides people. I’m proud to say I’m on the side who guffawed loudly and drew glances from strangers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberfish⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I look forward to your forthcoming book on leadership: “Lead Like You Don’t Give a Shit”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberfish⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Presumably the fish have no idea their leader is a robot… So, maybe it is already happening? How would we know?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's real⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously. Can we stop this ridiculous obsession with “generational” comparisons, please, and the click bait is that goes with it? Let’s instead start learning empathy and stop trying to force fit everything into an arbitrary category. Can we really not, collectively, as a species, grasp nuance and the eternally changing state of everything?

  Probably not, but here’s to hoping.

  Put your salami in that and it’s gonna come out looking like chorizo

  Pure poetry. Your words have convinced me to keep my junk outta exotic fruits.
