- Comment on Have you ever realized just how broken you are? 4 months ago:
Discouraging and shitting on a repressed person is definitely the way to go. Good job! You’re nothing like OPs dad!
- Comment on Let them know what they are missing! 4 months ago:
I don’t care if this is a joke or 100% serious. I’m nauseous either way.
- Comment on Quick Chat 4 months ago:
This sounds fascinating. I would totally invite them in.
It also reminds me of a horror story I read that had been written before heavier-than-air flight became possible, but seemed within reach. The story had been written just a few years before the Wright brothers success at Kitty Hawk.
The author imagined ferocious jellyfish-like creatures that lived in the upper atmosphere, and kept themselves aloft with gas-filled bodies. Interesting idea.
- Comment on AI works better if you ask it to be a Star Trek character 4 months ago:
I, too, write articles about image, then include a potato-quality image as an example.
- Comment on Bryony Page 4 months ago:
Ah. Demonstrate understanding. Thank you. That makes sense! I wasn’t trying to be obstinate. I just didn’t get it.
- Comment on Anon drinks milk 4 months ago:
Good question. I think I’d just avoid eye contact and laugh with my friends about it later.
- Comment on Anon drinks milk 4 months ago:
I can’t help but wonder if they were laughing at something besides the milk. Were they wearing a Sailor Moon outfit, complete with wig?
- Comment on Bryony Page 4 months ago:
I sorta get it, but stuff like that can only tell you so much. It’s an awful lot of hypothesizing and guesswork - so much that I’m surprised you can make a dissertation out of it.
Then again, I’ve never had to write a dissertation, so I don’t know what’s involved.
- Comment on Bryony Page 4 months ago:
How do you write a dissertation on acoustic signaling for creatures that have been extinct for millions of years? It’s all untested theory on top of untested theory.

A disgusting candidate deserves a disgusting base.
- Comment on Jonathan Majors ‘Heartbroken’ Over Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom Replacing Kang in Next ‘Avengers’ Films; He’d Still Return to MCU ‘If That’s What Marvel Wants’ 4 months ago:
I never got very excited about Kang, really. I didn’t really think there was any point in trying to beat Thanos in the “intergalactic superbeing” department (apologies to any comic fans who are having a heart attack right now). But… RDJ as an embittered, previously normal human who’s king of his own country? Yes, please! I will watch the hell out of that!
- Comment on Trump Questions Harris’s Racial Identity, Saying She Only ‘Became Black’ Recently 4 months ago:
I’m sure this will go over well and have no negative repercussions at all.
- Comment on Stretching 4 months ago:
I don’t know, but I guarantee they’ve at least tried.
- Comment on I grew up in the era of Photoshop and people would post fake nudes. Why is it now a big deal that AI is doing it? Kinda like the Taylor Swift thing on twitter. 4 months ago:
If it’s a game of whack-your-hog, however, deepfakes aren’t futile at all.
- Comment on ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) The Sims 4 just got surprise incest, and it's not even the first time 4 months ago:
…now you shouldn’t get any more bombshell texts from extended family, in the game at least.
lol
- Comment on Applied for a job and was asked to do a live interview. But all I get is this. 4 months ago:
That’s cold.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
My sympathies. Ignorance, especially willful ignorance, can be absolutely exhausting to deal with.
Don’t focus on that. Just remember that Friday is probably the last time you’ll see him alive. Try to steer the conversation towards pleasant memories. Make the conversation about his life, not current events. Ask him about his childhood, his first car, how he met your grandmother; stuff like that. People like to talk about themselves. Plus, it’ll keep the conversation away from politics.You might even learn some interesting family history!

Goddammit. This is like getting rickrolled.
- Comment on Hogs 4 months ago:
Yet the Great Lakes remain barren. Possible source of hog repellent?
- Comment on Could President Biden fully legalize cannabis before he leaves office? 4 months ago:
Well, you have to take into account that Biden has been looking to be re-elected for a second term. It’ll be interesting to see how he handles things now that he doesn’t have that concern. I’m looking forward to it, actually.

“Fun fact: the Sun is extremely powerful.”
Bahahahaha! I like this guy.
- Comment on Anon has an itch 5 months ago:
I’ve seen a lot of gross shit from Anon over the years, but this is among the worst.
- Comment on Children is bugs 5 months ago:
The same reason a lot of people do: because it sounds nice. Plus, maybe flowers were what the cicada was named after. When someone discovers a species, they usually get a decent amount of leeway when naming it.
- Comment on Children is bugs 5 months ago:
He should show her this. The fact that it means “flowers” in Swahili might help. It won’t solve the trust issues, but it’s better than nothing.

lol that works, too!

I’d love to know what happened next. I’m sure it was a hoot.
- Comment on Photographers Push Back on Facebook's 'Made with AI' Labels Triggered by Adobe Metadata. Do you agree “‘AI was used in this image’ is completely different than ‘Made with AI’”? 5 months ago:
The analogy is exaggerated to the point where it implies a false sense of urgency. A peanut allergy can be deadly. The method used to edit an image cannot.
Someone is trivializing death just so they can make a point on the internet. That’s the part that irritates me. It’s like dragging politics into it Just let people have a serious discussion without taking things to a ridiculous extreme.
- Comment on Photographers Push Back on Facebook's 'Made with AI' Labels Triggered by Adobe Metadata. Do you agree “‘AI was used in this image’ is completely different than ‘Made with AI’”? 5 months ago:
That person who makes the peanut analogy needs a slap in the head.
- Comment on Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? 5 months ago:
If I recall correctly, some states even had laws against black people raising animals like cows (and maybe pigs too?), so chickens were their only option.
