  Playing devil’s advocate here, doesn’t this mean somebody is doing what people are calling AI evil for doing?

  Arithmetic. is. hard.

  Here is a black bear, a grizzly, and a polar bear.

  And Marcie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Liquid Trees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is only the second time I’ve seen it, but please… there was a time when complaining about reposts was the most often repeated thing I saw on reddit. Can we not have that bit of irony become a thing here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨May the 4th be with you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This REALLY takes me back to the week Return of the Jedi came out. A woman in my office came strolling back from lunch with her friend who worked in the next bunch of cubicles. As they parted, she finished their Star Wars conversation by saying loudly over the partitions: I haven’t seen it yet, but I heard >! Luke and Leia are brother and sister, and Darth Vader dies but he turns good at the end. !<

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Want happier employees? Start with a 32-hour workweek – and 4 weeks vacation.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No matter how valid the premise is, the headline will have zero impact on anybody who makes business decisions. It should say, “Want More Productive Employees? Start with yada yada…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And thanks to the marvels of the Internet, I watched an episode last night!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t keep up with current shows but here are my favorites from the last 20 years or so, not exactly about “normal” people but they aren’t rich:

  Raising Hope
  Trailer Park Boys
  Malcolm in the Middle
  The Middle
  Brooklyn Nine-Nine
  Buffy the Vampire Slayer
  The New Girl

  Tbh there really are a shit ton more TV shows about normal people than about rich people. Not sure how you are even having trouble finding them. And of course there are always game shows.

  In my 20s I once threw my back out pressing an elevator button.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Relatable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably just an alien foot implant - the injector slips sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Relatable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No I meant the first Monday that has an “R” in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Relatable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had the drink water too hard thing since forever - take a super big gulp, feels like it’s trying to blow your esophagus apart all the way down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be among Native Americans in what is now the Seattle area. To them I would be a gibbering idiot who didn’t even know their language, and they would probably kill me.

  Microsoft Bob has joined the chat, ready to high-five.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤙 hang ten 🤙⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s true, I can’t even put away a million krill before I start feeling full.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is this something only introverts struggle with?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think horning in on those conversations indicates that somebody is an extravert. An introvert might feel qualified and want to help, and/or might see it as an invitation to interact, and (lacking social experience) don’t understand that they’re intruding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are popes always really old?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same reason most CEOs of long-established companies are old. The only young religious leaders are in startup religions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Step 2: Nintendo doesn’t seem to GAF
  Step 3: Trump says he’s open to talking with Nintendo
  Step 4: Nintendo still doesn’t respond
  Step 5: Trump cancels tariff, offers to buy Nintendo CEO lunch

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pens in Space⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The theme is to pretend recently-learned information was available half a century ago, and also to ignorantly inflate its importance. It turns out exposure to graphite dust in large concentrations can cause respiratory problems, but the amount of graphite emitted into the air by pencil use is insignificant, even in zero gravity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pens in Space⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For decades this has been brought up to criticize wasteful spending, inaccurately. Fisher Price didn’t even develop the pen for NASA, it was just a sales gimmick, and NASA didn’t spend thousands of dollars on them. Space flight was getting a lot of publicity back then, so products that related themselves to space were popular, like Space Food Sticks - tootsie-rollish snacks supposedly full of protein and nourishment. To me they tasted too much like raw flour. “Energy” of course was a euphemism for sugar.

  From the WGAF column.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would the USA look like if it had Referrendums/Initiatives on both the Federal and State level?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Politicians would have to work a bit harder to do the bidding of their financial backers while pretending to pay attention to “the people”. But most of them would still do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i can’t tell if this is edginess or mental illness? i hope she’s doing okay⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With such little information my only comment is that sometimes people who feel neglected go for shock value - deliberately saying things they hope will disturb someone enough to pay attention to them. This in turn can have roots that go in all sorts of directions. People are complicated and it’s really pointless to say here’s behavior A, it must have cause B. That’s why you know somebody is ignorant if they try to extrapolate your whole history and personality from an online comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any ongoing series you're watching currently that you're worried will be cancelled or quietly forgotten?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just found a really cool show called Firefly - anybody know when season 2 gonna drop?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨welp, Patreon just destroyed my stable income after a decade on the platform - what now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on what you do I guess. There’s always Kickstarter, or GoFundMe if you want to just outright beg for money. Or an actual startup. Or Etsy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American Truck Simulator is adding a road trip mode where you drive different vehicles, 'say, a powerful pickup or even a sports car'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, according to popular myth it’s really a penis size simulator!
