OK but hear me out here, I think I have the beginnings of a business plan:
-
Create the Torment Nexus
-
?
-
Profit
Some components of the plan are still under development, but let’s not lose momentum here. We can advance with the initial phase while brainstorming to refine the plan in real time as we progress. It’s an exciting opportunity and we mustn’t forfeit our first-to-market advantage.

No, this could mean the end of the great advertising war! The corporations want to stick their endless adverts in front of our eyeballs, we want to live without that crap. What this gives us is the possibility of a truce. They let us have internet and TV and operating systems and fridges with no adverts in them. In return, each of us provides one eyeball-equipped consciousness which spends its entire existence trapped in the torment nexus. It’s a reasonable compromise!

This could be exactly the scientific breakthrough we needed. Imagine a future where we all have one of these and it watches ads on your behalf.
- Comment on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office 4 weeks ago:
It’s a pretty huge step to arrest a member of the royal family. They even did it on his birthday, which is just the icing on the cake. In principle he doesn’t deserve to be treated differently from any other pedo rapist, but in practice, I don’t think the police would do a thing like this unless they really, really mean business. It would be too risky for the careers of everyone involved, unless they felt they had a rock solid case and no choice but to proceed with it.

I do hope it has a little speaker that says “don’t worry human, help is on its way” in a cute high pitched voice.
- Comment on Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black? 4 weeks ago:
Pigment (or really anything that absorbs/blocks light) is subtractive color. CMY(K) is commonly used in printing, but you could just as easily use RGB pigments instead.
There’s a reason CMYK is used for printing. How are you going to mix RGB pigments to get yellow? R+G won’t work. That’s because red ink filters out green and blue light, and green ink filters out red and blue light. So mixing the two you get something that filters out a bit of everything but especially blue, ie. brown.
- Comment on When DinoCon is doing more than the US Gov 4 weeks ago:
I’m a bit on the fence here, because the bar is being set at “corresponding with” rather than “associating with”. Perhaps you need to get in touch with some government official or some billionaire to get something done, and someone you know knows a guy who could put you in touch with them, so you send that guy an email. You just corresponded with someone. Would you have done a thorough background check on the middle man before sending an email?
I mean, I don’t know if these cases are like that or not, but corresponding with someone doesn’t in itself imply any kind of affiliation or knowledge about the person you communicate with.

That’s where you’re wrong. The cow is real but you can’t see it because it has 0% opacity. There’s not many “unexplained” events that still don’t make sense when you know there’s a transparent cow out there somewhere

Look, humanoid alien species sending their pedos to earth and dispersing their DNA to create a whole new pedosystem was what got us into this mess in the first place. Haven’t you even seen Alien:Prometheus? We must not repeat the cycle.
- Comment on Lobster feast 1 month ago:
When I was a little kid I went to my grandparents house where they were having some party with a buffet. I ate what I thought was a grape, but in fact it was something I’d never tasted before: an olive. It took me about 30 years to start liking olives, for a very long time they just tasted like rotten grapes.

I used to do that but after a while the washing machine got a buildup of foul gunk that leaves little bits of crap stuck to everything you wash. Apparently an occasional hot wash is needed to keep the machine clean.
