Well guess you have a better excuse than “I tripped and fell in to her”

Wasn’t this a plot point in the movie The Astronauts Wife (1999) with Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron?

You’re good. No worries

Yeah it’s crazy some of the stories I’ve seen about how a guy doesn’t consider his step kids his own even though he’s raised them since birth. Or find out that the kid wasn’t his due to a mix up of infidelity. Or says that he could never love an adopted child “because it’s not his blood running through their veins”.
Im floored too that quite a few guys think this way, and I’ve heard it from their mouths. I’m very much “blood does not a family make”. But these people think you have to have some chromosomal relation to feel a bond.

My favorite is the stupidly hard line around cheating. Shit happens, relationships are complicated, it’s not an ultimate deal/trust breaker. I’ve had it happen to me and I’m still with them and we trust each other. I also realized there were needs of hers I was not fulfilling, so it wasn’t just her fault.
It makes me wonder if these are the same people that couldn’t handle adoption or someone else’s kid because it’s not “theirs”, rather than looking at it that a kid just needs a loving family.
- Comment on Wireless Festival cancelled after Kanye West blocked from coming to UK 1 week ago:
Yup. I’d say they fall under “hate promoters”, I mean they’re trying to genocide an entire population. Leave the Palestinians alone and let them have their land. Not to mention now they’re attacking Syria.

Members of the isreali government makes sense. I don’t think that’s the gotcha you may be thinking.
- Comment on Wireless Festival cancelled after Kanye West blocked from coming to UK 1 week ago:
The sheer fact he was the “headline” to began with was sad.
- Comment on It's open season for refusing AI 1 week ago:
I’m still trying to figure out what the dollar value of tokens actually mean. OpenAI touts “$1800 worth of tokens for a $20 account” and that ultimately people should be spending half their salary in tokens.
But what does $1800 actually mean? Is it perceived work value saying “you can replace $1800 you spend on people hours in tokens”? Or is it how much the infrastructure costs them to run those tokens? If so, they’re running at a major loss.
People throw around those values, but I have yet to see it tied to something with a real world equivalent. It’s 1800 Schrute Bucks for all I can tell.
- Comment on They definitely can't tell, trust me 2 weeks ago:
I’m fine that people want to do it. I’m fine with the results of it. But man, I fucking hate that smell.

Should have made it a new LTSC build.
- Comment on its actually worse bc ports are counted twice for 2.0 & 3.0 3 weeks ago:
Huh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a controller with more than 15 ports anyway. Usually looking through the device manager (or lspci) there are multiple USB controllers on a motherboard (mine has 4 for example) so theoretically you could do 60 ports. Also what can do you about chaining to hubs? Since technically the spec lets to chain up to 127 devices.
But the bigger question is, what in the world are you doing that’s requiring 15 ports.

Hands down the Sovereign class for me too. First time seeing it in First Contact on the big screen was so damn amazing.

Is that the inverse of shitting dick nipples?
- Comment on Is there a reason that all elected (not appointed) officials shouldn't be subject to a recall vote? 4 weeks ago:
Good points. A few thoughts in the interest of discourse.
Because that what terms are for…
But even cars and other things have lemon laws, and bait and switch is illegal. Term shouldn’t be the be all, end all
Elections cost taxpayer money
Valid point there, which is why I was suggesting that there should be a higher barrier to it occurring, not the same level as a vote. Basically it has to be egregious
Changing leadership interrupts things…
Don’t agree with this one. This is the same argument that has kept senators in congress for decades with no term limits. Representative democracy was supposed to be rotational in spirit. Career politicians are an oxymoron. Also the new guy being worse is a bit of a “whataboutism”. A higher barrier to recall would help the constant switching.
… brain damage makes people conservative.
Truth.

Why? If you’re at a business conference the understanding is that you’re networking with people in your field and you may not be able to remember everything about everyone. Why not be armed with information to help drive conversations and interactions.

That last goomba really did a number on him.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 4 weeks ago:
I’ve always been of the opinion that AR glasses could actually be really cool if done right. Imagine being at a conference or mixer and seeing a persons name and part of their LinkedIn pop up next to them, or be at a sporting event and have stats pop up for the specific player, or your own personal instant replay. Or being at an art museum and have history of the art and artist pop up.
But instead, we get it for seritipitous surveillance and feeding the AI slop machine…

Bad phrasing. But that the spread boobs looks ugly or tacky. Not that the person is ugly.
- Comment on Makes you think 🤔 🦵☕️ 5 weeks ago:
I’ve heard a couple girls say the one on the right is ugly. I have yet to see a guy say the same. My SO was one of them and could not understand why I still liked it and thought it looked good.

Isn’t this most horror movies? “Oh I’m going off alone”, “let’s check this really dark and creepy area”, “let’s go find the source of that errie noise!” As that all drop one by one.

Given that he turned it down for Wild Wild West, use that as a basis.

- Comment on misleading cover 1 month ago:
Ouch. Seriously, what was he thinking with that cover. Or the artist for that matter. Should have shopped it out to at least one friend and asked “based on the cover, what do you think this is about?”
I mean the name literally has “The Staff” in it!
