  Bah! I knew it didn’t look right when I wrote it.

  I believe that’s the origin of the current trend. Typing on a T9 keypad.

  There was a parallel ‘733t sp34k’ trend on bulletin boards around the same time.

  I imagine that they merged to some degree.

  All costs are passed onto customers. That’s how business works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is a multi-purpose tool⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people just want to see the world burn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truly, it was the end of an evangelion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  post-instrumentality fuckery

  It is hard to distinguish that from the pre-instrumentality fuckery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mogged⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably. It does happen.

  Fun fact. Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, orbits the wrong way which means it was gravitationally captured by Neptune at some point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mogged⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Really weird book that one, even for Banks. Tangents or is it Inversions?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mogged⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Both Mars’ moons (Phobos and Deimos) are asteroids. They’re really small.

  “Hydrostatic equilibrium” is the term (I think) for when a body is massive enough for it’s gravity to pull it into a spheroid. E.g. Ceres is about 950km in diameter and is ‘round’.

  But cousin, why a spoon? Why not an axe or a knife?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨free the honey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Specifically Villenueve’s Dune Part 2

  If there’s one thing that Jesus really stressed as virtuous, it was war and murder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any story ripoffs that are actually good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bayyle Beyond the Stars is just Yhe Magnificent Seven in space, which was The Seven Samurai in the west.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fookin Ghosties⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is he the “this ship is… fucked” guy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A name more fitting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tsar/czar and kaiser are derived from caesar.

  I’m going to assume that ‘king’ probably does in some tortuous way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨so cozy 🐟⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not called a bite-ray.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨river-ting stuff⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally someone says what we’ve all just been thinking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honk⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The best kind of correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Secret message in the cemetery⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It has Awful Taste But a great Execution vibes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Being your religions on raving hallucinations seems right in brand.

  BE NOT AFRAID.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐲 mg⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TY. I was going from memory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why am I getting downvoted⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Step 1: stop posting garbage

  There are no other steps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why am I getting downvoted⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or just stop posting garbage!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop downvoting and accusing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I accuse you of being a poorly trained LLM running on a substandard organic substrate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Block ditches 4,000 staff, because AI can do their jobs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right. So, generating training data :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐲 mg⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. Stegosaurus about 250myo, T.Rex 65myo.

  So it’s less anachronistic to have a T.Rex playing an electric guitar than it is to have a Stegosaurus and T.Rex together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Block ditches 4,000 staff, because AI can do their jobs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  WTF are they doing that still needs 6000 people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Apologies. I’d misread your comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a few things that don’t add up in your recollection of events.

  You are being lied to, not necessarily directly by your mother.

  If that’s if going to be a problem to deal with you might want to consider dropping the whole thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He didnt show up until after I had been born.

  That’s a little odd. Is he your biological father?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon enjoys the little things⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No.

  But 9.5/10.
