  I’m not a regular at the doctor’s office yet. Last year I came 10 minutes early and the doctor was on time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hold on!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What happens if a human is deliberately trying to fail the Turing test? Are we better at pretending to be machines than they are pretending to be human?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JeSUS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was there not a passage about how he washed feet or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to make your decesion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s against my morals to use another persons mental anguish for my own amusement, but if she annoys me for years even after I’ve brought it up with Susan from HR I would eventually do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to make your decesion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hannah, because in a few months she won’t be just engaged so she will turn less annoying.

  Also Wallace. I generally don’t mind old people. Maybe I’m getting old myself but stay off my lawn!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choosing pink is chaotic evil?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s only chaotic evil if you use it as such.

  Could work as a televangelist for constipated people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nom nom⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know that you can pronounce the emoticon <3 as less than three and it has for whatever reason replaced the crocodile mnemonic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DID YOU AFFIRM?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, I prefer to be the one supplying the cock in the relationship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A decline in arable land⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not that they don’t have flat ground in Norway, it’s that most of it is vertical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I think my neighbor is hacking into my wifi so he can try to steal my beer wtf should I do?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can use those plastic xmas trees as long as you have enough metal ornaments in them.

  I recommend metal tinsels because they are easier to ground.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used some app that was basically a gui for ssh/scp. Works wonders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨math checks out⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically true If they close the phone line at night.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Its most common use case is interrupting games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The shortcut to activate them is active by default and windows will display a notification when you press shift 5 times (I think) asking you about it. That happens a lot when you play some games.

  Easy enough to turn off the notification though. So not sure what OP is fussing about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They have a regular backup cylinder that has all the vulnerabilities of a regular lock.

  On top of that they have a bunch of electronics that can be vulnerable.

  I can’t see how it would be possible for them to be more secure unless you’re someone who leaves their keys around a lot and a smart lock would let you not have a key on you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Does a Country's Debt Affect its Citizens?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As usual the world is a complex place. But with a focus on simplicity rather than accuracy:

  Responsibly used debt is a useful tool to grow your economy both today and in the future.

  Irresponsible use will buy you something useless today that tomorrow’s tax payer will have to pay for.

  Your government may build a bridge to transport goods from one place to another so business can grow and generate more tax longer and a school to educate the kids and a port to sell your stuff to foreigners. You could do this with taxes but if you are to pay for all of that with taxes you’ll have to raise taxes so much that people can’t afford to live for the 5 years it takes before they get the benefits from your projects.

  Irresponsible use would be building all of this despite there being no need for it or if you take on more government debt to pay for the maintenance cost year after year. (Running a deficit on maintenance cost for a few years during bad economy can be less bad than raising taxes as long as it’s temporary).
