I never have had to do one of these, and I promise I’m not deliberately trying to ask stupid questions. Would this system be fooled by holding up a mannequin head?

I wonder if they could get more people in there by having tables where you could play Smash Bros. or Red Alert 2 against house players for money. Every game of poker or blackjack I’ve ever played I lost hard and had no fun, but if I could pay a professional to absolutely crush me at Street Fighter, I might be inclined to go into a casino for that kind of treatment.

Homophobes: “We can’t legalize gay marriage! The birth rate would collapse! If men could marry men, then what reasonable man would ever choose to marry a disgusting, weak, woman over a strong, virile, muscular, sweaty, musky, oily, maaaannnnm…”
The rest of us: Dude. Bro. Dude.

unless we have a major nuclear exchange
I was going to say, it really depends on just how hard we go on the “let’s kill everyone” vibe.

Under a blanket. In any weather. I have cold urticaria, where if my skin feels even the slight chill of cool sheets, it assumes I must be under attack and deploys just enough histamines to make me feel itchy and keep me from sleeping. It fucking sucks. I’ve just barely learned to cope with it.

- Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week 1 month ago:
Suppose that at a given moment a certain number of people are engaged in the manufacture of pins. They make as many pins as the world needs, working (say) eight hours a day. Someone makes an invention by which the same number of men can make twice as many pins as before. But the world does not need twice as many pins: pins are already so cheap that hardly any more will be bought at a lower price. In a sensible world everybody concerned in the manufacture of pins would take to working four hours instead of eight, and everything else would go on as before. But in the actual world this would be thought demoralizing. The men still work eight hours, there are too many pins, some employers go bankrupt, and half the men previously concerned in making pins are thrown out of work. There is, in the end, just as much leisure as on the other plan, but half the men are totally idle while half are still overworked. In this way it is insured that the unavoidable leisure shall cause misery all round instead of being a universal source of happiness. Can anything more insane be imagined?

James 5:1-6, NRSV
Come now, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming to you. Your riches have rotted, and your clothes are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure during the last days. Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the righteous one, who does not resist you.

“Mr. Franklin, of what use is this hot air balloon contraption?”
“You can take ladies up in it with a bottle of wine and a blanket and you know, they can’t refuse, because of the implication. Think about it. She’s floating up in the middle of the sky with some dude she barely knows. You know, she looks around, and what does she see? Nothing but open air. 'Ahhhh! There’s nowhere for me to run. What am I gonna do, say ‘no?’”

- Comment on Machetes to be banned from sale in Victoria the wake of Northland Shopping Centre brawl 2 months ago:
I’ve got a relatively small stand of bamboo growing in my backyard and I have no idea how I would control it if I didn’t have a machete. It would take over my whole yard in one or two growing seasons if I didn’t spend some time every spring hacking away at the new growth.

- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 months ago:
Horizon Zero Dawn would have been awesome with a nemesis system, especially if it was applied to the robo-dinosaurs. You could have the in-universe justification that a particular robot uploads its consciousness upon death and downloads into a new body, and now it remembers how you killed it before and it will adapt accordingly. Start having epic robots that know you, and you have to keep an eye out for them, but also upon being destroyed they could dispense better scraps.

- Comment on Original 'Star Wars' Cut Will Be Shown at a Theater for First Time in Decades 3 months ago:
George Lucas is one of a handful of people on the planet where you can accurately say “They ruined my childhood.”
Like, if you’re a massive fan of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but hate the most recent incarnation, you can still go back and watch the original. Lucas has gone out of his way to make that more difficult for Star Wars fans. It’s an impressive level of aggression and back-stabbery for the people who made him wealthy to begin with.
