How serendipitous! I’m planning a similarly-themed tech embargo! I wasn’t settled on the percentage but 10% seems reasonable and I’m sure I can put AMD into that pie slice.

Yes.

Fascism. They looove the taste of boot leather.

Hydrophobic demons.

Invading very wet plane of existence.

If they were aliens however, they only had tech to suspend their spacecraft in the air, judging from how unsuspended my disbelief was.

This made me think of that “Im a robot” movie starring Fresh prince of Bel-air, when he had that hologram of that guy whose murder he was tryna solve, and it only answered him when he asked the right question. Definitely a tool call.

Also there was an AI in that that drove a bulldozer at fresh prince and made the robots glow red angrily (and also probably had location data accessible it it).

I’m not trying to say that it’s art imitating life or anything because even my elastic definition of art can’t be stretched that far, but it’s sure something!

Sorry, who?

I checked, but the only memorable Kirk I can dredge up from my memory (which is where I store facts about people worth remembering) is that of James Tiberius Kirk, captain of the USS Enterprise.

It very very much does if you understand how that sausage is made.

To the untrained eye though, I feel that.

The Romans devalued their currency too. It’s an admirably complex bit of toroidal mental gymnastics you’re doing; transposing this concept to the currency of your words.

All that happens is more gpus spin up though. Just more waste. It’s indefensible.

Yeah I also don’t notice it if we’re friends. It’s the assumption of familiarity that bugs me/feels disrespectful, I think…

“Bro” or any variation thereof that assumes familiarity where none exists.

The artifice offends.

Bread and circus.

A quick scan reveals I’ve never committed a vehicular homicide, and do not engage in activities that are statistically likely to improve the odds that I will commit a vehicular homicide. I’m fine with with jailing someone who’d risk everyone around them with death and dismemberment for their entertainment.

There is no such thing as an “instinct to drive dangerously”, it’s called “a choice”.

Annnnnd fuck that choice.

Bad AND selfish. In generous quantities.

That’s why all of us Americans can quickly tell when someone is just trying to start shit when they get angry online…

The abysmal state of your union somewhat belies your stated ability to “tell when someone is just trying to start shit”. Someone started shit quite some time ago, friend. They continue to do so and I don’t see any evidence that the body politic is even remotely aware.

I’m just saying the American shit detection algorithm might not be as sophisticated as you’re making it out to be.

“Yes, an electronic brain,” said Frankie, “a simple one would suffice.”

“A simple one!” wailed Arthur.

“Yeah,” said Zaphod with a sudden evil grin, “you’d just have to program it to say What? and I don’t understand and Where’s the tea? Who’d know the difference?”

…and it happened in a vacuum, just all by itself.

Ok but your not speaking to a Chinese, but to a Canadian, so don’t make me laugh any harder than you already have or I’ll need to go see a doctor for free.

Surely you meant “Urine luck”.

A common oversight.
