Please be pedantic. I enjoy it. That isn't sarcasm, I love a good "technically...."

Yes you're right. It is fun to think about tho.

Yes you're right. It's just something I like to think about.

I read this once before and it's one of those facts I find endlessly fascinating. It's simple and obvious why it wasn't normal before recent times...

It just scratches my nerd fact itch I guess.

It's right up there with

  • social security numbers were promised to never be used as essentially your "human number" for things and would only be used for ss benefits

And

  • minimum wage WAS designed and WAS intended to be a livable wage. It very specifically was proposed and made law with the point being it's the lowest wage which a person can support themselves. People saying "minimum wage isn't supposed to be livable wage!" Are wrong.

Oh and

-we see the color that is not absorbed by an object. So essentially we see every color the object ISNT.

The oldest example we have of the "the butler did it" troupe is a compliant of how old and worn out it is

"If you think the point in life is to be happy and live long I can see how you'd be confused"

Not sure where I heard it but I think of it often.

I'm a father and I think of god the same way I think of being a parent. I want my kids to learn things and I want them to return home and tell me about it.

I saw a post in atheism mostly about this. I decided not to post. I don't believe in forcing my views on other people who clearly didn't ask for them.

It's the best system money can buy.

Ill assign one

Man: Baltic wars (you are anti Baltic I don't know what that means but you'll figure it out)

Women: supernatural fanfiction (you are Dean + Castiel)

Other: Titanic (movie, history, or both. Your choice)

Unfortunately my decision is final. Enjoy your new interest

Is that a belly button or a stab wound?

I understand the guillotine comments. Let me you ask you this if I was magic and offered you a choice

You could execute these people and it would be legal

Or you could change the things they did.

Which would you prefer?

It's solid advice to listen to what they say, because they are actually confessing what they want to do.

"If we defind the police people will go around killing everyone they want"

... Uh ... How many people do you WANT to kill? Because my number is 0...

And of course this is another clear example.

"They are trying to creep on young girls"

Uh.... Why do you're state make it legal to touch children's genitals if you're proving their gender and force people to undress for you to use the bathroom????

A more personal one:

"They are forcing their lifestyle on us!!!"

Uh... Is it okay with you guys if I'm asexual?

"No! That asexual means your gay and gay people are child molesters. So stop being asexual"

That cracked me up lol

 

How does the smell affect your life, how do you deal with it, do you have any stories.

Im a trivia nerd and sometimes facts connect in an "oh no" kind of way.

Today the fact of "smell is the strongest scent tied to memory and emotions" hit the fact "pigs are very close in alot of ways to human tissue"

That leads to the "oh no"

Its got to be difficult entering after a terrible fire and smelling food, possibly even remember you nyanas famous pulled pork.

Sorry to be gruesome but that's what I'm asking about.

How do you put that aside? Do you get sick when Nana makes what used to be your childhood favorite?

I couldn't deal with that, the thought alone shook me. How do firefighters deal with that? Do family members change meal plans if you had a bad situation that day? Do some firefighters become vegetarians? Is it something you kinda just get over after a couple times?

 

I'm sure some political talk will be unavoidable but I'd like to keep this dry and to the point if we could.

 

I don't want an AI girlfriend, I just want to think out loud to another person. It helps me think and solve problems on my own. I feel like AI should be perfect for that. However the couple I've seen advertised and tried out... Well they essentially are only programmed to be like:

"Let's change the subject. Maybe this picture will help" blured picture behind a $50 subscription pay wall

And I'm like "no... If I wanted to change the subject I wouldn't be talking about this subject. I'm not at all interested in $50 AI tits."

I have a very low bar of expectations. Even if the AI just responds "wow, that's crazy" to everything that would probably be fine for my needs. More would be better but I do not need lewd pictures and I'm not paying $50 a month lol.

 

I know the obvious of being polite and respectful. do I show up early like an airport? Do I just show the guard my ticket? Anything I should know or be aware of?
