Nuance was a pre-3rd millennium luxury

(Again, this is why I emphasize the info vs. understanding bit. AI will never "know" in the sense of intellection; it's a difference of quality, not kind)

For things involving method (STEM, very rule bound topics), it can work; for instance, I plug my Greek notes and exams in it to make sure all accents are correct (saves me time).

Things involving the personal? Ain't no method for that; gotta use prudence, and no machine can develop that

It's also disheartening to see how many people fought it at first, but eventually caved in. Never shall I ever do drugs to "just one bump"...

I presume I ought use a gnomic aorist to make sure they know this ain't a passing thing?

49.8 is mean glare territory; 49.5 is wait and see; 49 is a time of mourning, no time to add insult to injury (real empaths would get it)

According to AI, it's both!
(it only used fifteen em dashes to get me there, too)

(have to get this out of my system twice a year, like going to the dentist or hurling paint cans at the human sized guinea pig that tries to take my home)

if you hold that an AI "knows", you either baptize its capacity for rationality (elevate it) or treat human understanding as something Humean (reduce us)

I don't care if we learn it with analytic philosophy, continental philosophy, Aristotle, RuPaul...our society /has/ to put in more time understanding the distinctions between:
i) humans and things and
ii) presentation of data and understanding/knowledge

Standing silently behind the auto shop, impatiently waiting for some weird guy to come from the sky and say "taste the rainbow" and/or turn your best man into an Old Spice deodorant stick, "hunter gather" flavoured

The Old Testament plague never disappeared; it simply evolved

(one of the better 2010s comedy tropes, now sadly overplayed: a group of hideous, confused 40s+ men dressed in khakis and gathered for seemingly no reason)

In another life, Homan would've made a wonderful Tim and Eric character

I've (regrettably) listened to a couple of his "speeches", and he seems like a completely lopsided dude: got promoted for efficiency, but utterly unsuited for the weird pony shows Trump demands.
Platonic form of "bad in school and picked on, now taking it out on others"

How I am explaining Vatican II to my kids

This the most threatening coupon I have ever encountered...
"You do not know the time and place, mortal, when you will be called upon to purchase and enjoy PASTA"

New Wave started earlier than I thought

I meant bobsleigh, but I like the gamble of luge even more

Luge would interest me if one of the four suited participants is secretly a very grumpy baboon, desirous of destroying if not eating his teammates

Personally, I think you could change ANY baby on it

thank you all for blessing the timeline today with minimal doom.

In gratitude, Mr. SAKAMOTO will be blessing you with a complimentary gift; do not mind his tendency to linger and whisper "domo"

I think it reasonable to be weary of willfully courting the demonic (esp. with a theological understanding of what's up).

That said, I'd presume the intent and ritual are more problematic than a mere object used in the process. It's mainly a spooky toy that unnerves Victorian mores

I know I could make a beverage better than Pepsi...
but I'm really committed to calling it "yum yum gulp beverage, a christian liquid"; my peepaw asked me to do so in a legally binding will

I don't know if this is better or worse; gonna stick to rickshaws for now

Kinda like vaporwave for those of us born before the Berlin Wall fell

Need an ontological ranking of all kinds of "slop"

French resources welcome, German discouraged

The greek goddesses would NOT have annihilated me. I am good at creaming butter and have a "knowing side eye".

The gods, however? Good question. Hephaestus is mad at me because I never returned his tongs, but he won't respond in the Lads Chat. We both still use the time share, though :)

It's aged so very, very well
(I've been going back myself, and much more 2000s music has aged better than I expected)
