13/f/ca (just answering the meme to the best of my knowledge, never know when a similar one comes up)

He’s propped up by Peter Thiel which should make people worry, if he was a tiny bit effective…maybe he is and there a big grand scheme at work but I don’t think Maga will rally behind him.

Course I don’t the ins and outs of their opinions beyond racist good and being accepting is bad. I hope the gas prices sink them, as horrible as a tiny thing his stance on things. I’m sure Thiel can afford a new lackey and has some ready to bring up. Hell he probably planned for that, Vance is so bland that he’s probably only there to make a case but not accomplish much.

That’s about my thought if a program became actually sentient then yes turning it off would be awful. Plus obviously the first sentient artificial life form who knows if it’d happen again. I guess it could be debated if it was a simulation and tons were sentient and had no life outside of such.

I still go with my first answer though, any sentient life observed outside natural biology would be a huge thing. I’d still want to give it a limited sandbox to work with so didn’t go all Hal or Deus Ex to achieve some random goal that wasn’t apparent. Least for awhile.

Meh (as a standard gen x answer).

I’m sure in Canada there are some issues with regulating it but can’t say I’ve had more than ‘this doesn’t quite impact me the same as other bud I’ve purchased in % range of thc’ and yeah I know other factors too.

Quite pleasant being able to get bud shipped to your door through postal system, just either have to sign or pick up the package the next day after 1pm if you weren’t home. Plus comes express so usually only a couple business days. It’s relatively safe (depending on format) but you still can get gummies and such to mitigate some health risks. Then you get the bonus of helping through regular taxes, which I know most people don’t like but society has to run somehow. Prices were higher when first introduced then came down as more supply available, though that took a couple years really.

No idea of the comic (mean hadn’t seen it as far as I know) but this joke made me laugh. Reminds me of Perry Bible fellowship which has some of the most odd humour but right up my alley.

When I slept in the room with the ensuite, we didn’t care when we slept. Mean don’t think either of use dropped deuces (#2) close to sleep time there, we also have 2 other toilets so that bls.

Basically my thought is, if someone can smell it less if I pooped elsewhere in the place, do it that spot. Cause I don’t like smelling poop so assume others do not care to either.

Course I have my own issues but still assume that’s a good rule to live by. Man when a date had a curtain over the bathroom doorway and not a solid (well semi solid there mostly empty in the middle) door I couldn’t relieve myself. Mean enough making out maybe I could tinkle but that’s about it.

I manage a bunch of code that has to handle that sort of thing, since no customers have complained I haven’t had to check into it. Now that I’ve typed this I imagine I’ll get an issue next week cause last person who did it wasn’t so great with that stuff. Seems to work so easier to let it be till it doesn’t.

Mostly installed locally but we do have some hosted customers on central servers, either they haven’t noticed issues or it works. I’d put money on the former than latter though.

I just call them Mondays and accept it now, but I’m old. I’m sure others have better luck with their planned dates but if not, just put them on a Monday then you can be like Garfield and hate them too.

Yeah it happens still regardless. Least I still enjoy lasagna.

In very early 2000s my friends and I used to comment on water appearance in games. If I saw Black Flag ocean then I’d have probably shit myself. Really water was a benchmark between us still recall it on the amd 9500

I thought that’s part of the reason we excelled as a species, seeing the patterns to eat or run from and knowing which is which. Plus getting curious about new ones and if they dont eat us figuring out what to do with them.

I won’t say it’s always my thing but sometimes a plain action movie with few cheesy lines is all you’re looking for. Definitely saw enough Chuck Norris in the 80s to confirm that.

Seems odd they’d both end up in the same crappy movie together in that year. May not be remembering movie years well but Urban was least in Star Trek and Bettany in Marvel even if only as a voice but assume the plan was to make him Vision from the start.

Was it entertaining at least? It sounds like it could be a fun watch, in theory…like the synopsis of Red Letter Media’s Best of the Worst movies probably do.

I always get my isp outers as pass through so network is controlled by my entry. I have never bothered doing much with it but it’s nice to have the option.

I used to use a ddwrt firmware for years but eventually my hardware could never keep up with my net speeds and manufacture firmware was faster. Trying an Omada network now seems alright but haven’t added their wifi.

Sometimes I do…most times I’d have preferred better comments but by now I can rewrite it better anyways. So no need for further comments…

It’s on Merriam webster site as a word, what’s your question?

I’m nearing 50 and found it seems I recall about the same of being a kid as I did 20 years ago, but don’t recall 20 years ago as much as I’d think so now. Though yes long term seems better cemented in memory than day to day lately.

Mean if I forgot the kid stuff I wouldn’t realize it cause no one around that would tell me either so…well I’m used to being wrong too.

They want to continue not working in the end. They’re lazy fucking useless. They got lucky with their wealth that’s the end of it maybe a few good investments or a good stock buy but they offer no real investment into our society. They just want to feed off everyone else’s work and that’s no way for society to thrive.

Fuck billionaires and their rich class. Imagine the society without them where we can live off our own futune? If I only, one day.

Today’s society sucks ass, we all ensure the rich survive cause we we let then (okay some have been better for sure)

At some point we have to say no more. The rich are a leech on everyone.

Look at Minneapolis, Trump sent in goons, killed an innocent person blinded another. Is this really the society we want to live in? It’s our society we have numbers let’s fucking act like it at some point.

Can you really let some rich orange douche feel like he has control? The weakest and most thin skinned person alive? Just make fun of him and watch his reaction to being strong.

Definitely one of my favourites somehow didn’t read (well listen) till like 8 years ago, wish I made the effort much sooner but grew up mostly without an Internet or friends to tell me I should check it out…then decades happened. Took me a listen or two to really get it but it’s one of those I pick up on some line I didn’t ponder before that says more than first glance.

Rest of the trilogy is great too I’m hoping the 3rd in the peripheral series will be good.
