Wow, and there’s AI in it? Must invest!

Then me and Kyle,
We looked at each-other.
And we each said:
“OK”.

I think if wizards actually existed, they would seldom bother with actual curses; which seem complicated to cast and prone to backfiring. Having shown someone a little magic, they’d be very easy to trick into thinking they’ve been cursed, and the resulting paranoia, anxiety and confirmations bias would do the job. I imagine it’d be some wizard’s favorite trick. They’d gloat about it to their colleagues and they’d laugh together in their secret wizard circles.

So a wizard would need a pretty strong incentive to cast an actual curse.

OpenAI released a generative model that emulates the famous Studio Ghibli art style; or more precisely Hayao Miyazaki’s art style. The latter had once said “I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself” when presented with a proof of concept of AI generated 3D characters, an exchange you can watch here. Now, this specific sentence refers more to the idea of using unnatural movements similar to a disability for creepy shock factor; but he also seems avert to the concept of AI art.

I hear the average small freshwater fish from a Mediterranean island feels nothing but scorn towards the average user.

It’s an expression coined by Corsican Guppy in the mid 2020s, referring to a solution to a Linux/Unix problem that uses a Graphic User Interface, as opposed to one using the command line.

One I like is “Not a snowball’s chance in hell”

The triangle’s where it’s really at ∇ . Hexagons fanboys are always saying “but what about benzene? Obviously only a superior shape must occur naturally like that!”. But hear this, hexagooner: What about ozone? What about water? Also, don’t you know we can make hexagons by grouping triangles ? Heck, you can make any polygon with enough triangles.The only question is why we’d ever want to do that if we already have triangles, because triangles are the best shape. Δ ∇ Δ ∇

Louder!

Isn’t “thin blue line” one of these pro-cop phrases that resurfaced in reaction to BLM? If so, I think fascism might be a part of the problem.

Nah, she’d mentioned some of these things. The logic was just that since the other questions in that test had been about objects in the solar system, I should’ve known it was implied “biggest in the solar system” although it wasn’t written.

I remember a bunch of things in science class in middle school, because I was really into science and it bothered me that they oversimplified everything to the point of being straight up false. Like a definition of “animals” being “something with eyes and a mouth”. I mentioned several examples of animals without eyes, like corals, but the teacher just exasperatedly said that they did have small mouths. Ok, but your definition said eyes and a mouth, not or.

I also remember a question in a test about astronomy being “what is the biggest object”. I thought about it for a moment and then wrote “the universe”; which I’ll maintain to this day, was right. But it was marked wrong. The expected answer was the sun. I talked about it to the teacher, because it wasn’t like I pulled the existence of objects bigger than the sun from my personal knowledge only, we’d explicitly talked about bigger stars and galaxies. But the teacher said "It was implied ‘biggest object in the solar system’ ". Implied how? It definitely wasn’t written. I still want my point back.

Wow, thanks. Mystery solved and to trauma.

I’ve been hearing about it for years, but I’ve always been afraid to look up what it actually was.

I don’t think putting something in a freezer would disinfect it. Stop the microbes from breading while it’s inside, but they start again quickly as soon as it gets out.

I am the Gobglogabgalab; the shwabble-gobble shwivel-shwavle glibbliglaglaglab!

Doesn’t Mexico have a saying like “So far from God and so close to the United States”?

I’d say Florida man wins because they’ve got a Blue Öyster Cult song.

Tbf, Meme Man gets along with Orang since the end of Riddle of the Rocks 2, and even moreso in Coda of the Cosmos. As for the vegetals? They can’t be that big of a deal for a transcendent one.

Wait, is that true? I thought it was just Jews, Muslims and sometimes people who need to do it for medical reasons…
