I would trust an 'ai' that had been designed from the ground up to do well in the stock market, just like I would trust an 'ai' that's been designed from the ground up to drive trains. Idiots who think an llm is an ai in anything but spitting out what seems like reasonable answers/responses to your inputs are, well, idiots.

In a sense of understanding the wife's perspective, proximity is just as important as the other major factors that affect how likely a relationship is to begin. There was a cool study of college students who lived in an apartment style building that showed you were most likely to begin a relationship with the person who had a door immediately next to yours. The only exception to that was for the person who had a door immediately next to the mailboxes. Proximity matters because it lets another person see you enough to form opinions based on a lot of interactions, and we all know someone who 'shines' despite their physical looks.

Plot twist: new neighbor was wearing a shirt that read, "I <3 dad bods," and was already flirting (asking for help moving boxes /eyeroll) with the guy in sweatpants.

Oh god, just looking at that hurts my soul.

Booing is pretty tame and lame, honestly.

I'm going to need more proof than a tumblr shitpost. There's no way you're going to groom someone who wants to be masculine into being feminine, ala femboys, and especially not to offer themselves to the others.

I must not be that old, I don't see the memes of my generation. Philosoraptor will never be old.

That was a fake, just so you're aware. Still hilarious as a meme.

Now that's an asshole move.

I'd much rather it be a giant crowding shouting "child rapist" while throwing anything they could get their hands on at him.

I didn't get high, I didn't get laid... goddamn, how much of life did I miss?

I always thought expats had to live in little expat communities, keeping themselves aloof from the rest of the population. It's a level of snobbery beyond even still caring where you're originally from. That was my understanding from all the little compounds I saw in the global south.

The propaganda is so strong with this one. If you talk to someone who owns just about anything, they somehow imagine you're coming after them and their stuff if you even mention anything like taxing the rich, much less getting rid of people who own more than some entire counties.

Ugh. I fought stages so hard in kerbal, that everyone I showed my rockets to recoiled in disgust. It's not my fault, guys! I have a pathological repulsion of 'wasting' items!

This is why everything is a little shit to me. I'm just getting all of them in one combined s/h/it word.

The cop will have one more piece of evidence to arrest you on. No dwi is made solely on you failing a single test, the judge would laugh their ass off for that. But when you tell one, "he was swerving across multiple lanes, smelled of alcoholic beverages, couldn't say the alphabet starting at e and ending at t, had XXX nystagmus (there's like three types they check for), did PZY clues on the walk and turn test, and admitted he had been at the bar an 'hour or so ago,'" they suddenly have a very different conception of what failing to remember the alphabet means.

Remember, don't answer any questions on a traffic stop, kiddos. It's always shut the fuck up friday. ALSO, fuck people who drive drunk, but mostly don't give cops the time of day if they ask, much less any other info.

Dead? Off the top of my head, the chocolate tube (eustace?) got fished out before he got diced up, blueberry chick (veruca?) was squeezed out and just became blue-skinned, television kid (yeah... no clue on the name) got stretched to being super tall and had a great career in basketball, and the spoiled gal (no clue on her name either) and her parents are covered in garbage. When charlie and wonka are flying off at the end (of the book), they see all four of the others exiting the grounds. Maybe in the movie it's a little more ambiguous about the garbage girl, but the others all clearly survived and were going to be taken care of.

Okay, but blowing on a sail to go faster is actually a thing. Mythbusters even stated that they did their experiment in the worst method (i.e., not using modern designs and methods), and still found that a fan on a sail could make it move. It's not free energy, but let's not ignore how cool sails are.

It's texas. He'll probably get a medal or something from his local law enforcement and a round of talk shows on fox if the colors line up with what fox likes/doesn't like.

This is the same university that got rid of a president after uproar from alumni because the president was... hispanic! OMG! The horror1!!1!11

nO, NO, I remember this from physics. Energy is only used to move things up and down. Side to side doesn't count. So as long as the owl stays at the same height on the tree it launched from, it can go as far as it needs to.
