Ok. FINE it’s expensive! I grant you that this is emblematic of the software/silicon valley industries wasteful attitude toward production. But what is advancement, really?

Doug Stanhope is enlightened, too!

Well. The British don’t think through what will happen when they leave something, and the French seem to think they can just stop whenever they want.

Why do we still persist in Bear-baiting?

Impossible! The Koalas would slip off!

I would tell the hypothetical old guy in my family that his job is dumb and he should learn to duck.

I sat next to the guy who came up with the personalized Xbox controllers.

Huh. These people amp themselves up as much as they possibly can to build muscle, starve themselves. Dehydrate themselves. Take skin thinners. And they do it all for the sake of a panel of judges that will evaluate them against nebulous and impossible ‘perfection’ of physical form. When they act out in rage, they’re…

It’s nice to see the ladies reaching parity. I admire the combination of physical beatdown and car mayhem.

Have you driven one lately?

It depends on what you’re looking for in a society, in general. A cashless society won’t prevent sophisticated private credit. I mean, just because, usually, you trade favors only with friends and don’t keep close score, doesn’t mean we can’t institute the good-old-fashioned way of doing things whenever we want.

Shit runs downhill, apparently.

Hah! hahahahaha Heh. Wow.

Some people see Dave’s work as a load of rubbish about encoding formats, but clever people like me who talk loudly in restaurants see it as a deliberate ambiguity. A plea for understanding in a mechanized ethos.

Like when another AI uses a packet loss trick to jump ahead in the merging queue, and your AI loses its shit, starts flooding the other car’s open ports with garbage data, trying to get root access and force it off the road.

Thanks! I learned something today.

Cool :)

I don’t know. If I was proposing to someone and they just started ignoring me to pose for some shitbird’s selfie, I’d probably yell at them too.

I wish they’d cast that lady from MMA who did a really kickass super-spy movie. Her knowledge of fighting and physique would have been a really good way to communicate the machine aspect. Or even an Asian stunt actress (sorry to bring it up). But ScarJo is fluffy. She’s not hardcore, and it’s weird to see her be this…

Yeah,
