This is very clearly an example of bad AI, but maybe it was trying (and failing) to convey this?

Basically, 1/3 + 1/9 + 1/27 + 1/81 + … + 1/3^n = 1/2.

Probably not. But maybe.

God, I hate how accurate this is.

They’re not evil, they’re not idiots.

Hard disagree.

But if someone just votes for the other main party to the one I do, who cares?

People who will get hurt by that other party gaining the presidency, or people who care about people getting hurt. Or just people with an ounce of empathy.

None of which seem to apply to you.

Fuck that, and fuck you. They made their bed. Lying in it is the natural consequence.

For me, it’s super easy. My “normal” relationship with Trumpers is one of intense scorn and derision because they’re terrible people that I want nothing to do with. So nothing’s going to change for me.

It’s pretty simple: they willingly sacrificed every last ounce of humanity for a grifter / bully. They’re not coming back. Chasing after the relationship you used to have with them before they decided to embrace virulent hatred is a losing proposition. Sure, you can mourn that lost relationship, but hoping that they’re going to magically see the light and stop being the human equivalent of anal warts is only going to cause you further disappointment and pain.

Or maybe it’s the education system

Considering the guy you responded to doesn’t know the difference between “you’re” and “your”, I’m guessing that’s a bingo.

I mean, that’s basically saying that someone who uses slang isn’t speaking their native language. Poopensharten and cuckstoel might not be explicitly Dutch, but they’re Dutch-ish in an otherwise Dutch sentence.

It’s not? Could’ve fooled Google Translate.

Nobody will ever be able to convince me that Dutch is a serious language developed by people who weren’t just trying to troll both English and German speakers.

Huh - if she’s the mo-cap actor for the main character, I’m really hoping the game gives you the option to perch somewhere, like a bisexual little gargoyle. It’d be a real shame if you couldn’t.

I mean, anything can look like a conspiracy to a layperson who pays zero attention to 60 years of incremental progress and focuses solely on the end result. It’s the same reason why people think vaccines are evil, or that 5G towers cause COVID.

Well that’s not true. You’re very pro-genocide, as long as it’s against Palestinians. That’s pretty political.

It could also be interpreted as a criticism of Libertarianism. The first two pigs didn’t go by any building codes, and instead decided that they wanted to build their shelters out of inferior materials with substandard protections against high winds. The third pig made sure that his dwelling met hurricane standards, and was saved. The story doesn’t go into the reasons why pigs #1 and #2 chose inferior building materials, so it could be interpreted in a number of different ways. It doesn’t HAVE to be about economics. It could just be that pigs #1 and #2 were big fans of Ayn Rand and reaped the whirlwind as a result.

I prefer using higher precision when responding like this. I will often say something like: “137.825%”. Mostly, I do this because it makes the other person feel awkward, and I do it because I constantly feel awkward, and so I just want other people to feel a tiny portion of what it’s like being me.

I mean, everything does happen for a reason. It’s just that most of the time, the reason is “because so-and-so is an asshole”. It makes it essentially a useless platitude, but not an untrue one. I definitely take issue with the implication of it, that there’s some supreme, all-knowing authority in the universe who has this complicated, labyrinthine plan for everyone that involves massive amounts of suffering. That whole “mysterious plan of God” thing is a way for Christians to take credit for all of the good stuff that happens, while downplaying all of the bad stuff that happens as just “part of God’s plan!” It’s insidious.

The US is not a member of the ICC. Their arrest warrant on Putin has fuck all to do with the US. And besides, under no circumstances would the US desire the arrest of Putin. We won’t even allow Zelensky to use US-provided munitions to target Russian airfields; you think we’d risk nuclear retaliation by arresting their president??

I get that you didn’t put much thought into this post, but god damn. That space between your ears isn’t just free real estate.

I would 100% watch a YouTube let’s play about this game.

Vance hates cat ladies because cats are the natural enemies of couches.

God, imagine living in a retirement community that has a Hot Topic.
