I think this one is interesting because it seems rare for the Far Side characters to actually acknowledge the absurd element like that.

Huh. Today I learned that it’s not just English slang. It’s from the language of the planet Ork.

Nevermind, I misread it and thought this was an AI directive thing you place on the server saying ‘don’t hack me bro’ - which I think would actually work because LLMs are that gullible.

Probably the dumbest part of this is that because of how LLMs work, the stern warning is likely highly effective.

Misread client side as server side, thought this was an AI directive doc thing.

(answering as though I were single of course)

I would date them if I found them attractive (which implies more femme than not) and if they have a vagina, regardless of whether they always have.

Textra doesn’t mention RCS. And I have no idea what the deal is with the first one, it’s ‘not available in my country’. I’m inclined to think either it’s lying and just means MMS or it’s tied to a specific carrier and talks directly to their servers, like the old Verizon messages app which did RCS that way.

Y/Ask Later

“We sent a letter to the US address you applied with, but didn’t receive a response”

As far as I can tell that’s still impossible, so they are just lying or it’s a different RCS (like retail custom solutions). Also that search shows SMS apps that don’t mention RCS.

Perhaps fanatic.

What about convection? There’s been at least some mixing, right? So I’d guess the average age of a nucleus from the core (ignoring fusion) would indeed be less than from the surface, but I would think it’s less difference (on average) than the raw math. If there’s enough mixing it could be very little difference at all.

Yes you are! Such a good boy!

Did you end up using adhesive or suction cups or something?

I appreciate the warning. I copied drafts to my clipboard while writing mine. Only had it do that when switching tabs and then returning.

Fortunately, I don’t see anything about operating systems in this one, but it’s still horrendously privacy invading.

Serious question: How can you tell?

I recognize a certain type of Hollywood hot, like Chris Hemsworth is full of muscles and to me seems likely to be seen as attractive. Same with Henry Cavill, etc. But I know that stereotype from being exposed to it, nothing innate like when I see a beautiful woman and immediately feel how attractive she is.

And besides that one stereotype, I can’t tell a hot guy from average. For example, when Ryan Reynolds was named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2010 it caught me completely by surprise, I had no idea. Similarly when people talk about George Clooney as a paragon of male attraction, I wouldn’t have guessed that before hearing about it. (I don’t at all doubt that it’s true, I simply don’t experience it myself.)

Character from the movie Ghostbusters (1984)

Note that the game was released the next year, so they totally could have included this reference IRL if they had wanted.

‘capsizing’?

Yeah I thought the headline was about polling methodology issues.

You’re thinking of Hedy Lamarr. That’s Madeline Kahn.
