I prefer the Martian bear.

Forgetting he exists would be the best punishment.

What's the point of having a mobile phone that you don't carry around? You might as well have a landline.

Reminds me of the scene in War Games where Joshua is playing the various games over and over and over:

Jennifer: What is it doing?

David Lightman: It's learning.

Get back to talking about how we're whooping Iran's ass at no cost to oursel-- SHUT UP, I SAID NO COST!!!!1

You won't see this on the Fox tabloid, but the acting Navy Secretary admitted at a Congressional hearing that Iran "blew the hell" out of a naval base in Bahrain such that the USS Abraham Lincoln (sound familiar?) couldn't dock for resupply.

So yeah. Whooping Iran's ass at no cost.

Kids are expected to sit in class for six hours a day then go home and potentially do homework for an hour or two.

The difference is, there are breaks in those six hours. You're in class for 55 minutes, then you get up and walk to your next class, rinse and repeat. Depending on your schedule, breaks could even be longer. You get up and move about. You're not stuck in the same chair for six hours.

Don't forget Paxton gave a lenient sentence to Adam Hoffman who raped a friend's kid for over three years.

Yes, Don-boy, I called you a fuckup. Tell the FCC to ban the internet.

There has been erosion over many years, but Trump is doing it's best to make it one right now.

Lucky for us he's an utter fuckup.

No, there was no "empty space" around it. The space itself expanded in the cosmic inflation, per current theory.

Which I've always hated because it makes no sense. If space itself inflated, what did it inflate into? It's illogical, from any perspective, to say the universe was a speck of energy that suddenly expanded to create itself. If it expanded, it had to expand into something. You can't create yourself. If you say that, then all you've done is recreate, "In the beginning ..."

You could have stopped at Microsoft Breaks. We just found a previous update from Microsoft breaks the cellular connection in some of our HP laptops. The update flips the IMEI back to the default. We had to get a patch from HP to fix the update.

I'm more interested in the game than in the packaging.

Details bore me. Describing a person's outfit in detail is filled with information I could not care any less about.

Clearly you don't read any Brandon Sanderson books.

Ah yes, the censorship that still allowed people to see the lies about ivermectin. Clearly an abuse of power to let people see the lies. And no, the technologies in this story were not used by Biden. So another lie which isn't being censored.

Mandatory vaccinations were for a select group of people: i.e. the military and medical workers. No one else was required to get a vaccination.

But please, continue licking RFK, Jr's boots. He needs all the help he can get.

I'm not sure what you mean when you imply that AI doesn't understand storytelling. It's not *great* at it, but if you formalize the process (outlines, character profiles, world details, external notes, and so on) you can get something coherent if you use a decent AI.
