My partner said I should be more romantic. I asked what that means, and was told, “You know, romantic.”

My partner is mysteriously infatuated with these Christmas movies.
If I remember the episode correctly, the study looked at secondary chemicals in the brain, but there are other explanations for them, which are more plausible.
There’s likely very little, if any, plastic in our brains:
It was all over the second Google changed their motto from “don’t be evil”.


I always find the same study referenced, which was good science but also almost 30 years old. I wonder if this is still true for modern batteries?


Do you though? I mean, a satellite orbiting the sun between the earth and the sun could cast a large shadow, right?


One thiest view of morality is that it is arbitrary, so literally anything that God does is good because that is what goodness is.


What an amazing song, thanks!


I mean, we call the software that runs computer players in games AI, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


License plate readers? Facial recognition? Speech recognition?


Europeans caused massive death in the Americas. I do not think we should replicate that model.
Also, the chance is small, but there might have been a separate biogenesis (beginning of life) on Mars. Sending humans with our dirty microbiome would almost certainly wipe any evidence of that, and possibly cause an extinction of an entirely separate form of life, which would be a crime even more horrible than the extinctions and genocides which we have caused so far.
Let’s just leave Mars alone until we’ve studies it more and are certain there is no life. Colonizing the moon seems challenging enough for a couple centuries…


It had too little memory, but was clearly a step towards phone perfection. I am still bitter that Nokia hired a Microsoft loyalist who killed the Linux line … shortly before killing the whole company.

For example, the more gas a business uses in the Netherlands, the less they generally pay per unit. This is terrible for our carbon footprint, where we basically subsidize the worst emitters. 😟
That’s what I thought but there’s slightly more than that.
The writer tried to trick ChatGPT 5, saying Vermont has no R in it. ChatGPT did say “wait, it does”. But then when pushed it said, “oh right there is no R in Vermont”.
I mean… the inability to know what it knows or not is a real problem for most use cases…


He was asked if he has an age limit. Misunderstanding the question about what his maximum age would be, he replies that he wouldn’t be like a Congressman who had sex with 12 year olds.


He said 12 is too young for him.
China needs Taiwan to fail because the Chinese Communist Party maintains that democracy is incompatible with the Chinese culture. Having a very successful Chinese democracy shows that Chinese culture is compatible with democracy.
In a similar way, capitalists do everything they can to scuttle socialist countries, because a working socialist country would show that it was viable. Hence endless embargoes, wars, and a steady stream of propaganda. This was true for the entire life of the Soviet Union, and continues to this day for socialist countries.
