Oh boy! Can’t wait to experience the ramifications of this one!

What’s next? Gonna try to recreate Deep Impact, just to see?

I used to stop in from time to time to get a really good smh in, and I was never disappointed. I’d be interested to see a real screenshot.

Serious answer: it’s a “smart” urinal, in that it can report usage statistics, alert maintenance staff to problems, and be remotely controlled.

If you’re in the facilities maintenance business, Bluetooth-enabled equipment can be a good way to get an operational technology network up and running without a lot of costly retrofit.

Do you think your age when you played it has anything to do with disliking it? It was leaps beyond anything else available at the time, and I was young and impressionable, so even for its faults it was amazing.

That standard is fine. Leave the rest out and do things you like in social settings and bip bop boop, you’ve found somebody who’d rather be with you than at a club, even if all you do is watch anime, or she sits on the couch and watches you play video games. Be open to your ideal looking different from what you expected.

Anime and video games to the exclusion of everything else? Are those the only two options? What about reading and movies? Or knitting and podcasts?

If all you do is look for reasons not to date somebody, then that is all you’re going to see.

You asked, I answered. Do you want to know what people think about your standards or not? I agree with your friends. I’m not equipped to help you demystify your feelings towards women, but I think a good place to start is by examining why these things are such deal breakers to you. Is the presence of these qualities the only things you find attractive, regardless of any other factors? Because that’s not how people typically view attractiveness.

Yes. It sounds like you’re talking about the features you’re on the lookout for in a used car, which comes off as creepy.

Making you that much more attractive! It’s a vicious cycle!

PILLS HERE

Sorry, I’m not sure I understand how that makes it useless. I get the feeling that you just want to feel smug, so if it makes you feel better go ahead, I guess.

Going to have to disagree with you there. I’ve gotten plenty of use out of chat GPT in multiple scenarios. I find it difficult to imagine what exactly you think is useless about it because it seems so indispensable to me at this point.

In general I think emojis add nonverbal context clues to conversations and in my experience are a valuable tool for conveying information quickly. I’m seeing them used in all but the most formal of cases in a work environment and I don’t think that particular train is going to be stopping anytime soon.

For clarity’s sake, the original intent behind copyright was definitely to protect authors and thereby foster creativity, but corporations like Disney have lobbied very successfully over the years to prevent original works from becoming public domain.

Meanwhile, in classic fashion, those same companies have taken public domain works and turned them into ludicrously successful IPs!

I argue that this is a positive aspect of capitalism that our governments have unduly suppressed in favor of corporate sponsors (further solidified by an increasing legal allowance of such sponsorships), and that we should return to a more reasonable timeframe for full exclusivity.

The only way I see it as being negative is to look at it like the “yeah, okay” Jennifer Lawrence meme.
