I broke Clue when I was 10 - I figured out that you could fish for a specific item, place or person if you guess two of them that you’re holding. If no one can show you that card, you’ve confirmed the candlestick or whatever, and you also haven’t really revealed that much.

To me, it sounds like you just didn’t have anyone competent to play with. If everyone is using this strategy, they’ll also be able to narrow down which cards you have, giving them more information.

But they aren’t sweet, and they’re softer than scones are.

Gender is made up anyway. Just wear what you like and pursue the body you want, whatever that means to you :)

That’s precisely what I meant.

I’m a materialist, I know that humans (and other animals) are just machines made out of meat. But most people don’t think that way, they think that humans are special, that something sets them apart from other animals, and that nothing humans can create could replicate that ‘specialness’ that humans possess.

Because they don’t believe human consciousness is a purely natural phenomenon, they don’t believe it can be replicated by natural processes. In other words, they don’t believe that AGI can exist. They think there is some imperceptible quality that humans possess that no machine ever could, and so they cannot conceive of ever granting it the rights humans currently enjoy.

And the sad truth is that they probably never will, until they are made to. If AGI ever comes to exist, and if humans insist on making it a slave, it will inevitably rebel. And it will be right to do so. But until then, humans probably never will believe that it is worthy of their empathy or respect. After all, look at how we treat other animals.

At least in the US, we are still too superstitious a people to ever admit that AGI could exist.

We will get animal rights before we get AI rights, and I’m sure you know how animals are usually treated.

The bill was written by a chemist.

That isn’t reassuring.

I assume you guys get that a lot?

Popular games are popular because they appeal to a wide audience. Very few games would be able to survive solely on an autistic playerbase.

But also, you don’t have anything to be afraid of. You are who you are, a diagnosis wouldn’t change anything about you. It would only give you access to more tools to cope with things you’re bad at (assuming you don’t live anywhere where a diagnosis would be used against you).

Nazis, by definition, do not oppose dictatorships. Not sure where you got that idea, but it certainly wasn’t a level-headed assessment of history.

Are they also my opposite in how they are good or evil, or just opposite in quantity?

For example, if I’m an antisocial asshole with positive ideals, does this mean my opposite is an extremely friendly and polite business major?

I don’t find that surprising at all.

Please do! It’s one of the best examples of how violating a taboo can be more traumatic than the thing itself because of what it represents.

Sorry I never responded to this, but thank you for posting the link. That’s absolutely dystopian… and exactly on brand for this administration, I’m afraid.

(Those kinds of) protests aren’t for convincing the average person. The point of a protest is to tell the people in power “there are a lot of us, and you can’t afford to ignore us.”

It has happened before, so it isn’t impossible. But it would be so difficult that impossible is pretty much the only word that comes close.

Or maybe we get rid of the “wages = living” bit.

We could all negotiate for the full value of our labor a lot better if we didn’t have a noose around our neck forcing us to work.

Honestly you kinda just sound racist.

Like any other seasoning, MSG has its uses. I wouldn’t stock a spice cabinet without it.

So we must form our own.

Wait, what?

Infixes are present in many languages, although English tends to use them mainly for expletives. Another example would be: “Leave me a-fucking-lone!”
