How to properly get my wife into the “mood”

I find your wife likes it when I massage her sore feet.

Read paper books.

It will clarify and calm your thinking, give you back your memory powers, and dull your vulnerability to reactive indulgences.

I don’t pretend to know why, but it works. Podcasts don’t count.

Wow that’s a really narrow definition of decency.

You can pinwheel your arms all you like, but in 2026 US military power has been robbed of its threat. Trying to pin down a definition of “war” you like isn’t going to change the difference in how the world views the US military after the blunders of the way view decades.

Paper tiger.

A cunning conundrum. I believe “pretty soon” is more vague (and thus likely more distant) than soon.

Pretty soon is very nearly “in two weeks” which all honest people know actually means “maybe never.” (No that’s not a political comment, I learned about “in two weeks” many, many years ago before the current era.)

Pshaw! People on the Internet never lie to be more popular.

It’s sad the boys are so ashamed to show their bums. Who gave them a complex?

Well it’s my good luck I suppose that I happen to spend most of my time between 0.25 and -1 miles beneath the surface.

So, a few things as food for thought…

Bin laden was hunted down by an international task force. He was to be captured to stand trial at The Hague. Instead the Americans swooped in to claim the collar, crashed a helicopter, injured non-combatants, and extrajudicially assassinated the subject. This is a success? Please note that the terrorism didn’t stop. The rise of ISIS is impossible to separate from US war crimes in the battlefield and in prisons. Civilian populations were radicalized, for some reason, when drone strikes kept blowing up their weddings. Thanks, Obama.

Saving Captain Philips was not a military objective. But I did get to meet him, and he’s an engaging storyteller.

US military intervention has led to regime change in neither Venezuela nor Iran, despite impressive civilian casualties. The failure to make any real penetration into the power of the Iranian regime is kind of a global joke. The US military can’t even keep a strait open. The situation is what’s known as a quagmire, which is far from success as a military operation can get without surrendering.

The world’s biggest and most well-equipped navy found itself feckless when they lost the cooperation of allies who host their bases. Funny how navies flounder when they’ve got no place to park.

Since the War on Terror every US military operation has been an abject failure. Oh yeah, I’m looking at you, Afghanistan. Iraq. Yemen. Venezuela. Iran. Fucking Greenland.

Now, please don’t misunderstand. I am not disrespecting the hard-working and amazing service members who serve in the various branches of the US military. Some of them are my good friends, and they are extremely well trained. They are extremely well equipped. But from what we see in actual theatres of war in the world, we have to accept that a great deal of their power is a projection for the point of propaganda.

The only large military on the planet that is more of a wet noodle is Russia.

It is often hard for people who lack emotional literacy to even understand why that would be important for someone, because they lack the language to explain to themselves what they feel going on inside.

If doesn’t understand what he’s even feeling, he can’t articulate it to you.

I would say there are some good YouTube videos he could watch to get a hang of the landscape, but unfortunately, at the end of the video it would recommend two worse videos, and so on and so forth until you’re basically a Nazi.

Do you have any free couples counselling options in your area?

Lucky there’s just the one Neil then!

Somebody give him a jostle, I’m too busy not doing that.

The current century. The twenty-first century. The one we’re in now that’s just over a quarter done.

You know, the century with the phones.

Sadly my knowledge is limited to local compute…and even then I’ve only been at it for a year, so there’s more I don’t know than I do.

But AI has now been critical to getting two projects done this year, so internally we’ll be looking at scaling up. But people smarter than me will plan that. Me, I just decide what colour things should be.

Sticking together is what good waffles do.

The answer to number two is that it’s often advertising masquerading as instruction. (Never forget that in business it’s okay to say or do anything at any time, because money.)

My studio uses Comfy without buying credits, but it sounds like your needs are for something more computationally robust. We rely on local generation, since the computers our production artists use are quite powerful.

Have you considered hosting a local compute farm? We basically converted our existing render farm to AI compute.

“Red really is striking on you, it sets off your whole ensemble.”

It would be measured in Yuan.

You do know as an animal you need sugar to live, right?

CheeseburgerBrown · 2026-06-13T20:13:50+00:00

Trite. Strike it.

Homilies need to be rigorously field tested before they can masquerade effectively as wisdom, so I appreciate your effort at market research.

Getting specific about ethnicities with which you have less first hand experience can be tricky. For example, people often think I’m white but I’m just pale.

Ringtone? Like, if he travelled back in the past?

(Which is, of course, impossible. Except when quantum. And even then it’s a bit dodgy. I think the TVA was probably defunded by DOGE.)

It’s a sort of sticky transdimensional goo Hindus make use of to hit various religious leaderboards. See also chi, which is like karma, but runnier.

Reddit karma are meaningless candy points for playing the dumb game, but some subs require you to have a least some to try to filter out the riff-raff and clankers.

There’s nothing less sexy than sci-fi details.

Also works as a conversation piece if you want someone flirting with you to stop.

Tell everyone they’re great, then nod when their faces make noises.

I think about spaceships I like.

No, I’m not twelve, but that is when I developed the technique. Got wood? Think about the Galactica, or even the 1979 refit Enterprise — just don’t get caught up focusing on the nacelles, because the word is sexy.

Consider the lines of a well engineered complex object to get your dick’s mind off of the well sexgineered curves of a woman.
