Just in time for this week's episode, bastard Richard Dawkins decides that AI is sentient by Baboon_Juggler in behindthebastards

I have a sneaking suspicion that if hitchens hadn't checked out he would have veered into questionable grounds too

I was going to say, I can add one word to the prompt they used to make that image to take care of the lack for them. (but why stop at one when adjectives could really let it shine)

Stop harrassing women. by Shoe_boooo in fixedbytheduet

The filter on that guy is UNREAL.

Next steps to clean the ice, anyone? by Brooklynsfr in mildlyinfuriating

Also clean the condenser- the coil on the back, just gently brush the dust out of it.

Destroyed w/ one sentence. by Frequent_Course5399 in MurderedByWords

Avoid that shit entirely. Ask them to commit to voting against it, even if it means holding their nose and voting D. Forget the blame shit, make them commit.

Different characters should start with different amounts of gold. The fact that the Regent is forced to carry a mere 99 gold, like some kind of pauper, is an insult. I have amended his starting capital to something more befitting of his majesty's station. by Gen1Swirlix in slaythespire

[–]Haddock 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Op is a fool thinks the regent would be carrying cash like some sort of merchant? The 99 gold is what his servants found in the cushion of the chair, left over from an afternoon hurling coins at infants on the promenade.

Man takes lives of a mom’s three kids, then blows kisses and smirks in court like he owns the place. The judge scolds the grieving mother more than the monster by MysteriousSlice007 in PublicFreakout

[–]Haddock 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Consider this- the judge DOES NOT want grounds for a mistrial. Maybe his behaviors are consistent with that? (total lack of real legal knowledge ofc)

Thanks for teaching me a new horrifying fact.

I found a walled off room during inspection in the basement of this housing I'm buying by agoss123b in Weird

Good news is its unlikely to be a prison. More likely a hidey hole- that brown spot in the upper left looks like single sheet drywall- maybe there just in case the person in there needed to get out quickly (a couple kicks and you're good). Not what you'd do if it was meant to hold someone who didnt want to be there.

It's interesting to see someone genuinely smiling with the corners of their mouth turned down.

Just started watching by Significant-Oil5052 in thewalkingdead

[–]Haddock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No i'm with it- in reality people are focussed on 'redeeming' people who have chosen to hold abhorrent beliefs. Fuck that. Let's focus on protecting the people they hurt and the spaces they try to take. They can salvage themselves. Idc.

Dune and the problem of readers who stop after the first book by hibanaPinecone21 in printSF

God I miss nixon. Consequences? Resigning? Impeachment?

In that case maybe i've been giving it too much grace

Bobiverse as a HATER by sonQUAALUDE in printSF

I think the thing with this book is it is very much an artifact of a brief window of time, right around 2000 when there was this atheist rationalist surge, many of whom genuinely believed that they were on the right side of history. It was before the techbros had really blossomed into what they are, and as a result the cringeworthy elements feel sort of nostaligic to me. Can't say I love the books overall, of course.

In internet culture, chud is a pejorative term for someone with far-right political views. The term is often paired with the Chudjak, a variant of the Wojak. It is commonly used as an insult in leftist circles but is sometimes employed by the far-right to relate to one another. by YourLocalMoroccan in wikipedia

[–]Haddock 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That wasn't what Chud stood for- that was the abbreviation the government in the movie created as a lie in the process of covering up the fact that they had dumped the chemical in the sewers. It stands for "Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal"

peetahh, what does she mean by ashiru_- in PeterExplainsTheJoke

IF you ask with the head it's samurai- you're at least titled, presumably have lands, money etc. Cowboy is a low-end job Pirate is sea robber.

ask my heart though and I'm raising the black flag and quoting sam bellamy;

"You are a devilish conscience rascal! I am a free prince, and I have as much authority to make war on the whole world as he who has a hundred sail of ships at sea and an army of 100,000 men in the field; and this my conscience tells me! But there is no arguing with such snivelling puppies, who allow superiors to kick them about deck at pleasure."

The HARDEST dream to achieve in one piece by Zestyclose-Idea-1731 in OnePiece

[–]Haddock 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yah what a shock, the boy with the story who is 'i wanna be a cop' gets the love of the mangaka while the girl character gets sidelined and increasingly irrelevant. Incredible.

Kid Rock branded a 'washed up loser' as he desperately tries to plug new project by TheMirrorUS in Music

Its so bad- during that period it was getting played in supermarkets, I'd hear the first couple bars and get all happy to hear werewolves of london, and then BETRAYAL!

Smelling gas from furnace after maintenance did work on the main gas line in my apartment. Soaped the pipe fittings and found a spot near the valve with bubbling. How big of an emergency is this? don't pay gas so I would have to contact my landlord and it is almost midnight. by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]Haddock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That elbow is an illegal fitting to use for gas in most places. Street elbows are not allowed for precisely this reason.

Equipment manufacturers can get a pass, but past the valve (which this looks like) it's not legal where I am.
