The difference between ChatGPT and Computer (not into Star Trek enough to know what its actual name is) is that Computer doesn’t pretend to be a person or have feelings, and it doesn’t encourage harm to anyone. Computer’s purpose is to serve its crew in a constructive manner, not to keep the user engaged at all costs.

You’re saying that the kid who wants to be a superhero is a trans boy because “superhero” is code for trans? I’ve never heard of this.

One of the benefits of gas is that you can still use it to prepare food and boil water in the event of a power failure due to natural disasters and extreme weather. A battery backup is an essential part of an emergency kit in areas where this is a reasonable concern.

I enjoyed carob as a kid and would like to be able to find some in shops today. It’s not the same as chocolate, but I’m okay with the logic behind multiple food items differing.

I don’t understand. You don’t need to visit a room to know whether the light is on in it.

The people I know who are for sure diagnosed with ADHD are very focused and productive when just a little bit stoned.

It sounds like a category alongside Marthas, Wives, and Handmaids.

I had no idea it was a porn category, so thank you for this post.

Could he still walk on it?

Right? I’m into minotaurs and shit on paper, but IRL I can only handle so much.

I think it’s designed that way on purpose to not obscure what the objects are.

If you know you’re being filmed, you usually modify your behavior accordingly. You can actively participate in whatever’s being filmed, double-check your posture, cover your face and walk away, etc. Not everyone wants their image spread online, so it’s important to give people the opportunity to avoid being filmed.

Yeah, but usually you know you’re being recorded because you can see the recording device. I think it’s fair to film in public, but not secretly.

Ferengi females have smaller lobes, implying that this is a sexually-selected trait and that the small ears of other species’ females might be a huge turn-on. We already make art of alien species that have massive dump trucks and extra boobs.

Teratophilia and furries also exist. What people are attracted to isn’t necessarily what God intended.

Effect can be a verb also, but then the meaning is like “cause.”

“The president’s policies effected change.”

It’s technically accurate that cards with lots of text aren’t going to effect me, I think.

Pretty sure they’re right. If something has no effect on you, it doesn’t affect you.

I can’t do a comprehensive search right now, but I’ve so far been unable to find the word “effect” on card text.

I want to become a creature the local people make little shrines to at the edge of the forest.

Furthermore, the brain is not separate from biology; it’s a body part the same as any other organ. There’s plenty of research to suggest (not prove yet) that gender identity correlates to where various parts of the brain lie on a masculine-feminine spectrum, forming an individual mosaic, like a fingerprint or snowflake. Trans women are biological women in every possible sense of the phrase, and this wording is obviously chosen to de-legitimize gender identity.

I was just being a shit, but that’s honestly really interesting to think about!

Is there a backstory for why you rate yourself out of 11 rather than 10?
