This is the accepted writing style at my work, and it’s been driving me nuts for years. I’m talking about the copy we put on all our public facing materials. Even our resident linguists hate it, but apparently someone high up thinks it’s industry standard.
Remembering this just made me happier to be leaving soon. They’re so resistant to challenging entrenched habits. I should have seen these signs when I started.
The trick is for those other AIs to reserve a few bucks, so they can repeat the process but this time cash out early. Keep repeating until everybody wins.
Just ask the AI how to turn $1 into $100M with high frequency trading!
I’ll say the obvious because of where we are. Lemmy Kilmister.
Peep Show is my human litmus test. Seeing how people react to that show can tell you a lot about them.
Just brainstorming a semi-plausible explanations here. What if the variation is due to massive portals/wormholes to other planets? If you’re standing near one that goes to a place with much higher gravity when it opens up, it could cause you to be pulled toward it, or increase gravity around that area. If these portals are kept secret, the gravity fluctuations as they open and close might appear to be as random as weather patterns.
Could be an interesting plot point too, if your story includes races that have secretly come through these portals. Their existence could be discovered by triangulating the gravity changes during an event. Lots of interesting possibilities.
Hey, he could just be taking inspiration from Wim Hof.
Ok, yeah probably fetish.
Conversely, too many good games get bad reviews because of lacking endgame. So go play the next thing in your overflowing backlog. Some games do what they came for, and that’s fine.
It’s like giving a bad movie review because the concession stand was closed when you left the cinema.
Months are dumb. Inconsistent lengths, the names are out of sync (OCTober isn’t month 8), pretend to be based on lunar cycles but not, etc.
Give us Year/Day date formats. Extra new year holiday on leap years.
Is this where someone posts the relevant xkcd about too many standards?
So much of it has been lost too. We could do better, though. Teaching what we can would at least teach the general skill of learning languages.
Indonesian is an underrepresented option in my opinion. They’re neighbours and the language is relatively easy. Couldn’t hurt to improve relations a bit. Might make a better impression during the customary pilgrimage to Bali.
Do we really even need months? They don’t even line up with the lunar cycle like they pretend to do.
Just give us Year/Day. On leap years we get an extra long New Year holiday.
Futurama x No Man’s Sky.
Yes please?
No Man’s Fry: Galactic Delivery and Hijinks Simulator.
That would be kind of hilarious. You can use your powers to help the local townsfolk… but they’re all just the worst, so you can also be an instrument of karma.
This would change my life more than any conventional super power.
If it’s just enough to beat out the house advantage, it might be all you need.
The pun is a bit forced, but you have to admire their spirit.
I don’t know which was first, but around 4 or 5 years old I had a bunch of dreams that I confused with reality. They were so vivid, even now when I’m back in that town I half expect to see these impossible things.
A towering rock garden in the park, a hair comb shaped like an ice block, a man in a beefeater costume who gave rides in his horse drawn cart, a singing black cat on the fence of that house on the corner,…
Yes but the word for books comes from bisexuality, because reading is gay.
