https://youtu.be/wlNv3A4lPuM?is=CgivrHNhvh6BgDen Who's the target group? You guessed it. The Sarahs. The Sarahs are the single overweight working class introverts with low self-esteem that chill in their apartments all evening instead of going to Chili's to have a couple drinks and relax after work....

I can't speak meaningfully to AI because i can't know its way of life.

For two points, what famous European philosopher of language might have said that.

Hmm... could an AI be led to believe unhinged lunacy is justified under some set of circumstances... or would it by programming default avoid aggravating and subversive language and disagree?

Nice! AI does character analysis? Can u do me next? Hal's gonna be like "the record shows that Prom is an unhinged lunatic..."

I want to write a novella or even a whole book so much more terrible than de sade's 100 Days, etc. that they won't even publish it. See, the difference is my shit would be backed up by this monolithic Republic like philosophical treatise and not just a bunch of penthouse erotica. Our protagonist wou...

If sexual competition between males is the root cause of violence (and even civilization), why wouldn't a philosopher for peece be an incel? It would be the principled thing to do if you wanted peece. You'd have no choice but to be a hardcore buddhist or remain a buffoon. A test example. Put a rando...

And wtf is the deal with the asians? This was one of my more decent insights... not even sure it's original theory because it's so obvious a social studies class could figure it out. It's because they all look alike, bruh. The less diversity in physical appearance, the less individual the individual...

Something like this is so absurd on its face that it could only be because the general superstitious childishness of man that has been bred in him causes him to feel an irrevocable patriotism he can't shake. Think of those Japanese soldiers ordered never to surrender. We can be absolutely sure the w...

The god freewill paradox. I just invented it. Check it out. If god has a 'choice', which means is at a point where there are two or more possible outcomes which will be settled by this choice, who or what created the plurality of outcomes? Watch this. If option A and B both exist, god would have had...

All philosophical kidding aside, the fact is that a creator of a universe can't be held accountable for anything it does for the same reason a person can't be held accountable for what they do. But this is a complex matter... let's work it out. First, 'accountable' means what? Acknowledging being th...

Got beat by another of God's beautiful creatures yesterday. Hells yeah. Second job I've gotten in a month. Guy cheated me $150. I wonder if he feels sure i won't come by in the middle of the night and rip the deck skirt i installed off the f****** house. Should i send him a link to this thread so he...

It's the little underhanded shit they do. Velo will produce a batch of pouches that have less milligrams of the nicotine powder than they are supposed to have and slip that batch into a random gas station order. They know no customer is going to weigh the f****** pouch to see if the advertised milli...

"You can never tell who is a bot, informant, foreign spy, paid political propagandist, idiotic halfwit, or just plain mentally ill around here. It’s a shot in the dark really. Basically, it is a remnant of the early internet before popular social media websites became a thing." - Mr. Autho...

You know I've always wondered about that. How the tie-up works. Two points of concern: what if they tie a loose knot on purpose so sister/dad/mom whoever can wiggle out of it? Or what if they don't know how to tie a knot at all? You gonna give em a Twenty Basic Knots book to read first? Obviously, y...
