surely the plagiarism machine will have evolved itself into a superintelligent thinking machine by then.
right?

- Comment on If you lose your memories, are "you" dead? If a close relative/friend lose their memories, are they still "your relative/friend"? What the hell even is memory? How sentimental are you about memories? 2 weeks ago:
our memories are not our values, our principles, our habits, our quirks, our capacity for positive experience or engaging interaction.
but they’re pretty closely tied into all of them. i’m not an amnesiologist but i imagine it depends on the specific case how much is ‘lost’ in a given case of amnesia and what’s able to be recovered.
- Comment on TV/MA 'High School' teen drama shows should be set in college and centered around young adults or adults. 3 weeks ago:
teenagers should be strangling one another on dimly lit beaches surrounded by a sea of human-soul-tang and esoteric christian iconography, not going to clubs and having sex.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 3 weeks ago:
Do you all have a different idea of what a date is than me or something? The point is to get to know someone you don’t know yet.
it’s 2025 and the typical use case when you meet someone on an app is to chat online, maybe do some video calls for a week+ to establish rapport and vet one another. by the time you meet up you should have some amount of chemistry and a feel for each other’s values.
if you don’t, the hinged thing to do is to not go out until you do. not to bring a third wheel lol.
but I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to roll those dice.
apt metaphor considering it’s a stupid fucking game to play. surely you can’t blame anyone for choosing not to play it.

Why should they trust some random dude they met on a dating app?
no one says they have to, but they probably shouldn’t, i dunno, go out on a date with them if they can’t.
You act like that’s some crazy fear, but it happens all the fucking time.
call it a crazy thought, but if i were premeditating sexual assault, i probably wouldn’t choose someone who has my name, photos, phone number, and a history of correspondence to show motive. lol
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 3 weeks ago:
right, this is basically saying “i don’t trust you not to spike my drink, take me to a second location, and rape me”
and maybe you shouldn’t be online dating at all if that’s where you start out from

- Comment on [STATUS] Comick.io closes down. 5 weeks ago:
paying for media that i don’t own in any sense is a complete non starter for me so we’ll have to disagree about the value of subscriptions.
and when ebooks barely cost less than physical volumes without any of the utility, that’s absolutely scammy.
- Comment on [STATUS] Comick.io closes down. 5 weeks ago:
paying for digital manga is an absolute fucking scam.
it’s a shame that so many great series will never license physical copies in english.
- Comment on Credit scores drop at fastest pace since the Great Recession 5 weeks ago:
The findings underscore the growing disconnect between the euphoria on Wall Street and pessimism on Main Street. While US stocks continue to shatter record highs, a significant chunk of Americans say they are hurting.
this is just irresponsible reporting because it completely elides over the reason that stocks are up - because the dollar is down almost 11% YTD

‘cooking’ specifically implies either creativity or efficacy (or both, some novel solution that results in success)
