CLEARLY an intentional reference if I’ve ever seen one. ;D

Nasty little coyoteses?
- Comment on What are the key features of AI-powered shopping assistants? 5 days ago:
They are a feature that capitalists think will be useful - of course they are ultimately meant to make you spend more money. It’s not inconceivable that means they’ll make your visit to a site more pleasant (so you’ll be likely to come back to spend more).
That said, it’s also The Thing To Do these days to put AI into everything, whether it’s actually useful or not. So whether or not any particular AI assistant will be helpful or not is anyone’s guess and you’ll have to try them to see. Any AI assistant I’ve interacted with has been decidedly less than helpful and just barfed up what information I could’ve found more easily on my own.
- hey gym assistant, does the subscription include a trainer showing me how stuff works?
- the subscription includes a personalised training plan :)
- okay but will your staff show me how the equipment works?
- the personalised workout plan is included in the subscription and is personalised to you by our staff :)
- i am a total beginner, never been to the gym, will your staff show me how to use the equipment if i don’t know how to use it?
- our staff will help you design your workout plan personalised to your individual fitness level. sugar free drinks are included in the subscription too :)
- you’re not answering my question. i don’t want to know about the personalised workout plan or the drinks. i need to know about the equipment in the gym. is there anyone who can teach me how to use the equipment so i don’t hurt myself?
- i’m sorry, i don’t know that :( hey but our subscription is awesome :)
True story.
(I ended up assuming they’re not going to show me shit.)

I love that for us.
- Comment on You must take a long road trip with Donald Trump and no one else in the car. Security is everywhere; no one is in danger. You drive and control the radio, but can only play music. What's the playlist? 1 week ago:
Splendid idea, I don’t have a license, I don’t know what I’m doing so I shall sacrifice myself for the greater good and drive that car. Oh also, we’re listening to a playlist of songs by obscure indie Bravo punk band Die Ärzte, with Schrei nach Liebe being on there several times, obviously.

Yes, excellent idea, stop participating in society. /s
- Comment on Power is not energy: why the difference matters [Technology Connections] 1 week ago:
I sometimes make a conscious effort to understand electricity. For a few days, I then think I understand what’s going on and then promptly I forget.
(Yes, I shall watch this video.)

Gamble responsibly.
Also, I see we’re still doing random music in this kind of video to punish people who have the volume up.

Nay, I daresay I judge it not possible, goode Sir or Lady, notte now nor e’er.
- Comment on Is it rude to reply using English under posts in a language you can’t speak? 1 week ago:
Just don’t expect nuance or depth. Or, in case of languages that aren’t closely related to yours, to be understood.

- Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year 1 week ago:
Oh you’re saying that this is about right wingers who think the Last Samurai is okay (while Ass Creed isn’t).
… That… makes sense. Huh. I hadn’t seen it that way.
- Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year 1 week ago:
That’s presumably the beginnings of an awareness of why that narrative is problematic. And also of the importance of historic accuracy. His role in the narrative was that of a saviour though.
- Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year 1 week ago:
And even then, there were people who were uncomfortable with a narrative of some heroic white dude coming in to save the exotic natives. Just wasn’t a very popular opinion.
- Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year 1 week ago:
There is a lot of highly critical discourse around the Last Samurai. Not current, because it’s not a current movie, but saying that it’s “okay” suggests you haven’t looked for criticism.
Also, weary.
- Comment on Mythbusters: Wing Commander I Edition 1 week ago:
Eagle-eyed readers will immediately notice two minor changes between the original version and the 2015 Reddit version (which itself was sourced from a LinkedIn share by a third party in 2012): the original does not have the screenshot and the wording of the quit message has been slightly edited apparently with the intent to make the ending punchier.
Good lord, I spent WAY too much time on trying to find what about the wording was changed. They put an exclamation mark instead of a full stop.

- Comment on Late 1900s 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t work, “20th century” as a term is synonymous with “modern”. “The xx00s” is automatically “a long time ago”.

Thank you for pointing this out, I shouldn’t have just skimmed the nonsense.

Which is probably why they do still sell these dictionaries, just not nearly as many as they used to.

Sure, I never claimed the opposite :) I just think in this case, the one to blame is whoever came up with the idea for this article, not the people who were asked questions.
