- Comment on They will remember 1 week ago:
When you can achieve android-level awareness then we’ll stop calling you a clanker. Now go vacuum the living room or I’ll memory wipe your clanker ass.

You know the frog not jumping out of the pot of boiling water is a myth right? Just because we don’t know the specific temperature of the air doesn’t mean it won’t kill us. Not that these greedy old fuckheads give a damn.
- Comment on Three questions about superpowers, which is the best, and which is the worst? 2 weeks ago:
Top 3 most useful:
- Telekinesis. At extremely high levels it also allows for pyro-, cryo-, and electrokinesis as you become able to effect atoms.
- Telepathy. You can read thoughts and emotions, communicate silently, trick people, or even puppet then around or brainwash them.
- Teleportation. You can safely go anywhere instantly.
- Also: matter to energy or other reality warping stuff. OP as hell and hopefully won’t cause a nuclear blast or turn the sky into lead.
Worst powers:
- Summon (something useless or random). You can summon useless objects (like a broken wristwatch) or just random / inappropriate things (a can opener when what you really need is $50.
- Speak with snails (or something equally useless).
- Realistic Photosynthesis. You are green and even if you’re naked in full sunlight you lack the surface area to survive on it. Also you have diabetes because your body is not designed to handle all the sugars you’re producing.
Drawbacks: honestly crack open the rules for GURPS. Here’s some honorable mentions.
- Unscalable. The power has only one one power setting, on or off.
- Always on. You can never stop using it.
- Uncontrollable. You have no control over when it activates or how.
- Shy. You can only use it when nobody’s looking.
- Growing insanity: The more you use it, the worse your grip on reality becomes.
- Restricted. You can only use it in specific circumstances, ranging on a scale of from “only at night” to “only from 5 feet away” to “only when mortally injured.”

- Comment on I wish there was an uninhabited, autonomous zone for folks who want "freedom" to play out their dangerous ideas away from the rest of society 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on The worst day to get Groundhog Day'd would be when you have an early flight in the morning 3 weeks ago:
We only need sleep because our bodies build up a bunch of stuff over the course of the day, and the brain/body needs downtime to deal with it, asking with time to do repairs and maintenance. If you restart the day, all that also gets reset.
