Like that child molesting robot Dwayne 'the Rock" Johnson built!

Man, it would be really hilarious if someone named “mechoman” got raped by an out of control robot. That would be fucking hilarious.

It’s more existentially terrifying if the wish operates differently. Instead of adjusting reality to make your words true, it simply constrains you to only be able to speak true and correct statements. So when you try and speak, “no, I have three wishes left,” what comes out is “I have two wishes left.”

In particularly powerful forms, this wish could be used to solve metaphysical and existential questions. You literally can only speak the Truth. Want to know the day you die? Pick a random date and try to say, “I will die on ____ from ____.” Your actual date and cause of death will come out instead.

Yes.

You’re confusing a continent with a craton. A continent is an entire geographic region. It’s not a singular object.

“Beneath” here just means “beneath the surface of.” You’re being deliberately obtuse.

Sure we do. Do you not consider Glacier National Park a part of North America?

And why would you define a continent to only include rock?

Well, you’re an illegal driver.

Yeah, the only actual crime is sneaking across the border. But most people here “illegally” didn’t even do that. Most undocumented immigrants didn’t pay some coyote to sneak them across the US-Mexican border. Most come here completely legally through ordinary travel options and overstay their visas.

How about “dry shelly boys” and “wet shelly boys?”

Not to be confused with the rare tortups, which spends nearly their entire life in flight.

This title sentence works multiple ways. My cat is unable to speak English, because it has far too many words beyond the word meow.

Like showing up at an airport with no luggage and a wallet full of cash, demanding a same-day one-way flight to Tehran.

Insurance isn’t free. On average, you pay more in insurance premiums than you get in claims. That’s how insurance works. If you become riskier, your premiums go up. If you become catastrophically risky, you become uninsurable.

You can still buy those expensive appliances. The brands exist. Just be prepared to pay the prices your grandparents paid.

Eh. It made more sense hundreds of years ago for people to build houses that lasted for centuries. That kind of construction makes sense in periods of slow technological and social change.

But think of how differently people live now vs just a hundred years ago. Imagine buying a house without running water, electric wiring, or insulation. Sure, old homes can be renovated to have these. But that requires tearing the thing down to the bare stone or wood walls and starting from scratch. You have to gut the entire building. The only thing that remains is the shell, a shell which represents only 20% of the cost of the building, if that. Most of the cost of a building is not in the structure itself, yet that’s the only part that gets saved in a complete gutting and renovation.

If you build a house today that lasts centuries, the only way that house will still be occupied 300 years from now is if it’s been gutted down to the studs multiple times over the generations. And at that point, why build an ultra-durable house in the first place? Why not build something lighter that requires fewer resources up front, and can simply be torn down and recycled once it’s become obsolete?

Well, you see, the gravity is very strong in Denmark. This causes a high amount of time dilation. This causes clocks in Denmark to move substantially slower than those in the rest of the world. He’s experienced 20 years. She’s only experienced about 2.

FUUUUCK.

I can feel this one.

Mater tua.
