This type of advertising isn’t new. There is that famous (although the claims from the father have been questioned) New York Times article written by Charles Duhigg in 2012. A father of a teenage girl in Minnesota got upset for receiving coupons from Target for infant care related products. As the story goes, he later learned his daughter was in fact pregnant. It turns out Target was using some predictive algorithm to identify would-be mothers and straight up sending them coupons for infant care products. It seems ever since this article was published that they stopped doing this in such a direct manner. Again, there have people who questioned the validity of the claims for this specific story, but Target did confirm they were doing this.

Speaking of… Look at the cover. There is a Wells blurb.

You should read the duology (I’ve only read the first book) Monk and Robot, which is solopunk. The premise is that robots got tired of doing what they were built for, and decided to form a treaty with humans allowing them to wonder into the wild and live without human contact.

Ball peen clearly.

In practice he would have to be celibate.

Tell that to The Doctor! /s

It was long after the reunion which I realized this and I feel ashamed for all times I’ve rewatched the series since.

I watched a lot of it back in the day and by like season 10 (I have no clue how long it ran) I realized it was super boring and bad. There would be jokes as lame as “dude owns a Nintendo 64”. That was the entirety of the joke.

Also there is a long running arc about a main character who is physically incapable of talking to women unless he is intoxicated (aka alcohol).

What’s the matter? Don’t you like me? I’m your girl?

Uh… I regret this.

Little Saddie… in the ass.

By that logic they saw a god. But I’d ask if they need a starship first. Then that would confirm if they were a god.

No, and that is based on the novel Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfar which people thought was a rip off of Project Haily Mary by Andy Weir (which I read and loved). When the trailer for Spaceman was released, Weir had to go on social media and tell fans Spaceman of Bohemia was published before his novel.

EDIT: I did not read Spaceman of Bohemia.

Or worse, you meet the super intelligent giant spider your human ancestor left behind, and you accidentally start a war with them because no one realizes the computer on the ancient satellite is made to behave like the project founder is trying to make first contact.

EDIT: If you haven’t figured it out, I’m describing the novel Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

But that isn’t a Meta company.

And there is a big chance those of us clearly not on there can’t see them post about that denial.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: the person hired to fire themselves.

You must be offended that Starbucks has Italian named drinks too.

FYI: No one who has ever had a “caramel macchiato” at Starbucks has ever had a macchiato at Starbucks.

No but would you let your hologram house maid date your single dad?
