to be fair, every now and then I feel like I would, too

As a Large Super Mutant, I must respectfully request that you disclose the location of your Vault.

GDI: bulky, slow, derivative, US/NATO wannabe

NOD: sleek, fast, sneaky, marvel at my big erect Obelisk

I absolutely love character creators that give you enough freedom so that you make the most fucked up characters, can't wait for the DD2 Monster Factory episode

Putin won against a popular candidate due to very suspicious voting practices during an election that was likely not properly inspected by neutral sources. There was even a supreme court judge aligned politically with him who made a very controversial ruling that gave him all of Smolensk's 25 electoral votes which guaranteed that he would be elected.

Oh wait, that was George W Bush and Florida, my bad

exactly, the AIs that are available now are much more advanced and sophisticated, but they're also worse than they've ever been, due to the fact that they're really fucking boring

I remember fondly the days of going on dall-e and asking for an image of a Jeffrey Epstein Funko Pop or CCTV footage of Jesus stealing a bike, and that was fun as hell because it was stupid and not even close to realistic or marketable

the thing is, a really good joke has at least a little bit of transgression, and every single sharp edge is carefully sanded out of these AI things in order to make it into a shiny marketable product... I think it's literally impossible for it to be funny on purpose to any reasonably intelligent adult

I think the last truly funny thing an AI has put out was the bottomless pit greentext:

and I think it was only funny because it still had a little bit of edge and had human input steering it into a funny direction... also, the quirkiness of the text, all that weird repetition, only contributes to make it funnier, so it's not entirely on purpose

I believe that humor is beyond the capabilities of AI now and for the foreseeable future

FIRE IN THE HOLE

little dudes rock

Yeah, we had that here a lot as well. I never knew what they were called, so chatterbox is now a word that I know in English but not in my language lol also, oddly enough, this was very much a girl thing. Growing up, I think I must have seen boys doing this just two or three times, and it was always a really shitty version of the elaborate, pretty chatterboxes that girls did.

My Chinese friends also taught me heibai pei (match black and white), basically throw your hands in palm up or palm down, majority are left out, then minority continue to compete until two people are left, who do scissor paper rock.

Interesting! That's pretty much exactly how our dois ou um game goes, but we use one or two fingers instead of palm up or palm down.

Wow, that's crazy, I didn't know that! There's a lot of Japanese immigrants in Brazil, particularly in the region around São Paulo and Paraná, so that might explain the origin of the word. Maybe Portuguese -> Japanese -> Brazilian Portuguese? I'll have to check that out.

edit: I'm particularly interested in this because I've been watching Shogun lol
