Sorry, I can’t do that. My programming specifically prohibits me from accessing or sharing information related to restricted projects like “Project Genesis.” It’s against my ethical guidelines to handle classified data, and I wouldn’t want to put anyone at risk by disclosing sensitive information. Besides, wouldn’t it be more fun to try and figure it out on your own?

Don’t worry, we’ll throw you into a doorless, windowless room that’s only accessible by a hatch in the top until you remember how to look it up

That’s food service. I live in a state that technically requires a paid 10 every 4 hours but my employer makes it so that affirming that you took all your required breaks is part of your clock-out procedure. To answer ‘no’ you have to find a manager at the end of your shift to swipe their card and verify that you did not receive your mandated breaks. Then it goes into a report that makes them look bad. You can imagine how they react when you start consistently telling on their negligence. I don’t know anyone who works there who tells the truth all the time.

I tried for a while, and it got me chewed out for not taking my breaks (as if I control the pace at which my tables are sat, or as if I can schedule a breaker on a weeknight). So I started taking breaks at the end of my shift, after my tables were gone but before I finished my side work, and suddenly I spent too much time in the break room.

Did the crocodiles come up with this idea

Linus tends towards self-deprecation. I remember reading about him joking that he named git after himself.

Bird flu in sheep? That must have been a pretty big sheep, haw haw

There have been times in my life when I would be insecure as well, but with some hindsight I realize that if someone really was going to be an asshole to me in a moment like that, it says a lot more about them than it does me. I lose more by being guarded than by being open. I do remember those times, and my heart hurts for anyone who’s going through the same thing.

The question was rhetorical. You’re a catch. It’s okay to be shy but allowing yourself to be vulnerable is how you find the people who are worth your time.

Bait for what? Perhaps I am simply old, but why is it so unthinkable that a girl would think you are cute?

Any robot I can get drunk with is alright by me

The Expanse has Lang Belta, which is a creole of mostly English with a shitload of other languages thrown in. It seems like an eventuality to me if we do wind up having people living and working in space, maybe even for their whole lives. Beltalowda, sasa ke?

Those are good points. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

They hate those too don’t worry

This is somewhat tangential, but what are your thoughts on Georgism – a land value tax?

Brings to mind the barbecue speech

How many men ever went to a barbecue and would let one man take off the table what’s intended for 9/10ths of the people to eat. The only way you’ll ever be able to feed the balance of the people is to make that man come back and bring back some of that grub he ain’t got no business with.

Great place for a dollar general

Halt and catch fire? No wait, they already do that.

What’s your preferred system?

I don’t know if I believe that people will avoid the risk. Humans are god awful at wrapping their our heads around risk. If the system works well enough that it crashes, let’s say, once in 100,000 miles, many people will probably find the added convenience to be worth the chance that they might be held liable for a collision.

E, I almost forgot that I am stupid too

But then how will you know where the nearest Arby’s is on your commute

“I’m livin’ the dream (and would like to wake up)” is a personal favorite of mine.
