Live long, and sausage.

It’s either deterministic or chaotic. There’s no in-between.

Free will and consciousness are merely illusions caused by the way our brains work.

Overtuned pattern recognition machines recognising spurious patterns in themselves.

On a low level, our brains can’t really understand that correlation doesn’t imply causation. It’s an evolutionary imperative: if we don’t see a tiger where there isn’t one we might fail to see one when it’s really there, and therefore fail to pass on our less overtuned pattern recognition genes.

So we end up seeing tigers in the sky, and free will in our actions, and consciousness in our thoughts.

It’d probably let you. They’re pretty chill cats.

Don’t have a lot of energy, and have to save it for sprinting.

Fun fact: cheetahs can purr and meow.

We’re too big and too dangerous.

A cheetah would need to be very desperate to attack a human.

On windows, sfc /scannow, dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, and dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase are pretty much required to prevent that mess from blowing up…

I’ve also had to use the command line to do some Exchange 365 stuff like forcing immediate archive population on 100% full inboxes whose users refused to delete any emails from…

Correlation doesn’t imply causation… but in this case it probably does, let’s be frank.

Sure… but Tolkien could tell you Treebeard’s name in hall a dozen languages he’d made up for his setting (or for fun, before the setting was a thing), including full etymologies.

Yes. People suck. The only tolerable multiplayer is LAN, or multiple controllers connected to the same device, possibly with split screen.

Actually, it’s about the teeth.

Do you know C#? LINQ? IEnumerable<T>? IEnumerable<T> is a monad. That’s how LINQ works.

You’ve been using monads all along.

I can hear this gif.

Depression.

The end result of a programmer’s work is depression.

I’m pretty certain this has traumatized me.

They aren’t as cool, sure, but they’re still covered in chromatophores (and cuttlefish also have ink, so the point still stands anyway).

I just couldn’t find a gif of one using them, so I got one of a cuttlefish. 🤷‍♂️

Who cares about pens and ink?

Damn things got an HD screen all over their bodies, they don’t need ink to write whatever they want all over themselves…

OK, the teflon one is monstrous and should get its perpetrators perpetually banned from any position of responsibility, and the drunk bat one depends on whether they force fed the poor critters alcohol or they just ate fermented fruit by themselves, but the rest look like perfectly cromulent science, especially the pasta sauce one… that’s important research, and should get government funding.

And you stink like a fascist apologist, i.e., a fascist.

Any democracy that tolerates the existance of fascists will soon stop being a democracy.

(A good alternative if you don’t have red dye to toss in the fountain — or if you just don’t feel like using dye — is the blood of one or more fascists.)
