3·19 days agoI’d like to take credit, but I got the idea from Joe Haldeman’s book “Buying Time.”
Fun read, look it up.
More like a latte move.
Because you can’t get a good latte in Hell and he’d have to move to get one and…
Laugh damn your eyes, laugh!
My take is that a true AI would be so far ahead of the humans that it wouldn’t want to slow down enough to interact with them. The AI would treat the humans the way we treat intestinal bacteria; we want them healthy and thriving, but don’t really care much about them day to day.
It’s a TV show, produced to sell advertising in the USA.
You might as well complain about the lack of vegan options at McDonald’s.
Get over yourself. If you can suspend your disbelief to watch a show about the Devil running a nightclub, you can watch ‘copaganda.’
You remind me of the people who complain about bad language in rap music; if you’re going to be offended by something, it’s your job to stay away from it.
TV show Lucifer is a fun watch. The Devil gets tired of running Hell and decides to relocate to LA.

‘Men and women’ is the usual order, as is ‘ladies and gentlemen.’
I’d go with modular first. imho
Donald Trump has openly said that he wants to be a dictator.
03·26 days agoI have no idea. I’ve been telling this story for years and this is the first time anyone ever thought I was being mean to the boss.
Here’s one story about how bad he was. He instituted a policy where we were both understaffed and had an overtime cap. People who wanted to fill needed positions couldn’t work because they were capped, and people who didn’t want to work were getting forced to stay.
For someone who derides confrontationality you certainly seem to want an argument.
Or, unlike you, people got the joke.
So, you’re assuming that the big boss was widely respected based on the fact that no one corrected me?
[off topic?]
My boss’s boss was named “Johnson.” One day, I accidentally referred to him as “Jackson.” None of the people I was talking to corrected me. I decided to try a little experiment and kept on using the wrong name. I used the wrong name dozens and dozens of times and never got called out.
There’s no legal requirement for a movie to have anything.
Most people contract for certain things, but it’s all negotiable. Say a big time director like Nolan wanted to have no credits at all; he’d have to make a lot of concessions to the Screen Actors Guild and the other unions, but he could do it if he really wanted to.
I remember reading an old fantasy set in Hell. The joke was that when souls come to Hell they bring their expectations with them. The older demons are sick of all the changes the new dead people bring with them.
Serious.
World map for their room. First teaches colors and shapes, then numbers and letters, and then history.
There’s a video of an Indian comic explaining why Shakespeare is considered the greatest writer ever.
One part of it is the English conquering 75% of the planet and putting their teachers in every classroom.
