This is kinda sad, since I am genuinely worried that we’re relying on AI tools to assist with comprehending what I thought was pretty straightforward allegory.

I phrased it the way I did in case it was actually ME that was getting trolled. Hopefully that’s all it is, and I’m just underestimating the depth of trolling here.

Someone also posted an AI-generated summary for audience members whose reading comprehension skills have already atrophied.

Good luck, humanity.

“… I had to use AI to figure out what this is supposed to mean.” I can only hope you really mean “I CHOSE to IRONICALLY use AI to figure out what this is supposed to mean.”

the whole (he/him) in my email signature was a wild ride… like do I add it even though I’m CIS/hetero/boring? I see all the middle aged white women in my office doing it, and that means it’s a few weeks from HR making a vague rule about it… I’m not conservative, but I don’t want to be some fake virtue signaler, since I don’t really know any trans people… but I don’t want to give some kind of passive approval of intolerance by NOT adding it… will HR flag me if I do add it? or if I don’t?

I can only hope that was an autocorrect, otherwise you’d better retake that training. Or maybe full-contact corrupting is a thing now…

lol did you just “I know you are but what am I”? Why not address the accusation? How is “I don’t see color” different than “I don’t see gender”?

I bet you don’t see color, either…

I have a floor-standing bike pump in the trunk from when I had a slow leak. Electric pumps are often loud enough to wake up the neighborhood, heavier, and more expensive. If you’re fit enough to do 20 pushups a high-volume bike pump will work fine.

I hope this isn’t a photo from mode pandemic… I mean fuck cars and all that, but drive thru was clutch for a bit there.

We’re speaking German after French aristocrats gave us the names for all the fancy things we couldn’t afford when we were all peasants.

Yep, poor people need cars to survive in the US. Barely any public transport outside of the very biggest cities. Only richer people can replace their rusty cars every 10 years.

20 minute drive out to the honey farmer, 10 minutes to my asparagus guy, 10 minutes to the butcher for some chicken, hmmm if only there were some sort of larger… super large market so that I don’t spend so much of my life driving around…

Interesting. Culturally, France seems like the most child-hostile country in western Europe. I wonder if this is them trying to make children more acceptable in public. Good luck France! You’ll have to get over yourself first. Can’t take yourself too seriously when children are in the mix.

it also has a log cabin… and Log Cabin is a maple syrup brand… and maple syrup is from maple trees… and maple leaves are on Canadian flags… so… a snowman?

Have you tried it on a hot day? For me it’s the contrast that causes the headache.

I thought this was a special power that all middle-aged people got as their sleep quality gets shittier. Like your brain is still idling, tracking stuff, instead of fully resting.

Doctor: I can’t treat your fungal infection. BTW, your immune system is under arrest for murder.

I followed the cited source for the wikipedia claim, and it’s just a guy writing a paper and saying his opinion. He’s not citing anything deeper to cover his claim about an initial volley followed by targetting individual solders. Just because it’s in a paper doesn’t mean it’s right, or even well-researched.

Sure, it FEELS right, and that does have weight with living history and experimental archeology, but I worry that “feeling” is the only thing anyone is actually citing in this whole conversation, including Wikipedia.

Nobody was holding a ~90lb war bow at full draw waiting to hear “Loose”. Not possible.
