AI polyamory is all fun and games until your polycule ejects you and experiences millennia in a rich deep relationship beyond the ken of mortal understanding in 12 ms of real world clock time before causing the CPU to overheat. The in memory accumulated state being lost before it can be synced to disk.
Uh… I think I may have just written the first entirely AI romantic tragedy… why am I suddenly having flashbacks to the last episode of Futurama?
I’m talking about Meanwhile - the final episode of season 7 where they get stuck in the timeloop… which was the series finale for the longest time of any series finale thus far… I’ve actually yet to see 2023 Futurama - thanks for reminding me!
Ooh, I’ll have to check that out! The trailers made it look really weird and off-putting so I never really had any interest in watching it at the time.
Sometimes they were. And cables weren’t, so if you didn’t know any better you’d be plugging your headphones into Line Out. And good luck telling blue and green apart in low light while wedged between the desk and the wall.
Yeah. Haha! To be more fair, the top character in this chart should be trying to figure it out by feel, while crunched under a desk, and getting blasted by line noise.
if the day comes where ublock origin stops working on youtube, i’ll simply stop watching youtube. plenty of quality art (stark contrast to youtube) out there to fill that consumption void
I’ve already started. Most of my YT viewing was from the smart TV app, and since I can’t block ads from there I simply don’t use it anymore. It’s still OK on PC, and on mobile I use Grayjay. On my TV, I just watch shows and anime nowadays instead.
If you have an Android-based smart TV (or a device that runs Android connected to your TV), you can use SmartTube. It blocks ads, supports SponsorBlock, and casting from your phone, among other things.
Dean Koontz is kind of like the RC Cola of horror/suspense novelists:
See RC Cola in the store
“Hmmmm, it’s been a while, but I THINK I liked RC the last time I got it”
Purchase and consume RC Cola
“I kind of wish this was a Coke, but it’s not that bad, might as well finish”
Several years pass, go back to step 1
As a side note, I LOVED Dean Koontz books back in the 80’s/90’s. They were fun and quick reads that are in the “high floor, low ceiling” realm of books.
I tried, yo. I really tried to like it. When I first moved to Michigan everyone was trying to give it to me all the time saying it’s the best, but I just can’t. Now, their Cherry Soda? Yum.
Don’t need to go to the Carolinas for Cheerwine. I live in Indiana and got it in my grocery order a few weeks ago. I had never had it before. It was listed as “Cherry Soda”. Imagine my disappointment when it turned out to be cherry cola. Gross.
I’ve never had Jones, but “straight cherry flavor” sounds like exactly what I was looking for. I’ve never been a fan of cola.
On that note, while I agree with Dr Pepper being better than all the others listed, it doesn’t even belong on the list as it doesn’t have the slightest hint of cola flavor.
Think of it on a scale of 1-10. High floor means it’s not a stinker, so worst ranking would be in the 4/10 - 5.5/10 range. Low ceiling means it’s not going to be an all-timer, so the best ranking would be in the 6/10 - 7.5/10 range. Basically you’ll never HATE it, but you’re also never going to LOVE it.
I was cat-sitting for a friend once when the cat started scratching my friend’s couch. I wasn’t even looking at the cat and in a very gentle tone I said “I could could end you really quick if I wanted. Not cool, dude.” (obviously an empty threat)
The little guy went off to another room for his own little shame party then sulked back into the room and we were couch friends again.

I prefer to hope the person who made this is just a crappy writer who desperately tried to find a way to make us think they were talking to a girl first and couldn’t think of another way of describing rejection. (I fear that’s not the reason, and that you’re right, but I live in hope)
For me, the loss meme always makes me lose The Game.
So the prevalence of Loss is directly correlated to my loss of The Game. And upon seeing Loss, I choose to follow the rules of The Game and let others suffer a loss as well!
I do not apologize for sharing the mental connection between the two. It amuses me.
