Of course not. I’m in love with a whole person, not her appearance. I love her fierce intellect, her passion for justice, her wanderer’s spirit. I love that we can sit together and watch anything only for it to lead to a new and endlessly fascinating discussion.

Makeup doesn’t affect any of that.

I like how makeup highlights her favorite features or hides when she feels tired or insecure. I like that it helps her feel more fully herself. I think it’s great that makeup can do that for her.

She will always be attractive to me for who she is. How she looked may have helped me first talk to her, but who she is has kept us talking for 16 years.

I’m surprised you’ve made it this long without hearing about the sonic sunglasses.

Spoilers in that link, of course.

I just felt like the show lost its way a little. Like it doesn’t seem to understand the doctor anymore.

I think Capaldi is a fantastic actor and I love the idea of returning to an older doctor, but I recall an early episode when he duels a swordfighter with a spoon and it made me think of that old Reddit copypasta from the weird girl.

Then the sonic sunglasses?

I just.

I don’t know. It just wasn’t for me.

Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but you’re not missing much.

Moon Reader+ is probably the only thing I still miss from Android.

It requires no restraint if you’re not a monster.

Vice President is the surest path to President in US politics.

Can and absolutely do. Pet is my standard security question and it’s just a standardized password I use only on that field.

Oh, yeah, no world in which I’m paying $4k for being wrong. Good on the other guy for taking your twenty. Good luck and I’ll be watching with interest.

Would that be $2 from me if I lose?

It’s my understanding that, with LLMs, being polite can net better results because they’re trained off human interactions where being polite is better.

It’s not that they care at all, it’s just how language works.

I’ve not seen a study of the phenomenon or even tested it myself, but it seems plausible.

As a former 3a owner this project is entirely awesome to me. Really cool stuff and really well done.

Oh that whole thing is the cope cage! I thought it was just a building behind it or something.

Yeah, I got tired of being the product. It used to be Google phones were significantly cheaper, that’s just not nearly as much a thing anymore.

Then you have to take the additional steps of finding privacy focused roms etc… It just wasn’t worth the savings to me. There’s things about Android I miss, but the fact that my phone is good for years and years is such a game changer.

I have been gradually transitioning over to proton for additional privacy and I’ve basically completely divorced myself from Google at this point.

The grinder for pepper corns. It gives you more flavor than ground pepper.

It’s a hot take! Wouldn’t be good if it weren’t inflammatory.

Pepper Mills are overrated.

I genuinely don’t know what happened after end game. It went from a favorite summer experience to something I couldn’t care less about.

What a shocking mishandling of a valuable asset.

I can’t imagine even getting excited about Avenger’s 5, much less seeing it in theaters.

If you’d told me six years ago that I would write that sentence, I would have laughed at you.

Serious answer:

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I believe in a religion because I’ve found it to be personally beneficial.

I was a pastor for many years and saw much of the best and worst religion had to offer. I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since COVID broke out and don’t know that I ever will again.

My personal beliefs are still a significant part of my life, but I understand why someone would ask the question that spawned this discussion.

I wasn’t double tapping intentionally! That’s the ticket. I was tapping around looking for a collapse trigger and must have occasionally tapped quickly enough to earn a double tap.

Very cool and thanks for making this.
