That’s actually a very good catch.

I didn’t think about the word antecedent, but I would say that there is a slight linguistic difference between an antecedent and a prosequence.

A prosequence is a sequence of events, whereas an antecedent doesn’t have to necessarily be a series of events.

For instance, in order to have a sequel to a book, you have to have the original book. The original book would be the antecedent of the sequel, whereas the prosequence of the sequel would be writing the first book, which led to the series of events that caused the second book to be written.

So every prosequence would be an antecedent, but not every antecedent would be a prosequence.

That being said, I am just making up words, so if the world disagrees with my definitions, then the world gets to choose what they prefer, because that’s how language works.

Just like the creator of the word GIF pronounces it as JIF, even though everyone knows its GIF.

Nah, go hog wild on it. Eat an entire box of high fiber cereal and then go do naked jumping jacks.

I think that would be presequence.

Pro means on behalf of or forward, so a prosequence would be something that pushes the sequence forward, a prosequence would be something like, “you know there is a bomb that is about to go off, and if you do not dismantle it, your child will die. So you must attempt to defuse the bomb at the risk of your own life”.

The knowledge of and opportunity to act to defuse the bomb is the prosequence that has led you to this point.

It could also be something like you were walking by a gas station and your hand started itching, so you went and bought a lottery ticket and won the lottery. The itchy hand would be the prosequence that pushed you towards winning the lottery.

I understand liking AI stuff, but calling it art, I think, is deceptive at best.

I think art requires the intentional minuscule effort of a human being in its foundation. And AI is like other art that has been ground into paper mache and then plastered into the shape of something that resembles art rather than art itself.

While the case could be made that if a human being did that, that that would be art, the fact that a human being did not do it is the reason why it isn’t art.

I don’t think that AI devalues art.

Nobody looks at AI products and goes, wow, this is art.

At least not in and of itself. There could be something to be said for using AI as part of a larger artwork, and that does not devalue the artwork, in my opinion, but AI by itself is not art.

The opening theme from the Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. that’s currently being used in the Olympics.

Oh yeah, and I almost forgot…

You’ve already heard the theme song for this TV show because it was so good they decided to use it in the goddamn Olympics.

Well, except for the fact that lithium fires don’t go out. Like, you have to bury the entire vehicle in water to starve it from oxygen so that the fire will stop burning, and if you take it out of the water, then it will start burning again.

Like, don’t get me wrong. I’m very pro electric vehicle, but the quality of the fire matters just as much as the quantity of the fire.

If you want to go old school, I highly recommend the Adventures of Brisco County Jr. It’s a comedy steampunk cowboy romp featuring Bruce Campbell from the 90s, filmed on the lot where they used to film all of the old spaghetti westerns before they destroyed it.

And one major thing that Linux also does that Windows does not is Linux will never install an application on your computer that you didn’t explicitly tell it to install.

I have uninstalled nopilot on work computers so many times. I run scripts to manually disable and remove it and prevent Windows from installing nopilot, and Windows updates, reverts what I did, and then reinstalls fucking nopilot, and then sneakily launches it in the taskbar where I can’t easily see that it’s running to begin with.

Voluntarily running windows at this point is kind of like voluntarily allowing yourself to be sexually assaulted.

Only weirdos and sad people who don’t know that it could easily not be like that continue to put up with it.

There is a difference between being a contrarian troll and having unpopular opinions.

Be a lightweight to start with and then don’t smoke for a decade. Shit hits harder than the first coffee after a 6 week caffeine break.

I hope I will keep my general knowledge and intelligence but be isekaied to a world with magic because fuck this whole science bullshit.

What do you mean I’m stuck on this planet?

What do you mean if I’m lucky I get 90 years, the last 30 of which suck? The first 30 have also sucked. And from what it looks like the middle 30 is also going to suck.

What do you mean I have to work in a cubicle for like 45 years of my life, which already sucks, but sucks more because of the cubicle?

Fuck this shit, give me some magic, tell science to go suck a fat one.

Yeah, the Mexican dirt weed I used to get as a teenager, you could smoke half a joint by yourself and be buzzed.

I quit when I was 18, but then I moved to a legal state and I took one puff and was legitimately stoned for the rest of the day. Like, could barely control myself.

The modern stuff is super strong.

If I were going to do something like this, I would probably make the wood as flat as possible and then put a high-quality coat of epoxy or some other harder material on top of it and carve the music into that material instead of the wood.

A lot of bands from the 90s to the early 2000s were inspired by Neutral Milk Hotels “In the aeroplane over the sea”.

I mean, what on earth makes you happier than someone you care about being excited to see you?

I mean, you’re not wrong, but also try your best to primary candidates outside of the two parties, if you’re in the US.

While it is true there are no good kings, we should try to get as many halfway decent people in the office as possible.

Once primaries are done, then under no circumstances vote for Republicans. And if the option is between a Democrat that might narrowly win and a third-party candidate that might narrowly win, then vote for the third-party candidate. Otherwise vote for Democrats.

If I remember correctly, it was also a somewhat common method of murdering your husband to drive a nail into his skull. The tiny wound would be easily hidden and apparently quite a few people got away with it.
