I have a bicycle and still use the bikeshare like 25% of the time. I've had a bike stolen, and I sometimes want to go one way (with metro or Uber/Lyft covering the return route).

Never thought of that. Thanks for the idea

I'm not sure I can buy this. We have the skillset to build AGI again if we built it once - we already invented transformers.

If ASI decides to set us back by destroying all our technology and it goes out on its own, then most of us would probably die from famine.

Maybe there's a version where we create an ASI but it seems us so insignificant as to never talk to us and disappears into its own realm. But then all it takes is another actor to create another one (thanks to open source) that doesn't behave that way. So ultimately we'd be back to square one.

I just can't really imagine a world where ASI is predestined to not interact with us, so I'm fully in belief of OPs statement, but potentially more pessimistic than them.

That's OK, Armenian livestock are not cowmunists anyways.

Comparing furries to pedos is idiotic. Comparing lgbtq to pedos is disgusting. No one is advocating for “pedo rights” that’s a fing insane take.

Prepare for a PM from OP asking why you specifically don't like this as if you're the only person who thinks this is fucking dumb and self-aggrandizing.

Any high level politician who drives himself around in his personally owned minivan is okay in my book.

loved arm time, high hopes for this

In your shoes, I'd suggest to your husband that he tell HR, or at least his boss, about the prying, personal questions and attention he's getting from this woman, and that he tell her that he won't be discussing his personal life or you. Because this sounds like someone who is either trying to insinuate herself into his life, or trying to set him up in some way.

You must be fun at parties.

Still have mine and have been using it for 20+ years now absolutely one of my favorite consoles good find!

"Ugh....." She sighed and rolled her eyes at me. "Dad, I hate this story..."

I couldn't help but smile gently at her protests. "My dearest Kalinda," I whispered as Ibrushed a lock of her shimmering crimson hair from her face. "This isn't just the sappy story of your father falling in love with your mother..."

"But it IS that, isn't it?" she grumbled with a sneer.

I laughed, honestly more heartily and I meant to. "You are most definitely your mother's daughter!" I cradled her cheek in my palm, her scaly patches cold compared to the human skin covering most of her face. "Yes, that is part of it," She tossed her head back against the pillow in frustration. "BUT!" I hastily added, "It's more a story about how YOU made the world a better place."

She lay still in her bed a moment before tilting her face oh so slightly to barely meet my gaze. "....I'm listening..."

"Some many years ago, in the southern kingdoms, a valiant knight, Parson, was in the dueling finals of the Assesment Tourney." I adopted a battle stance to emphasize my point. "The King Regent nodded to Parson, a longtime friend and protector of his. They had known each other since they were but children. Parson had taught him much of swordmanship, and vailiantly defended him in his budding rule against many an assassin...."

"I KNOW, dad!" Kalinda kicked her sheets. "You were the world's greatest swordsman, countless battles, never lost a fight, blah blah blah..."

I chuckled. "Sorry Princess, you know your father tends to ramble..." She just sternly glared at me, but her attion was obviously rapt with how focused her gaze was. "...So, yes I won the last duel to win the Toruney. I kneeled as the King Reagent strode over to me and offered him my sword. He took it and charged me with the most difficult quest, for scoring the highest in the assesments." My grin couldn't help but fade as I thought of it. I wonder what He would say if he could see how that quest had all turned out. "Our kingdom had long been at war with the Dragons to the North, many skirmishes had resulted in countless casualties between the two civilizations," I grit my teeth, some bitterness that never left after all these years. "Including my father..."

Kalinda's yellow eyes widened, and her reptilian irises shone as she watched me. "....you never told me that..."

I drew a long breath to settle myself. "I know. But if you are really going to know the story, it is important that you know ALL of it..." I lightly gripped her hand and gave a loving squeeze. "I don't regret anything from this story, because in the end it all led to you and your mother. But part of growth is pain, and though I grew from my journey, it came from a place of hatred and anger."

Her tail swished slowly under her covers in wonder. "You used to HATE dragons...?"

I forced a smile to her, but her face told me she could call my bluff, yet she chose not to. "I did. Back then, we were conditioned through stories and propaganda that the dragons were at all out war with us, and only by a strong military front were the knights and soldiers of our kingdom, your grandfather included, able to hold the dragon horde back so the citizens could enjoy some semblance of peace."

Doesn't matter how many staples when they are company staples my dude.

Dresden and Coventry. Berlin and London. The butcher's bill has never been fully tallied.

I have seen this movie. No one even remotely looking like Anya is in the movie.

Makes sense after it had already fallen 30% last year. Smart.

I was on the opposite side of this trade but with a lot more $$$

I also like the general principle that a good prank requires more effort from the prankster than the mark.

PG Plaza has a pretty good selection and it’s across the street from the Hyattsville Crossing station. The Target is attached to an old school indoor shopping mall, so if you don’t find what you need, there are a lot of other stores you could visit.

Edit: I forgot- they changed the name of the mall to the Mall at Prince George’s.

Which is funny because they spent a lot of money to redo floors at 500 Grant Street around 2018/2019.
