The idea that Asimov’s laws of robotics are an actual set of guidelines for building robots is laughable

“Kim deserves better” is weird to me because the scenario where kim likes harry does occur if you play as detective du bois instead of tequila sunset

Starring this post to remind myself to read the book discussed in the article

Odd Taxi is fantastic, easily my favorite anime in recent years. I also want to recommend sore dake ga neck (weirdish story about convenience store workers, I liked the voice acting) and the great passage (slice of life about a dictionary’s editorial staff) Edit: I can’t believe I forgot this but Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju is about a man who gets released from prison and immediately apprentices himself to a rakugo master who has never taken apprentices before. It’s one of my favorites, I highly recommend it

This is how neurotypical people react when you don’t want to be friends with them

my guess is that the buildings are large so people can fit inside

To be pedantic, octopi comes from the misconception that octopus is a second-declension noun in Latin when it’s actually a third-declension noun. If you were writing Latin, you’d still want octopodes

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. A psychologist is sent to a station in orbit around a planet covered by a sentient ocean to determine if research on it should continue. Lem’s work consistently blows my mind, actually–other favorites are His Master’s Voice (memoirs of a mathematician working on a project to decipher what might be a message from extraterrestrials) and Peace on Earth (an adventurer returns from a trip to the moon with his brain bisected, and the half that remembers what happened is both unable and unwilling to communicate it).

This isn’t a map of countries’ largest trading partners, it’s a map showing whether the US or China is the larger trading partner for each country

It’s Nastume’s Book of Friends for me

I don’t know if this question was rhetorical but Kim likes it when you make level-headed decisions and say correct things about the case. Basically, he likes it when you have your shit together. On the flip side, he doesn’t like it when you insult people or behave recklessly. If you really want a reference, you can search the variables on fayde–ReputationGrows(“Kim”) and ReputationLowers(“Kim”)–to see which dialogue options will affect your reputation. You can’t go into his room until after the tribunal, but I think you can go in regardless of what he thinks about you.

The kind of name you’re going for will obviously depend on your genre, but I used the method described here [https://rpubs.com/tarakc02/name-project-1] to build a fake name generator. It occasionally comes up with something really out there, and occasionally comes up with a name that actually exists in real life, but for the most part it gives a lot of good fake names that sound reasonable enough for it to be easy on the reader. I also like behindthename’s random name generator [behindthename.com/random/] because you can get interesting, unique names that are still plausible for real people. When neither of these is satisfactory, I look up lists of small towns and borrow one of their names.

I thought he was just going to lend it to me for a minute… I thought I would be able to give it back to him after… I wanted to give the pen back please believe me lieutenant

The true meaning of christmas is making my whole family eat my cooking

The person who mentioned that oop compared “men” and “girls” wasn’t nitpicking, they were drawing attention to the sexist framing of the question. Adult women aren’t children.

check out HerbMessiah on youtube, they have some cool guides on movement and weapon tech

Check out the divide new york caucus, it’s hilarious

Now take a break

I take every chance I get to recommend Dark Water (2002). It’s a supernatural movie that takes advantage of our inherent fear of drowning, but more importantly, it’s about the main character’s struggle to hold onto her daughter in the face of the paranormal events she’s experiencing, the paranoia they’re causing her, and a custody battle with her ex in the aftermath of their divorce. Maybe I was just going through a hard time when I first watched it, but it had me in tears
