Another way that works is just to catch them on a downward tangent to their current fall trajectory, but rapidly slowing down and then turning back up. It means your scenario has to have enough vertical space to perform this maneuver, but not necessarily a lot–even a very small downward deceleration will turn death into bruises, because it’s like falling into padding.

The missing words are “shitty” and “fucking”, btw. I feel like we’re getting crap posts like this from bots that aren’t willing to tailor their posts for places where naughty words are allowed. Or reposts of bots’ output. Either way, I’m tired of it.

I don’t care for a lot of what Apple does, but there’s no denying they understand how to make money–and how to avoid losing it.

It made them nervous because someone might put parts of the original source into Wine. You can’t do that in a rewrite in a different language, it doesn’t even make sense. The thing the people in this screenshot are gloating about isn’t even relevant to this license.

OK wtf is with the posts about “western game dev”, as if that has anything at all to do with disk space?

If only there were some context clues here to figure out which specific company I was talking about.

If we’re talking about employees, then yes.

If we’re talking about workers, then no, not a worker.

I’m not gonna look it up, but who recently bought Subway and is now cashing in on tanking it so they can sell the corpse?

It’s more than that, though. A car is essentially an elevated trapezoid in cross-section, and you’re sitting near the narrow top of the trapezoid. A Ford F-150 is essentially the same thing, but slightly less tapered and the base is lifted higher up. Either way, you’re squeezed into a lot less than that 6.66’ of width. Private automobile doors are also much thicker than bus doors, there’s space allocated for airbags, there’s stuff on the inside of the door that takes up some of the width.

A bus is essentially a rectangular prism projected all the way back. It uses the FULL 8’4, minus the width of the walls, for every row of seats. So it’s probably more like 3-4’ extra width compared to a car.

There’s a lesson here for lurkers looking at this conversation :-) Block people all you want. You don’t need a good reason. There’s no Socratic Method Fairy who’s gonna get mad at you for refusing to engage with bad faith arguments, lying, or abuse. Just click on the username, the block button is near the top and pretty big.

About to block a few accounts here myself.

Wouldn’t even take a month, just prepay for those reserved instances.

And you as the operator of the bot would just end up in a war with people who have different ways of expressing the same thing without using those words. You’d be spending all your time doing that, and lest we forget, there are a lot more people who want to disrupt these bots than there are people operating them. So you’d lose that fight. You couldn’t win without writing a preprocessor so strict that the bot would be trivially detectable anyway! In fact, even a very loose preprocessor is trivially detectable if you know its trigger words.

The thing is, they know this. Having a few bots get busted like this isn’t that big a deal, any more than having a few propaganda posters torn off of walls. You have more posters, and more bots. The goal wasn’t to cover every single wall, just to poison the discourse.

This is exactly why I have a whiteboard in my bathroom for brilliant ideas, and toilet paper in conference rooms for when I wanna take a shit

Thank you for using POV correctly

If you’re not getting a date, I guarantee you, the word “coffee” in your profile is not the reason.

This kid’s full name is Fortran Sucksdontlearnit Johnson. His parents actually hated Fortran. Imagine the disappointment they’re about to experience.

Well, the best part of 5 minutes is that first 30 seconds; the rest is kinda boring. So maybe they pissed themselves for 30 seconds.
