Overdue bills.

Born during the very last month of the previous millennium, but I don’t know what generation that is.

Or, in Eastern countries, the five precepts.

My most common thought of all time or my most common that appears unprovoked?

My most common thought of all time is, just generally, about how mentally misguided humans are in general. In my experience, people predominantly have an “ask questions later” approach to things, and then when they do finally “ask the question”, it’s “how do I excuse myself”. My whole life, and everything I’ve learned from history, is shaped by this, and they hate pushback. If humanity killed someone for agreeing, in time, would they be remembered as a philosopher or a crazy person since inclination rules?

My most common thought that appears unprovoked is similar, it deals with the situations I’ve been witness to in the name of what I described and trying to think out what the implications actually are and what would be in the best interest of each situation. I recently watched a show about a guy who built 100 houses for people in an impoverished country, and people reacted to this act of charity by complaining he was continuing colonialism. Sometimes “I can’t even” is a perfect mood descriptor.

I forgot how the conversation went, but one day, a conversation I had with someone about comprehensibility (which was often an issue) compelled me to talk to an AI, a talk which I remember from the fact the AI did now have such issues as the complaining humans had.

The ancient Romans discovered evolution, though it worked a lot differently, with them theorizing we came from fish and that one day some guy with arms and legs burst out of a mother fish. According to the theory, things probably got incredibly awkward at family reunions.

This is the one I’d recommend.

Is that the one robot from Futurama who binges grapes?

The Wii U was an amazing concept that got abandoned too early. My Wii U which I love still collects dust for this reason.

Quince cider if they have it, but typically they don’t, and I end up buying it for myself at expensive prices, which one might argue is a good buffer. It has a natural tingy taste (for me anyways) and an non-static level of alcohol content, which is true of cider in general.

Inkblot Art is a buggy, authoritarian mess that prevents people from seeing anything if not logged in. That’s the last thing I’d recommend.

No, but a president is higher in status than a diplomat, who in the US don’t have to face minor consequences either. I’m not saying this to support presidents being immune to the law (in fact, you could say it goes against campaign promises to claim you’ll be a civil governor and then be authoritarian), I’m just saying this has been on the drawing board for a while and was far from something that was just recently whipped out. Even state governors (and mayors as well) have gotten away with some awful things by swerving the powers that be, the governor of New York a few years ago systemically killed the elderly during covid and the main concern was not that but his affairs like was the case with Bill Clinton.

Despite the alarm, it’s nothing new though. International diplomats cite immunity to prosecution to get out of paying for speeding tickets on a daily basis.

What about them is troubling?

May I introduce you to Side 7?

Its legacy as this place potentially and magically fulfilling the hopes of having the answers to one’s questions far exceeds reasonability, especially given the ordinariness of its circumstances/contents, and combine that with the fact that what they were known for is performing human experimentation on live prisoners, all without the ability to understand these experiments enough to start forming a unified concept of medicine around it, since this is Ancient Greece/Egypt we’re talking about.

Bathhouses. The local Quicklee’s just doesn’t do it.

Which ones?

The destruction of the library of Alexandria was a win.

Many people wouldn’t know I’m not a kid if they spent all day interactively standing behind me in a queue.
