Words that end and start with the same letter are called proculinaries and are thought to be comforting and are commonly used in the haberdashery business, words like draped, enrobe, rewear and lionel. The continents were officially delineated in 1812 ostensibly by one man, Wilken Blithely who was heir to the Flying Weaver estate, haberdashers to the royal houses of Europa since 1713.

Seeing second suffix made me think of a group of people sitting around a table drinking tea and saying these suffixes are really useful but really we need a second layer. And then someone says we could have a second layer of prefixes too and everyone says for Buddha’s sake Lobsang that would be much too complicated.

There is that, but in a more general sense I think people like conspiracies because they have a deep need to believe that there is an intelligent direction to human affairs, even if it is malign, and that the world is not actually chaotic and uncontrolled at the largest scale. It stems I suppose from infancy when even while we pushed at them we needed to know the unfathomable rules our parents set came from a better understanding of things than was available to us.

Have you considered Spiegel im Spiegel.

The only containers I have are Tupperware, are they secure do you know.

The inventor was bullied at school and honestly I can see why.

Certainly at the time there was talk of coercion, there was talk the developers had been asked to put in a backdoor, had refused and then been encouraged to cease and desist their work on TrueCrypt and provide written recommendation of BitLocker, the wording of which did not seem to be their own. But people like conspiracies, maybe the authors did just move on, and if that was encouraged it probably was not as sinister as suggested. Security and privacy will always be duking it out.

They freeze those best buy feckers in transit that is why they crunch and are pulpy at the same time, bananas should not have that texture. And the banana is smart, banana knows it lost time, banana speeds up its death cycle once released from cold place, banana not fooled.

You mean that thing everyone knew about since the authorities derailed open-source TrueCrypt and forced them to message their users that they should migrate to BitLocker?

I don’t think they are attacking our brains they are learning from our brains how to manage the world we have created. We are happily training them to inherit our institutions and any stupefying effects these models might have are probably around the least of the problems they will present to us. And we stopped running not because of cars but because of calories.

Sugar is used as a preservative but until you make your own jam you have no conception of how much sugar is used, jam is just jelly for adults.

This has a real Darwinian feel to it, if you open your finances to AI models just generally then you probably have it coming. That said twenty years ago giving free access to your bank account to something like Google Wallet would have been unthinkable yet here we are.

Self preservation is a natural high priority instinct in all organisms so most people are fairly pro about it and any few that are not will not last long enough to comment here. If you are referring to cryogenics when you say self preservation then I regard that as just a slightly desperate and unscientific example of the instinctual self preservation I mentioned first.

Would that it were so simple.

Just because the asteroid is quite goldy doesn’t mean it cant be irony too.

It is almost like non technical people who can not follow technical advice are making all the decisions.

There is probably some irony in the artist rendered likeness resembling a double siloed Death star.

I will NOT comprehend basic science.

Yes the last 250 years.
