Anybody got a sexy mnemonic that includes subphylum, subclass, superorder, suborder, etc? Or, more to the point, what taxonomic system gets us to the orgy the fastest?

I want to introduce Node 4-7 to Ned the nanite from MST3k. He doesn't go to the john without a service order.

Once upon a time there were two types of Dairy Queens. Some were just ice cream, but the ones called "Dairy Queen Braizer" sold hot food too. Eventually they all sold hot food.

Let's be real, those helmets were designed to frame George Kirk's glorious mustache.

Spicy food never had an effect on my stomach until one day in my late 30's. Now there's a fuzzy threshold where I'm OK, but there's a limit. A whole serving of my favorite bulgogi is always too much.

I forgot the video for that song is all just clips from 9 1/2 Weeks with random shots of Joe Cocker shoved in to kill the mood. So we should all be reminded of that important aphorism, "it's all fun and games until some wall street broker pours honey in your vagina."

It just exists. It's not its fault it distorts spacetime around it until it becomes one of those coin donation funnels at the mall.

Not names, just adjectives.

They're even the right colors for my 6.5lb spotted lady and 14lb orange torpedo

It was a joke. I feel like we're all living Brazil 2.

Holy crap! I just got used to thinking that its been over a year since the blackout... but that shocking realization was a year ago now. Thanks, everyone!

Wait, those weren't made as a prop for Brazil 2?

The woman, Elisha Young, is the paper's former business manager. She was arrested in Whitehall, Ohio, after a nationwide warrant was sent out for her arrest.

 

I'd usually don't log my crimes so I don't need to delete them. But I guess that's why I'll never be the Emissary.

 

Local to me in Oregon, anyway.

I was listening to music at work today and when Bonnie Tyler came on, this popped into my head. Image and title. This place has broken my brain.

In a good way.

 

A team of researchers who say they are from the University of Zurich ran an “unauthorized,” large-scale experiment in which they secretly deployed AI-powered bots into a popular debate subreddit called r/changemyview in an attempt to research whether AI could be used to change people’s minds about contentious topics.

more than 1,700 comments made by AI bots

The bots made more than a thousand comments over the course of several months and at times pretended to be a “rape victim,” a “Black man” who was opposed to the Black Lives Matter movement, someone who “work[s] at a domestic violence shelter,” and a bot who suggested that specific types of criminals should not be rehabilitated.

The experiment was revealed over the weekend in a post by moderators of the r/changemyview subreddit, which has more than 3.8 million subscribers. In the post, the moderators said they were unaware of the experiment while it was going on and only found out about it after the researchers disclosed it after the experiment had already been run. In the post, moderators told users they “have a right to know about this experiment,” and that posters in the subreddit had been subject to “psychological manipulation” by the bots.
