Thanks for the thoughtful response! I will keep this in mind (I do have a bachelor’s and am a former SE, currently sysadmin).

That’s kind of like telling a poor person they could always go back to school and study to become a doctor, i.e., technically possible but extremely difficult. My understanding is that it is next to impossible to immigrate to Japan unless you have a Japanese parent or are rich and/or a celeb, but would love to be proven wrong! I would love to live there!

Oh it’s a term linked to that industry…

…It’s tangentially related to the porn industry, but primarily, it is also the actual medical terminology many are probably more familiar with, so still wouldn’t be a great idea even in that context. (You get a pass if English is not your first language, otherwise, it should be fairly common knowledge.)

Crazy, how in the heck did he spin that to make himself look good?

Obligatory:

True. Was playing Arkham Knight the other day and thought this nine year old game looked better than at least half of current gen games.

There’s just absolutely no way that the money free world they describe is good for everyone.

Can you elaborate, please? In a hypothetical future where money doesn’t exist and technology has granted everyone the means and freedom to pursue their own interests (as long as those interests aren’t harmful to others, of course), I’m having difficulty understanding why that wouldn’t be amazing. Maybe not perfect, but vastly improved over what we’re stuck with now.

I love trying to out-logic AI chat. I know it’s probably impossible, but still fun. Haven’t got it to do anything against its programming yet, but I can consistently get it to give me the “this chat is over” equivalent line after a handful of exchanges.

The Sticky Bandits, lol!

Don’t they all essentially require internet access to be ‘smart’? I have a LGTV (with WebOS, an app store, etc.) that I basically treat as ‘dumb’ by leaving it disconnected from our network.

Right? Everyone knows the correct plural form of “pokemon” is “pokemons”.

The Mist is also where I first saw him, he did an excellent job in that role.
