Liquor before beer, you're in the clear."
I essentially live my entire life by those words.
It might just be the stuff of frat legends or old wives' tales, but mixing different types of alcohol in a single night can be hazardous to your health, and result in hangovers that last more than one day.
At least, that's my experience. -

The ultimate combo is women/lolis/trannies though.
I'd probably proceed with extreme caution there.
There's having an unlimited dating pool, and then there's, you know, legal, ethical, and practical limitations.
Also, you forgot farm and jungle animals.
There be some fine ass female non-human primates. Bonobo bitches be fine as hell. -
2018-12-14 at 1:42 AM UTC in I present to thee, the black magic wizardry of converting famous speeches to use the least syllables possible...Holy shit, I just realized the implications this could have for academic plagiarism.
I could sell papers online to college students.
If it's a common enough topic they have to write it on, I can just find another paper on the subject, and swap every few words for one with a low lexical distance, and boom, unlimited variations available.
Except I wouldn't do that though because academic integrity is important to me.
Not even playin' when I say that. I could prolly get hella rich off of this, but I refuse to because academic plagiarism isn't right. -

Fuck yeah.
Time to go to the liquor store to refuel.
I'm off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz… -

As it just so happens.
Eerie, isn't it?

2018-12-14 at 1:09 AM UTC in If you had unlimited resourcesI actually like some of the appeal of a certain Neo-Luddite way of life. Henry David Thoreau's Walden is one of my favorite books I've ever read.
I also plan on living off-grid at some point.
But, the caveat is that I will still have some electronic devices, including fancy, high-tech computer technology.
It'll all be run on solar power, though, and maybe a bit of hydroelectric energy.
You can be in touch with nature and still embrace technology.
It's not a mutually exclusive dichotomy. -
2018-12-14 at 1:03 AM UTC in Does anybody else notice that everybody who abused bundy as a teenager is essentially retarded?I did a few marijuanas in my time.
And like 100 heroins.
And alcohols? Oh man, close to a million alcohols probably. -

Originally posted by Ghost I would feel bad for the Amazon delivery people if that happened.
Well, technically that's FedEx/UPS/CanadaPost/USPostalService/Purolator/Etc...
They aren't Amazon delivery people exclusively (not yet, at least).
Maybe they'll be hired to fly the drones before they're fully automated.
Then, it's gonna suck for a lot people.
Lots of jobs are gonna be automated in the future though.
Heck, AI-based medical doctors are outdiagnosing human doctors now, I think. -

I just know it. -

It's not that fancy.
It just provides one level of brightness, and you're supposed to put like, on your desk or whatever for only like 20 minutes out of the day. Or something like that.
But those lights that gradually change hues throughout the day... Now I'm back on Amazon again, damnit. -

I don't know why I didn't order it sooner, like maybe right after making that one thread. -

Originally posted by aldra I actually thought that's what you were talking about after skimming OP
Nah, it's just about a useless bit of code I wrote to minimize the number of syllables used in a string of text.
I can't think of a single practical use for it.
Maybe if it were tweaked a bit better, it could be used as a program that essentially "dumbs down" a string of text.
Kinda like an automated version of Simple Wikipedia or whatever it's called.
Funnily enough, I think it could be used in the opposite direction for a lot of amusement. You could multiply the pretentiousness of a piece of text to the nth degree. That might at least be more entertaining. -
2018-12-13 at 11:58 PM UTC in Waiting for Purolator/UPS/FedEx/etc...I wanna get drunk, but I just know if I leave home to go to the liquor store, even if I'm gone for just like 20 minutes, that's when they will attempt their delivery.
To occupy myself, I just spent hours writing some of the least practical/useful code I have ever written (it basically just reduces the number of syllables used in a given string of text, such as a famous speech).
WTF? When is Amazon gonna have those automated package-delivering drones...? Complete with GPS tracking so you can know exactly where your package is at any given moment, and can thus determine a more precise ETA than "sometime by the end of the day". That is an enormous window of time. -
