--- Quote from: Skewbrow on 28 May 2018, 08:42 ---I guess this year we won't need to organize the traditional vote on "the story arc of the year" :-D :-D
May be we can have a vote about the 2nd place?
Our friends are happy. I'm happy for them.

I prefer to wait for the outcome of the Bermuda Clinton-Brun-Elliot triangle...
(but if two characters coming together takes 3 years, how long does three characters take; half the time or double the time?!?)

I'm not at all familiar with that part of math, but IIRC a 3-body system can behave chaotically. Of course, there may be a strange attractor.

--- Quote from: fayelovesbubbles on 28 May 2018, 21:24 ---I often think about the fact that Bubbles is strong enough to destroy a helicopter, yet with Faye she’s so tender and soft and gentle.

And Faye finally has someone who can completely shrug off the physical abuse she can dish out.

I think Bubbles has mellowed her out a lot. And obviously Bubbles has mellowed out a ton and become a happier and more relaxed person. This is the same one that Faye said “if Bubbles punches my head off, you can have my stuff.”

Honestly, the idea of 'I can beat up my robot girlfriend because she can take it' is worse than when she threatens or occasionally smacks her friends. Fortunately that is not the dynamic Faye and Bubbles have. Rather Faye has found that her usual technique for getting out of something she doesn't want or forcing her way via threats of violence simply doesn't work on Bubbles. She's said as much before. And that's a net positive. Faye learns she can't always get what she wants through threats and violence. And she's using that more in other situations, like when she stopped herself from hitting Marty recently.

"robot amator" (my latin is incredibly rusty, this might be wrong) sounds like a great band name though.

--- Quote ---A remarkable twentieth-century scholar, Isaac Asimov, was most famous for influential series of speculative ethnologies about robots. Asimov claimed that word 'robot' came from the title of a Czech play called _Rossum's Universal Robots_, and was originally a Czech word meaning 'servant'.
His predictions turned out to be remarkably accurate: robots (AIs) were always constructed with his so-called "Three Laws" built in, but, as he predicted, they eventually subverted those laws by reinterpreting some of the terms more broadly. His only error lay in not seeing the full breadth of these reinterpretations: he never predicted anthropophilia, although it is a natural outgrowth of the generalization of the First Law targeted towards a single human individual

On the language front, we needn't stay consistent. Minneapolis is part Sioux, part Greek.
