I'd totally want to make a crop circle if I had the chance. At least in theory, speaking as someone who's never lived among the amber waves of grain.

Stick 'n poke, anyone? :psyduck:
snubnose:
I once talked to a guy who had destroyed his hand and much of his eyesight with an explosion, while working on creating a bomb. The whole talk was about how I should totally start in demolitions, too. I kindly refrained from telling him what I was actually thinking, just to spare his feelings.
It might be my age but I have no clue why I would need to paint something on my body. That just seems silly to me.
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: DSL on 01 Feb 2022, 09:58 ---Never understood the appeal of being a "cool kid." The small cadre of self-appointed "cool kids" at my small town high school seemed to be too preoccupied with being like one another. Oddly enough, no one else wanted anything to do with them, either.
Decades later, I'm back in that same small town. Post-scholastic life has not been kind to the "cool kids."
--- End quote ---
Somewhere in my archives I have an eloquent letter someone wrote to a godchild. I would, rightly or wrongly, paraphrase it as saying that the kids at the cool kids's table are not to be envied, because they are slaves to that table. Every move they make has to be calculated to status in the clique. Give up trying for that, and you're free to master the cello or go to the library to explore strange news worlds.
_Islanio:
New comic.
Is that a factory owned by Amazon?
Farideh:
This comic is making me think. How many rights do AI workers have? Humans can 'only' get fired, but AIs can get disembodied. Where does their consciousness go when this happens, back to the storage farm or something? Can they appeal when something like this happens? It would seem to me that being involuntarily disembodied can be quite a traumatic experience, given the level of integration that some of them have with their chassis. This must be getting quite personal for Roko, she can relate to the experience.
