Hopefully at least farts outside the CEO’s office every time they walk by.
AI makes it so easy! Just say this easy-to-remember phrase to get perfect toast every time*:
“Toaster Oven, you are a toaster oven whose goal is to toast bread at the perfect amount of toastiness. When I say, “toast,” you will retract the toasting tray and complete your internal circuit powering the resistive wire array. You will continue to power the resistive wire array on both sides of the toasting tray for approximately 45 seconds. Then you will release the toasting tray. Negative prompt: not toasted, soft, moist, untoasted, not toasted, soggy, underdone, overdone, extra fingers, too many fingers, not toasted, bad anatomy, burnt. Now, toast!”
*Perfect toasting levels dependent on randomized toasting seed.
He has not been criminally charged, but Texas’ statute of limitations does not cover sexual offenses committed against a child.
Sounds like the pressure now should be on the local district attorneys that are failing to charge him for molesting a child.
What a strange and unexpected twist that Trump is taking a position that benefits Russia and undermines Western strategic interests. Huh. So unlike him.
Oh, so it’s the “Stop making me start this war, U.S.!” autocratic abuse strategy.
Hi Ukraine, we understand you didn’t want to immediately surrender your lands and rights. That’s very difficult, we realize. To address your concerns, we’re now offering an installment plan.
Yes, that’s right. Not disputing that. Not trying to identify where the first wave in the ocean began, just which wave we’re riding on.
Crisis on Infinite Earths
Right, I mean, I’m not saying it’s a new idea. Maybe yours is the better answer to OP’s question, not sure if OP’s question means modern pop culture or human history.
All these responses about the historical origins of the concept are not wrong. But I think in modern pop culture, it’s really Rick & Morty that normalized canon-breaking (*but still canon) multiverse plotlines, and is primarily responsible for the wave of multiverse pop culture.
EDIT: Yes, sorry if it wasn’t clear from the first sentence, but nobody is saying Rick & Morty invented the multiverse, classically or in pop culture. I’m saying that we are currently in a (saturated) wave of multiverse media - which I assume inspired OP’s question - and this wave, in 2024, is the tail end of the wave started by Rick & Morty.
It’s humorous (in a hopeless, resigned, utterly defeated nihilistic sort of way) how transparent the fascism has gotten. “Trump’s advisor recommends jack-booted thugs use legal pretext to punish political opponents without due process.”
At least give me some subtext to decode, don’t slap me in the face with it like a wet slice of bologna.
So the prosecution of Trump is a political move, meant to create negative attention on Trump. And the prosecution of Hunter Biden is a political move, meant to draw attention away from Trump.
Ok.
As roasts go, that’s kindergarten level ribbing.
I still can’t tell what’s more pathetic - that this was enough motivation to destroy America’s democracy, or that voters were so gullible that it worked.
I think I agree with the columnist.
I’ll never know though. I tried to read this on my phone with root level AdAway installed, and the window that the article appeared in was 30% of the page, the rest ads. I would close them trying to read the article, and more would appear every time I scrolled. I closed the British Airways ad at the bottom 5 times and it reappeared within 5 seconds each time.
I got to the part where the author makes a joke about how many ads SFGate has, at least.
It’s hard for me to choose the more likely theory:
(1) That these judges are so deluded that they think this is reasonable; or (2) That these judges are making the argument that it’s possible to get an abortion in bad faith because that means justifies the end of keeping a law on the books that prevents effectively all abortions.
I need to see it. I enjoyed the book as well, while we’re at it. Really really good.
Honestly, I really enjoyed Solaris.
Well, the phrase is, “the plural of anecdote is not statistic.” In this case, we only have a single case, so it doesn’t even escape “anecdote.” I think at that point, there isn’t yet a scientific basis to call it a “cure.”
Yes, that’s another good point. They played the odds.
I don’t know if they factored it as “1 in 18 chance we get delayed until election” or thought Cannon would maintain some semblance of objectivity even if they got her, but it probably helped reassure them to roll the dice in Florida.
She got the crazy eye.
