Cue the new fun: when in a meeting, quietly whisper Dovahkiin, and have your friend shudder a little and rattle the desk.

Some of it is a little too much, browsing all. I think I once saw an account with a dude and a very ugly sex doll.

We stand on the shoulders of giants. I don't know how many of us repeated the experiments in our chemistry textbooks to prove that what was claimed was correct. A few piddling things here and there, but when did I get to build a nuclear bomb?

current evidence suggests that your body has to re-learn what’s good and what’s bad almost from scratch

While that's horrifying, I wonder if it could offer a glimpse into ways to get rid of allergies.

That's always how it starts...

I mean, how zany can we get?

Just have old man potter bribe some federal officials to investigate the money handling at the savings&loan, and the honesty of george and friends will put them in the hot seat.

Decision point (1): (A) George becomes depressed again OR (B) George gets angry

If (A), good ole clarence has to come back because his wings are in jeopardy. Unbeknownst to the audience, but revealed throughout the movie, is that clarence wasn't very successful in his other assignments. If he can't save his first mission from reversing course, his wings are going to be ripped off and he'll be cast from heaven. He didn't sin, so he won't fall to hell, but limbo is a terrible place to be for eternity. This creates a good and proper tension in him that causes haste to make waste, and leads to cascading issues with his own rising fears.

If (B), george starts turning the town into proper bank-hating lads and lasses, gearing towards a showdown with the moneymen of the government and mr. potter's private army, bolstered by the townsfolk who can't get it into their head that potter wants them to be nothing more than slaves that slurp up the slop that trickles down from his ownership of all the land, factories, and businesses. A full on riot/revolution is just too much death for heaven to stomach, so down comes clarence to right the course. The problem? Clarence pretty much agrees with george on the causes, but isn't able or willing to have violence be the answer. As he desperately tries to head off the rising tensions in town (mostly between the peons lining up for george or potter), his angelic self realizes just how fucked the human race has become (let's not make george's side entirely angelic here, which my bad description sort of give the impression of), and starts to question why angels like him must come down if it always turns out like this. Perhaps the climax of the movie would be clarence trying to stop the true 'big battle' from beginning by revealing his angelic self and wings, and one or both of the sides just don't care.

Big themes for both would be how the subversive nature of man can't be arsed to follow some heavenly plan, and of course the love of money (potter's sin, but have the feds and their desire to uphold proper laws be a counterpoint to it just being about greed) being a primary driver for human suffering.

so instead they bribed lots of game developers to make things Epic exclusive.

Fuck Epic. I just lost the ability to play rocket league because they bought the developers, ripped it off of steam, and now force you to agree to some wickedly invasive TOS to have an epic account.

Some of these I roughly get, but manjaro, ~~facebook~~ the other f ;), and opensuse just don't make sense to me.

Stockings? Or maybe just get some leggings for average folks and make garter belt hooks of them.

A computer wouldn’t see why they would break a fictional arm so a parental figure could give them a hand

No computer 'sees' any of the logic behind the language. It's all fancy tables and probabilities from beforehand. That's why there was the famous example of the LLM telling that girl to off herself when she was doing her homework. If the learning datasets include anything like reddit, some LLM may answer or respond (in)appropriately to those ideas.

I hated to be the voice of reason whenever someone brought up sex on the beach or in the actual waves, but damn do some people need to learn that water is not a lubricant, and sand is just as bad as anakin whined about when in your crevices.
