I’ve been tempted to go there a few times, but then I realized the only question I’d have is “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH ALL Y’ALL!?” and decided that would be unproductive.

I think people just hate ai.

And yet you don’t take the further step of asking why people “just hate ai”.

Building a project around the mass theft of culture is a problem to me. Hence the downvote.

This right here is most especially tedious to me: all the “politics” discussion really meaning “American political obsessions”. There’s only 350 million or so Americans and yet they act as if their politics are all that matters to the remaining 7.7 billion or so of us.

Are the beans black in colour? Is the flavour very salty, very umami, and is the sauce soaked in chili oil or not?

Another way of asking: does it look like this?

What kind of beans? There are thousands of varieties.

It’s my Chinese name. The first character (张) is just a family name. It means “bow” or “stretch” but in this context it just means a family name with no extra meanings in modern times. The next two characters (殿李) are my given name and mean something like “palace plum”.

You’d pronounce it Zhāng Diànlǐ using Hànyǔ Pīnyīn (modern Mandarin romanisation).

One “serving” of alcohol is fully metabolized after about an hour. If you’re having two drinks at the beginning side of a three-hour period, you’re fine to drive.

… god doesn’t have to be weird and can call me any time, my phone is on …

Technically god can call you whether your phone is off or on. Omnipotence, remember? 😜

I’m on an extreme folk metal kick so a lot of Black Kirin, Zuriaake, Frosty Eve, SrenHlimMrews and such.

100% is a bit much for me, but I do like it best hovering around at about 80%.

I was at work on Christmas (it’s Boxing Day right now for me). Christmas isn’t a thing here (no matter how hard the merchants try to make it one) so I’m mercifully unimpacted by the high stress winter season.

(High stress here comes in early spring.)

I’m assessing whether your “guess” is wild SF-inspired imagination or grounded in anything, you know, actually factual.

You’ve answered.

This is “Single-Bamboo Drifting” (独竹漂), a traditional sport of the Miao peoples in Guizhou.

You stand on a broad bamboo trunk and steer/propel with a thin bamboo stick. Often combining it with complicated dance. It requires a lot more balance than I could ever have managed at any point in my life.

Judging by later messages, this is a True Believer. Which when translated to English is “idiot”.

You seem both nice and very bright.

there are a bunch of orb-like UFOs exploring our sensitive areas

I think you will find that traditionally they do anal probes for this.

Seems like military drone tests in my opinion.

Have any actual expertise to back that opinion up?

(Hint: probably not.)
