So I had a minute of boredom and looked it up.

As it turns out, much like I before E, the "sometimes" rule we learned as children is the fucking opposite of truth.

Y is a consonant when it makes the "yuh" sound in words like yellow and yak.

It's literally always a vowel otherwise.

Did you at any point in this raving lunacy of a rant stop to think that maybe, just maybe the reason people hate AI is because it's bad?

The first computers were astonishingly faster and more accurate than human calculation.

I never learned when Y was a vowel and at this point I'm to afraid to ask.

Space is everywhere, and it's stretching. It isn't expanding per say, it's that everything that is everywhere is getting further apart.

You're thinking of space stretching like an inflated balloon, and that's a decent analogy but it's far more simplistic than reality. If there is some cosmic boundary it would divide everything that is and exists, and the absence of any existence. It's a boundary which light itself could not escape, and all future points of time exist only within that boundary. All of space time would fold back in on itself.

Imagine standing at that boundary and firing an arrow, a thought experiment first described by Lucretius in Pompeii 2000 years ago. He imagined that if he fired an arrow from the edge, then clearly the universe kept going, and if it hit something, then clearly something must exist on the other side.

But the arrow can only fall back in towards the universe at some such theoretical boundary. Because all points in time exist within that boundary.

Which is very similar to a black hole. Which is why some cosmologists have suggested that maybe we live inside one.

That sounds like a guy who would sabotage a condom.

That sounds like a guy who insists on driving.

That sounds like a guy who will get problematically jealous.

Cancel the date, if he reacts like an adult you can always reschedule. I suspect he won't.

A simple toggle, secured with a password would do it. Child's device Y/N. If no, proceed. Your browser or whatever app you're using would only need to see that one setting, and it's not much different than your browser looking at any number of settings on your device.

Shit with TWO toggles, the other being "is this child under the age of 13?" You could even force sites like YouTube actually to comply with federal law about targeting minors with advertising.

But. These laws aren't actually about protecting children, they're about establishing a real identity for every person online.

The online safety act isn't actually about protecting children. That's a smoke screen for a surveillance bill. They want to eliminate anonymity online.

In the future they'll just censor all of the verbs, nouns, and adjectives.

Or, in modern parlance, "In the f*ture th*y'll just c*ns*r all of the v*rbs, n**ns and adj*ctives."

The star will be the only vowel. Eventually they'll just drop it all together and English will be only consonants. Children will ask "nn gndrd prnt fgr, why ds th kybrd hv ths xtr fnny lttrs?" And no one will know the answer.

Struck down immediately by a senile supreme Court.

I doubt we'll ever get data to support this but I suspect most drivers aren't drivers for very long. A few, who are otherwise entirely unemployable, may stick it out. It sounds like a much better deal than it is, I think most people realize that after a relatively short time.

My experience with doing deliveries was the only people who had been doing it for a while were a: broke as fuck and 2, exactly the opposite of the type of person you might want handling your food.

In medieval times that's certainly true. Egyptian laborers were paid. Generally in food and housing, as coinage wouldn't be introduced for quite some time. Especially skilled laborers were sometimes given land. Egypt had a very routinized farming season and most laborers were farmers with nothing to farm in the off season.

Skilled stone masons could kinda go wherever so locking them in to work with taxes was a great way to get them to leave.

Fun fact, they had a daily meal of a particularly thick beer that had chunks of bread in it. And one time they went on strike when they ran out of wigs.
