Lol Logitech has already tried.

What have you done?

Still better than my mother in law’s.

Oh yeah, the presence of this particular mindset is a lot more prevalent here on Lemmy, unfortunately. I call it the “Russian troll farm mentality.” Frankly, I find disingenuousness is less discomforting than outright delusion, because it means they know they’re full of shit. The delusional are just depressing.

There’s an important distinction. Pence was just an old school Republican who spent most of his career when they were still sane pieces of shit. They picked him because he was an actual politician to lend credibility to the crazy.

And ultimately, the dude chose country over party. We can give the guy shit for tons of stuff, but he still made the right call at the end of it.

Couch fucker was specifically chosen because he’s none of those things. Which is way, way worse.

Well done, op. This is fuckin terrible.

On the flip side, there’s no reason to assume an artificial intelligence will share the same priorities as a human being.

I’m not fearmongering AI here (I, for one, welcome our future ai overlords). But we don’t really escape the issues of ethics with artificial intelligences. They’re still intelligent.

Oh good! There’s a bizarro me out there that’s still capable of feeling feelings! Good for them!

Instructions not clear. Croissant too runny and crunchy.

Next time will use heating method to cook the egg and remove the shell beforehand.

Why don’t you get back to us in January?

It was the BLURST OF TIMES?!?

Wait, what did Dave Coulier do?

Hundreds of years, yes. Without issue? Definitely incorrect. It is a statistical certainty that, in the entire course of history, someone somewhere has gotten sick and died from this cooking method.

Pedantry aside, it’s all about who’s making the stew that matters. A seasoned chef today with the sufficient knowledge of modern food safety practices can keep a stew reliably safe to eat. Some old farmer centuries ago will experience a lot more opportunities for contamination and won’t notice until they get the shits.

That’s because there wasn’t any law against it at that time. Now we’ve got the 22nd amendment.

Holy shit, that’s a blast from the past.

Good looking out!
