Absolutely no way Take-Two can afford anything less than $5B in profit every year. The stock market was a mistake.

That’s the beauty of an idea, though. The worst people can have good ideas and good people can benefit from them. In certain cases, they can use the ideas against the creator themselves. I just consider it a fact of life and avoid giving those people my money directly where possible.

I don’t switch anything off faster than when Danny McBride shows up

This was me, but without taking the test. I worked in customer service for nearly a decade when I switched to managing to entire inbound customer workflow for a small business.

Sometimes you can do more than you think you could.

And get stuck at the start line?

Needs more cars

It’s Old Gregg

All of which I have worked with and fit neatly in boxes. All about context and environment.

A big problem with trees is roots, especially in cities with dense underground infrastructure. If there’s an actual way to produce the same amount of oxygen as a tree in a smaller space, I’m all for it. I’m honestly okay with how these look, assuming low maintenance.

Neat! I learned something new!

Sorry. Meme says you’re a woman.

What’s going on with the word ‘fight’?

Because 5 limbs with a dozen joints flailing in a house is a lot different than all of the scenarios you gave.

A car has three inputs: gas, brake, steering. A fire can start only from a flammable source and in the case of electric cars, I still personally don’t prefer them.

Anything can be dangerous in an extreme. But imagining a humanoid robot in the room with a kid? No matter how you spin that, no thanks.

Your phone can explode

This happens almost never and can be pretty easily prevented with regular care to your device. It’s hard to have this happen with normal use.

Your PC’s power supply can catch fire

And I can run out of the room

Your electric car can burst into flames

This one has the most validity, and there’s a reason I drive a car from ‘03 with no driving assists

Yet you happily use all of them

Because I know exactly what to expect from their failures and how to avoid being hurt by them. A robot with the same limbs (that are likely far stronger) as a human can do more than 100% of the damage a human can do, especially in relaxed at-home setting.

See, this is the actual reason why I’ll never trust robots. Even if everything is magically released in a perfect working state, all it takes is one buffer stack overflow from a bad update or static on a chip to turn your dignified butler robot into a limb detatcher in 200ms flat.

If it can physically hurt you, assume at all times that machines are dangerous. This is why we have safetys and e-stops for everything. You can’t safety a humanoid robot as we just saw here.

Grand Theft Auto delayed?! 😱 I don’t even know how to react considering this has never happened on any of their previous releases…

Weeooweeoooeeeoowwooeeo 😭😭😭😭😭

Had the same issue with two vacuums in a row. Both broke within a couple months and couldn’t be reasonably serviced. Ended up with a 10-year-old used Kirby that feels like it should have a pull cord starter. Absolute beast of a unit and almost every (if not every) piece can be replaced.

Is this a wild Candlejack reference? Better tell everyone to avoid saying Candlejack. Hey everyone! Don’t say Candleja–
