No, no, dissecting humor to death is the funnest part of the experience :D (I, too, am autistic)

That's what makes it good satire. But if you honestly think that someone applying for a postdoc can't explain what their research is about, it's on you.

As someone on the spectrum, I can assure you that being on the spectrum is not an obstacle for understanding this kind of humor. In fact, is the neurotypicals who struggle getting it because they rely on nonverbal cues (like a sarcastic t

This article is AI slop that explains exactly nothing about how ballpoint pen tips are made, or what makes it a difficult problem. Do you have a better source?

Not if you want to eradicate any group that you don't like by planting undercover troublemakers / agent provacateurs in them! One little trick human rights advocates don't want you to know about! /s

Great logical thinking! Now pray tell why Bin Laden is responsible for 9/11, but 1 billion Muslims aren't. They're in the same "group", right? They have "safehouses" (mosques), "radical zines" (Q

This is awesome! Time to pull out my Acer Aspire from 2006, and make something with it :) Also: what a blast from the past to see Kyodai mahjongg on Andrei's desktop in last year's challenge <3

This is a very well written and thought out argument. Thank you for putting it together.

>murder by an armed group Oh yes, how could we have forgotten the crucial detail that every single person in the group had their hands on the trigger . Wait, that's because it didn't happen. One individual fired their weapon

They didn't shoot a cop. A single individual did. What you're calling for is collective punishment (a war crime in Geneva convention), and guilt by association (a perversion of justice). Kindly, abscond and desist.

>your actions didn't amount to a crime >it is still a crime Pardon me, but effin what ? Ah yes. There's a word for it. You're literally calling for prosecuting thoughtcrimes . Good job, making Orwell proud.

Thank you so much for the feedback! Took a few hours while I was trying to understand what exactly iroh is doing. It was good to refresh some things in memory along the way, and learn some too :)

The reason we have rules like this is, in two words, aviation safety. Think about this whatever you want. This system works , and the rules were written in blood. Captain having the ultimate authority is the case on the high seas as well.

The escalation wasn't for having an edgy Bluetooth name. It was for ignoring captain's orders. They were asked politely once to shut off their device, and chose to ignore that order. This is a bit of a signal.
