Not just imprinted with the engrams of any one person (however brilliant they might be) — it’s more than that! Like all great writing, it’s more like it’s been imbued with patterns, patterns that are peppered with a potpourri of popular ways of writing in an enthusiastic style while regularly restating things and recapitulating them. Would you like me to explain more?

Many businesses added specific surcharges to final sales to offset the tariffs they paid. While they have no legal obligation to refund those surcharges they imposed, it would be straightforward to do so and it would be the right thing to do.

Those references are to the recurring gag with Lucy and the football.
There’s a lot more to the character than that so I hope 99% is an exaggeration and people are still reading Peanuts and watching the various animated versions. I’m pretty sure they are.

“No, I didn't know about the exhibit before that day. And then I saw the Al piece and it was just—as an artist myself, it was insulting to see something of such little effort alongside all these beautiful pieces in the gallery. It shouldn't be acceptable for this "art," if you will, to be put alongside these real great pieces.”
What an impulsive fellow.

If OpenAI becomes an also-ran by the time the hardware is released, this seems like a real possibility no matter how well-designed it is.

I remember gift cards originally being novel in the early 2000’s because they could be swiped like a credit card for purchases, unlike gift certificates, which they replaced.
If you had a girlfriend in the late 80s, I don’t see how police could have been bribed with gift cards as long as you can remember.
I should also add that I myself have never heard of it being common to bribe SF cops with gift cards, in any decade.
Re:White House rules out bailout for AI as bubble fears grow

The joke is that the dumb biker character believes he has to kill people to get things for himself. The joke is at that character's expense.
Or do you mean you understood the meme you found in /r/simpsonsshitposting and then claimed was from thirty years ago and showed that The Simpsons writers had pointed out the necessity of killing CEOs?
Before you try to use The Simpsons references to add credibility to your edge-lord political arguments you should try watching the show. Maybe after your next walk?
Re:White House rules out bailout for AI as bubble fears grow
on Friday November 07, 2025 @01:26PM (#45849326)
Except that you completely misunderstood the joke. It’s at the expense of the character that thought killing was the way to achieve progress.
And you cited a post-Luigi meme using The Simpsons as evidence of something having been mainstream during the time of The Simpsons. With a fancy citation and everything!

The actual Simpsons joke had nothing to with either health care or CEOs. That subreddit is for making memes around classic Simpsons references, not a repository for them.
If you can’t even get the Simpsons right, I’m more than skeptical of the various statistics you cited but didn’t bother providing sources for.
