Basically a male Margaret Thatcher
Hello and welcome once again to another chat thread! Pull up a seat and chill out!


Now of course I could pull up the usual OP but blah blah blah you know the drill, this is a chat thread, we chat and and there's a broken rear end Subaru or 10 to fix. Like seriously, I have so many goddamn Subarus it's become it's own AI meme and its funny anymore I have a problem... not enough space for them in the driveway.

Also please note politics is a specifically banned topic in AI these days.

So anyway one of the most bizarre things I have seen in the router logs over the last year has been ASMR videos. You do get the usual clickbait illogically huge breasted girls jumping in ont he fad but you also have a bunch of people who are really REALLY earnest about the whole thing - and they really do produce some of the oddest but harmless videos. I find the whole thing amusing myself....... until I found the dark side of ASMR and summoned an Elder God. Here I was just relaxing when it appeared - He was huge and his visage was frightening. He towered over me and demanded to know my name. Frightened beyond frightened I stammered "Cat". He seemed to be pleased but he wanted more. "What is your mother's named?" he thundered. "I... do not have one" I replied. "Then what is your pet's name?". I looked down, trying not to piss myself in fear. "Stig" I replied. The Elder God stood there, raised it's arms and then said in a voice that broked no argument....

In breaking news, Sebastian Loeb has been found out as having a secret life as a porn star. In a bombshell that has shaken Citroen – but in all fact pretty much everyone else knew – a keen eyed observer has spotted Loeb in a video on fuckingmachines.com – as the machine.

“It was a surprise to be sure and he does look unfamiliar without hos human disguise on but no one can mistake his movements as they are so precise and his voice – ‘Ummmmmmmmm yes I think so ummmmmmmm yes do you ummmmm like it like ummmmm that’ – even without his fake french accent he’s unmissable” said Ima Wanka, 21 from his parents basement. “I was all like getting off and then I realised he was Sebastian Loeb so after cleaning my screen I phoned the News Of The World”

“It’s about time that bloody robot got outed” said Malcom Wilson, Principle of M-Sport and the Ford WRC team. “There’s been rumours for years and this proves it. How the hell are we supposed to win against that? Let alone he keeps going for as long as his batteries keep going, no wonder you have fangirls lined up 20 deep”

Citroen team bosses expressed surprise.

“A Robot? No, he’s quite clearly human. We reject utterly the accusations of Loeb’s robot status altho the site in question…… ummm…. what was the question again?”

Porn stars have been willing to verify the identity of the robot with many female performers expressing their support and admiration for Loebot. Many comments that are pretty much unprintable but you get the idea.

The FIA will be meeting tomorrow to see the clip in question and Esmerela Jizzmop has been put on standby to clean up afterwards.

Offensive language charges regularly get thrown out by courts... usually because the police in question did the charge because they were a oval office in the first place.

Turns out the previously mentioned Warboys in Cambridgeshire is only four and a half minutes west of the prime meridian. We should adopt that as our official AI demarcation for a date line. No new chat thread until it's the 1st of the month there.

I like how they censored "oval office" while explaining that it's not considered offensive.

I have a floor vent in a similar location, right in the middle of a threshold between the kitchen and living room. I would love to hear the reasoning behind the placement; the house was built in '48 and the central air was added sometime in the 90's.

On the one hand: getting paid!
On the other hand: work. And coworkers. Traffic. Managers. Did I mention work?
The month I was "on the bench" (no assignment, but still getting paid) with my previous company a few months ago was the best month I've had in a long time, other than a bit of worry about finding another job. It was still relaxing compared with the job I was doing. Got all kinds of stuff done around the house. Hell, I painted half of one of my cars.
