Happy Mithras' day!

It's proved crap when it logically doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Or are you now suggesting logical rules are also subjective?

Deeds over words.

God is a pathetically persistent fairy tale people keep wanting to rationalise and when it's pointed out it's all crap, because none of those argument...

That's paw-ful.

Yes, exactly. And assumptions aren't proof so they don't work.

Most of us do the best we can. A little lie to cheer up a kid has little to do with foisting "your future is your own responsibility" on them. And if ...

You guys have gone off a tangent. It was just a slice of life. You know that time when you don't have time to philosophically weigh everything you say...

I'm sorry? You've been on this site how long? If you think any of the proofs of God actually works, you haven't been paying attention.

Ah, you've just described religious persons as bigots. That's not very nice.

As long as they're not hollow points, doesn't it really depend where you're shot?

I'm not anti-religious, I'm against stupid threads. And since all the god arguments have been disproved, all of them are stupid.

Finally, no more religious crap!

I like it mixed. Keeps the community more vibrant to have a certain seasonality and change to it. Daniel's solution works too. Also, never take Banno ...

Engagement is much higher though, which is great.

you'll do better than what we have now.

I'd go for option two. It will last about 4 to 5 decades and then I'll be dead and after that things will go to normal. It solves the population probl...

Yes.

@"Christoffer" Holy moly, I gave it some programming instructions to build a market place for buyers and sellers in python and as far as I could tell ...

City boy. :joke:

She's communicating a boundary. Let's just respect it OK instead of creating unnecessary pressure. :wink:

I think I've come to realise I could've had a nice life outside of the job if I had quit the rat race early.

Thank you for your virtue signalling. You'll be happy to know I can care both about starving children and my own happiness.

Nope. I have a red cat, who releases mice in our house when he gets bored with them before he kills them. Super annoying to find the pantry attacked b...

Your cat is clearly deranged, sorry to say. I still voted it highly. I'm a cat lover so anything involving cats has to be the best. https://i0.wp.com/...

Ha, yes, that's recognisable. As I said, intepreters overestimate how smart writers are but that's the fun part in a way. No text is the same for anyb...

Thank you for your kind words and clearly understanding what I was trying to convey. I wrote this story in about 15 minutes and didn't change any word...

This is a very brief summary of one of my dreams. I have recurring dreams involving a devolving self through base emotions and physically - I turn int...

@"Benj96" Great job on this, it was my favourite this time around. How much of the interpretation was correct?

Btw, excellent interpretations of both my stories. They were spot on with what I was trying to convey.

Funny how "Astronauts" is nobody's favourite but it still has the best score so far. I just had to point that out so I can claim the win for this acti...

It's tragically dull?

Not really but maybe I'm just getting old.

I think it's a good suggestion but I don't want to force anything on Caldwell who's running this gig.

@"Caldwell" can you provide an overview of all the authors? I can add it to the list. Are we scoring the stories? 2 for I liked it 1 for it's ok and t...

The Porn Shop by Tobias because he's always going on about sex and gender relations in philosophy.

Derivative by ChatGPT Is this a Turing test? by Cruelty by Death by Chocolate by The Last One by Three Shittyass Ghosts by How I met your mother by Do...

I've extensively analysed it, so no, it's not mine.

My thought as well.

Yes, it's Derivative. I tried to force it to include dialogue but that only made it worse. :rofl: EDIT: Absolutely loved @"ToothyMaw"'s comment on it.

Ooh, that's harsh. But I agree, it doesn't seem a career as a writer is in the cards for him/her.

Now you're grossly overestimating the capabilities of an AI.

Nope. A caveat though, it could be other people submitted an AI generated story, I only know about the one that I submitted.

Nope. Why did you think that?

ChatGPT is another author

Yay, bought a PS5 for a normal price via a direct sale from Sony.

That's great. Can you expound on what that means? Do we get an interim winner now? Or are we waiting until the end of the month (or 22nd)?

Is there going to be a "winner"? If so, I'd rather not reveal myself since half of the forum hates me and it will affect voting. :rofl:

Congratulations. You failed. By obsessing about machine feelings you've disclosed yourself as machine.

Look at the helix from the top, instead of the side and it basically looks like a wheel with spokes. Every full rotation of the strand circumscribes a...
