'Like your credentials concerning the Norwegian History under the Kalmar Union?'
You claim I know nothing about Norwegian history during the Kalmar Union?
In Denmark, there's a rulebook for how jokes should be formatted and as to what subjects they should be on.
Nope; though it could perhaps be an idea. Joke aside I do tell jokes from time to time; as far as I remember you even found one of them really good.
Well I apologize dearly for not appealing to your somewhat minimal humor desires.

So just because I don't have American humour I have no humour? I most certainly have humour and for instance like Jan Gintberg. Natholdet similarly are funny (most of the time). And I found that written caricature of me funny.
And muppets really are quite childish so I don't know whose humour it speaks the most about that you apparently find them funny, whereas I find them boring and dull.

It's. A. Joke.

You have made some fairly good jokes, especially recently. I've been tempted to comment on them, but then I forgot to.

The machine learning algorithms still have a long way to go, however, before we can get a plausible approximation of human behavior.

You're absolutely right. But I was impressed to see that artificial intelligence had progressed far enough that the first automated presidential candidate was released this year.

This is an exceedingly ignorant position to hold.
Er, well, you can be racist to your own race. It's just that people won't be upset with you for it.

I think Uncle Ruckus is pretty good proof that one can indeed be racist against their own race.

Really, all things consider the Mitt-o-Tron was pretty successful in the last cycle as a prototype.

I think part of it is that typically racist jokes are used ironically. With people of a different race than the butt of the joke, you're not really sure if they're sincerely joking or ironically joking. But with people of the same race as the butt of the joke, they already have some non-racist-against-that-group cred.

If you've distinguished yourself as obviously not a racist against that group by other means, the immunity to blame can extend to you. It's also acceptable if it's a caricature of racism that's never taken seriously today.

Otherwise everyone is too busy worrying that you meant the joke to be taken at face value, or wondering if you really understand the depth of the issue of racism.

But anyway, it's an internet meme and I don't think I've ever seen it used unironically by anyone. So there's that, too. I wouldn't mind if anyone else posted it unless they already had showcased some sketchy racist tendencies.

Anyway, let's not discuss this further in this thread. I won't continue responding after your hypothetical next post.

Meh. I think probably the greatest achievement in AI is Clinton version 1.722. They developed her really early on and she's still up and running, without a hint of Rubio's occasional glitches. They reached too far and tried too much with him, I think.

But in the end, it didn't even matter.
Instead, he began to energy. This is a process of gradual self-destruction that overdeveloped, obsessively designed robots often go through when exposed to situations they haven't been programmed for.

At the end, they tried to override his original "personality", and the programming just went completely haywire.

I was quite surprised to find this flag amongst the standard P'dox avatars; I have a certain affinity with the Takeda Dynasty, home of Japan's best cavalry and its greatest general.

Anyway, I don't know this Morgothic person, but it's my avatar now :rolleyes:

We still do have a game going on tonight, right? This died out really quickly. I say we lynch Livingstone as he has largely been a detriment to the village.

We're probably looking at either Livingstone or Tamius as the likely final Yellow wolf. Livingstone's leader shenanigans don't tell us anything about him being a baddie or not due to the fake outing, and tamius is giving me worse baddie vibes, so

Vote tamius
