@KubrickPoint Reminiscent of To Kill a Mockingbird as local vigilants converge on the jail to break Tom Robinson out for a likely lynching, when little Scout appears, recognizes one of the locals & starts an innocent conversation with him; the group instantly loses its nerve and retreats.
@unclejfranklin@mmcdonaldlewis@TenGallonTroub Why, thank you for this rich song history, Uncle J Franklin! I am now eager to look up all the references you kindly provided to me!๐
@mmcdonaldlewis Alles Gute zum Geburtstag!
Joyeux anniversaire!
Buon compleanno!
Sveikinu su gimimo diena!
(In the languages spoken in my family, plus my late father's native language, which btw has some beautiful poetry!)
Have a fantastic day, Mary!๐
@mmcdonaldlewis Love posing these kinds of Q's, as they force one to consider which elements make a sport, which constitute art, & how the 2 interact. I posed similar Q's w/LOVE & RESPECT in my HS German classes: can you rank the 2 in importance, then if you could have only 1, which would it be?
@SwipeWright Congratulations! You will be a fantastic dad!๐ค
I'm a mum of a very dear daughter๐
Humor is an amazing key to happiness in life! Our daughter loved many books, including Harold and the Purple Crayon, and Madeline.
๐๐ท๐All the best!๐๐ท๐
@avidseries What exactly blinded Cambridge, BBC, etc., to not see this naked emperor?
How well did his own family know him; how much were they involved in his life?
Did so many well-educated people not see any of the inconsistencies and exaggerations?
Tragic, but imho avoidable.
@RealKhaylee Yes!
This falls neatly into Pragmatics (linguistic context).
The time answer given is "conventional" & expected, not the literal, "Yes". Most assume the person is requesting the actual time.
You take it 1 step further: if you have to ๐ at yourโ๏ธ, you don't really know the time!
@unherd@alys_key Yours are valid, crucial & overlooked reasons *against* "humanoid robots", imho; there are more.
I question & highly doubt the existence of such valid reasons *for* ANY bots to possess ANY traits of the living beyond
functional use. This practical application should be the norm.
