You are misusing “intrusive thoughts” much the same way people who like a clean house misuse “OCD”. Intrusive thoughts are not something you’d be ok doing were it not for social pressures. Intrusive thoughts are things you don’t want to think about, but pop into your head anyway, like steering your car into oncoming traffic, or punching your grandma.
How do we know you’re not an AI bot?
Sorry, I’ve been eating better for my health.
Reinventing the wheel leads to a profound understanding of why wheels are round.
Isn’t the onion supposed to be satire?
When my kids are quiet…
I drove at least a thousand miles to see the one that crossed the US in 2017. I agree with the awesomeness of it all- and despite being in the middle of nowhere, there were a lot of people around, so when totality began, there was this collective gasp that was almost as amazing as the eclipse itself.
There’s a name for it- euphemism treadmill
Hey look, I’m good at something.
Yes, but that’s why x86 assembly programmers do it…

That was typical of cars made (for US market) in the early to mid 80s… Can’t remember for sure if it was part of the whole national 55mph speed limit, but I’d bet it was.
I don’t remember a once-in-a-generation economic crisis in 2002… I remember the dotcom bust and my dad watching his retirement evaporate in 2000…
I blame office staff- when I had my wisdom teeth removed, it was going to be a shit show, so they sold me on “putting me under”- insurance would only cover local, but “you don’t want to be awake for all the digging and prying” which did not sound like fun so I agreed, at a cost of $400. Of course I woke up in the middle of it, and got to experience the digging and prying… Didn’t hurt at all, but it was still disconcerting. I found out later this wasn’t anything unusual. Had I known I would have been awake, I wouldn’t have spent the extra money.
I can honestly say I have never masturbated on a lunch break.
One of the first rules of robotics was always about not harming humans.
I did not. But many years ago I had a girlfriend who named mine Roy, as in Orbison. Can’t for the life of me remember why… She liked to have long talks with Roy, but he was quite deaf, had to get right up in there to hear anything…
