What is this, the rated-PG version? The classic punchline is “but I would never guillotine the janitor”.

Wow that is some real AI slop.

Let me file that under D… for Donut.

Haha. Oh hey, that’s Zach from SMBC. No wonder it’s weird 😆

I went to a brewpub the other day and I thought I respected them. But then the side of tots they gave me (for an upcharge no less) couldn’t even fill one hand. So disappointed.

Hold onto your butts, we’re going exponential.

I expected the punchline to be “for me to poop on”.

I appreciate that. I have a partner who is on the spectrum and has ADHD as well.

I was only joking in the pedantic style often associated (rightly or wrongly) with autistic traits. ASD is the official DSM-5 term. Of course being a diagnostic manual, that focuses only on behavioral deficits. As I understand, the DSM gets plenty of criticism because like you mention, it omits all the interesting ways folks cope or even creatively use abilities like hyperfocus for positive outcomes. But on the other hand, I’m not sure successful behavior requires any psychological treatment, so that may be unnecessary to include in the first place.

Anyway, I think this is one of many situations where simple terminology doesn’t capture the full nuance of reality. So apologies if that came across as crude.

You could say the project was a success because… she was never gonna give it up.

Especially if you light the 151 on fire first.

It worked pretty well to stop HAL 9000.

That’s part of the original joke, and also why the idea falls under “dumb”.

IMO conservatives are either Klingons, Ferengi, or deluded enough to think they’d be chosen to join the Q Continuum. And Libertarians think they’re Romulans or Cardassians but aren’t actually that organized or clever.

That wasn’t part of his standup act but it could be a funny addition… if it wasn’t so close to the truth.
