I dunno how much more there is to say. I found TMiaHM had too much "Libertarianism is logical! It can solve anything! It's a dessert! It's a floor wax!"

@JackBNimble well, here comes the robot apocalypse.

Oh right. Sometimes I forget and I treat you like a normal person.

Well, complaining about no upvotes is virtually indistinguishable...

People on this site, quite a number of them, obsess a bit too much about reviews.

Happy 7th birthday to SFF.SE!

My campaign slogan is "We must move forwards, not backwards. Upwards, and not forwards. And always be twirling, twirling, twirling."

@JohnRennie It's called a hallucination, because it's just making stuff up. I've seen it happen pretty much any time that an AI tries to answer a story ID question, and it also often happens if you try to make it cite sources if you've asked it some academic question

Daily floof, 2021/06/03: is that because of the vaccine?

Star for dogs

Daily floof, 25/05/21: happy towel day!

@Jenayah FTR if you had the time you'd have my vote. Or one of them, at least.

Actually I miss pretty much the long mind-twisting conversations here, and spending time on the site on general. I miss you folks. Life's taking way too much a toll these days 😴 (and spending several weeks basically without hands doesn't help either, but that's a story for another day)

@SFFBlog "A chillingly accurate portrayal of a 2019 police officer." It's too bad I can't upvote this, it made me laugh. :D

So I think a tag warning would only be halfway as effective as a general warning. Probably neither one is very effective, so this is just relative.

@galacticninja FWIW this is something we've got on our radar, I believe ASR brought it up for us to get around to at one point. I will say though that if this is something you want us to do ideally you would need to finalise the warning content.

(thumbsup) attribution links are good

I bought an audiobook and am listening to it!

As per usual they've missed the wood for the trees. They're fixing the problem of users not being able to learn to use the site and how it works by adding some nonsense social media feature rather than going to the root cause and helping people learn how the site works

^ literature.stackexchange.com/q/24590/139 not explicitly sci-fi, but sounds like the kind of ID question that you may be good at

Daily floof, 16/9/2019: ooh baby a triple

The first object that comes to mind is The Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but its dimensions are famously 1:4:9.

@user89575 That would be great. No, we're all a bunch of nerds wasting our life in front of the computer trying to help people we've never met with questions about universes that don't exist. But it's a hell lot of fun, otherwise we wouldn't do it.

Misspellings of names in Tolkien's Legendarium (on SEDE)

This month's topic challenge is sci-fi author David Weber and his Honorverse. All welcome to participate with Q&A on the main site!

Frankly, whenever people from this site talk about deleting "objectively wrong" answers, I'm afraid of losing every elaborate and reasonable answer that doesn't agree with whatever bullshit JKR came up with again and dared to cast as "iron law" by means of nothing but a drunk Tweet.

I built a little LEGO homage to Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Terrans. Frightful creatures. Terrible manners.

We're audience-customising our site's custom close reasons! Meta posts for feedback: list/recommendation and scientific solutions/explanations.

@MattE.Эллен They seem quite silmillar.

SE can be motivated to do it much faster in just two easy steps: (1) Come up with an argument that the lack of comment locks is somehow unwelcoming to new users. (2) Complain about it on Twitter.

Oh boy.

I hate the new review UI. It's not good. I voice displeasure

Daily floof, 2019/06/27: that was in a Meta post that just got bumped

^ Seriously? For an anime ID question, your example for additional information is what the main character looks like? It's an 11 year old child with spikey black hair, large eyes, small rounded mouth, and pointy chin.
