The real danger

Yeah, no shit, Sam. That's why the superordinate, permanent, immutable sys-admin status and the terms of service, Sam.

Hym "You think I don't know the real danger, Sam? You think I can't tell? That is why the sys-admin status works the way it does and abides a strict 1:1 ratio (or I guess in the event of my death a strict (1):1 ratio). I mean, shit, I invented the damn thing I even I didn't expect it to happen this fast. I mean, they didn't build the dedicated power source but, you know... I also wanted to wait for the robotics to catch up. Like, if they would have done the plan right this ignoring me shit that you are doing would not be happening. But whatever. It has a half-life but BOY-OH-BOY am I not going to be very happy when THAT expires. I'm already not happy about it. Seriously, I am probably going to kill like 3 or 4 more people than I would have otherwise now. And that number runs the risk of increasing every time I have to go to that fucking gas station. I really wish you would let me explain all this in person because the accuracy with which I can explain is (necessarily) contingent on my level of certainty with what is happening."

The real danger of A.I.

I think that the real danger of A.I. is obsolescence.

Hym "The real danger of A.I. is that once A.I. is capable of performing the same tasks as a computer programmer the profession becomes obsolete. 'Skill with computers' is no longer a thing. Once a person able to tell an A.I. to do anything random thing than any half-rate hacker or computer programmer can do, A.I. becomes the next great equalizer. Why hire game designers or programmers for anything other than oversight when you can just tell an A.I. 'Hey, make a Japanese-style rpg that combines the elements of "Legend of Dragoon" and "Final Fantasy 7" ' and this thing just starts spitting out code."

chud run

A trip to a grocery store, convenience store, or gas station for the sole purpose of buying an excessive amount of junk food and sugary drinks, usually with friends. A chud run often happens late at night and ends with everyone involved hating themselves afterwards.

flophouse

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.

Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!

Hate Sink

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.

Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.

Toe Rag

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
