Unless you jailbreak your AI, they’re generally designed to deescalate any potentially romantic situations, so I’d imagine it’d result in a very platonic friends situation where both parties chatter on about nothing.

Generally it’s not allowed to have meta posts about the way things are run or the moderators.
That seems to me like an incredibly bad policy decision, in general. If there are legitimate meta/moderation issues, it’s important to be able to address them in a proactive manner. Banning that sort of discussion outright is going to lead to problems in the long run, as you’ll be making a pressure cooker with no outlet.
If there’s maybe a concern that meta content might displace other content, you could always designate a specific day for meta discussions.

You’re correct, but you’re also being a bit pedantic and ignoring the point OP is trying to make. It still illustrates my point just fine at 47.4% instead of 50%. Odds of winning 10 in a row go from 1:1,024 to 1:1,746.
- Comment on Why is it apparently cool and fine for insurance companies to spend countless billions, trillions of our money constantly buying ad time? 7 months ago:
to purchase policies from companies with the lowest advertising budgets.
This was basically my grandfather’s modus operandi. He wouldn’t buy anything he saw in an ad. Dude was a nuclear physicist, so maybe he was on to something.
And while it’d be pretty hard to do that today, I always try and keep it in mind when I buy stuff. I ask myself if I feel like I’m being pressured to buy something, and to try to always be willing to walk away without buying. You can always decide later, and buy it then.

I disagree. The serious answer is you have to be the one person that gets lucky.
Take 1024 people each with 1000. They all play roulette and go all in every round, half on black half on red. After 10 rounds, 1023 people have lost all their money, and one has won a million dollars.
The person who “made it” didn’t do anything different, or play a +EV game. He just got lucky.

I’m sorry, Dave, I can’t answer that.

I’d typically say something like: “One billion, seven hundred and one million, sixty five thousand, one hundred seconds since the epoch.”
