   I agree with almost everything you say barring one political and one non-political comment. Given that I’m a right-leaning libertarian on a predominantly left-leaning comment board, I’ll ignore that one political comment. Particularly since it has no bearing on my comment and I can actually separate comics from political diatribe from reality and avoid being hateful.

   AI, and computing in general, of the future is unlikely to be based on a binary system. We already have functional systems with more than two states. That I’m aware of, hardware with 4 or 5 ground states already exists so hardware is already far ahead of the ignorant morons known as humans that populate this planet (and that means ALL of us).

   Just adding my comment that math must have been a LOT of trouble for you if you honestly believe that.

   “Not entirely inaccurate” is the same as “almost entirely accurate”. That’s where you’re wrong! That is 100% entirely accurate. For the last 20+ years, we have waged war (guns or words) on anybody who is guilty of the “crime” of disagreeing with us. To our credit though, we do turn this same hatred on ourselves as much as, if not more than, we turn it on anybody else.

   Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! I was born a bit more than 40 years ago. When asked my age, I claim “5”.

   That’s not relevant here. Sometimes, particularly when in poverty, going in debt is unavoidable, yes. But that’s because you’re buying what you can’t afford. However, whether or not it’s avoidable has no bearing on whether or not it’s true.

   There’s a slight difference in what it implies. While not precise, “in your pants” is a location and just “your pants” indicates that your pants directly experienced the pee. Imagine wearing a good diaper or a catheter. Peeing “in your pants” remains quite possible while peeing “your pants” no longer is.

   Tear your pants: pants are torn.

   Tear (as a verb) in your pants: you were in your pants when you tore something.

   Always wish I could more precisely recall my English classes and what was called what. Those are two distinct, and correct, sentence structures with two distinct meanings

   Me too. Until about 32. Now I’m losing that 70 lbs again because I have no appetite, I eat when I get hungry, stop when I’m not and otherwise don’t snack or anything. I really like food still, I just have no desire to eat.

    Only if you decide to not make a decision or otherwise deliberately put it off. If you simply fail to decide (perhaps because you didn’t believe you had enough info), then it’s indecision.
