I told my friends I invited Taylor Swift, Zohran Mamdani and the pope to my birthday party

Technically you could transmit it consensually but anyone consenting to something like that is freaky enough you probably wouldn't have to infect them with horny disease anyway.

If the plan is to make women want sex with you by giving them the horny virus, why make it so you have to have sex to infect them in the first place? Why not engineer an airborne virus so you can just mist it on the victim? This supervillain plan makes no sense even if you ignore how depraved and evil it is.

Jeffrey Epstein? The New York extortionist?

Maybe Jeffrey Epstein offered us a large sum of money, maybe he didn't. I'm not sure and I will make a public statement without bothering to check with anyone. We keep getting large donations so often it's easy to forget whether we did or did not receive an offer of three hundred thousand dollars from the random nobody called Jeffrey Epstein. What I do remember is that whether we got the offer or not (not that I can remember if we did) we certainly looked into whether he was a bad guy or not, even though it's not standard practice and I don't we should have to do so either. In any case we looked into him and maybe turned down the offer he may or may not have made. Probably. Again, I'm making this statement without checking with anyone who knows for sure but I heard someone say something to that effect. Later we took a fifty thousand dollar donation from him anyway, but that's such a small sum we barely even noticed it.

I assume my lawyer would advise me to keep posting things like this (I have not checked myself).

Hey, genetics Lemmy, dumb math question: Suppose that Cheliax, a Lawful Evil country directly ruled by Hell, is running a state eugenics program and gets their hands on a male interdimensional traveler with roughly +4.25 s.d. IQ (18.5 Intelligence). How much raw demon pussy could the traveler hit before the readers start suspecting he's my self insert even though of course it isn't? (BTW I'm way smarter than that in case any Hellions are listening)

The fucking hypocrisy of it all stings. Years of everyone being told not to copy that floppy or Lars Ulrich takes your girlfriend because you wouldn't download a car, would you? Turns out when Microsoft and Softbank bankroll you for billions to download all the warez the internet has to offer, Mickey will not only let you off scot free but gives you a warm sloppy pat on the back as a bonus. With enough doubloons you're not a pirate anymore, you're the navy.

That's a calculated risk I take with deadpan humor. This time I cut it close.

I was just riffing on the AI "moderate" talking points. Building a data center in space is prima facie ludicrously stupid and you would need an extremely unusual justification to even consider it. I was pretending to act like a moron who blindly accepts there's probably a serious reason why they make sense just because some dumbass hype man said so.

Oh yea absolutely. Underwater datacenters have one upside (cooling) and massive downsides (everything else, more or less). Space datacenters trade that upside into yet another downside, make the downsides even bigger and add a few extra downsides for good measure.
