While the Spike Jonze film Her (2013) explored a romance between a man and his virtual personal assistant, 10 years earlier, the movie Demolition Man looked at how technology could play a role in sexual relationships. In an iconic scene, a character played by Arnold Schwarzenegger has virtual sex with Sandra Bullock.

Was this article written by AI? Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't in Demolition Man, and 1993 was not ten years before 2013.

Yeah, I've been there. Halfway through typing a reply I usually realize, the most likely outcome of this is more bad faith arguments and more frustration.

I will sometimes just leave a purely factual reply or a link, and not respond further if they want to debate it or move the goalposts.

Brad Pitt as Robert Paulson, Meatloaf as Tyler Durden.

How do they define monthly active users? If I never post anything, but log in every couple weeks to see what my friends are up to and maybe like a few posts, am I counted?

Well, if you trust Wikipedia as a source, the second paragraph of the article on the World Wide Web starts out:

"The Web was invented by English computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee..."

It was an article about the results of a survey about smartphone use. Seems very relevant.

The one a little bit further down - "Trumpery" meaning "Deceit; fraud" - needs to make a comeback.

I grew up in a place and went to school somewhere. My hobbies include several things that demonstrate commitment and ambition. My values exactly match those of this company. My biggest dream in life is to work hard to make your shareholders lots of money.

I get the feeling that most of these "experience' things I've been hearing about lately are low effort cash grabs.

I almost never click a video by someone I don't know these days. It's almost always a waste of time.

It came to me in a dream. I don't know what it means.
