Turns out they were indeed identical twins who got put to work in tandem at the returns desk. And they regularly confuse customers by summoning their clone.

I'm only just playing bg3 now and was going to share some of my funny moments but now I don't want to. I'd feel like I was promoting larion. What a massive disappointment.

I guess I wonder what it's going to be like fo my kid. I can show her my old movies and shows. But is she gonna be able to talk to anyone that isn't a full on film academic about it?

Or are we stuck in a world with a 6 second memory?

There are movies I've never seen that I can recognise references for.
My coworker sent me a website that lists all the references Terry Pratchett makes in the Discworld books for people not old or English enough to understand.

This thought has also been spurred by movies like Disney's Aladdin. Genie made so many references to mid 20th century celebrities.

As a kid I knew those references from other things like looney tunes.
Simpsons also make references like that, assuming their audience is already familiar.

There's probably academics who have already weighed in, but I wonder how much of that is caused by on demand video. Not just streaming though I see that doing most of the damage. But all forms of on demand video content.

oh man, I was literally in tears when the actual nurse practitioner asked if I had tried "other strategies". If the other strats had worked would I be here forking out mad cash to access meds that help me summon the will power to make dentist appointments???

You're giving them a lot of credit, doing the job themselves. I imagine them googling "cheap assassins in my area"

"Master Room" appears to be a porch.
"Master Roskin" is a bathroom with a bath tub, toilet, 2 entrances, and vanity with no sink.
"powder room" is larger than the master roskin.
The sad thing is I've seen enough bad/weird plans that this didn't immediately twig as AI

That is hardcore and I love it!
