In his stead of Hock I am developing something that I term the Fock, wherein I will embark on my own parallel expedition to intercept /u/SkookumTree and have my yet-to-be-disclosed way with him.


It may or may not have the benefit of resolving his virginity question, depending on interpretation of my forthcoming but cryptic journal entries.


I kindly ask the mod team to not interfere with my own salacious status updates which I hope to share with TheMotte periodically during slow news days to maximize engagement.

This sentiment is completely alien to me and every other right-thinking person. Like most here, upon my death I plan to reward my retinue by having them buried alongside me, alive if necessary, provided that they have taken every effort prior to my demise to lay down their own lives in service of my health and wellbeing.


However, if I am displaced from my retinue for whatever reason, an impromptu cadre of hotel employees will have to suffice - but I’ll grant them some measured appreciation in the hereafter for their necessary sacrifice.

Yes unless you’ve been reported (very common and you’ll have no indication). Also, I know a group who has a bot screen cap all profiles for mining/analytics so you’re not escaping that one.

I learned about the Children’s Creche from Alpha Centauri. Base improvement. +2 growth and +1 morale.




Proper care and education for our children remains a cornerstone of our entire colonization effort. Children not only shape our future; they determine in many ways our present. Men and women work harder knowing their children are safe and close at hand. And never forget that, with children present, parents will defend their home to the death.

Planet: A Survivalist's Guide

Prior to covid he was probably averaging sex with 5 different partners a week. He was a divorcee, so he could also claim to have managed to do the whole long-term relationship thing too.

You raised concerns of delaying having kids later being bad because of aging related degradation of your seminal genetic material, which honestly isn't that big a deal for men.




Any relationship between delayed paternity and having autistic children?

Will you ever permit LLMs to populate content surrounding the bare links if it were to come back? I’m experimenting with an offline Motte which autogenerates discussion trees via local LLMs LoRA-tuned on Motte’s corpus of personalities.
