Goddammit, Florida.

She was sick of Bugs' shit. If Elmer couldn't do it, she was going to do it.

Goddammit, Florida.

Her husband, who successfully petitioned for a restraining order after the incident, told deputies that Sandlin shrugged her shoulders when he confronted her about it and told him she did it because she was bored.

Florida must be really fucking boring if the only interesting thing to do is making your children watch as you decapitate their pets. -_-

So you guys shut the government down when Congress can't agree on a bill or something?
How is it still exist?

Specifically, the Conservatives refuse to negotiate.

Ironically, that make Iran more willing to talk then the republicans.

Hah!

...but no, that's terrible.

And so the challenge, I think... is to identify specifically what would you do. It's not enough just to say, get control of spending. I think it's important for you to say, I'm willing to cut veterans' benefits, or I'm willing to cut Medicare or Social Security benefits, or I'm willing to see these taxes go up. What you can't do—which is what I've been hearing a lot from the other side—is say we're going to control government spending, we're going to propose $4 trillion of additional tax cuts, and that magically somehow things are going to work."

This was all said some 3 years ago. You'd have thought the message would sink in by now.

It's pretty clear what they want to do: get credit for reducing federal spending without taking the flak over cutting programs that affect people. "We reduced how much the federal government spends!" sounds good, "We cut medicare/medicaid!" sounds bad, put simply. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this hasn't been explicitly discussed at some level in the GOP's leadership/backing. Not that the left is much/any better.

Warning! The WTF thread is in danger. Take this to the USA politics thread please, or risk this spiraling into a thread lock.

It's really unnerving when it gets to those last 3 questions or so and I know that it knows. I think it's learning what kinds of things I'll input as well. It's been asking me about videogames almost straight away now, and after trying 3 relatively obscure CoC characters in a row, it got them in fewer questions each time.

Try asking it about the curiosity rover. ;P

I think it develops general patterns. I haven't dug into the code or anything, but I think it takes a record of every answer used to describe a character, and uses those to help choose it's next questions.

Like, it always starts with a "boy or girl" question of some sort, which eliminates about half of the possibilities right off the bat. Then it chooses a slightly more specific question for #2, and so on and so forth until it has a (near) perfect match/matches and makes a guess. Though, many characters will have different answers for the same question, and that is factored in more or less depending on the balance between the answers. It also seems to try and zero in on more popular characters first, and gets increasingly obscure (to Aikinator, anyways) if it doesn't pan out. If Aikinator gives up entirely, you have the option to enter a new entry into his database or manually sift through it to find what you were looking for.

I say we do that with California.

Give it a few million years and plate tectonics might just take care of it for you.

No, I think it does ask questions based on your own personal results as well.
For example, after the aforementioned CoC answers, Akinator asked me about pornography a whole bunch. A lot.
Then I went and had it guess for a few of the Crescendolls, and after that it started asking about anime more frequently.

EDIT: Actually I think it just always asks about porn. The questions were pretty close on guessing Kamina (asking about giant robots and drills and stuff); and then it asks if my character is a porn actor.

Aikinator's train of thought: Tentacle Monsters > hentai > anime

He lives in the internet, so this makes perfect sense.

Wait, what do you mean by CoC, because all I can think of that matches that acronym is Call of Cthulhu, and the only notable character surrounding that game is Old Man Henderson.

I'm pretty sure forum rules mean that I can't tell you exactly what it is called; but I also suggest that you not google it.
Because it's a rather pornographic transformation and waifu collection game.
