AAAAAAAAAAGH, FUCK NO
It occurs to me that robot baby probably isn't all that difficult. How many functions does the AI need, anyway? Cry, flail, eat, vomit, poop, sleep... I think that's basically it.
Depends on how realistically you want it to simulate emotions, I'd guess.

My own experience with robots suggests that such things might be quite hard to accomplish convincingly, given that the machine's response to a protocol for picking up and moving a box was to wildly 360 across the carpet at me.

Tonight is the meeting to see if I can afford/attend parachuting classes and after that maybe even do some jumps. I'm nervous as fuck about it. Because holy shit if this goes trough, it's like, one of the big bucket list things that I've wanted for the longest time. Not sure where to go after that.

Spoiler: Bad joke (click to show/hide)

More seriously though, that doesn't sound too unrealistic if it was trying to emulate the behaviour of a human baby...

My teeth will probably rot out of my skull before I get a chance to buy a new toothbrush (they don't sell proper toothbrushes in this state). D:
If it's any consolation, I often forget to brush my teeth, and haven't been to a dentist in... what, ten years? People comment on how nice my teeth are (which is really awkward because I hate people looking at my mouth/face).
Hang on, that's not consolation, that's just me bragging. Um. Listen, your teeth will probably be fine. You can have a couple of mine if they're not.
Thank you so much for the offer! I've been really worried about them lately. :')
I'll be around sometime with the pliers and chloroform. Do you want to leave a window open or shall I just break in?

If you go round the back, there's a door I always forget to lock. Just be careful of the razor wire at throat height. Also, sometimes bear traps appear in the carpet, so you might want to look out for that. If the house starts filling with green gas, don't worry, that's definitely just bug spray.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Yes, that's real life.

Long-exposure shot of an ICMB-MIRV test, eight warheads reentering. Long time ago, but still scary as shit, and the first actual image of warhead-reentry I've ever seen.

Hitler used gas too.

There. I wasn't even a part of a discussion and compared someone to Hitler. I think I completed all the steps to become a professional shitlord.

There are only two sure things in life: death and taxes and lists and poor arithmetic and overlong jokes and poor memory and probably a few more things.

Life... life sucks. The issues in my life continue to get worse... and they definitely scare me. Can't say much more right now, but...

So mom just came and told me that she's going to drive dad to the nearby hospital because his heart was/is beating unusually.
