What happens if a human is deliberately trying to fail the Turing test? Are we better at pretending to be machines than they are pretending to be human?

I did not like many vegetables at all as a kid.

Tomato and onion are two of my favorites

It's not a loophole if it's illegal. My guess is this counts as fraud.

A question about if the voting age should be lowered.

I said that it should be higher instead because teens are stupid. I was back then, and I was considered one of the smart kids in school.

I've been done with education for longer than I've been in education.

I hope kids nowdays get a well rounded education that is not just the bare necessities of read/write/count but if I had to make a choice I'd prioritize STEM over humanities.

I'd rather live in a boring world with too little music, literature and art where my car works and I've got water in the tap than the opposite.

They should not be that warm but it's about the limit of what is comfortable to touch.

What's the melting point of the regular filament? You're supposed to touch the oven knobs it so it's probably not much higher than 50 degrees.

Does it mean anything in itself to be in a simulation?

I don't really see how that would change anything in my day to day life.

Was there not a passage about how he washed feet or something?

I'd say blöt and degig translates to wet and doughy and they are about as close as wet or doughy. Maybe a nuance we're missing a word for in Swedish.

Do we have a word for it? Google translate suggestions are unsatisfactory to me .
