A conversation starter a part of a long-con "butchering" scam? PUA-style "negging" as a prelude to a sales pitch? Or just some loser who gets a kick out of saying mean things to women, but needs AI to write his texts for him?

“Listen, guys, you might just want to sit this one out.”
Somewhere, deep down, we still nurse this little secret hope that one day they'll run out of awful people, but currently the supply seems to be inexhaustible.
Trans Caspian Pipeline, standing by!
I take it this is a Boston thing?
In New York, the fear is the grate will turn out to be electrified and we'll get blasted out of our socks by forty thousand volts of stray electricity.
Or if it's a manhole cover, that we'll step on it and be blown into orbit by a subterranean steam explosion.
How on earth did autocorrect manage to turn "for" into "against"? The letters aren't even close to each other on the keyboard.
In fiction, whenever some sinister group is trying to "immanentize the Eschaton" by committing human sacrifice on a massive scale, they're always Satanists or Cthulhu cultists or Illuminati or something.
In the real world, it turns out to be the Christians (or one particular sect of them anyway).
Bruh. It is one week from filing deadline. I need your help to maximize our matching funds!!!!
Please 🙏🏼 send us your taco money!

People DO love implausible escapism with no possible grounding in reality.
Which was ironic, because the only terrorists responsible for Bhopal turned out to be the kind who wear suits and have corner offices.
After all, it's not as if there's anything else going on at the moment to distract us.
It doesn't say! They wrote a whole article about it, and left out this essential detail! What a travesty of journalism!
Alas, the Guardian says "fourth digit". I share your disappointment.

I think you'll be OK so long as your vehicle has an extended warranty.
Could only be better if he'd gone on to become the lead singer of The The.
The one on the left gives you the clap, the one on the right gives you the stomp.
Still OK to rub the belly though, right?
Does he only do criminal law?
Because if he takes civil cases, watching him defend Ea-Nasir against accusations of supplying inferior copper would be spellbinding.
A screen capture of a tweet from Politics US. The text reads "Troops have been told by some superiors that the conflict in Iran is part of a biblical plan to bring about the end of the world One commander said President Trump 'has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran'."
With all due respect, these people sound like "President Trump has been chosen by Dumbledore to find the Golden Snitch & pave the way for the return of Harry Potter!"
It's great you've found a way to include your imaginary friend in all this, but these are real bombs you're dropping on real people.
"All the Beautiful Sinners" and a number of other books by Stephen Graham Jones and other horror writers are also available DRM-free in Humble Bundle's current book bundle.

And if it's not real, it's an absolutely first-class psyop.
If we ask really nicely, maybe they'll give us back the ones that didn't explode.
Embrace the inevitable. At the very least, I think you should start billing Duterte for legal services. Or give him hilariously bad legal advice. ("Good news, Mr. ex-President, I've just reincorporated you as a limited liability company in Lesotho, forcing an immediate change of venue to Maputsoe!")
Is this because they gave themselves an extra half-trillion dollars to spend on the military and now they don't know what to do with it?
Why are the Kuwaitis wasting Patriot missiles on innocent F-15s, when there are better targets available?
"Insufficient tokens remaining to rename this file. Click here to enter a new payment method."
There's obviously something horrific about the seemingly innocent term "fully modular", because it wouldn't be on-brand for them to deliver an OS that is unacceptable to their entire user base in only two ways. Maybe "modular" is industry code for "intrusive advertising in every corner of the UI?"
It's almost too bad that the US didn't invade Greenland, just so that soldiers could hear the unit zealot explaining how Donald Trump was divinely ordained to seize Nunavut in order to hasten the return of Jesus.
"We will light the fire of faith at the North Pole! Santa Claus himself is with us!"
Pup and Anti-Pup.
"I put the 'ass' in Lascaux, baby!"
The obvious candidate for a vampire in Trump's inner circle would be Steven Miller, but I guess there could be more than one.
