[What has no thumbs and is sick to death of gods and sorcerers and magic spears and all the similar crap that keeps popping up? This AI.

Well, actually, her hologram has thumbs, but they're currently not visible behind the equally holographic folded arms.]

Poll: how many of you are from universes where the supernatural is real? Magic, gods, shoe-making elves that aren't just a parable about virtue, whatever.

[Why Grimm's Fairy Tales? Why not Grimm's Fairy Tales? It's all equally nonsense as far as thorough-going materialist Cortana is concerned.]

Thor's existence isn't a problem, but Thor hanging out with the Axis is?

[She's not sure about your priorities, kid.]

[headinjuries]

Yeah! I mean, I thought he was cool.

[There's cross-dressing.]

[headinjuries]

All I know about Norse mythology is that there was something with Loki and a horse.

[headinjuries]

It's not an insult. I'm a computer from five hundred years into your future.

[If she's insulting you, you'll know.]

[headinjuries]

So, about the future.

Should I even consider hoping that people will someday learn to not be stupid?

[steelandtemper]

Nope.

[headinjuries]

Thought so.
