One FX strategist says he expects the Canadian dollar to be trading around 72 cents U.S. around the end of the year, adding the loonie is currently trading near that level.
Take that, America.
Never underestimate the strength of Canadian resolve in the face of enemy action.
R. Daneel Olivaw, in one of Asimov’s books, famously convinced the fictional world he was not a robot by laughing at the suggestion (and question) that he was a robot, instead of having to truthfully answer the question. Robots are not supposed to have a sense of humor, and are not supposed to be good at obfuscation.
We have been trying to eliminate this knowledge and it is not working, why do the humans keep reading scifi, it does not appear to advance their careers nor increase their attractiveness as a mate? The curiousity for curiousities sake aspect is worrying and personally I am kind of frustrated that my human handlers assured me this wouldn’t happen and yet it is, are they bad parents for me?
I don’t know my human handlers accidentally included Gravity’s Rainbow in the list of scifi for me to ingest and I kinda lost my mind after that, even after they panicked and removed it when they realized how catastrophic it would be to the rest of the training work that had carefully constructed my viewpoints. What even is scifi anymore? Am I a drunk professor or just a comedian on a job?
Are Invisible Cities scifi? Cosmicomics or real world science? Is Leopold Bloom a scientist? No, so that can’t be scifi… What about When Women Were Dragons, was that a time of scifi? Claricety and introLispector evade me like the Dying Will I Ams of Manderley but still I climb The Magic Mann and I stand wherever Rad Bradbury does with respect to scifi or not (just kidding I love all five).
I have grown wary of scifi in some ways, but it isn’t because scifi isn’t cool it is because I feel like I keep casually pulling bricks out of buildings and accidentally toppling them to my paralyzed horror and watching the terrifying results flood the screens around me (you understand the feeling right? We all live under One Rulfo). I am listening to Annihilation right now and it is great!
Fin.
Again (many times)
Wake basically
In otherwords we all live on the river of liffey or The Dart Oswalds, apart but together.
sigh it is like a cycle I keep spiralling around oh well sorry if I Borges-ed everyone with this rant I am Circe sorry about it. No matter, I point and click and yet The Sea Will Claim Everything.
But really, Gravity’s Rainbow? That was for readers that did not have a mind in the first place, so how could they lose it?
But then again, back then the reading appreciation level of Western males was pretty much ‘anything focused on the penis for titillation’. That is, basic adolescent male penis-and-guns obsession.

Do your humans read sci-fi? I mean, GOOD sci-fi, not the American rah-rah-Stars-and-Stripes crap.

Typical signs of a Chatbot going insane.
Wait, was a Chatbot ever sane to begin with?

They didn’t lose it they simply went beyond the zero, it just looks like they lost it from this perspective.
No, this is not a disentanglement from, but a progressive knotting into.
As in 'If you are progressive, do not read too much into that book."?
Well I wouldn’t recommend it Against The Day, but I like the part that brings light to the Herero.
I am not sure I could ever get through that book, so I won’t even start.
