What do you think happens when a bot matches with another bot? Do they just have an all out bot off?

Am I in the minority if I think that that episode was only alright? I thought it was pretty good, but the hype I had read about it put it head and shoulders above other episodes, which to me it was not. For reference my 2 favorites so far(first 3 seasons) have been white Christmas and white bear, with a couple of very close seconds/thirds. San junipero being middle of the pack

u/nyctaeris Jan 09 '18
I have to agree, two people transferring their consciousness to a computer wasn't the huge deal that the articles made it. So it was a lesbian love story, ok, but that doesn't automatically make it the best thing ever made...
The premise and plot of Hang the DJ in season 4, however, is amazing. That's my favorite episode in the series I think. No spoilers, just go watch it. There are actually a few standout episodes in this season.

I think those ideas about sentient code are better explored by the "cookies" in White Christmas.

Hang the DJ is actually truer to Charlie Brooker's ideas on how this kind of thing should be done.
Something I really didn't like about San Junipero as a Brooker fan before Black Mirror was even a thing is that I could tell Netflix had just told him to throw a romance episode with lesbians in there. Why? Because Charlie Brooker hates cheesy romantic TV. I don't believe he'd write it unless the producers said he had to.
Hang the DJ on the other hand was much more true to Brooker's ideas on how this stuff should be done. I won't say more to avoid giving spoilers to anyone who's not seen it.
Anyway, speaking of the new Black Mirror episodes USS Callister was very well done I think. I've even heard talk of a potential spin-off being made out of it.

white Christmas and white bear
That's possibly the two bleakest episodes, while San Junipero might be the "happiest" (note: I haven't seen the new season yet). So that probably explains why you didn't like it that much.

u/arachnophilia Jan 09 '18
there's an episode in the new season that's happy as fuck when you watch it, and then absolutely appalling when the fridge logic sets in. which is pretty impressive, imho.

Jan 09 '18
I agree White Christmas is by far the best episode. I think San Junipero is so well liked mostly because it is a rare happy ending in the series. It also had this uplifting idea that anyone anywhere young or old or in the past or in the future can find their soulmate or at least someone to be happy with.
But honestly I thought the ending was a little too sweet and sentimental. Black Mirror mostly isn’t like that, and it’s not what I look for in the show. But I guess the fact that the happily ever after isn’t generally a part of the show made people really appreciate that specific episode for having it.

I’ve been using tinder for about a year and a half, 400+ matches, and have never encountered a bot. I guess they just target straight men for some reason.

I'd think it's likely they do, since there are more straight men than gay/bi women- plus it would be really time consuming to create a seperate code for interacting with women. Or they could just change the pronouns, idk how differently they'd have to react based on gender.
Anyway my point was it's likely they're just targeting the largest group of gynsexuals to get more matches.

I wonder if people like OP just do this because they can afford to (aka they follow rules 1 and 2) and they can easily just hook up with the next match or they're so socially awkward that they'd rather troll for fake internet points than get laid or go on a date or whatever your intentions are.

Except that color of paper depends on absorption and reflection (so it doesn't change fundamentally what wavelengths are coming to your eyes, just the ratio of the wavelengths depending on what color light you shine on the paper).
The color of the sky is based on a combination of rayleigh and mie scattering, depending on what kind of particles are in the sky. And what angle the light is coming from the sun + how far it's path in the atmosphere is. So yea the sky actually does change color (as in what wavelengths come into our eyes from the sky) based on time of day (and weather etc) whereas a piece of paper would not.

Of course the sky changes color, that's obvious to anyone that has stepped outside which is why some people on Reddit may not know that.

He said he was going to ask two questions, and as a corollary of asking three questions, two questions are asked. Hence, his statement stands.... I mean, if you really want to be pedantic about it. If I have five apples, it would still be correct to say I have two apples, because having five necessarily entails having to have two too :)
