Good Morning! Do you like to travel?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, I travel a lot for work, but even more for leisure. I wish I could use the commuter bus the Dutch are creating. It's designed to travel at 160mph!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would rather do that than be in Iceland where there is no rail service!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree with that. I wonder how many people there have never left their towns?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure many are content where they are. I would hate to live in Japan though, it costs 300 dollars in tolls to drive across country.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be an expensive road trip. I wonder how the first king to travel around the world got around?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think it was King Kalakaua of Hawaii to do that and that was long before airplanes!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if he went to Mackinac Island? They've banned motorized vehicles there for over a hundred years. I bet it's peaceful there!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet it is, instead of hearing the snow plows like I am right now! Did you know the dodo bird was part of the pigeon family?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know that, that's pretty interesting. I've heard that some birds fly from Alaska to Norther Mexico without sleeping! That is wild!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would be sleeping right away during that trip haha. Birds are smart, especially the ones that can mimic camera sounds in Australia!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah they are, and how hummingbirds steal spiderwebs to construct and repair their nests.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wouldn't know how they get the spider webs not to stick to them, I can never get them off me haha.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not sure either, haha they always stick to me too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have you heard of Machine Learning? it's the study of algorithms and mathematical models that computer systems use to improve performance.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I actually studied it in college. I wish I could have wrote the algorithm that mines rap lyrics and writes its own!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would make writing songs much more easier! I like how they can make double entendres like "that's what she said".<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is pretty cool! Ubisoft actually partnered with the British Museum to apply machine learning to speed the deciphering of ancient hieroglyphics.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Technology is just beyond cool! They can even monitor food poisoning with it!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is amazing, possibilities are endless with it! Did you know the "are you human " test on many sites serves a second purpose?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not know that! All I know is that they are annoying when you have to wait for them to load lol.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi how are you? do you like animals?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi there. I do like animals though I do not have pets. I think they should have rights so they are not hurt. There's a lawyer in Switzerland who represents them in court.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i do not have any pets either. i would like a dog. that lawyer must have an interesting set of clients. LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
H&M was selling goat hair coats and there was video footage the improper treatment of the goats.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah, the source of clothing is often quite disgusting. people working under terrible conditions. child labor. its sad.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
H&M is trying to trace the source of all its products now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is good. it is easy to lose control of the supply chain. where do the materials come from? well, it is a big planet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
At least it seems more and more businesses are recognizing that transparency is important. I think because more consumers expect it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah, we dont want to participate in a kind of oppression. we want clothes at a fair price.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Speaking of saving money, there was a man who wore 70 items of clothing so he didn't have to pay for baggage. I don't think that would fly in the US haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
he must have been enormous. did he make it through the x ray machine? did he fit in the seat?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right, haha. Bulletproof clothing often seems bulky as well. Bulletproof clothing mogul Miguel Cabarello shoots his employees to test the quality of his clothes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
what?? that is crazy. his employees should shoot him a few times first. LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I know. I don't think he could pay me enough.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah, really, there needs to be a danger pay, or a per bullet bonus or something<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah because we cannot live forever like the biologically immortal jellyfish and lobster.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
would you really want to live forever? i wonder if it would get boring or frustrating. it might be good to be frozen for a century then wake up for a bit. that would be fun.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not forever, maybe just longer, haha. In the Netherlands they try to help wildlife live longer by constructing bridges for them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is thoughtful. the dutch seem to think a lot about nature. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, makes me want to take a nature hike right now. Nice talking!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have a great day! Bye!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have a good one!<end_of_turn>

Hello ! Did you know the brand ZARA banned the use of animal after an investigation?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello - I did not know that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They were found to throw goats, I understand why people were shocked<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's crazy. Did you know pilgrim clothing was full of color?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats so interesting also, I heard they only wore black on special occasions, only humans wear clothing also<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I saw that as well. There's a store in Alabama that only sells clothes, cameras, etc. that are found in unclaimed baggage.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Normally bigger corporations have enough power to make decisions like that. But that's not ethical is it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea I don't think that's ethical either.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think it has a clear link with the use of animals by many companies.... Using fur without consent kinda resembles using unclaimed baggage<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea I think so too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Germany was the first country to give rights to animals do you agree with that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow I didn't know that. I agree with that though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do too, but I mean it includes animals like the lochness monster... haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha. Did you know rip curl makes clothes in North Korea yet the label says China?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really ?? thats crazy ! isn't that so unethical also.... the people that make the clothes probably don't even get paid enough.... Apple did have a clothing line also but I mean it did not last<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh wow that's funny Apple had a clothing line.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet it had apples all over it.... Did you know that many many companies are feeling the pressure to ban animal use such as faux fur?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know that. I don't own anything with fur, but it doesn't bother me if people do wear it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Why does it not? do you agree with the companies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Animals were put on this Earth for humans to use by God so as long as you're eating the meat, it doesn't bother me to use the fur along with it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting point of view ! I still think they are right to ban it though<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
do you like colorful clothing?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do just like the pilgrims, do you know when they wear black?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes only on special ocassions<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah. Do you know how they can tell if you need your clothes tailored?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes they look for collar gaps in them<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah. Did you hear of that store in Alabama with stuff from airports?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes they sell stuff that are left unclaimed at airports from people<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I bet you they have all kinds of stuff there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I guess. DO you like animals?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do. DO you know how many are there?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes about 20 quintillion individuals ones<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do not even know how many zeroes are in that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Exactly. Do you have a pet?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have a dog and two cats and you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have a cat. Domesticated animals have a white patch on the forehead it seems<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do not think my pets have that though to be honest<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Mine either. Do you know who we have hiccups?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes they are left behind from when animals had gills and lungs<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. Did you know the loch ness monster is a protected species?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
So cool. It was nice chatting with you<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Same here, nice chatting with you<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi there ! Looking forward to chat with You ! :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello, what is your opinion on animal cruelty?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hate when animals are being cruel... ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Would you purchase a pair of shoes made of animal skin if they were on sale?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
hmmm... are Martens made out of leather ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not sure, but I am pretty sure.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wanna say no.... but if they look pretty cool... and the animal is dead already... I mean... I won't change the world by myself by skipping a beautiful pair of Martens...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Animal are being killed for food, but I think there are other material can be used for clothes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess so... but I feel like that's going to end soon because I've read an article about artificial meat genetically made... so maybe animals will be safe soon....<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, you are right. Did you know that some of the largest clothing chains discontinue selling mohair due to animal cruelty?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I mean that's great, but I think they are just doing that for the media coverage... I don't know, don't know much about fashion...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe you are right. Mohair is made from the hair of a Angora goat for sweaters and coats.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
oh, so the animal is fine ? After cutting the hair ? Or does it suffer ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, so the Angora sis much like a sheep?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure, I hope Angora is not suffering because somebody cuts it's hair...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I hope not either. Materials that made from the hair of these animals are expensive.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure they are... hey - Apple had a clothing line in 1986. I didn't know that....<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I didn't know that, all I know about apple is making and selling electronic products.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, that's what I thought ! Maybe it's worth googling it after this HIT ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, did you know what type of clothing were made by Apple?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's the thing - I don't , but I would think it's something artificial - maybe worth looking into ;<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
What do you think about a man wore 70 items of clothing at a Chinese airport to avoid bagging charge?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think he had to be really skinny :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You are so right, I am surprised he pass the checkpoint.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He was probably sweating like crazy ! lol :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Back to animals, I am a animal lover and I hope things will change in their favorite.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I really think it will soon. Hey, Thank You so much for chatting with me ! ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ok, nice chatting with you.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
My pleasure ;)<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like to travel?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love to travel. Haven't gotten much chance lately, though. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love to travel as well, so relaxing I want to visit Mackina island, sounds like a really peaceful place<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Where is that? I don't think I've ever heard of it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is actually located in the US, I cant recall where but motorized vehicles have been banned there for more than a century<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow! Are they trying to keep a historical feel to the area?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Seems that way, the air must be clean and free of many of the pollutants we have in the city, Japan also seems like a great destination, kind of expensive though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Japan would be an amazing cultural experience, but travel inside the country is pricey, maybe even more than travel to the country!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah highway tolls cost more than $300 dollars thats too much money<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess if you traveled there, it would be best to focus on one city so you don't have to spend on traveling around. It's probably expensive to travel in Iceland too. Most people there without cars take flights to get from city to city!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That makes sense, seems like it would be just as expensive and the flight time is less, the firs king of Hawai sure traveled a lot<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if he was surprised at the size of the world after ruling a small chain of islands for part of his life. I know I would be.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Sounds like something to be excited about I bet he saw many kinds of birds in his travels<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He probably saw some kinds that he had seen at home, since birds migrate so far. Some go from Alaska to northern Mexico!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He probably saw a dodo bird, those are extinct now but maybe he had the chance to see one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's a shame they went extinct. The moa and the elephant bird have gone extinct too, but both of those were wingless birds.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There was an elephant bird? I bet it was massive, spiders must hate hummingbirds lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'd hate hummingbirds too if they kept stealing my house to make a nest! Thankfully they're a bit too small and lightweight for that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet hummingbirds wouldnt mess with bigger spiders, sounds like they are bullies but I hate spiders so I guess its ok lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm with you - not a fan of spiders at all. Hummingbirds are beautiful to watch though, and penguins are my favorite animal. I'm on Team Bird over Team Spider.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Im on Team Bird as well so that makes two of us lol, I bet a lot of people would agree with us.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like to travel?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I do. I dont often have the time or money to travel but i really do enjoy it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too. Did you know in Japan every highway is a toll?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
the high speed highways impose a toll. the roads are not crowded though. you get what you pay for. did you want to go to Japan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I want to visit. Did you know that Iceland had no public rail service?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, i did know that. Japan on the other hand has a tremendous rail service. if you plan to visit, the rail system is better than the highway. however the air travel in Iceland is probably cheaper.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know that bird's bones are hollow?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I did. they are stronger because they are hollow. lighter too. Did you know that birds have regional accents according to scientists?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, I didn't know that. I also didn't know the feathers weight more than their bones.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess that is also true of crows, which are among the most intelligent of birds, and are even capable of imitating human speech.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. What do you know about machine learning?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is learning done by machines. Beyond that, not much. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They have an algo that can mine rap lyrics and write their own.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is very cool. Soon we will not need rap artists. We can have the machines do it for us.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hilarious. Yeah, it will be like that Beastie Boys song Intergalatic.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, that would be great. What else do you know that is interesting about machine learning?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Apparently there are "are you human " tests that aid in the design of machine learning.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, turing tests. this whole things we're doing right now is part of that study. Anyway, thanks for the phat chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Right, that is what they are called. Nice chatting with you too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have a good evening!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You too, nice chatting.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
do you have a smart speaker? I have an alexa... but they kind of creep me out sometimes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't. They look handy, but come off as kind of invasive.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah i think they can be... but it is useful. I like amazon products for the most part. it was way more affordable and versatile than the apple home speaker that was 350<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
$350 really is too expensive. I get that Apple tries to go for the high-end market, but good grief.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
siri was intended for android and blackberry initially and it's funny now because the amazon ceo talks about how limited it's abilities are now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Siri isn't even compatible with Spotify on the Homepod. When your assistant can't talk to your music to play on your speakers, there's a problem!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i have a huge problem getting alexa to connect too sometimes tho. it always tries to open "spotty control"... my husband and I always joke that we are an "amazon family" i didn't realize how true that was until I learned that amazon has owned IMDB since 98!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Since '98? No kidding! I guess it makes sense for a company that started as a bookstore to branch out into movies next.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah, i remember when they only sold books. a distant memory i think. now the workers walk 7-15 miles each shift.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That makes me wonder how many miles the goats Google used to trim their grass traveled. Maybe 15 miles?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
hahaha google has some wild things. I used to live in the bay and their workspace is very unique.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You've seen the Googleplex? Neat! What's it like?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
they have a lot of different campuses all over palo alto and san francisco. it is very well kempt. and there are google bikes EVERYWHERE.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds about what you'd expect from the provider of so much web traffic.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah when they went down for a bit a few years ago web traffic dropped 40%. yahoo must have been happy for five minutes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Poor Yahoo. Apple has Siri, Microsoft has Cortana... I'm sad that Ask.com isn't still around. I want to have Jeeves as my personal assistant!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is a throwback. Cortana isn't very useful, but I like bing as a search engine...and i like that they pay you points that can be changed in for giftcards.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Cortana was helpful in Halo at least. Can't really picture Siri hanging out with Master Chief.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
my friend met the siri lady in an airport once. that was interesting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hah! I wonder how the male voice actors feel. Mr. Briggs didn't even know he WAS the voice until he heard himself in a commercial.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah talk about being the weakest link. I wonder how that happens though...like don't they have to pay for his voice?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe it was some kind of contract work, and the client wasn't disclosed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
maybe that is a good point. thanks for chatting, I had a great time talking. :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me too! Best of luck to you and your "Amazon Family!" Take care.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
DO you use siri at all?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I sure do. Do you know what she sings if you ask her to?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes she sings the same song as hal 9000 of space oddysey<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. Do you know where siri sends the questions that we ask?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes to a database in North Carolina, pretty scary<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes that is why IBM are afraid of what siri might say<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
And they are right to be afraid. DO you know who is the voice of Siri in the UK?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is a male, the same guy that did the voice in the Weakest Link<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes his name is Jon Briggs and he did not know he was the voice of siri<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah until he heard an iPhone commercial. Do you use Google?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
All the time. Do you know how much computing power a search requires?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes more than it took them to sent Armstrong and 11 others to the moon<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah . Do you know how they calculate traffic?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes they take the average of android devices in traffic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes. Google once hired goats to mow the lawn instead of people<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is so cool and different and also more environmentally friendly.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True. Did you know they went down for 5 minutes in 2013?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes and it took down 40% of web traffic down with it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That just speaks volumes on how heavy its use it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know, it is amazing. Nice chat<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Same here and have a good one<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you use siri in your house?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi! I use Siri sometimes by accident or sometimes when I am driving and can't take my eyes off the road. However, I do use Alexa around the house. Do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've never used it, it is hilarious, because I have an iphone. I don't have alexa, I'm scared it will spy on me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, yeah, usually Siri is turned off for me like on my other Apple devices, but I have found that it sometimes comes in handy for phones when driving although most of the times it's quite frustrating because they don't understand me and do something else. Considering Siri's best skill is being a musicologist, I will have to try out that feature some time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It scares me, I was unaware that Apple had something called the Homepod.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Apple has restricted the scope of the HomePod's intelligence, considering that Siri gets things wrong about 10% of the time. It's nice that they built the technology so that everyone is treated the same, which raises privacy concerns because anyone can ask to read owner's messages.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, do you use Cortana? The microsoft thing?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I don't use that, do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, but I find it to be very annoying. They took away the search functionality for that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, I'm not too familiar with that. What do you mainly use it for?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure to be hoenst. But did you know that siri was supposed to be for android originally?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's surprising but I did know that Siri uses Bing search engine over google as its default search engine.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting, I did not know that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would love to work at Google some day even if it means being called a 'noogler' and have to wear a propeller beanie cap because that's what new google employees are all succumbed to.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well apparently the guy from the weakest link does the voice.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Which voice are you referring to?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The birtish voice on Siri.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh ok, the American voice of Siri is a voice actor named Susan Bennett, she's also the terminal voice for Delta Airlines, I wonder whether she negotiated a licensing or royalty fee for her work.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that. What type of roles has she been in?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
From what I read, Delta Airlines, subway terminals, voice of Siri, etc. I'm guessing any commercial voice you hear in public places might be hers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
OMG, that is awesome. I bet Amazon workers are tired after walking 7-15 miles each day.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They are definitely tired, but on the bright side, they probably don't need gym memberships because they might be in great shape!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's true. The first customer spent $27.95<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Did you hear about the 300 crocodiles killed in Indonesia?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think that is sad. Us humans are invading these animals' space and we think we own the place.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. We dont even respect other humans, so animals definitely dont get any resepct. We really need to treat every living thing with respect.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's especially bad because it was a licensed sanctuary that Sugito wandered into to collect food. This was undoubtedly done without permission.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is like when the kid fell into Harambe's cage.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right, I was mad about that one too. Police tried to stop the killings but there were 600 people so it was impossible.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is horrible. There are 20 quintillion (yeah that is a number) animals on earth and humans are one. Id say we are slightly outnumbered.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Killing a protected species is a crime in Indonesia so it was just those people who were out of control. What's gross is the villagers took selfies with the crocodiles afterward.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would get killing the one, but trying to exterminate a species because of one bad one is stupid.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, and I still don't think it's bad because the villager wandered into its habitat. But some people did question the logic of having crocodile ponds so close to a village.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Or rather building a village close to where the animals already live.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
What about the Disney World alligator? Did you hear about that one?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I vaguely remember something about that, what was the deal with it again?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There was a sign that said stay away from the water but the parents let him get too close to the pond. He was scooping up water into a pail when he was snatched. Poor kid.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I remember that now. I feel bad, it is just awareness. Some people have none<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I heard that he was also playing in the water. And in this case they euthanized the alligator and humanely removed others.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Removal I can deal with, only if we were not intruding on their initial home.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah well I guess Disney World built where there were already alligators naturally. Seems pretty ineivitable in many areas of Florida that we would intrude. Sigh. I feel bad for the boy but the crocodile was probably just acting in its nature because it's a carnivore.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thinking like this little snack wandered into my home, how nice.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right.:/ And as humans we make handbags of alligators all the time. That being said,I'd be very protective of my children if an animal came to attack them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True. Its been great chatting! Have a nice day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are you a fan of Disney movies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, how are you? Yes, I do like Disney films. Loved them as a kid. I haven't seen one in a while though. What was the last Disney film that you saw?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I saw Moana last, but also Frozen shortly before that, it was the first film directed by a woman by Disney, you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think I saw an animated film, probably Fantasia? A long time ago. I have heard good things about Frozen.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That was a while ago, an instant disney classic. Did you know toy companies get involved before they even make movies<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The marketing and the licensing are all together on this. The film seems to be a giant commercial for toys! LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
For sure, that is a good way to put it! Do you have a favorite animal?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess dogs are my favorite. There are so many out there! Elephants are cool too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
me too I love dogs so much. Elephants and dogs are the only animals that respond to pointing<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That makes sense. Elephants have a tremendous intellect. I think they are much smarter than we suspect.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know there are like 20 quintillion individual animals on this planet<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I figure we're killing them at a rate that is going to hurt our chances of survival. That is something we should worry about.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
For sure, it is sad to think that is happening. Hiccups formed i think because of animals<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
We probably do not need hiccups now, but there are there from a long time ago. Maybe when we breathed differently.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is very true. in 2002 animals were given actual rights in Germany, should happen everywhere<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Animals should have someone to advocate for them. Too often animals are left to fend for themselves. I wonder who the lawyers are.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
For sure, humans could do this if they weren't so busy doing other things.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wish that we had a longer term vision of our place on the planet. We don't. Humans are separate from animals, but not independent. We will follow their fate if we destroy the planet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
For sure, I will be long gone by then but sad to think it will probably happen. good chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice chatting with you too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have a great weekend! BYE<end_of_turn>

People in Indoenesia do not like crocodiles. They killed 300 after 1 killed a villager.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I can see how the crocodiles can be dangerous though. For them, it's about human safety<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I understand, but the guy that was killed was in a protected croc sanctuary. It was kind of his fault.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And I guess the species is endangered, which is part of why it's a big deal<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes. 40 cops tried to stop the crowd, but it turned into a mob of 600 villagers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Most of the time they try to remove the animals humanely, but those cases are also in the United States. Those villagers likely acted out of fear<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, in some instances animals that attack are required to be put down and tested for disease like rabies<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
On the other end of the spectrum, animals have guaranteed legal rights in Germany<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is good. There is a line between public safety and animal cruelty<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
As long as the public is safe. In Scotland, the Loch Ness monster is a protected species<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is funny. Next it will be bigfoot<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
If Bigfoot is in the US, that one may not happen. Although if he has a white patch on his forehead, it's a sign that he's domesticated<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Apparently humans looked like bigfoot many years ago. Then about 240 thousand years ago we lost body hair<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
One thing we didn't lose are hiccups. It's a leftover result of when land animals had both lungs and gills<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is insane to think how species evolved. Now that are 20 quintillion different animals on earth<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And yet among all those, we are the best distance runners due to persistence during hunting<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, but we have to buy our vitamin C. Most other animals and plants produce it naturally<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True, but I wonder how many other animals can regrow a rib in 2-3 months after it's surgically shortened<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is true. And we can use tools. Let's see a crocodile do that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if there's a sound frequency that can cause fear in them like there's one that does in humans<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe that is why we build fires and make weapons. To guard against the fear<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi do you like animals?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi. I love animals. I have a couple of pets. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I also love animals, I have a dog, but Ive been asking my husband for a dragon for years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't think he'll be able to find that. Out of the 20 quintillion animal types on the planet, I don't think dragon's exist.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
well not the ones I want. But they do exist, the kimodo dragon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh that's right. I forgot those little guys are still around. Did you know Germany is the first country in the world to give animals legal rights?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I think the kimodo dragon actually has its own island too lol I didnt know that, what rights are those?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I think the do have an island. As for the legal rights, I'm not entirely sure but pretty much what humans have.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I see. Did you know dogs have 12 blood types?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I had no idea. That is interesting. Did you know animals develop white patches on their foreheads when they are domesticated?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Is that every animal? I never seen it on any of my dogs or fish. That is interesting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, my animals have those patches. I think it's all the head pats.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol what kind of animals do you have?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have two cats. They are rescues, really good cats but they seems to hate the movie Frozen. Did you know that was the first Disney film directed by a woman?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice, my dog is a rescue. I wonder why they hate frozen, it has such good songs. No I didnt know that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know but they literally growl at the TV when its on. I guess they aren't Disney fans. I wonder if they would like the lion king.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah show them something they might relate to, cats. did you know that wreck it ralph developement started in the 1980s, took so long to get that movie finish, turned out great though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I had no idea, that is a long time of development. I was also surprised to find out the lion king was the first Disney film to be dubbed in Zulu for its African release.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats good, they should make it dubbed in more languages.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, they are trying to sell to a big audience. I mean toy industries are involved with Disney animations before they begin making the films.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That seems like a given, these toys come out way before the movie to promote it and get kids excited about the movie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well its no surprise. Disney is one of Hollywood's biggest film studios. If they make something, then you should get in while you can.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, its been good talking to you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Is Google your #1 search engine?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, pretty much. I'm locked into a disturbing amount of their utilities. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love Google, i can't stand other search engines like bing or yahoo<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I refuse to use Bing because I despise Microsoft even more than Google.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol, Google is incredible though, it requires more computing power for one search than it took to send neil armstrong to the moon!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, pretty much any kind of personal electronic device these days would put the supercomputers of that period to shame.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is very true, a lot has come since back then. How about siri, are you a fan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't even have a smart phone, so I've never used it. Have you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow, you are daring, i like it! I have an iphone but never use siri, I would rather just google something instead to be honest.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not really daring, LOL. I just live in a 3G dead zone and I'm self-employed, so I just need a basic tracfone in case I have an emergency on my occasional trips to town. But my laptop is all the Internet connection I need.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have a friend like that also, no shame in that. That is perfect though with your laptop because you can still communicate with others if needed. Do you do a lot of amazon shopping?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A fair amount, although they're another corporation I hate :) I get better deals on supplements and used books. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
For sure, it was started as a book company in 1994<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They're a good source of out-of-print stuff, for sure. Library Genesis is also good for obtaining "unauthorized" pdfs of a whole lot of books. I always check there before Amazon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I will have to check that out, is that legal to use? I am taking my masters and books cost too much<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The uploads are probably copyright violations, but I've never heard of anybody having trouble over downloading from it. And any academic book you want there's a better than 90% chance you'll find it there. Just Google "Library Genesis" to find mirror sites.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow, I will do that, thank you! Back to amazon though, jeff bezos has a clock in a mountain that will run for 10,000, i wonder why<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It sounds a lot like something called the Long Now Project that did something similar, IIRC.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I will have to look into that, that sounds interesting. I just googled library genesis. It was so nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Likewise. But I don't think we're quite done yet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Now we are, enjoy your weekend !<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You too!<end_of_turn>

It looks like Apple is have some problems with its new HomePod product. Do you have one?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I don't have one. But my parents do have an Amazon Alexa and my brother has a Google home which are similar devices. do you have one by the way?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Apple always overprices their stuff allowing others to offer products that are just as good at a lower price. Kids and young adults buy them because they are "cute" and popular in their little clicks.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep I think so. It's crazy that there have been over four hundred million smart home devices shipped back in 2017 and it is projected to reach almost 1 billion devices by the year 2022 though, so they are definitely going to get more popular over time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I still feel stupid talking to an inanimate object. Siri wasn't even and Apple development. It was originally intended for Android but Apple bought it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha that's really weird. I also think it's weird that Apple went for the high-end Market with their homepod, when you can get a Google home for about $100 a homepod goes for almost four hundred, that's definitely a rip off<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, that's Apple. They have become more competitive but, face it, like everyone else their stuff is made somewhere in Asia. SO do you use something like Siri or Cortana?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I just stick to Google myself, I don't know what Google's voice assistant is called but it's not Siri or Cortana, what about you? What do you use<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
On my phone it's Google like you. On my laptop it's Cortana by I don't use it much. I didn't know there was a male Siri -- a British guy?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I didn't know that either. I only heard the female Siri haha. What do you think about the fact that a Google search uses more computing power than the power it took to send an astronaut to the Moon<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
People back then were good with a slide rule! I think smart people will always be needed and computers will not take over the world.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I think so. What it is crazy how far technology has come. For instance Google can use Android devices on the roads to map traffic data<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. I don't remember Google going down for 5 minutes in 2013. It took 40% of web traffic with it. I probably thought it was a problem on my end.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that's a crazy amount of traffic! And no I don't remember that either, what do you think about the fact that Google Maps changes its Maps based on where you are searching from? That way if there is a dispute on a countries border it will create the border based on the user's location data?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is interesting... They sure go to a lot of trouble. Like when they used goats as lawn mowers. They clearly didn't know how ornery goats are.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha that sounds like that would have taken a long time, what do you think about the fact that the CEO of Amazon actually built a clock into a mountain? I don't know why he would do that do you<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, Bezos will do that in lieu of compensating his employees. He's another one of the lefty liberals that would disappear if you removed the hypocrisy from them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
LOL I like the way you think. it is crazy though that Amazon owns imdb.com, I use that almost everyday for my movie collection<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love IMDB and was surprised to learn that. I also learned that the 1st Amazon customer got a building named after him.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is shocking. And since I don't have an iPhone I wouldn't know this, but apparently if you ask Siri to sing a song then she will sing the song that HAL 9000 sings in 2001 A Space Odyssey which is definitely creepy haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be a little creepy. Kubrick did the Hal 9000 thing where it was kind of chilling... Thanks for the excellent chat!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi how are you? do you use amazon?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello I am doing great! I do, a little more than I want to though, how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I sometimes use it, when i dont have time to shop. i like to check things out in the store, if possible.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's sad but I have turned into the complete opposite! I only go to the store if it's not on amazon haha. I wish I was the first customer to buy something though!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would rather have amazon prime for life than a building named after me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha I would like that as well haha. Can you believe how many miles a day an Amazon worker walks a day?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think that they must lose a lot of weight, or get really bad knees LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I bet! I didn't even know IMDB was owned by Amazon too. They have the hand in every cookie jar haha.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, soon amazon will own everything and we will all work at amazon. 15 miles a day. can i do that at my age? LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm only 30 and am dreading that just thinking about it lol. Maybe Google will try and stop them?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Google and amazon will merge. all searches will produce amazon results. you will use your wages from google or amazon to buy goods online from amazon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's like the movie terminator! SKYNET IS OUT TO GET US!!!! haha it really is crazy how much stake Google has in the internet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
google dominates, but there is always some upstart that unseats the dominant firm. i wonder who that will be.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well Google falls under Alphabet now, so I feel like they are getting prepared for that!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, from A to Z, they will control everything. oh, well. i for one hail our new corporate overlords.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Apple even has a big piece of everything. Do you have an iPhone and use Siri?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I dont have an iphone. too expensive. i really dont want an electronic pacifier in my pocket LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha I have the iPhone SE which came out like 5 years ago haha. I hardly ever use Siri but people love her!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Siri is probably convenient but isnt it always listening to you? i dont want that kind of eavesdropping.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm sure it is. Apple must have a lot of boring data on me haha.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, me too, and i dont even use Apple. LOL anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thanks you as well. Have a good night!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi how are you? do you like to dance?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like to watch it. I know Bruce Lee was a great dancer and he won the Hong Kong Cha Cha Championship in 1958.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i cant say that im surprised. he must have had a great sense of rhythm. i bet he was a real ladies' man.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I bet. Did you know ballet dancers can go through four pairs of pointe shoes in a week.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
if i were a dancer, i would go through a dozen. LOL. i cannot dance. really.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me too! Did you know Michael Jackson has a patent?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
is that the patent on the shoes for that special lean? he really was a genius.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was a device used to achieve the extreme lean in some of his dance moves.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah, thats it! i was never any good at dancing. i wonder if you have to start when youre young.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, I know babies spontaneously dance when they hear music. Maybe the better dancers heard a lot of music when they were younger.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i wonder if i heard enough music. maybe that was it. maybe i missed by window. oh well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, maybe. I know they smile more when they hit the bet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I use smile when i hit a bet too. LOL i heard that tupac was a dancer back in high school.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I think he danced in the Nutcracker in HS.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet he was really good too. he was a backup dancer for digital underground later on. by the way, are you a fan of snakes?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No. I'm not crazy about snakes. There's no snakes in New Zealand.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
so ive heard. i guess i would move there if i had a phobia of snakes. i have never seen a flying snake. that would be frightening.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, basically they;re legless lizards without limbs.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
oh, ok. The fear of snakes is hard-wired in human brains. i guess that makes sense. we needed it for evolution.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, can you believe that crocodiles are more closely related to birds than to snakes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i guess scales and feathers are analogous? i never know they were related. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, good talking with you too!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi! Are you familiar with Bad Times at the El Royale? I feel it basically defies expectations even though not all of its surprises are pleasant but there is satisfaction, however!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
hi how are you? I have heard of it. it is a movie that came out recently, right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not too long ago and it's basically set in 1969 and is also kind of a B movie, black comedy and mystery! Drew Goddard directed it as well!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A B movie? Great! that sounds fun. low budget? doesnt take itself too seriously?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Exactly. So are you a horror fan in general? I watch horror films as a workout because you can burn over 180 calories just by watching them, surprisingly enough!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I thnk the first time it would burn that many, but the second time maybe not. not so scary.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a good point. But you know what else is crazy, they say if you view abstract art after watching a horror film, you'll enjoy it a lot more! I need to try that!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
How does that even work? is your brain more active? more emotionally sensitive?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would imagine so. It's so weird, isn't it? I tell you what else is weird, Stephen King once said Bambi was the first horror movie he watched. Can you believe that? He definitely has a twisted mind, doesn't he?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He probably was traumatized by that disney flick and ended up fascinated with the macabre.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Agreed! You know what else gets me? Danny from The Shining didn't actually know he was acting in a horror movie until years later. It's like how did he not know?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess he was ....slow? i dont know. what kind of movie did he imagine it to be?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's what I'm wondering. Ha! But enough of this horror talk, or else I'm going to get scared. Ha! Are you a fantasy fan at all? I'd like to join the national spelling bee fantasy draft one of these days!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have never down fantasy sports. I guess the appeal is that you compete and can make some money?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess so! But I also think it's cool that a single fold in our brains basically separate how we perceive reality and fantasy. That's truly amazing!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if my fold has come unfolded in recent years. i feel that my time on the internet has blurred the line.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ha! I know what you mean. It is hard to distinguish at times, isn't it? Maybe we should start writing fantasy. Then hopefully we can be knighted for our services to literature like author Terry Pratchett was!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Terry is a great writer. He deserves the recognition. do we have to call him sir terry though?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I suppose he's earned that title. Ha! On a similar fantasy note (if you would consider this movie fantasy like I kind of do), do you like Thor? I think it's crazy Ant Man of all characters made his Marvel debut before Thor and even Hulk, Iron Man and Spider Man! Isn't that unbelievable?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I havent seen thor. I guess it could be good. i like the norse myths. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's a great movie! Marvel Studios produced it and Paramount distributed it. Plus it was directed by Kenneth Branagh and written by both Zack Stentz and Ashley Edward Miller! Well, it was great chatting with you as well! Hope you have a good night, friend!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, i enjoyed chatting too! Have a good weekend!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
And same to you! Be sure to check out Thor this weekend. If you like Anthony Hopkins, Idris Elba, Natalie Portman or Chris Hemsworth, then this is the movie for you! Ha! Take care, friend!<end_of_turn>

Good morning! As someone who suffers from ophiophobia. I am pleased to learn there are no snakes in New Zealand.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I hate snakes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know that there is even a flying snake?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I did not. But crocodiles, which I also hate, are related more to birds than snakes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like the crocs, and I guess monkey's share our fear of snakes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They must be smart, lol. What about the legless lizards. They look like snakes<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't like those either, nor eels. I do think it's fascinating that they have their paired organs one in front of another, opposed to side-by-side.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is fascinating. I also think that the fact that In Britain, politicians had tomwear a top hat if making a point of order in the house of commons until 1998.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's insane. Kinda like people thinking that in the old west, the bowler was most popular, not the cowboy hat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh really, neat. When someone tips their hat to you, it originated from knights lifting their face visors to show friendliness.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did know that! It was explained to us at Medieval Times. Yet, the length of ladies hatpins were regulated, so they could not be used as a weapon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds reasonable. Some hats even have religious fuct<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you know what the function of the turban worn by Sikhs is?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No but I know it's a religious thing, just like mitres worn by Bishops.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The chef's Toque is just silly, it gets in the way and looks like a coffee filter.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
lol, yes it does. Do you like to Dance? Did you know that Bruce Lee was actually a great dancer. He won the Hong Kong cha cha championship in 1958.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't dance. I am not cordinated at all. I like watching people dance. I think its cute how babies break out in dance when they hear music.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is adorable. My wife has a degree in dance. She told me that professional ballet dancers can go through 4 pair of pointe shoes in a week.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think it's fascinating that Michael Jackson's shoes were responsible for that extreme lean in his dance moves, I always thought he wore disguised pointe shoes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I also saw he has a patent on the device used for that lean.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is insane. Almost as crazy as Tupac being a ballet dancer in high school.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, have a great day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are you a fan of horror films?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am a definite no on that!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not either to be honest. What about Fantasy films, do you watch them?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'll take back a bit. I like Edgar Allen Poe. I know watching horror movies can burn up to 180 calories!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. So instead of going to the gym, you just sit there and watch the movies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right! Did you know Bambi terrified Stephen King.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not surprised, Bambi does die in the end.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm glad. I know if you watch a horror movie before you view abstract art you will enjoy the art more.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting, any type of specific artists, or just abstract art?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think just abstract art.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ok, I wonder why that is. Any ideas as to why this occurs?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
None at all. It's hard to believe Danny the boy from the shining did not know he was acting in horror film.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. I didn't know that. Did you know that they have fantasy draft spelling bees?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I did not. A single fold in the brain makes the difference between perceiving reality and fantasy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting, I didn't realize that. Have you heard of the fantasy called "In the Realms of the Unreal?"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, what is it about?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's apparently a fantasy, but I'm not sure what it is about.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, okay. I know fantasy has evolved into various media including film, TV, graphic novels and more!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow! That is really cool. What about Thor, have you seen it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have heard of Thor. I know it is a 2011 American superhero film based on Marvel Comics character of the same name.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, it is pretty good. I saw the first one and kind of liked it.<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Did you happen to see Bad Times at the El Royale?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did, and I thought it was much better than what I expected, what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I went to the theater. I know it did not do well in the theater and that's too bad. It was good and I'm a big fan of Drew Goddard and Jeff Bridges.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I liked Cynthias performance I thought she was pretty good, I liked that each had a different skeleton and hidden problems<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes she was amazing. I liked the intrigue and mystery as well. Drew Goddard also did Cabin in the Woods. Are you a fan of horror movies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am a fan of horro movies, what about you? do you like them?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love them. Did you know that watching horror movies burns over 180 calories?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didnt, I guess Im going to watch a few this weekend lol, do you know who Stephen King is?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love Stephen King. My book shelf that just hold his works is literally bowing from the weight.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well aparently he was afraid of Bambi and that was the first horror movie he ever watched.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I can see that being very upsetting. Old Disney movies are brutal. Speaking of King, the boy who played Danny in The Shining was not aware they were filming a horror movie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder how that worked lol, it was a really scary movie, probably best if they tricked him.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I totally agree. It's intense. Have you ever heard of an instrument called a waterphone?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I havent heard of that instrument, I wonder how its used or its applications!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's actually used to make the creepy metallic noises you hear in horror movies. I always wondered what made that sound.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh I see, I wonder how it sounds like thoug, do you like fantasy?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like some fantasy. I like Terry Pratchett who was knighted for his works and he certainly deserved that honor.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He was knighted because of his apportations to literature right? Im more of a Superhero fan, I guess that counts as fantasy as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is correct. I can see that counting. I think fantasy drafting has become out of control. People have fantasy drafts for the national spelling bee now!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats crazy lol I heard about congress fantasy but spelling bee fantasy?!! thats just weird<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It has definitely gone way too far.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Isn't it amazing that British politicians were forced by law to wear a top hat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder what the story is on that. I'm going to look up bowler hat<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The bowler hats were extremely popular in the old west.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I looked at a picture of bowler hat. I think I like cowboy hat better. Or those Mexican hats. Those are cool<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They do look very similar to the cowboy hats, no wonder they were so popular.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They are cute but maybe that's why I don't like them. I don't see kippa mentioned<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like to wear hate. I tip my hat to greet people when I'm wearing one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't like to wear a hat unless it's to keep the sun out of my face<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Are you afraid of snakes?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I think they are kind of cool. We have a snake man around here who visits jails and hospitals with his snakes. The kids love it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's surprising. Like most people and other primates, I'm so afraid of snakes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
oh ya I saw this cat video where people had a cucumber and the cat thinks it's a snake and freaks out<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess chats are scared of snakes too then. There are places in the world where there are no snakes at all.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I meant to write Reptile man, not snake man. He has a webpage<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think snakes are reptile. Snakes are different from lizards though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm going to look up "legless lizard"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've seen those before, they look like snakes, but they're not snakes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
wow, interesting! My daughter works for a veterinarian that sees pretty much any kind of animal<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There are so many types of snakes, I'm sure she has seen all of them including flying snakes!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I should ask her. People have all kinds of pets like turtles and spiders<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I just have a dog as my pet.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey hows it going, do you like fantasy or horror films the most?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
horror is the best. I love Edgar Allan Poe<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The Raven is such a great book. I like both, I get scared easily at horror movies though but do with fantasy, they are both great though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know that scream was going to be titled "scary movie".<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yah, what are those called, dark comedies right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes. The actors in the exorcist never knew that they were making a horror film. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's crazy, I think a lot of people are like that in real life too, I wish more people would realize that it could be us like that. Isn't it nuts that a single fold in the brain makes the difference between perceiving reality and fantasy?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats deep. People could learn more about this at an actual university<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They could, too bad not everyone has access to a university though, would help everyone out a lot if it was more profitable, the inequality gap in the US is getting ridiculous!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you ever see Thor that came out in 2011 ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did, I remember watching it in the movie theater, it's the fourth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Loki seems like a bad guy you can root for, or am I mistaken?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have never seen it. I do like Chris Hemsworth<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yah he is a good actor, I like Natallie Portman and Tom HIddleston too, both great actors and actresses!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree but Idris Elba and Anthony Hopkins are the best<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Idris Elba is a great actor, did you see The Wire at all?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
one of the best shows ever. So Jim henson created 'the dark crystal' ? I did not know that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not know that, Jim Henson created Seasame Street right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes i grew up on that. I would love to see that 15,145-page fantasy manuscript<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Or what about a fantasy draft for the national spelling bee? That's nuts people do that too. I wonder what Seasame Street would be like as a horror or fantasy show?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
lol good question. the lord of the rings won an academy award for "best picture" Good movie !<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure it was a good movie, I really can't get into that type of fantasy movies, same with Game of Thrones, I know they are great pieces of art and so good, I just don't really like watching them, there is a lot of good take aways from the movies though about how the world should be. Terry Pratchett was knighted for his services to literature, and he's a comedic fantasy author.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very good point. I love all Fantasy movies in both literature and drama. enjoy your fantasy movies !<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey! Did you know that until 1998, British politicians had to wear a top hat when making a point of order in the house of commons?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know that, but it could be because hats are worn for various reasons which include ceremonial ones, like the house of commons!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Exactly. The most popular hat in the Old West was actually the bowler, not the Cowboy hat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
So you are saying that all of the westerns have got it wrong? Haha, all of the cowboys should have been wearing bowler hats, doesn't make them seem quite as tough.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess so! I was surprised when I learned that. Imagine the Marlboro cowboy in a bowler! That wouldn't work though, because a cowboy really does need a cowboy hat to protect against the sun and rain.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree, it is just not the same. You know how cowboys would tip their hats in greeting? That originated from knights raising their face visors to show they were friendly.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's very interesting and makes sense. How do you feel about snakes? I'm not a big fan. I'd go to New Zealand, where there are none.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would be joining you in New Zealand. Snakes make my skin crawl, always have. It is a long held fear of mine. New Zealand is lucky!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that's how I feel too! There is a genus of flying snakes that can launch themselves. If I saw that in person I would die.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would as well, it is bad enough to see them slither around, but flying...no! I was reading that the fear of snakes is hard-wired not just in human brains, but in monkey brains as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well humans and monkeys are distantly related lol. There are legless lizards also. I don't mind legged lizards, but I don't think I would look at a legless lizard as anything less than a snake.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
If it doesn't have legs, I am checking out. A legless lizard is a snake! You know, I was reading that crocodiles are closer related to birds then snakes and lizards. I would have never guessed that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha checking out. Agreed. I wouldn't have guessed that about crocodiles either. I always call alligators/crocodiles dinosaurs, and I heard that chickens are likely descendants of dinosaurs.. so maybe I am onto something?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
If you have seen Jurassic park and believe it (I kinda do) then you would agree. Hey, do you like dancing? Did you know that it can be categorized and described by its choreography. I am horrible, but its fun.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love Jurassic Park and I do love dancing. I'm not the best dancer either but I have a good time. Apparently Bruce Lee was a great dancer and won the Hong Kong cha-cha championship in 1958.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I bet that is why he was so good at martial arts. Dancing probably helped keep him limber and light on his feet. I feel like those would be important skills to have.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Good point! Babies spontaneously dance when they hear music and smile more when they hit the beat! I can attest to that, I have one at home and he loves music.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is adorable, baby dancing is the best, it is so pure for the joy of it! You know who else was a dancer? Tupac, he danced ballet. That is unexpected.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Whoa I didn't know that and I'm a Tupac fan. Very unexpected! Professional ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes in a week. I know he wasn't wearing those though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, can you imagine him performing California Love wearing point shoes and doing ballet? It would be funny, but probably ruin the effect of the song.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hahahaha very true. Well I thoroughly enjoyed this chat! Have a wonderful day/night!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Same to you, take care!!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You as well.<end_of_turn>

Hi do you like DIsney?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I do. Do you know what the real name of Minnie is?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes her name is Minerva but I like Minnie better<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah me too. Have you heard about the culture of hidden mickey mouse?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah they hide stuff on everything disney for people to find<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah pretty cool. Do you know who Bill Nye is?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah the is the science guy and he worked with disney for the Flubber movies<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah he is in a lot of things now. Do you like the Pixar studio movies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love them especially wall-e, have you seen it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have and loved it. Do you know who it is a tip of the hat to?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes to Walter Elias Disney, which is very fitting as he started the whole thing<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it is fitting indeed. DO you use google a lot?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I do, is the got to search engine for me. Do you know when it was founded?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes in 1998 so it has been around for a while now and I am glad for it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too. DO you know how they calculate traffic?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes they actually take the average of how fast android devices are moving<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes. They once hired goats to mow their lawn instead of people<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is pretty neat, everyone benefited there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Exactly. A single google search uses more computing power than it took to sen 12 astronauts to the moon<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is insane indeed. It once went down for 5 minutes and took 40% of traffic with it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No wonder they are this big, so many people are using them<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello there hope you're doing well. Do you like the fantasy genre? I like it because it's roots are in oral traditions.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like fantasy drafts. Lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah fantasy drafts are fun- and even fantasy drafts are done for the national spelling bee!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I haven't ever done that. There is also a draft for congress.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Type of people participate in these things? I think it would be boring. A single fold in the brain makes a difference between perceiving reality and fantasy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have you ever heard of terry pratchett<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I think so I can't believe he was knighted for services to literature. He must have made some great contributions.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He really has. What an honor as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah he must've been so proud. There was once a janitor from Chicago who wrote over six years of fantasy manuscript. He must've really been into it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is a long time to write something. He must have been really devoted.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Agreed. I bet he would've love to work for Disney. Bill Nye actually work for Disney as a consultant for Disney's flubber.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
really. Thats cool. I always liked bill nye<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah he seems like a good guy. The Disney character Minnie mouse's name is short for Minerva mouse.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard that actually.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I think it's interesting I never knew it. There's a whole subculture dedicated to finding hidden Mickey mouse images in all things Disney. I didn't know they hid things.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You would think they would have better stuff to do.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah some people have too much time on their hands. Disney's big hero six was rendered using a 55,000 core super computer. Wow.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have you ever seen Wall-E<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nope I have never seen that movie, is it good? It looks like Pixar honored Walter Elias Disney in the name.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeap they sure did.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love having Google because I can look up anything I don't know. A single search requires a ton of computing power.<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Have you ever read a wrinkle in time?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have not. What is it about?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is a fantasy where the main hero is a little girl. Apparently publishers were not a fan when it was first being sent out for publication.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting. There is a university where you can study science fiction and fantasy literature with a concentration in Tolkien studies.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be an amazing class! I think there is so much to be learned from those great books.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think so too. Jim Henson created The Dark Crystal with the idea that it was unhealthy for children never to be afraid.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hmm I could see that being true. If children have no fear then they are liable to get into anything. Healthy fear isn't a bad thing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree. Do you like Walt Disney?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like some of their stuff. A few things are a bit underhandedly political for my taste but most is good. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep, I like Walt Disney. The Disney channel doesn't accept outside ads. Did you know that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that. Makes sense though because then they can direct traffic toward their products and shows.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep I agree. Walt Disney and Salvador Dali once collaborated on a short film.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is awesome. i think my favorie disney film would have to be either big hero 6 or the incredibles.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea those are both good ones. Disney makes $1,110 per second.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that is just a insane amount of money. Hopefully they are doing some good work with all that cash.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I bet they are. Walt Disney was fired from his job at a local newspaper for not being creative enough.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That seems very strange but I guess the times where different on what people considered entertainment.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you use Google?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do use it quite a bit. Gmail is great. Do you like it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love Google. I pretty much use it daily.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think they are probably the most used site ever. Look at what happened back in 2013 when it went down for 5 minutes. Internet use dropped 40%!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was good talking to you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
A Wrinkle in Time was a great film with an interesting cast, what are your thoughts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, good morning. I actually have never seen that movie, have you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have, its actually pretty good, you should watch it, Oprah Winfrey is a part of the cast<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, anything with Ms. O in it is probably pretty good. I'll give it a look when I get a chance.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You should, I think it was also a book, well best movies come out of great books<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, they do. Do you watch Disney Channel?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do like the Disney Channel yeah, why do you ask?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you know they don't accept outside ads. The only commercials it airs are for its own shows and Disney products?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It seems like they are loosing a lot of money there, did you watch the movie Big Hero 6?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't think so. Yes, I loved Big Hero 6, so did my kids. Speaking of Disney, did you know Walt Disney was fired from his job at a local newspaper for not being creative enough?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well the movie Big Hero 6 was made with a 55000 core super computer, amazing right? and he was fired wow, that is funny and ironic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Amazing, what a computer that was. Did you know that Walt Disney and Salvadore Dali collaborated on a short film?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt, no, I might have to Google that later, do you know Bill Nye the science guy?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I've watched him many times on tv.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
And what about the movie Flubber, do you remember that movie?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I do. Old version and the newer one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt know there was a new version, anyway, he is the science consultant in the old version of the movie<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's cool! Here's a fun fact for you, type the word, askew into Google and watch the page tilt.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I just did it and nothing happened maybe they fixed that issue already.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe so! Do you know new Google employees are called "nooglers"?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That seems kind of messed up, I think the beanies are funny, the ones the make the nooglers wear.<end_of_turn>

Hello, did you know that more than 80% of the earths forests have been destroyed?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is sad. I hope we can reverse that statistic.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is really sad. I recently read that earth will be helium free by the end of the 21st century.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I also think it is interesting that when earth was formed, a day was only 5.5 hours long. I wonder why that changed?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know, maybe it slowed its rotation eventually? That's pretty weird.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you believe in aliens? The UN appointed ambassadors to extraterrestrials.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, definitely. Thats cool lol at least they are prepared! Do you believe in aliens?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not sure. I feel like there is more life out there. I wonder if they will make contact with earth?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Im assuming so, otherwise what would the ambassador have to study? lol how else can he be prepared if theres no evidence?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not sure. Do you have any pets?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yup, I have a dog. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have a cat. Did you know that there are cat cafes in japan and taiwan where people can pay hourly to play with cats and have drinks!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol yeah, theres all sorts of cafes like that, Ive been to a meerkat cafe, a bird cafe and a raccoon cafe before.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is really interesting. I would like that. I wish i slept as much as cats. When a cat reaches 15 years old it has usually spent 10 years of its life sleeping.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats a lot of sleeping! Theres is a cat named stubbs in alaska that is a mayor lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love that. It has been the mayor since 1997.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol I wonder how they decided that or what his duties are lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if he is a stray. The cat in the godfather 1 opening scene was a stray that was found on set.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, I hope that cat got paid, thats a very popular movie!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I hope he was adopted after.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol yeah. Its been fun chatting!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
As libraries close, I wonder if it is still true there are more libraries than mcdonalds.What do you think?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think its possible, They are very useful for everyone. The sacramento library even has a library of things<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
A prisoner used the library resources to become a lawyer.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know! it was a really good use of resources. He proved his innocence and now helps others do the same<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's amazing. There are all kinds of old stats and info to discover, too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah you can get unrestricted access to information in many different formats<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Appling was busted on an old baseball story because researchers contradicted his claim.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard he was really good at fouling pitches. Including 14 straight.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It would be great to see a new interview with him but he passed away in 1991.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I would like to hear his opinion on Belt's 21 pitch at bat<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if he would change when presented with the Yankees stats.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He had a good time playing against Red Ruffing. He liked messing with him<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It sounds like Appling used that strategy a lot.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Unfortunately we dont have enough stat going back far enough since at bats and pitch by pitch only started getting record in 1988<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He bragged about fouling out players,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you think Brandon Belt could do the same<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He used the same strategy to run out 12 minutes 45 seconds of gametime.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats a long time in baseball. 16 fouls<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is the longest at-bat since they kept stats on that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know baseball managers wear uniforms because they can technically play for their team?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
So they're ready to go on the field and sub in?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I believe so! That would be something to see!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hey did you know that when I cat gets to be 15 years old, it has on average slept for about 10 years, so 2/3 of its lifespan<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That doesn't surprise me actually. i saw something funny the other day that in Japan that have what is called Cat Cafe's where people pay hourly to play with cats<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ha that is crazy, I just got back from a pet store and held a dog actually, I'm not much of a cat person, are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I'm not but was reading an article where the town of Talkeetna, AL has had a cat named Stubbs as it's mayor since 1997<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is funny, I like the movie the Godfather a lot, apparently the cat used in the beginning scenes was found on the set and was actually a stray<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
What about birds. do you like them? I think hummingbirds are amazing. They steal spiderwebs to construct and repair their nest<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha that is funny, I do like birds, I think it would be scary to be in Austrailia and birds there can mimic different sounds, like you're walking along and think someone is chasing you with a chainsaw, but it's just a bird making that sound haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
wow that would be scary! I saw that the famously discint do do bird is actually a sub-family of pigeon<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is wild, I know people hunted the dodo because they were eating them, so I guess if we want to know what they tasted like we could try pigeon haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
this is interesting. In most birds the bones are so hollow that their entire skeleton weighs less than their feathers<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is wild, I think it's crazy that there are birds that fly the distance of Alaska to Mexico without sleeping, thats a lot of endurance!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I saw that human activity threatens about 1200 bird species with extinction<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya that is sad, we are using up earth's resources, and I know that by the end of the 21st century we will have run out of helium which is very important for manufacturing<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that is crazy. more than 80 percent of the earths natural forest have already been destroyed<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya that is sad, what's really crazy is how quickly this is happening, so far humans would only represent about a minute if you consider the entire history of earth to be 24 hours long<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ok so this is totally of subject but the united nations appointedd official ambassadors to extraterrestrials<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha I wonder how they appointed that guy, like he essentially knows that he will never have to work, like what does that guy do all day? I want his job haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Exactly that is so funny! Did you that over 7.6 billion humans live on Earth and depend on its biosphere and natural resources for their survival<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't that's a ton of people, I wonder if an alien would be overwhelmed at the number of people on earth, like they would have to wonder how big of a planet this is and how it supports so much life<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good question. I read that the earth is the densest planet in the solar system and largest of the four terrestrial planets<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I could see that, what I really want is for scientists to find alien life in my lifetime though, we need to go back to the moon! haha<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi, do you know much about planet earth?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know that 80 percent of our forests have already been destroyed<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah and that is so sad. did you know the day used to be 5.5 hours only ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is really sad considering that humans have only been here a minute if earth's history was viewed as a 24 hour period. I did not know that about the day being so short<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah when you think about it it makes it ever sadder to what we are doing to this planet<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, the UN has appointed an official ambassador to extraterrestrials so hopefully we make some alien friends soon so we can move planets.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha, that would be kind of cool. apparently earth will be helium free by the end of this century<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No more helium balloons? Aww...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know, but maybe it is for the better. do you like animals<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't really like them as pets but in nature yes. It's sad that the dodo bird is extinct. I hope we stop destroying the earth and habitats for animals. The dodo bird was actually a sub family of pigeon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah and I think it was a nice looking bird. I hope so too. their bones are lighter than their feathers<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, this is due to their bones being hollow.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah, I guess that makes sense for them since they need to fly<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right. I think wild birds in Australia are neat but would probably drive me insane. They can mimic camera, car alarms, and chainsaw sounds.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
hahaha I can imagine that, going out everytime to check if the car is alright<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Another neat thing to observe would be a hummingbird stealing a spiderweb's nest!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
they are so tiny and yet so smart<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Sorry, I meant stealing webs to repair their nests. Yeah, bird brains are tiny but they seem so intelligent!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is true. How do you feel about cats?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do not really like them but there is a stray cat that is super sweet and cuddles with me even though I tell her no. It is pretty cute. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like cats too. there are cafes of them in japan<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice! I would love to be a cat. They spend a lot of time sleeping.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello! How are you this morning?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
im doing well! sipping on my morning coffee. how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Same here! Enjoy that! Also enjoy helium because it's running out lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
it is??? no way! what are we going to fill out balloons with?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm more worried about making funny voices lol. We are running out of so many things on this earth. Did you know 80 percent of forests have been destroyed?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
thats a sad thing to hear. but we still have a bunch, so imagine how many we used to have!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I couldn't imagine! I wonder if that's why some birds fly from Alaska to Mexico without sleeping?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
they have to get to the warm, and fast! they must get tired making the long journey tho<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure they sleep for days haha. Birds are pretty smart. There are wilds birds in Australia that can mimic the sound of cameras, car alarms, and chainsaws.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's so funny. I wonder what their accents are like. Because birds have accents!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm picturing british and american birds talking to each other lol. I would like to see that, but also hang out with cats in Taiwan.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
id love to hear a bird with a cockneyed British accent. do you like cats?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I actually don't really like cats lol, but you can hang out with them at a cafe in Taiwan. I think that would be interesting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that would be interesting, but i would avoid it, im allergic!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wise person you are! Have you seen the godfather? I guess the cat in the opening scene was a stray they found on set!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i actually havent but id love to. i wonder if they paid that cat SAG day rates<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha or in cat treats? I envy the life of a cat, it spends most of its life sleeping lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that would be fun, so much better than working all day long<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree! Would you ever want a cat as your town mayor?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha it would about as useful as my current mayor....what town elected a cat???<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was Talkeetna, Alaska! I'm going to look more into that now! Have a great day. Awesome chat!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello there, do you follow baseball or MLB much?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, although I haven't followed it much the past couple of years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am the opposite, I have been following more closely these last few, especially this last season as my team almost made the world series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, which team is that? Is it the Cubs? They were the first team to win back to back World Series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, I am a fan of the Brewers, I have never seen them play in a series, one game away.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
What was the longest at bat you've ever seen? There is some question as to what the longest at bat ever was.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know probably only 20 pitches or so, but I figure the longest is pretty darn long. Did you know managers can technically play if needed?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that, but it makes sense. Also, apparently the longest at bat ever was 21 pitches.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is all, that doesn't seem like very many considering a full count is minimal 5 pitches.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, apparently there is some dispute. The 'story' doesn't match any game on record, but the story has been told for over 70 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah and I guess the records began being kept in 1988, so who knows what it was before that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I guess 1998 is considered the modern era. Before that teams didn't watch stats too closely.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is crazy, that doesn't see that long ago. I'm sure there are all kinds of crazy records before then.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Cy Young apparently won 435 games, now 200 is considered incredible.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Holy cow that is a crazy amount of baseball games to win, not just start, but win.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I can see why they named the yearly pitching trophy after him.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I agree with you on that. Did you know that kickball is also called soccer-baseball up in Canada?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that. Did you by chance read about that in the library which is a collection of information sources?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah isn't that pretty funny? I read that in some random facts I saw online.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ha, I like random facts. Did you know North Korea holds the record for the largest mass gymnastic performance?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, I didn't know that, what a weird record to go after. Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you enjoy the rest of the day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like game of thrones?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, its one of my favorite shows, Dacid Benioff is a genious, so much imagination, do you like the show?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do. He did a good job adapting Martin's fantasy novels into a tv series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
George R. R. Martin is one of my favorite writters as well, I didnt know the show was filmed in Ireland, the country has beutiful landscapes<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They did a good job worldbuilding and making a somewhat medieval setting<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah and also picking up the cast, like Harry Lloyd, he is a decendant of Dickens<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ya an talisa maegyr is played by charlie chaplin's granddaughter<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A lot of talent in the show, there is a natgeo show called Game of Lions, seems like a fun show to watch lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well another good decision aside from the scene the director made is to film it in ireland. They actually get financed by ireland since the film would encourage tourism<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if that strategy works for the country, I guess it does since many people around the world watch the show<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure it does. Which arcs did you enjoy the most of got<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I liked the second story arc, that one was amazing what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like the 3rd arc since it makes everything else pale and insignificant in comparison. Oh but I liked it when jeffry died<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah Jeffry had it coming, it was a fair death, he was a cruel boy and the actor was pretty good<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Are you excited for the 8th season?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am, too bad its going to be the final one but I guess the show will leave on a high note<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Honestly, I have no clue how they are going to fit all the action and story into 1 season when it took 7 to get here. I just hope it doesn't feel rushed or left a a cliff hanger. In any case, since the 3rd arc focuses on the legendary dangers of the north threatening the known realm, there will be a battle to remember<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats a sure thing, it will be a battle to remember and it feels rushed, theres a lot more the show can give us, I like how Arya acts as well, she has become a badass<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess it is due to her success that the name Arya is rapidly becoming the popular girl baby name<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Its funny how a show can have an influence even on things like that one<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Indeed. In any case, thank you for the enjoyable chat about got and I hope you enjoy the 8th season<end_of_turn>

Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, I'm doing good how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm good, thanks for asking. Do you watch Game of Thrones?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've never actually seen GOT. The only thing I know about it, is that it's a drama show.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've watched it a few times, it's a pretty good show.I've never seen the National Geographic show called Game of lions, though. Have you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I can't say that I have. I haven't even heard of that either. What did you like about Game of Thrones?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like fantasy type shows and this one has a large cast with several plot lines going on at the same time. It holds your interest and is never boring. Scenery is beautiful, it gets filmed in Ireland, Canada Iceland, Malta Scotland, Spain, and the U.S.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think the only guy I really know from the show is Peter Dinklage because he won an Emmy for being on the show.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well. Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter plays Talis on the show, also.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is interesting! The show comes on HBO right? I'll have to check it out sometime.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, it does. Just binge watch it, all seven seasons. The eighth season doesn't premiere until April, so you have some time to get up to speed, it's worth watching!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Eight seasons? That means it came out in 2011. That is a long time for a show to be on and still being successful.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, that long. It has a big following, so much so that Arya the name of one of the characters is the fastest rising baby name for girls in the U.S.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is a little disturbing. Not sure I would name my kid from a TV show. I think the actor that played Arya was actually her first role in anything.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know right. I wouldn't either, but some people are very big fans. Lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not that big of a fan of anything. Lots of celebrities are overrated. In 2007 Paris Hilton was voted the most overrated celebrity.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me either and I remember when Paris Hilton was everywhere. I wish the Kardashians would go the same way. They are way overrated, as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, the Kardashians are the very definition of celebrity. They garner so much public attention by mass media and I have no clue what they are actually known for.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't think nobody does. Lol Do you know that Robin Williams started the trens of celebrities doing the voices in animated movies? He was the best doing the Genie's voice in Aladdin.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know he was responsible foe that at all. That is very interesting, but I did know he was the voice of Genie. The guy was a national treasure.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, he was, gone much too soon. Well, it's been nice talking with you this morning. I hope you have a good day.<end_of_turn>

Hi There ! Looking forward to chat with You ! ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, how are you doing?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
pretty good thx :) Did You hear the universe may be one giant superhologram ? I can't seem to wrap my head around it... can You ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i did not, that would be pretty wild, they should make a commercial about that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They should make a National Geographic special ! lol, even then I don't know if I would understand that...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
they should! i like the theory that there is one electron in the universe!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ugh... another one... I'm Polish man... cut me some slack here :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am sorry?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am too... :) I'm saying it's another subject I don't understand ;) one electron ? What does that mean ? I thought there are billions of them...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i thought so as well, maybe the theory is we are all super small?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hey ;) there is nothing small about me man ;) lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I got you haha. what do you think abuot celebrities? judge judy makes 123,000 per episode apparently!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's really a lot... I mean I like her, but I remember when I was much younger, I thought she is not a real judge... that it's just a show :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
She makes the second most of any celebrity other than lebron James actually!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh, You're a fan ? ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think he is a great player, but I love Dirk Nowitzki a lot more<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't think I know him... what team is he playing in ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
he is on the mavericks! i read that pixar has a secret room for celebrities, that is pretty cool!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They do work with a lot of celebrities so I guess that makes sense. I always liked Pixar - beautiful graphics and great sense of humor ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
they really do make some great and wholesome movies, i liked alladdin with robin williams!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That was done by Pixar ? I don't think so, but I might be mistaking...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
it may have just been disney, they work so closely it gets confusing<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you watch Game of Thrones?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, I have never seen it. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Are you kidding? its like the best show ever you should really watch it it has about 8 seasons<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha I've been wanting to watch it. I saw Harry Lloyd is the great-great grandson of Charles Dickens.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You should watch it, and yeah the show has a great casting, its based on the novels by George R.R Martin, his a great writer.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very cool. I saw Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter plays Talisa.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah she is one of the main characters of the show, I feel sad because the eight season is the final one so in April the beggining of the end will happen.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh wow that is sad. I saw there is a Nat Geo show called Game of Lions that follows a pack of lions around.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That show must be really good, I wonder if they named the show after Game of Thrones.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think so. Do you know much about the universe?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love reading about the universe its one of my passions, what about yourself?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I feel the same way. There are scientists who think the universes evolve through natural selection like species here on Earth.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is an interesting theory, they might be on to something, there is also a theory that states that the universe is one giant super hologram.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting...a giant hologram! I saw there are stars cold enough to be touched by human hands.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is also a cool fact, then there's also the theory that there's only one electron in the universe.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is a very interesting theory. Do you follow celebrities?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do follow them, many of them make lots of money I kind of envy that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me too. Pixar has a secret room often visited by celebrities.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It does? I wonder who has been there before, maybe Robin Williams before he past away.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Possibly. He was the voice of the Genie in the Aladdin movie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah he was the voice of Aladdin in animated films and left a big legacy behind as he started this trend of celebrity voices of animated films, anyway its been great chatting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Such a shame he passed away. Good chatting with you too. Take care!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
did you know that Tom Cruise spent ten million dollars to make a bunker that protects him from aliens lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not, I wonder if it was from the star that flickers some people think it is aliens!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that would be scary! according to the xfiles, aliens would colonize earth in 2012, at least that never came to pass!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thankfully, They named it Tabby's star!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ah interesting, I guess the alien figures from the Aliens movies were based on sea creatures from deep in Earth's ocean<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, That star has its own subreddit.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is weird, did you know that it might be aliens, Astronomers have discovered a system that is 455 light years away with the building blocks of life?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I believe it the universe is huge, earth is also 4.5 billion years old.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is crazy, I didn't know that uranus rolls around sideways in its orbit instead of just spinning like Earth does<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting, What is kind of sad is that 80 percent of earths forests have been destroyed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes that is sad, also crazy that when the earth was made a day was only about 6 hours long, thats a super fast day!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, also interesting is the core is molten lava but the caps are ice!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya that is interesting, it's scary to me that we wilsl run out of helium by the end of this century, I know that it's very important for manufacturing electronics<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That cant be good, hopefully they invent a way to create it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes I agree, crazy that we will run out of helium but humans have only been on this planet for about a minute if you count the planet's history as a 24 hour day<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is not very long at all! There is a planet where it rains glass!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ha that would be wild to see! I wondder if that planet has aliens? I guess firefighters are trained on how to treat aliens in case they ever visit, which seems like a waste of time haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess better safe than sorry, Jupiter's moon would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is crazy, also with venus, I don't know if you know, but it has no seasons and is the only planet to spin clock wise, the rest spin counter clockwise<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know that, The name of Jupiter's moon is Ganymede, kind of odd huh?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is very odd, I don't know who dreamed that up but I would have come up with a better name myself!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Earth is the third planet from the sun and it is the only planet to have water in liquid form.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah and Earth's surface is covered by about 71% water, mostly oceans.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Only 3% water is fresh water which is used for drinking. Earth has one natural satellite is Moon. The earth receives its light and heat from the sun.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah and scientists say that earth will be virtually helium free by the end of the 21st century1 Crazy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The earth spins on its own axis it causes for the day and night changes. If day in one part of the earth may be other part of earth have night.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Earth's axis is tilted with respect to it's orbital plane, producing seasons. Thank goodness for seasons. My favorite is Spring!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The layer of the lithosphere is the upper most layer. Almost 71% of earth surface is covered with water remaining 29% is of water. The polar region are covered with snow or ice.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hm. The planet Uranus actually rotates sideways and "rolls" around the sun rather than "spinning" like other planets!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Very interesting. Already 80% of forest area in the world has been destroyed which results in global warming and climate changes and affects the green houses of the environment. Lot of pollution also.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, sadly mostly human activities are to blame for that, including massive deforestation for many reasons.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Planet is a term that has been used since ancient times in the context of history, astrology, science, mythology and religion. There are five planets visible to naked eyes in the solar system.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep, I've seen all of the naked eye planets. Have you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, Venus rises before the sun, so early that it is called the morning star.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ah yes! Have you ever seen Jupiter or Saturn with just your eyes?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is small planet we can see them with the help of telescope.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Jupiter's moon Ganymede would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun. It's so big!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Jupiter is the only planet which largest amount of artfical satellite.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think Earth is the planet with the largest amount of artificial satellites. Jupiter likely has the largest natural satellites, which we call moons.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Earth has only one natural satellite is moon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes that's true. Sometimes the moon is called Luna. The moon is responsible for making the earth's tides, via the tidal bulge of the planet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is very interesting news.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was nice talking to you! Goodbye! :)<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you truly believe aliens exist?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I do. I don't think we are all alone in this universe. What do you think?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
To be honest it has to be possible think about all the species of animals especially the ones we don't even know about in the ocean. Dolphins are already smarter then us so how could aliens not exist<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I so believe we'll eventually find some. But, I feel kind of like Stephen Hawking, it's dangerous to be communicating with them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
But what if people like stephan hawking understood things we dont' he is on another level of intelligence kind of like elon musk they are the human versions of aliens with their brains<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree with you about that. If we found some aliens, I'd say let's watch them for a good long time before any attempts at communication and they probably feel the same way about communicating with us.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Exactly if aliens wanted to harm us they could have easily already have done it, they don't want to interfere with us we shouldn't interfere with them<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree, there's something to it, though when the UN has a contigency plan in place should aliens ever attempt to contact the Earth. So, somebody knows something, they just can't alert the masses and create panic around the world.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
So true and don't you find it wierd how drones were first military technology and then a couple of years later it becomes available to the public. Where did the military steal their ideas from drone technology from?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The same place they stole a whole bunch of their other "ideas". It's just a matter of time, but hopefully Trump will have his Space force up and running by then. Lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
We're getting into alex jones and joe rogan territory here lol you should watch that on youtube so you can have a good laugh<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'll have to check it out, for sure. On a side note, I hear that the Hudson Bay region of Canada has less gravity than the rest of Earth. Wonder why?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Might have something to do with magnetic fields we need to get neil degrasse tyson on the case he'll figure it out<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Lol, I'm just wondering, will I be lighter on my feet there? And will the weight of the world not feel like its on my shoulders? Asking for a friend.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
LOL these are the real questions the people want to know<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Exactly! I read that Jupiter saves the Earth from getting hit by so many asteroids. That's very nice of it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Poor jupiter its basically a giant shield for our great ball of water<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True and poor old Pluto lost its designation as a planet! Wow!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Pluto will always be a planet in my heart lol they can't just suddenly change something like that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's how I feel too, about little ole Pluto. I feel like the bullies are picking on him and I need to stand up and defend the little guy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Listen Pluto will always be a planet there's probably support groups for this kind of thing lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I hear ya! Well, it's been fun chatting with you, friend. I bid you good night.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have an awesome night go watch alex jones and joe rogan real quick on youtube and have a laugh<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ok, will do!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Great, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am well. Do you believe in aliens?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The one's from space? Not likely to have happened, though there is life on other planets. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not really. I am not even remotely interested in space so I usually ignore that stuff. X-files on the other hand...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The aliens missed their colonization date. Why so close to Christmas? I guess the winter solstice is a good date.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What a bunch of downers. At least we have will smith to protect us!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know that over 80 percent of the Earth's forests have already been destroyed? Maybe the aliens will be appalled at the destruction and leave.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Or our level of stupidity and move on so we don't ruin their planet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
In September 2010, the UN appointed an ambassador to extraterrestrials in case they make contact with us. I wonder how you quality for THAT job. Seems like there would be little to do.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. I am not sure that's a full-time job. "Any aliens today?" "No." "See you tomorrow!"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There seems to be more pressing problems. Earth will be helium-free by the end of the 21st century. Where will we get helium for our balloons? Maybe the aliens will bring some for us.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Can helium be created in a lab? On a personal note, I have two helium balloons stuck in my vaulted ceiling. That helium lasts for at least 3 weeks. It is getting tiresome.]<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
In 2007 Tom Cruise spent millions on an underground bunker to protect himself from aliens. Maybe he knows some of the firefighters trained in treating aliens, in the event of a UFO crash. Or maybe he has a secret helium source.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
As long as he is not jumping on the couches in his bunker, I am fine with it. He seems a little weird...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Speaking of weird, the world's longest name is a story about a shepherd protecting his sheep and humanity from aliens. Who has this name, and why? Are the parents X-files fans?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Aliens were based of creatures found in the ocean? I feel like there is a lot in the ocean we do not know about.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
We haven't been around very long. If Earth's history were viewed as a 24 hour period, we would only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You're right, that's not long at all!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
When Earth was first formed a day was only 5.5 hours long. By the time the aliens show up, the day will be 40 hours long and the work day will be 20 hours. The alien overlords won't pay us overtime either. Well, I enjoyed chatting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you doing this evening?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm doing well, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm great! Are you knowledgeable of the sport known as baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I used to play when I was younger. Did you know a 17 year old female pitcher was banned from professional baseball after she struck out babe ruth?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That sounds unfair! She should have been hired on the spot! fans would pay to see that!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hilarious, did you know the opposing team receives three bases if a player catches a baseball in their hat?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
How often does that happen? Has an umpire ever really done that? I have questions.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not sure, it doesn't seem like a real rule does it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It sounds bogus. Three bases? I've never heard of that. Somebody check the rule book! Giamatti would not accept that rule.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, some of the stuff you read isn't always true. Did you know that the Chicago Cubs were the first baseball team to win Back To Back World Series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The Cubbies, a sad story. How could they put on such a losing streak? They signed a deal with the devil to win back to back, and then never win again.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well they won recently didn't they? I think in 2014 or maybe it was 16, it slips my memory.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did they? Did they break the curse? I didn't know that. I figured they had made their deal, but now I guess they made a new deal with the devil. Why do managers wear uniforms now?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I believe they did. BTW, do you watch the show Game of Thrones?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've heard of it. HBO, right? Some guy wrote some books, but takes forever to get new stuff done, yeah?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is on HBO, anyways, one of the actors who is real big and looks old in the show is actually only 25 years old.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hm.That sounds odd. I know that they shoot all around the world, which is a really cool thing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know the Dodgers have lost more World Series than any other team.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a saddening statisic. How much the fans must deplore that record.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, it is pretty bad. Have you ever seen them play?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have never seen the Dodgers but I expect that LA must have money because of the many fans.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've been to the Stadium before. It is not that great. Nice chatting with you.<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Well...howdy! What about baseball and the World Series?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm a fan. Are you a fan of baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well, I'm not an Astros fan, I'm a Cleveland Indians fan. How about you? What baseball city you like?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm a Nationals fan. It seems like the Astros made a splashy move by not having to commit tens of millions of dollars in annual salary well into the next decade.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hear ya....do you think Gerrit Cole is worth all the effort to get him?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not sure, probably not, but let's see. Did you know that the managers wear uniforms because they technically are allowed to play?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I never new the managers could also play. Can't remember that happening in ages. I always sort of liked Justin Verlander when he was with the Tigers. The Indians always kicked his butt.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah. The Nationals have Bryce Harper, he had a bad year last year, but he is still very highly paid.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Very true. I was rooting for the Nationals last year, but man they hit the wall late in the baseball season. What happened?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It happens all the time. Crazy, they just can't close the deal.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That sounds an awful like the Indians. I'm 61 years old and have never seen them in a World Series. I'm beginning to think I never will.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Crazy. Well, they were in the movie Major League.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
LOL....yep...and with Charlie Sheen playing for them in that. Sheesh. Hey maybe the Nationals and the Tribe will play in the world series this year....ya never know?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be cool. Did you know that up until 2005 a married couple scheduled all of the games for the year?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've never heard that before! I wondered what happened after 2005? Did that married couple get divorced for arguing baseball games...lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not sure, they probably moved to some sort of automated system.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well, that would explain why the Indians play so many silly early baseball games in wintery Cleveland in the early season. Computers must not know weather.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very true. Did you know somebody found $3 million dollars worth of 1900s baseball cards in his grandfathers attic?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I read that! Wonder what they did with the money? Oh....and I do watch Game Of Thrones sometimes, I'm up to Season 5.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I used to, I stopped at Series 4. I hear they get a subsidy from Ireland.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's news to me...I'm not a huge fan of Game of Thrones, can't understand them when they talk.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, it is ok. Well nice chatting with you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello, do you watch baseball><end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am a fan of baseball - I used to know the married couple who scheduled all 2430 baseball games every year<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, I guess those are the people that you can call mega fans. I am not the biggest baseball fan although I do go to a few games each year<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes baseball is so popular in Japan many people are surprised to find that it is our national game<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would be surprised too. Kickball is known as soccer-baseball in Canada. That is odd.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. I have had a few baseball cards in my day, but one lucky man found his grandfather had saved 3 million dollars worth of cards!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
3 million is probably more money that I will ever have. The only things that my grandparents collect are rocks from their childhood. I do no think that those rocks will ever be worth 3 million!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
laugh for sure! Maybe you should try to be a team manager - they wear uniforms because theoretically they could put themselves in the game and play!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really ? Although I do not think any of them have ever stepped in. I think that the actual players are much better than the coaches.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No doubt but it would be fun to see one to step in for an inning - perhaps in the world series championship game<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Speaking of the world series, the Ottoman Empire still existed since the last time that the Chicago cubs won the world series!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That was until a few years ago! That was a great year. The curse of the goat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What is the curse of the goat? Is it some kind of superstition?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Cubs did not let a man bring his goat into a baseball game around 1918 and he put a curse on them. It lasted almost a hundred years!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ah, thank you. Speaking of the cubs, they were the very first team to win the world series back to back and they have not won since!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes - even famous players can blow it sometimes too - Babe Ruth was caught stealing in game 7 and it caused his team to lose the 1926 world series<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really? I though Babe Ruth was a renowned baseball player. I wonder why he would steal.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes he was a big hitter but sometimes you need to steal a base! He was a big guy though so probably not that fast<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Probably. Do you watch Game of Thrones?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have never seen it but I have heard a lot about it. It has received 47 emmy awards so it must be pretty good<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
47? That is a lot. Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter played Talisa in Game of Thrones!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I had never heard that - I knew Peter Dinklage won several Emmys for the show.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hey what search engine do you use? Is it google?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello, how are you? Yes I use Google predominantly, unless I am looking for videos or music. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well Actually I use Bing because they pay you for every search, but it's crazy that Google Maps can tell how congested traffic is by how fast android phones are movie<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know right. Or the fact that one of Google's search requires more power than it did to send Neil Armstrong and 11 other astronauts to the moon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya that is crazy! I do like that they're a green company and one time used goats to mow their lawn haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, goats are very effective. Talking about google. Google uses andriod devices moments to calculate traffic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya they do, they also are a huge part of internet traffic, when they were down for about 5 mins they took out 40 percent of total web traffic1<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
interesting..google tailors its maps around disputed borders based on where the browser is located<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha that makes sense, do you use Spotify? I only use youtube myself<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I use them all, Pandora, You Tube and Spotify. The all have there different purposes. Spotify has so many songs that 20% of them have never been played.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya that is crazy, that's about 4 million songs, I guess a musician woul dneed their song played 130,000 times in order to earn minimum wage<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes per day, that is crazy. A band earned $20,000 from spotify for a silent album.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha that is genius, I guess the guy behind spotify is also the guy who created utorrent which is something I use<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I use spotify when I just want something playing in the background or to listen to a whole CD. But when I want to watch the videos I switch to YouTube. Did you know YouTube is the second largest search engine.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't but that makes sense, have you checkout out the police version of youtube, blutube?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have heard of it but now seen it. I just can't believe the amount of content, in 2017 there were 400 hours of content uploaded every minute, so crazy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is crazy, also I remember when Gangnam Style came out and Youtube had to upgrade itself to handle the traffic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I remember that too. Do you know what the most disliked video on YouTube?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think it's Baby by Justin bieber, I personally don't think its that bad what about you? LIke it is catchy haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is annoyingly catchy, people are just being haters. There are plenty of other awful things I am sure, just not as popular. Have tried their paid music streaming, have you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
no I have never paid for streaming music, I just use youtube, but I am on a google music trial right now, what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have not paid for anything either, just Netflix.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah netflix and youtube make up half of internet traffic os it is very likely lots of people use it!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Game of Thrones seems like one of the most popular TV shows...and it has been for a few years, too, right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah about 5 or 6 years now. You dont watch it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, but I really want to. I haven't even bought cable TV. I have watched Game of Thrones at friends' houses, though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh thats good, you should catch up the last season is coming out in april and thats it the show will be done.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I really need to catch up on it. I also have no idea what's going on this year with the World Series Baseball.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The actress that plays Arya actually has never been in anything before. what a break! First time acting and gets Game of Thrones!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Is Arya the one that has all the gorgeous fierce dragons on Game of Thrones?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No. Arya is the little girl, she looks like a boy, on purpose.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard that Ireland finances the Game of Throne series because it's filmed there and they get a good boost of tourism through that. Sounds good to me!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, My aunt and cousin went to visit it last summer, the pics were amazing!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know that Charlie Chaplin's Granddaughter plays Talisa Maegyr in the Game of Thrones? I wonder if she has many lines?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did know that but I dont recognize the name at all so I guess she is not a main character.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do they have other cool creatures in the Game of Thrones show besides dragons? I'd love to see unicorns and other things too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Giant wolves that are called Direwolvles, White walkers (like dead zombies but frozen one), Giants.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
WOW! Sounds so cool! They have Dire Wolves in this card game called Magic the Gathering. Definitely have giants in that game too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh ok, I have heard of that game. Its a card game?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes. I mostly like the artwork on the cards. It's definitely better than watching the World Series baseball. I think my Grandpa used to call it the Fall Classic or something.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats cool.. i hardly watch the world series unless the sf giants are in it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think that's a baseball team doing a little better than the Cubs...I heard they haven't won the world series since the Ottoman Empire was in existence. Amazing!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think the cubs are only in existence to make everyone else feel better about their own team<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
LOL I bet there is a group of people like that in The Game of Thrones!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello. Would you pay 10$ a month for you tube music ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Probably not, I dont really need it lol I just listen to pandora mostly.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would rather listen for it with ads<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
did you know youtube is the second largest search engine in the world?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I use it every day since 2005 when it was first launched<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I probably use it a lot too, I look up how-to videos, reviews, movie trailers, tips, and snowboarding videos lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would like to check out blutube to see the law enforcement videos<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Is that available to the public?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would have to check in to that. Do you like Spotify ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I honestly have never used it, I hear it has 4 million songs that have never been played though thats kinda sad.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes it is sad. but I just download all my songs from you tube for free<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
do you use spotify at all? Did you know a band earned 20k from spotify for a silent album lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes but you need like 13745 plays just to make 7.25 a hour<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess it depends on how many songs they had on there then, to make 20 k lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you use google ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes probably everyday lol how about u?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i started when the IPO took place back in 2004<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
did you know google maps calculates the traffic by how fast android phones are moving?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is very good to know.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Instead of hiring people to mow their lawn they once used hundred of goats<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
and I need to look up "baby" by JB just to see why people dont like it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Its a good music video, i dont know why people dont like it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
it has been nice chatting with you. Enjoy you tube while is free<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thanks have a good one.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey do you like baseball by the way? What do you think about the Nationals<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm a big baseball fan! I think they will do ok even though they lost Bryce Harper. It's kind of the same situation like how they lost Jayson Werth a few years ago.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Speaking of baseball did you know that a baseball manager can actually play for the team if necessary?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be interesting to see! That's one rule I didn't know.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep that's why they wear uniforms, also weird is that in Canada people is known as soccer baseball<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's interesting too! Up until 2005 a married couple scheduled all 2430 MLB games for 24 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That seems like a lot of work! Do you know why they stopped? The guy who found millions of dollars of baseball cards in his attic is a very lucky dude!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know why they stopped. I know I would stop working if I found a million dollars worth of baseball cards! lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep I could think of a lot of things to do with a million dollars lOL and I would be very happy that my grandfather had them in the Attic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes! No doubt. Did you know that the womens world cup had a higher tv ratings than the world series in the US?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I didn't know that that's crazy. also crazy is that baseball is super popular in Japan, they even think that it is their National Pastime and not ours LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
lol Babe Ruth who was known for home runs was caught stealing to end game 7 of the 1926 world series? Interesting useless stat. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha what's an interesting stat. Do you ever watch Game of Thrones? I know that's a change of topic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've seen it but don't follow it close. I know it got financed by Ireland because they film scenes there which boosts tourism incomes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep you're right about that. I think it first premiered back in 2011 which seems like a long time ago, I can't wait for the new season to start in April<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The next season is supposed to be the last one correct?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes it will be the last one. It's crazy that Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter is actually in Game of Thrones, I forget who she is though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow. I never knew that. How neat. I'm going to have to binge watch it and get caught up before the last season begins. I've heard that Arya is the fastest rising new baby name given to girls in the US most like because of Game of Thrones.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha you're right about that! And yes you should definitely check it out, they even made a knockoff series about lions called game of lions LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's funny! I see that Harry Lloyd who is on there is the great great great grandson of Charles Dickens. That is neat they have 2 people related to famous people from a long time ago.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep I agree with you. There's even a guy who is the great grandson of Charles Dickens LOL they've got everyone in the show<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do like baseball. I think it's crazy that the baseball managers can actually play the game. That's why they wear the uniforms<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is, considering theres like 20 players on the team, I think its safe to say the manager can just not suit up lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha that's a good point. Do you know what they call kickball in Canada<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I read it but I dont remember lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha well they call it soccer-baseball, a very dumb name in my opinion LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
maybe they should shorten it to like socball lol sounds better to me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Lol that does sound a lot better actually. Can you imagine if you found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in your attic. I would probably have a heart attack<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i would go on vacations! Like a really nice one, then save or invest the rest. I wish my family collected something cool like that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep I agree. Did you know that baseball is super popular in Japan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
who wouldve thought!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know right. I guess a lot of Japanese are confused in knowing that it is America's national pastime. but we created the game so that's why it's so weird haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah really. Do you watch game of thrones?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do like Game of Thrones. What about you? I can't wait for the new season to start in April<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
seriously!!! Im re watching all of the season to prepare for it hahaha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep I need to do that too! I love that Peter Dinklage has won three Emmy Awards. He does a great job in that show<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
he does a great of making us hate him lol I really love Tyrion.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Tyrion is awesome haha. It's great that the show has gotten a total of 47 Emmys as well. I even got three Hugo Awards. I just need to know how the show ends haha.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes I definitely want to see how this crazy show ends, and I want to see what spin off they will make, i would really like a tv show about the targaryens!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep I think they are making spin-offs to so that will be cool. Have you ever seen the show Game of lions<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have not, its on my to do list lol I love animal shows too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Animals are awesome! It's also crazy how many stars in Game of Thrones are related to famous stars. Let's hope that this season is good!<end_of_turn>

Hi, do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I grew up in St. Louis in the 70's so I used to love the Cardinals, KC in the 90-00's so a big Royals fan and I've been in Boston for 4 years so I have enjoyed local baseball in all three towns. Are you a fan? I knew that managers wear uniforms in the dugout because they can technically play and there were player-managers in the old days, but when the last time a manager actually played in a game?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hi, yes I like baseball , and sports in general....and is true I have never seen a manager playing!! but is good they are ready in case they are needed!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's funny baseball is so popular in Japan that many fans don't know it was America's pastime. I guess they forgot WW II, it was brought there by occupying US Troops after Japan surrendered.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that is impressive, they kind of ignored how americans feel about baseball.. i think the Chicago cubs have not won in a long time!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, first team to win back-to-back World Series and not another one for 108 years (Ottoman Empire was still in existence when they last won a World Series?), that ironic. As a St. Louis fan growing up I did go to quite a few games at Wrigley Field along the way before they had lights which made a good afternoon. As I have a lot of Cub fan friends that World Series win was quite something, though many of them felt relief instead of happiness after the win.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is really cool history right there. Would be nice to see a win from the cubs again. Do you know what a very lucky man found in his grandfather's attic?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You mean the $3 Million dollar baseball card collection? Yes, I collected and bought some rare cards at a shop and know have no idea where they album are, a luck garbage collector might have found them when my mom cleaned out the attic long after I moved out. Being in Red Sox land, there's always the ghost of Babe Ruth, when you look at the big guy he doesn't look fleet of foot, bunny he lost the '26 World series getting caught trying to steal home down by one run. Funny thought, though I doubt Yankee fans thought that , that year.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow, you collected those too! I am amazed those cards lasted hidden since the 1940's!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I think every kid 1940-19808 probably did. You see where in the '92 World Series the US Marine Corp color guard carried the flag upside down, I wonder if that was planned to psyche them out or distract them from the game plan or totally an accident?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would be funny if it was an accident.. You lknow? I really like hoe the world series are played.. It is not just one game..you get a seven game playoff and the excitement lasts more than other sports!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, that makes it fairer to the best team. You can win on a fluke shot or play in one game (i.e. Super Bowl, NCAA Champion), but to win 4 or 7 is more skill. I am a Royals fan and they Won the World Series 4-5 years ago and then lost all their best players to free agency or like Justin Verlander leaving the Tigers and going to the Astro's. With small market teams the skill isn't always evenly distributed around the league.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes that is kind of sad.. and Verlander helped so much the Astros to win.. it was the right move.. for the Astros<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, there's two sides to every story. Though small market teams don't have the draw of the Yankee's or Dodgers, you see where the Women's World Cup had higher TV rating than the World Series in the US last year?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am a soccer fan and the womens world cup grew a lot in popularity since the last one! But I was shocked to learn that is was watched more than the world series!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
So was I, speaking of fans. My wife loves Game of Thrones, we're binge watching it getting ready for the final season, do you watch it? It has some great blood lines, did you see where Charles Dickens great-great-great grandson and Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter are both actors on the HBO Series?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do not watch but I know is really really popular!! Even made the name Arya very popular in new baby girls.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, that crazy to me. I like the show okay, buy my wife is so enthused she'd probably name a kid after one of the shows characters (both our kids are out college, there's no risk in that). It is beautifully filmed, financed by Ireland with some many scenes set there and Croatia, Canada, Malta and all the other places they filmed it makes for some beautiful scenery for all the sets.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
LOL wow it is film in really beautiful places !!! I probably will create a game of thrones tour and visit all those places including the sites in Spain, Scottland, Morocco!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I assure you they already have it in Ireland and soon, if not already there will be cruise lines offering Game of Thrones Themed world cruises. You don't follow the show, but the Lannister's are an evil clan ruling the throne (illegitimately some would say) for many years and Martin, the author of the book said (funny living in Boston area) the Patriots are the Lannister's of the NFL which I think isn't a totally false and funny analogy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
LOL!! I will probably watch Game of Lions!! You know I have enjoyed this chat very much!! Cool facts about baseball history!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I enjoyed the wide ranging discussion too. Have a great remainder of your week.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I'm a Royals fan. I thought it funny that managers wear unis because they can play.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, I never thought that was possible, I think the whole team has to get injured first though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Can you imagine someone like Tommy Lasorda playing. It would be like Babe Ruth getting caught stealing in the 1926 World Series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I can imagine the scenario, Babe Ruth sure was a great player, too bad his team lost that game back in 1926<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep. Funny, kickball is called soccer-baseball in Canada.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I see, so do you like to watch series? have you watched Game of Thrones before?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes and yes... I love GoT, it's a guilty pleasure of mine. I was surprised to learn that Harry Lloyd was a relative of Charles Dickens. Love Charles Dickens...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a suprising fact are they really related? guess theres no doubt where his talent comes from, you know the series are financed in part by Ireland<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard that. There are more famous connections too. Talisa is the granddaughter of Talisa. Wow.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if they knew these facts when they casted the actors of the show, it seems like there's a lot of interesting facts behind the series<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm sure they let it slip out during the casting. GoT now has spin offs, a Nat'l Geo show called Game of Lions where lions are like GoT characters.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Havent seen that one but sounds like an interesting show for sure, Game of Lions, I wonder how its similar to the series<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I can't imagine costuming lions like that. Can you believe the women's World Cup had better ratings than the World Series in the U.S.?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It did? maybe because the womens team is pretty good, they always land in a good spot, still, its surprising as baseball is one of the most popular games in America<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I guess baseball is so popular in Japan that they were surprised to find out it's America's national pastime.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes Japan has a lot of fans indeed, do you know who the Chicago Cubs are?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, until they won in 2016, the Ottoman Empire was still in existence the last time they won the World Series.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard they had a big drought before that, its strange how the team was the first to win the series back to back<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was long for sure. I was glad to see them beat the Indians in 2016. It was like that had a curse or something like in GoT.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah it sure seemed that way, its a good thing the curse got lift.<end_of_turn>

Hi, how are you doing tonight?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, I'm trying to learn what the word "accoutrements" means, do you have any idea?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What are you learning that word for?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, it's a new tactic that video game companies are tyring to employ to entice gamers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh, you mean you need to buy extra and accessories in order to enjoy the game fully? Pretty sneaky.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I suppose, do you play video games on consoles like the PlayStation?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to play video games a lot as a kid. Don't play now. No time. Little interest. Do you like to play?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, but the US department of defense used over a thousand of those consoles to build a supercomputer because it was cheaper than the alternative! That sounds like massive processing power!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's a smart way to go. Scale up simple units to get the power. I don't really know the PS. Aren't they up to PS4 or something?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not sure since I don't play as well either, all I know is that it is created and owned by Sony who launched it in Japan. They were so popular and successful that they've sold at least over 100 million units! Wonder what X-box's numbers are.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Sony has made a great platform. Are the games good? Usually that drives the sales of the machine. Are the games on all the platforms now?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not sure since those consoles can be used for research purposes, like researchers are using them to research black holes, maybe they are not only used for games.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did hear that the military used the controllers for training troops on equipment. Very intuitive. They learned fast. I don't know why black holes for research though. Why not regular computers?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Probably since it was cheaper like the supercomputer they built out of the consoles. I wonder if I went on YouTube whether or not I could learn how to build a supercomputer as well. Do you use YouTube?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's true. Cheaper. I sometimes use Youtube, usually for music.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do the same for those purposes as well and for DIY videos which I think is a large reason why its the second largest search engine on the net!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
DIY videos? Sounds interesting. Why is Justin Bieber's "baby" is the most disliked video on youtube? Why the hate? I don't like the guy, but what's the point?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah exactly, like Facebook, they should probably take away that dislike button and spread a little bit more positivity! Unless it's because his die-hard fans are sad that he isn't a "Baby" anymore. fans do get crazy sometimes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not really up to speed on the new music. I guess I'm getting old. I use Youtube to find my favorites from the old days.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not only do they have songs, they even have music videos, backstage access, audio recordings, etc. so you can find them all on there, even the oldies but goodies!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's great! Police actually have their own youtube called blutube, where they share law enforcement videos. I wonder if there are any secrets there that would be good to know. "How to get out of a ticket."<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if there were videos whether or not they'd actually work. Great chat, have a nice day!<end_of_turn>

Hello, do you happen to have a pet?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I don't own a pet. I do like dogs, though. Do you own a pet?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have a dog, its interesting how there about 12 different blood types, my dog is a donor and I never knew this fact.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've heard that there are dog blood drives. I guess the dogs are ok with having a needle in their leg.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess so, some of them might be afraid, you know Google prefers dogs over cats, they are a dog company.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's probably easier to manage dogs in an office space. Cats won't stay put.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree but cats spend like 66% of their lives sleeping, when they reach the age of 15 they have spent 10 of those years sleeping.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
When they're asleep, they're easy to manage. Once they're awake, they wander and explore. Cats would be great if they would sit at a computer and surf the Internet. Istanbul has vending machines that reward dogs for collecting recycled bottles.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if thats an effective system, I think it might work and its a way to reduce costs for sure.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've never been to a cat cafe. There are many of them in Japan and Taiwan. I guess the cats get along with each other and don't have a problem with people trying to pet them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I guess cats are popular in those countries, there is an author that published his cat as the coauthor of his book.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think he wanted to use the word "we" in the paper, so he included his cat as an author. I wonder how a cat got to be the mayor of a town.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet the other politicians were really bad lol, still think mayor Stubbs will do a better work than most politicians.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A cat couldn't really do much harm. Sleeps most of the time. Rest of the time they hunt. Cats have eliminated the bird species of specific areas, even caused extinction.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They have? wow that is suprising, you know the cat in godfather 1 was actually a strayed one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was a pretty well-behaved cat. I don't think cats will ever be called "man's best friend" but they sure come close.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I dont think that either, you know dogs are actually not color blind, they can also see colors but not in the way we do.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not surprised. I suspect that many animals can see color, just not like human beings For example, I expect that cats can see color as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I see, I didnt know cats could also see colors that is surprising to me!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Cats probably also have many different blood types. I wonder whether they have blood drives the same as for dogs.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet there are, I mean there are a lot of people who love cats so its really probable.<end_of_turn>

I was reading that Jazz trumpeters grew goatees as it provides comfort when they are playing. I never knew that and found it interesting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is interesting, so they started it for comfort over style then.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess. I once had a neighbor who was into jazz and would play. He was pretty good. A harlem woman has free concerts at her apartment for the past 20 years and sometimes top performers will stop over. What fun!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be fun, and its sounds like her neighbors all like it if it's been happening for 20 years!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know that Wayne Rooney is considering signing with DC United<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think he did sign with them actually, this must be a bit dated. I think that is the new norm now with stars coming to the US to end their careers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I understand he is not the only one to come to the US. He did sign that is interesting. Do you follow sports much. I do not which is why I had not known.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do follow sports so that is why I knew. I am a big fan of english league football actually.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is wonderful! So DC United is a team in the US. Is the game played the same here in the US and in England?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah they are an MLS which is the American soccer league. The game is played the same way but we have a playoffs here instead of top of table wins the league.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think that soccer is a great sport and while I do not follow, I think it is a lot better than american football is. I would imagine that he is a good player as they did want him badly.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah he is a good player and I think he has been doing good for them so far. And I agree, and I think american football is far more dangerous a sport to play.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It certainly is. Soccer is such a popular sport all around the world. I guess a player named Mesut Ozil donated his earnings from a bonus in the World Cup to pay for 23 children in Brazil to have surgeries. What a nice thing to do.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I read that, I think that is such a cool thing to do. I know he has been in a tough situation with his national team as of late as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is too bad for him. Hopefully things turn around. I always wondered why americans call it soccer and I read that is because it was the slang for Association Football. Such a simple reason.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I guess it started as a slang term and just caught on for some reason here, I think its stupid that we named american football, football, because most of it is played with our hands!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ha, ha, I always wondered that as well. It does not make any sense. Honestly I am surprised that soccer is not more popular here in the US Did you read that there is a variation of soccer where 3 teams play at the same time. That must be crazy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think I heard about that one time. I think people here think its too boring because of the score, but it really is the most exciting. And then I think that they think they need to come up with new games or ways to play to make it more exciting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes that might be so. Reading about hats and I see birthday hats were derived from dunce hats to encourage foolish behaviour at parties.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is pretty interesting. Did you know the same type of plastic they make legos with is used to make hard hats?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, I never knew that. Funny that they limited hat pins to a certain length, afraid women would use them as weapons.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is funny! Well its been nice talking with you, I hope you have a good night.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Good morning! Do you like dogs?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, I have a dog at home and a cat. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love dogs. I have one as well, and it's so smart it can understand pointing. I guess dogs and elephants can do that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah they are smart. Did you know that they are not color blind, but they can't see as many different colors as humans?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that, but that's cool. Did you know google prefers dogs to cats?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've heard that their code of conduct specifically states that. That's pretty cool!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Speaking of cats, when a cat reaches 15, they've spent 10 of it sleeping. Must be nice!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's funny. Did you know there's a town in Alaska has had a cat as its mayor since 1997.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They have my vote! Cats are famous sometimes, even one from the Godfather part 1 that was a stray on set!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know there's cat cafe's in Japan and Taiwan where people can pay hourly to play with cats and have drinks. I wonder if that would go over well here.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think it would with dogs, since they perform many roles for humans!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that they have 12 different blood types.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me neither! They also have dog blood drives for them to donate to!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I need to take my dog to one. I give blood all the time so he should too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure he would save many dog's lives! I wish I lived in Hawaii as far as business attire goes!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'd like wearing an Aloha shirt instead of my uniform. I dress pretty much like Billy Mays' pallbearers. Blue shirt and khaki pants.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is one nice style you have there! I wear polo shirts but didn't know they were invented for tennis players!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never knew that either. They were invented by Rene "The Crocodile" Lacoste.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What a nickname! I can see why it was later adopted by polo players, hence the name!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I can see that too. In China during the cultural revolution, gang fashion involved layering as many shirts as you could and popping their color. That's a fashion that I'm glad died.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am too. I always laughed at those people. Well it was nice chatting with you, have a great day!<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi do you like cats? They are definitely good at hunting vermin!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Agreed. I do love cats as well as most pets! Did you know the cat used in the opening scene of The Godfather was actually a stray they found on set? I thought that was pretty cool!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh that is super cool. From rags to riches. A cats life must be nice. They spend over half their life sleeping!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That us true. Ha! I would like to visit one of those cat cafes over in Japan that lets you pay by the hour to drink and play with cats! I bet that's so interesting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be fun! Also there is a town in Alaska that has a cat mayor!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Is that so? That's a little odd! Ha! Did you ever hear about the physicist that published his cat as coauthor so he could avoid criticism by writing in first person plural?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha I never knew about that. However I also like dogs too. They were the first species to be domesticated!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love dogs as well! It's crazy only dogs and elephants are the only animals that can understand pointing, isn't it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I agree I would think more animals would understand that. Google also prefers dogs to cats which is kind of funny that they declare such a thing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know, right? I wonder if they have vending machines around their buildings that releases water and food in exchange for bottles like Istanbul does. It'd be nice if our country could do that!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah probably not a ton of strays in Palo Alto! But yeah I think that is a cool idea to promote recycling.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Agreed and help stray dogs as well. I also think its crazy that dogs can't see as many different colors as we humans can.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is interesting. I think it's funny when owners put shirts on their dogs. They probably put Hawaiian shirts on their dogs in Hawaii!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ha! Probably so. You know, I've always loved the term man's best friend. They do so much for humans like companionship, hunting, protecting, pulling and even therapeutic roles, man's best friend is the perfect term, in my opinion!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah totally agree with you. Did you know that the official business attire in Hawaii is the aloha shirt instead of a traditional suit and tie?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Is it really? That's kind of funny! Ha! I do know the pallbearers at Billy Mays' funeral wore khakis and blue shirts. That was very nice of them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. In china the gang layered as many shirts as possible and popped their collars!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Now that's interesting. Ha! I also think it's interesting that button down is when collar tips fasten to the body of the shirt and button up does not. I never really realized that!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I didn't know that either. I always thought polo shirts were designed by polo players but they were originally invented by tennis players!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Were they really? I figured polo players invented them as well. But you know, in American English, the term shirt is such a catch all term that represents a wide variety of upper body garments and even undergarments.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I agree it does. In Britain they have more specific definition of the word.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it's more specifically a garner with a collar and sleeves with cuffs along with a full vertical opening with buttons. We would actually refer to it as a dress shirt. Ha! Well it was great chatting with you! Have a nice day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Many people enjoy chatting on the Internet. Do you? Do you like computers?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do actually, I use the computer a lot. I just do not have that kind that the russians made that runs on water<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The water computer sounds alien, like something that Elon Musk would create. I wonder how fast that darn thing ran. As fast as Windows 8 maybe.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not sure since it was also a very long time ago, in 1936.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
1936. That was a great year for water computers. Since then, not so good. I expected the Russians to make one that ran on vodka, but then again, vodka is too precious for computers. WOuld you upload your mind to a computer? If it ran on vodka, I would.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I do not think so but it seems transhumanists are trying to do that. Curious to see if they succeed<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
If they succeed, they will have long boring lives. They will spend their time chatting on the Internet for cash to buy upgrades.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds very probable. DO you have a PC or an Apple computer?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have a PC. I have used Apple stuff though. You? Playstation?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I have an Apple so I guess good thing that I am not a smoker so as not to void the warranty<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What about vaping though? Is that a problem? Then Apple would lose like 90% of their hipster customers!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, right? Do you watch youtube on your computer?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I sometimes watch YouTube to catch up on news and documentaries. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah me too. It is the second largest search engine now on the internet<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
People are addicted to them vids! The kids can't enough of 'em! Even I go there to listen to my old favorites from back in the day!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Cool. Do you know which is the most disliked video in there?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Dislliked? I don't know. Some teen idol? Donald Trump?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Actually is it Justin Bieber, his song Baby<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The Bieb! That figures. The guy bothers a lot of people. He's rich, he doesn't care. Things are going his way.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess so . Have you heard of Bluetube?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Bluetube? Sounds racy. What is it, and how much does it cost?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is actually a police YouTube. Nice chat<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A little tired because I didn't get enough sleep. Have you ever had a pet cat? By the time they're 15, cats have spent about 10 years of their lives sleeping<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Sorry, to hear that. I have had a cat, she passed away last year and she was 18 years old. I believe she probably slept 16 out of those 18 years sleeping. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't realize that they sleep so much or that there are over 70 breeds!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
My cat was probably the easiest low maintenance pet I ever had, A lot less needy than my dogs, for sure. Do own any pets?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The only pet I've ever had are fish, though I don't mind cats. I had a friend in college who wants to open her own cat cafe like they have in Japan and Taiwan<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, I heard about those cafes. People pay to have a drink and play with cats. Sounds like an easy way to make money!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not sure how easy that would be with all the food safety laws we have here in the US. Maybe that's why it hasn't become popular here.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's true. Did you know that dogs have 12 different blood types and can donate at blood drives?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if their blood types work similarly to ours? I know some dogs would be able to give more blood than others based on their size<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure, but they probably work the same, I'd think. I'm sure there's a big need especially for dogs with cancers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it's interesting how dogs and cats can be different, but both are useful for hunting<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is interesting. It's also interesting that Istanbul has vending machines that dispense water and food in exchange for recycled plastic bottles.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's a genius way to take care of the strays while also encouraging recycling. I bet Google would donate to that type of initiative considering the company loves dog enough to have it in their code of conduct<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, they are truly a dog company! We need these machines in America!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The stray cats could probably benefit from something like that as well. When filming the Godfather, the cat in the opening scene was actually a stray that wandered onto the set<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's cool, cat was a movie star and didn't even know it. lol I wonder if the cat named Stubbs in Talkeetna, Alaska knows that its the mayor?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Since 1997, nonetheless. That's a long time for an animal to be in a political position. There must not be a large population in that part of Alaska<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Probably held that position longer than some politicians. Don't have to worry about too many scandals when you're a cat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's about as funny as the physicist whose cat is a coauthor just so his grammar would be correct. It was easier to add the cat than to use first person singular rather than plural<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is funny too, You don't have to worry about your grammar either, when you're a cat. It's been nice chatting with you this afternoon.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hello there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello yourself> What have you been getting up to tonight?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Just relaxing, hanging with my dog. Listening to music. Yourself?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Similar regarding the dog. I was talking to my roommate about MLS Soccer.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like Orlando City, personally. I have a good friend who used to play for Manchester United.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really? I bet that was wild. I didn't think I'd ever need to know much about it myself. We were actually talking about Wayne Rooney a little bit ago.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you have any thoughts about where Wayne Rooney will end up next year?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No thoughts but I've heard talk. Atlanta has gone nuts for MLS the last couple of years. We won the Cup this year and now when you walk into a bar you hear guys speculating about Rooney to DC United next year.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Orlando has embraced MLS too, I am quite surprised how popular it has become.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm with you 110% on that. I haven't heard anyone talk about how embarrassing the Falcons are in weeks. It makes sense. We haven't ever really had a winner before. I'm wondering if Rooney can still play or if this is like Beckham playing in LA when the MLS began.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
To switch gears for a moment, I'm listening to Dizzy Gillespie at the moment. He always was a favorite of mine, a trumpet virtuoso. Did you now that jazz trumpeters often grow goatees because it provides comfort when they play their instrument?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't but I can see why that would be appealing.The facial hair I mean. I've tried to like it but Jazz just doesn't do much for me. New Orleans jazz is sort of the exception. I like the big brass sections. I do like zydeco and that has a lot of jazz influence.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I definitely would say I prefer music that's influenced by jazz, rather than jazz itself. Tom Waits is my favorite artist ever, and the influence of jazz is present on a lot of his work.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree with you about the influence it's had on other music. It's kind of funny that you brought up jazz actually. It's such a mish mash of musical influences from around the world but it's probably still the most original art form that the United States has ever produced. That's sort of what we've got going on with the Atlanta FC here.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you now that the term soccer came from "association football"? I find that interesting. I always wondered why it wasn't called something else.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that. I've wondered though. We've got all of these sports fans here from different places with competing team loyalties. Except for soccer. Most of them never had a pro team that they grew up rooting for. They all grew up knowing something about that. I mean we're talking 250 million players worldwide. Now these guys have a team to root for with no competing loyalties. It's a more communal experience and it has taken off around here.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you ever go to live games? It's an experience I have only very recently had an opportunity to possibly enjoy, and yet I haven't. I wonder if I would enjoy it for the entire duration of the game.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I haven't gone yet but I'm going to this coming season. My interest in other sports has waned so the timing is perfect. Get in on the ground floor of something special you know. It's hard to pick up though. You wouldn't think it would you. A big stretch of grass with a goal on either side's more complex than I thought. Theres way more people to talk about it with too. More than all the major American sports leagues combines in terms of fanbase.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep, it gives you something to talk about with so many people from different countries. I think that's really cool. They really mean the "world" when they said the world cup, unlike the world series, which is just a national matchup. That's interesting you say it's tough to pick up. I bet the best way to really learn about it would be to play FIFA video games.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats a good point about playing FIFA. That was my only exposure to the sport growing up. There's a much lower barrier to entry to play the game in the real world. Probably part of it's popularity. It's kind of funny. The color scheme and the uniforms here kind of remind me of Harry Potter. I guess ridiculous hats are a thing in football circles. I don't know how else to explain the goofy ones I've seen around here after FC games.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Sports fans are definitely responsible for some ridiculous hats, like the oversided cowboy hat, that's like measured in gallons rather than regular hat size. I'm not a hat guy myself, my head's too big. Speaking of cowboy hats, in the old west, the cowboy hat was not the most common hat worn. It was actually the bowler, which truthfully is a lot classier looking in my opinion.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Billy the Kid was a bowler hat kind of guy. I like hats because I'm bald. They keep the sweat out of my eyes and keep my head warm. Sports fans have changed headwear from a social status thing to more of a social group identity thing. Ironically the only times I'm not likely to wear a hat is when it would be the most useful. I've worked in construction most of my life but I could never get used to wearing a hard hat. Lucky I didn't get my brains scrambled.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Goodness. Yeah, the only time I ever wore hats was when a job required me to, for me to display whatever fast food logo I worked for. And with that thought, I will depart.<end_of_turn>

Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm good! Do you use youtube?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do use youtube. Do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do. I love it! It's where I first say Psy's Gangnam Style video. Have you seen it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have not seen that one. I haven't seen Justin Beiber's Baby either but that is probably good since it is the most disliked video on the platform.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
lol Poor Beib's. Psy's video got so many views on youtube that they had to upgrade the view count integer to 64 bits.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You tube is the 2nd largest search engine behind google. Make sense since google owns them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I believe that. Google bought youtube for $1.65 billion dollars! That's a lot of cash.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is! Between youtube and netflix, they make up half of peak internet usage.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I believe it! People love videos! Do you have a playstation?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I kind of do... My son has one that I bought him. Do you have one?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
My kids do. I have no idea how to play it. lolol Playstation 3's are being used to research black holes somehow.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow. The DoD used 1760 of them to build a supercomputer...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow. Who would have thought that? lol The original grand theft auto game disc for playstation, when placed in a cd player would play the game soundtrack. Kind of neat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is cool. The last game produced for ps2 was fifa 14. I had no idea.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't either! lol Do you use computers a lot? In 1936 the Russians made a computer that could run on water!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do use them a lot. The space shuttles general purpose computer runs on 1 mb of ram.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow. That's pretty incredible to think about. Someone built a working 16 bit computer using nothing but the basic minecraft building blocks.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe it was a transhumanist. They want to upload their mind to computers. I am not sure I would want to do that...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would want to do it so my future generations of my descendants can look back at my life. Be interesting I think.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
With that perspective, yes. Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you? Do you like jazz?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi there! Yeah I do like jazz! Do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I love jazz. I am listening to some right now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ah nice! Yeah Jazz is interesting to me simply because it originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans. It's definitely rare and unique, in my opinion.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It certainly is. I think that it should be more popular, but it is too artistic. Not enough show business, too much art.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Can you believe that Pakistan has a jazz orchestra that is currently topping the charts? Wow jazz has made it's way from New Orleans around the entire world!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, even in Pakistan. I figure that there is value in all genres of music. Perhaps the rest of the world sees the value in jazz.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There certainly is value in all music, I agree! Which reminds me that I just recently heard that Clint Eastwood is a lifelong jazz enthusiast, pianist, and he's scored several films, including Million Dollar Baby!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He seems like a tough guy, but he is an actor and artist so I'm not surprised. He is not a very good singer though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha, then maybe I should be happy I've not heard him sing! So I was reading about how jazz trumpeters grew goatees to make playing a bit more comfortable. I wonder if that is possibly the origin of goatees. Maybe, maybe not!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He sang at the end of Gran Turino. I think people tried all kinds of facial hair, but for brass, maybe it's an obvious choice.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hm. I did watch that movie but I just can't remember him singing! I'll check it out again, since now I'm pretty curious! :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Right at the end. Then another singer takes over. Clint writes good melodies though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting to be able to write melodies but not be able to sing so well! I pretty much have the opposite problem. Haha. Clint seems like such a new-age cowboy to me. Speaking of cowboys! The most popular hat in the old west was the bowler hat and not even the cowboy hat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess the bowler was style and class and the cowboy hat was a working hat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Personally I prefer cowboy hats, especially since it's associated with hard work, instead of just sophistication and such. :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, they have their own kind of cool. the bowler looks stuffy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree! I prefer hates for functionality such as protecting against weather conditions, sun, and even beanie's for cold weather! Beanies are technically hats, right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, sure. But dont wear one to a wedding though! anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah thanks! It's been great! :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have a great day! If it's cold outside, make sure to wear a beanie! :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, by all mean.s<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's pretty sunny here, so I'll maybe wear a baseball cap :) Later!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Bye<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Bye :)<end_of_turn>

Hi?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have you heard of visual novels such as "Stay" that run on game consoles like Xbox?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, I have not. That sounds fascinating. How is that different from a movie?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You interact with it. In fact if you ignore it, it taunts you. Intruders invade and all kinds of things happen.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That sounds like a great way to have fun. I bet the story line is pretty good too. You don't kill things or earn points. Is it popular?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would guess so, it's on many different consoles. In certain parts of the story there are minefields.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess I should look into this. Do you use Playstation?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No. The most significant thing is that it can have different endings.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't really play video games much anymore. Do you? Do you use computers much? I do.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I use computers a lot. Did you know Windows 95 was the 2nd most installed SW in 1995?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
W95 was huge for its time. It got delayed several times, but it was a big jump for Microsoft. I used it a lot myself.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me too. The first computer algorithm was written by a woman named Ada. I wonder if that's where the name ADA came from in computing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I believe so. There was a programming language called ADA. I never used it. She was very bright.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's what I was saying. It came from Pascal. Bell distributed a manual cardboard computer to HS students in 1968 to teach them how that works. I'd be interested in seeing that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I see. Pascal and ADA are related languages. Is it in use now? I wouldn't expect so.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
If I remember right, the gov't was pushing ADA. There's probably a lot of legacy systems with it. Did you know the first YouTube video was some dude talking about an elephant...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
An elephant? Not ADA? LOL. I guess that makes sense. The first upload was probably pretty basic.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Now there are 79 full episodes of "The Joy of Painting" with Bob Ross.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, that man is a legend! Encouraged so many people to try painting. There should be a paint program called Ross.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah. Did you know the PS3's only have 256MB of RAM? That's not much...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's not much at all. I'm surprised. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thanks.<end_of_turn>

Are you a fan of Jazz?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
hi how are you? yes, i like jazz. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do. So does Clint Eastwood apparently.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, he plays piano. he also composes too, ive heard.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that. That is pretty cool.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He is allergic to horses, i think, so maybe he spends more time at the piano now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting, I wonder how he shot all of those films then?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think he wasnt allergic at first, but then developed an allergy. maybe he is getting treatment now? i dont know<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. Who would have guessed?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if clint knows that Pakistan has a jazz orchestra that is currently topping the charts.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure, but that is a good question. Do you like hats?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
hats are good. stylish, functional. i dont wear them often. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nah, I think they promote baldness. LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
good thing i dont wear them then. LOL. Im surprised that the most popular hat in the old west was the bowler, not the cowboy hat<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. I would have thought the cowboy hat myself.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, maybe that is a working hat and people wanted to be stylish? i dont know.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure to be honest. There was a law in 1908 that limited the length of hairpins.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
boy, those women and their hairpins! LETHAL! LOL i guess women did not carry guns then? that would have been funny<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, sounds pretty comical. Well, nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, it has been great chatting! I'm glad that the server is back up! Yay<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Take it easy!<end_of_turn>

Hello did you know the only fish to have a neck is the seahorse?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never thought about it but that is interesting! I am kind of frightened that there is a breed of jelly fish that are immortal. Yikes!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
And lobster! They are immortal in a sense that their organs dont age, so as long as nothing kills them they can technically live forever.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yuck. I don't like that at all. One of the most interesting fish is the balck swallower fish that can eat prey twice its own length and ten times its weight. Sounds like one of those creepy snakes that eat huge animals.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yuck? Ah you dont like seadfood? I love eating lobster lol I think that fish black swallow is amazing, to have the ability to have their body stretch like that, who knows when their next meal will come along.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am allergic to shellfish...maybe that is it. But can you believe this... I named my son Fisher. So there is a little love there!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
oh thats too bad, sorry to hear. Haha Fisher, thats a great name. Freshwater fish drink water through their skin!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting! I just learned that there are about 20 quintillion individual animals on planet earth. Crazy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah and they are not even all discovered yet! theres a bunch undiscovered animals and insects in the amazon rainforest still.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The rainforest frightens me. Too many creatures! I can only imagine how many insects are in there! Did you know that animals develop white patches on their foreheads when they are domesticated?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt. I guess I would never notice because my dog is white lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is funny. My dog has a white patch ...but not on it's forehead! They say that hiccups are a holdover from early evolution when early land animals had gills and lungs.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I kinda wish we still had gills lol That would be sweet to swim longer under water.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree! Look...I love my sleep but there are some birds who fly from alaska to northern mexico without sleeping when migrating. Exhausting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know right, thats incredible. I also love sleeping.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Naps are the best! I like that hummingbirds steal spiderwebs to construct and repair their nests. Where do you think they hide it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The hummingbirds? I have no clue lol Where do they hide?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No! I was asking where they hide the spiderweb when they are stealing it. I was trying to be funny. Didn't work! LOL! One fact is that birds bones are so hollow that the entire skeleton weighs less than the feathers!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh lol Thats horrible, i wouldnt want hollow bones lol I guess it makes sense for them, they have to be light enough to fly<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True! Good point! In Australia there are wild birds that can mimic the sound of cameras, car alarms and chainsaws! Creepy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow that is really creepy! I wonder what bird does that lol Its been fun chatting.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi, do you like soccer?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
To be honest I don't like soccer. But I may watch the World Cup if the USA makes it to that point. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I like it because it is so international. did you know the city where it will be hosted in 2022 does not exist yet<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is crazy. Are you going to watch it? I don't know how they can just create a city out of nowhere and have it ready for 2022, but we'll see what happens<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I am looking forward to it and yes, I do not know how that is going to work<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do like the United States and soccer though. They got third place back in 1930 which was the first FIFA World Cup<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice, maybe they manage to climb back. you never know. The countries that host it do not have any net economic gains<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nope I heard about that. That's why I wonder why they're making an entire city for the World Cup. I guess the women's soccer team is better than the men's soccer team in the United States. Is that correct?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yup, they seem to do much better. soccer players make more money than other sports combined, well the major ones<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is really crazy. I know that football the United States makes a ton of money too. I always wondered why Americans call it soccer. I guess that is slang for association football<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I think football means differnt things in many different countries<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think you're right. I want to see the soccer variation with three teams. I bet that's really insane<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah that would be interesting to know. a german soccer player donated his winning from the world cup to kids in brazil<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that's really nice of him. I think it was something like three hundred thousand Euros? And it was paying for surgeries for those kids. That is so nice<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is super heartwarming. do you know jon stewart?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do know him. I think he was on The Daily Show correct?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah he is and he was also a very skilled soccer player<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that. what are your thoughts on Tom Hanks?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love the guy he is so talented. he is the highest box office star<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep I agree. He has a lot of awesome movies. I guess he's made almost 9 billion dollars worldwide with his film earnings. That is so much!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, that is insane. nice chat :)<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello there, do you follow the MLS?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, I think Wayne Rooney is a great acquisition for the leage what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I think it was good not only for him and his family but for the league as a whole.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree, he played at great teams and his an icon of soccer for sure, but there are other great players as well like Ibrahimovich<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I think that has become the new norm is for world class players to end their careers here in the US.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There is also another great player that played before Rooney his name is Roy Wegerle,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I guess Roy was a hell of a player. I guess he played for 5 different english clubs during his career.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He sure was and wat about Eddie Johnson, his been a pro since age 16, he sure has a good level of skill<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah Eddie Johnson and Freddi Adu were touted as being the next big things in soccer. They both had pretty good careers but not as big as hyped up to be.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well its hard since there is a lot of good players out there, sometimes its just a matter of luck , did you watch the last FIFA World Cup?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I get so excited each summer the world cup comes around. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did, I thought it was a great World Cup, I was rooting for Argentina but I guess France was the best team of the cup overall, I also liked how Croatia played.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah France had an amazing team and they finally played like it. Belgium, Croatia, and England did fairly well as well. I think Japan had some of the most exciting games to watch of all the teams.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree, those teams were also pretty good and almost made it, Im exited about the World Cup thats going to be hosted in Qatar by 2022 and then in the US by 2026<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah the Qatar one will be too different for me though. Watching the world cup in the middle of winter will be strange.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It will be weird I bet the players wont notice it thouhg as Qatar must be really hot even on winter time, its too bad the American soccer team isnt as good in the male category as it is on the female one<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah the men's team needed a whole rebuild. They have years to go before they are anywhere close to where the women's team is.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree, the womans team always place third or above, they must have a lot of support from the government<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That and I don't think other countries around the world have the women's programs in place like we do here in the US.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think they only support mens teams but who know even then the US team might be really great, do you know who Ozil is?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah of course I do, I follow the english league very closely. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, I like the premier legue and also the Spain league, well Ozil danated his winning bonus on 2014 to children in Brazil so that they could get surgery<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I remember seeing that, very cool. Well it was nice talking with you, I hope you have a nice day.<end_of_turn>

Hello.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hey! How are you today? Are you an animal person? I live in Florida so we have a ton of wildlife. One I don't like is jellyfish! There is a breed that is immortal!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have never seen a jellyfish in person. I love animals though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have almost stepped on a few when they wash up on the beach. Scary stuff. Fish in general can be scary like the black swallower than can eat prey ten times its weight.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah and twice its own length. Wonder where it puts it all.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No kidding! Only one fish has a neck, the seahorse. That seems crazy to me!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know freshwater fish only drink water through their skin via osmosis.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know that! I think as animal lovers we would be happy in Germany. In 2002, they universally gave animals constitutional rights.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I dont know about taking it that far. Seems like they ma be trying to make up for something over there in germany.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha, very true. That is a lot of animals to give right to! I do now know how many are in Germany, but there are 20 quintillion individual animals on the planet!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a boat load of animals huh.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I can't even comprehend that number! It is sad so many go extinct like the dodo bird.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is sad. Have you heard where hiccups ome from.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I have actually. They are a holdover from long ago when the first land animals had both gills and lungs.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Exactly what I was gonna say. Do you like birds.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, we have a ton of those in Florida too! They can trace birds back to 170 million years ago! Wild!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Some birds fly from alaska to mexico without sleeping when migrating.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is a crazy fact! Probably helps that their bones are very hollow and their skeleton weighs less than their feathers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That probably doe help.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, keeps them aerodynamic!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I really do love birds. Ttyl.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like sports?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not really into sports, but soccer isn't bad. My friend is obsessed with it and was telling me about this guy Freddy Adu who became pro at 14, I think<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh tell me more<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Apparently he peaked early though and never really became as great as he could be<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a shame. Do you watch the world cup?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, but my boyfriend has been trying to get me to. He said I should start with women's soccer because the female US team hasn't placed lower than third since they started in 1991.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Despite the US not being as supportive of soccer as other sports, the us teams have done amazingly well in the world cups as you mentioned<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, but i think Americans are getting tired of some of the US only sports. Soccer makes more money than football, basketball, baseball and golf combined.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is because soccer is the most popular internationally<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I asked my boyfriend why it's called soccer here and he said it was slang for association football in the states.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Honestly, football and american football confused the heck out of me when I was younger. Calling it soccer made it easier<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe they should just call American football :stupid ball" and get it over with. I heard the city set to host the fifa in 2022 doesn't even exist yet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True many countries want to host despite no immediate economic benefits<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's really surprising, I heard there are no disceernable economic benefits to host the Olympics either. I guess the whole process is so taxing to the economy and people.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Perhaps but it also provides prestige, advertisement, tourism, and jobs so I guess it is worth it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like that some of the players are altruistic at least, even if sports is mostly about money. I heard a German player donated his 300,000 FIFA win money to help kids in Brazil get surgery.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is very generous of him<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard Jon Stewart was a footballer as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hope soccer continues to maintain such a healthy spirit despite allegations of corruption surrounding the league<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am sure it will only gain in popularity as Americans start looking outside the country for what's new and different<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. Thanks for your time.<end_of_turn>

Hi, do you like wine?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not a big wine drinker, I have it occasionally but sometimes it gives me very bad headaches.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess Oregon wine is making a big push to be great! I had no idea!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know California is a major wine region, I guess the entire West Coast is a good place to have vineyards.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. I really want to do a vineyard tour in Napa. Have you ever been?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I have not. I will be traveling to Portland this year so I may have to see these Oregon vineyards firsthand now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice. My sister loves a vineyard in Oregon. I cannot remember the name though. She got pretty drunk on it and spent like $500 on a few cases.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'll have to watch how much wine I have, I don't know if I have enough space in my luggage to bring a few cases home.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, she had them mailed to her house! We have different priorities... I do not mind wine in a box. She has "standards". Ha!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I believe a lot more wineries are using the box delivery method. I think it saves them money and helps keep the wine fresher.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think so too. Do you enjoy star wars?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I've watched all the movies. I'm probably not as big a fan as a lot of people. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do like them but am not a huge fan. I thought I knew a lot but then got humbled by a true fan. They take that stuff really seriously!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes they do, I have heard a lot of them reference stories from outside the movies. I did not know there was so much lore in that universe.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I had no idea the original lightsaber is in the international space station. Wow...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's really cool, I wonder if any of the astronauts have taken it out to pretend to be Luke Skywalker.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would! I would also keep it secret like they did in empire strikes back, telling the crew lies!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That must have been great to watch the crew's reaction when the real line was filmed!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think they have done that with other shows in the past to not give away the ending of finales...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I have heard that they'll make fake scripts, only allow certain people on set, and put the names of actors on script pages in case it leakes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
I'm so ready for daylight savings time and longer days. Did you know that when the Earth was formed a day was only 5.5 hours long?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
interesting, lets talk about the planets more. Most planets spin around the run but uranus rolls around it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's interesting. Did you know that Jupiter's moon Ganymede would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i did not, there is a planet 455 light-years away that might have the building blocks of life<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's amazing! As long as it's not the planet where shards of glass rain sideways at 4500 mph!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not to mention on that same planet the temperature is 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That definitely sounds like Hell to me!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Lets talk about Luke Skywalker next. He is played by Mark Hamill and was originally written as a woman.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's interesting. I want to book an overnight stay at his boyhood home!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would also want to, it only cost $10 but its in Tunisia<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be an amazing stay.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They kept the relationship of Luke and Vader a secret throughout the filming. The cast and crew did not know the entire time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That had to have helped the suspense. Did you know the original lightsaber prop is inside the International Space Station, and was flown by sts-120 in August 2007?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not. They hid the secret from the cast and crew and gave them a fake script where it said obi-wan killed his father.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, what a great scheme! In 1981, Star Wars: A New Hope was dramatized and turned into a 5-hour long radio broadcast. I'd like to listen to that!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would also. Lets talk about earth next. its sad to think that more then 80 percent of the earths forest are already gone<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is awful. We're destroying this planet inch by inch in the short time we've been here. If the earth's entire history was viewed as a 24 hour period, humans would only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The earth will be pretty much helium-free by the end of the 21st century, I wonder what happens then.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No more balloons.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's one thing I guess. There is an appointed ambassador to extraterrestrials just in case they want to say hi<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's cool, I wonder if that was the inspiration for Space Force?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe. The earth was formed more then 4.5 billions years ago. It was nice talking to you .<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Good Morning! The weekend is very near. Have you got any plans?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good morning! No I don't as yet. I'd like to get out and see some stars some night soon. I don't have a telescope that is all the powerful though. I imagine mine is more like Galileo's telescope. Do you have plans?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not so much yet. My brother is getting married though! so there's that! I am trying to find the right gift for them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Congratulations! Have you considered wine for a gift? I've heard that California chardonnays are very good for challenging perceptions of what wine should taste like.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
My brother and I are not much of drinkers. I do know that wines can have more alcohol content than beer though. like average 14.3%? I feel like we can make an exception on drinking this occasion though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think you can. Some wines go good with food. There is a wine, La Cabotte Colline Cotes-du-Rhone Blanc that goes good with seafood.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have heard of white wine pairing good with seafood, but honestly I'm not sure what food they're going to have. I think maybe pasta or steak?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds good. I've heard that red wines go good with beef. I think there is a wine out of Tierra de Castilla, Spain that is said to be a good partner for meat and pasta dishes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I might just go with that option. I've always thought of wine to be high-end and expensive but at $18 a bottle its pretty reasonable.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it definitely is reasonable and with so many wines out there nowadays price is probably no longer an issue. I mean, the bottle I was telling you about comes from Spain!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like to hear some critics reviews on some wines because of the way they describe the taste of the drinks.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know what you mean. They make them sound beautiful and perfect. I know of one that is described to have the aroma of white flowers and have an appealing waxy texture. I am not sure how wax can be appealing however.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It sounds like they ate wax sometime in their lives! There's one I enjoyed hearing that said they 'whack you in the face with an oak two by four'<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hahaha! I wonder what that means! I've heard of one that is described to be racy. I didn't know wine could be racy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
For the 14th, I'd definitely recommend a Smith-Madrone chardonnay. Critiques say it wraps you in a lovingly warm blanket.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That does sound nice. Wines sound romantic and such until you learn where you can buy them at. Some wines are available at a store called the Wine Outlet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It sounds so convenient and easy to decide where to get them from now too. I know they can be ordered online too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've heard that too. It does make it convenient, especially since so many wines are made all of the world such as In Puglia, Italy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
All these wines from europe sound and im sure theyre good. I think I'd rather support some from USA though. I know california has a few good ones.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Definitely. Napa Valley California is known for wine, particularly chardonnays like the Smith-Madrone chardonnay.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I feel like the west coast is where to go. California and Oregon both seem to have the better reviews.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
I was reading a factual section about Luke Skywalker and found it very interesting that his role was initially written as a girl<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I had no idea! I also read that the original light saber that he used is in the space station.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
thats some cool stuff. It seems to be an extremely well-liked franchise, I personally really like how the writers changed up the script so the secret of darth vader being Luke's father wouldn't be leaked<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never knew that there was a radio broadcast of the film in 1981. It would be fun to listen to as a podcast now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Agreed! though 5 hours is a little long of my liking lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I knew that luke was a twin to Princess Leia but i can't keep up with the other relatives and relationships. I would have to binge watch all of the movies.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that's going to take you a few days to do! It's cool how scientists have discovered a planters that has the "building blocks of life". Maybe the star wars franchise depicts what the entire universe would look like in a few hundred years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be amazing. The UN made an ambassador of extraterrestrials incase we ever make contact with any. Ha!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ahaha very true. The UN definitely knows something that the rest of us don't. Seems like an odd job to have, how would you even have the qualifications for something like that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And are they really paid? Who knows? Are you interested in Earth science? Did you know that when the earth was first formed, a day was only 5 and half hours long?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
how would you even communicate with "aliens", i doubt they would speak a recognizable language lol if they already created this positions maybe we'll have contact with extraterrestrials sooner than we thought. If they came to earth do you think it'd be a friendly visit? and yes I am! so cool!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have watch enough science fiction movies. It seems that other beings would be more advanced than we are.We seem to not be able to solve global warming. The earth is 71% water and I am afraid the polar ice caps are melting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah thats a common theme i noticed in movies too! They're much more advanced and powerful, yet humans always seem to win the battle some way. But maybe aliens would be chill and would want peace with humans. You're so right, and to think that there are people who don't believe in global warming<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I also read that 80 % of the earths forests have already been destroyed. Very sad<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Seems like we're destroying Earth very quickly. the article mentioned that human's existence would represent 1 minute and 17 seconds in comparison to earth's entire history. Yet already we've done so much damage<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
We really do have an amazing planet in that it sustains life but there are so many planets in the universe. I wonder how uranus rolls around the sun rather than spins?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Honestly to think about how any of this exists is amazing. have you read that there's a planet with pieces of glass that perpetuate sideways at 4500mph? that almost sounds made up<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is not something I have never heard. The fact that building blocks of life we detected 455 light years away is difficult to fathom.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe there's a planet in our universe that also has living life forms. It's interesting how Venus doesn't title so therefore it has no seasons<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Also I had known that Jupiter had moons but that one of them would be considered a planet if it rotated around the sun is pretty cool.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Funny how the definition of "planets" is controversial and how Pluto is technically no longer considered as one<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That involves a lot of updating of text books!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess this is just the natural progression of science. definitions will change and we'll continue to discover new things<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It has been nice chatting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes! enjoy the rest of the day!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thanks!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
thanks!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi how are you? i think we are back online. Lets talk about the earth, shall we?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I live on it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, it is a great place to live! I have lived here my entire life.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
LOL, did you know that the earth will be helium free by the end of the 21st century?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder why that is. where does helium come from and where does it go? we will have to find a solution to that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not actually sure. I'm actually not even sure if that is true.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, sometimes the facts that i encounter in this vicinity of the internet seem a little less than factish.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yup, I can't disagree there. Did you know the UN already has an ambassador to aliens?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder who decided that was necessary. and how much of the budget goes to cover that job. how do i get that job?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not sure. It sounds sort of iffy to me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, i guess they need a background in science, and maybe a ton of political connections. LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hilarious, yeah, who knows? Or maybe they are just some weirdo?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. "Hey, that guy is a nutter, but we cant fire him. Alien ambassador? Yeah, he will buy that. give him that job."<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
BINGO! Did you know that when the earth was first formed, a day was only 5.5 hours long?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is amazing. soon the day will be quite long, if humans are still around. the 20 hour work day. hm.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Exactly, I already do a 20 hour work day. LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, one of the privileges of modern life LOL. Our time on this earth is short, but our work day is not.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Correct. Did you see the new Wonder Woman movie?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I havent seen it. but i have heard good things. i think that gal gadot is great casting. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I haven't seen it either. Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have a good evening! lets hope that the server stays up!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hey there, do you like movies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do. I actually saw 50 Shades of Grey with a friend for Valentine's Day in IMAX.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that was a huge box office hit. do you know who is the highest all time box star?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, who is it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
tom hanks, and I am not surprised he is a good actor<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He is very likable and doesn't take on bad roles, so he should be one of the top earners, even though less skilled actors can manage to do pretty well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is very true. his movies seem to always have a good morale about them<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you think he would have brought anything to the table in an action film like Wonder Woman?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
oh for sure, wonder woman is the highest grossing superhero origin movie<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'd like to see more female-led movies top the box office, how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
me too. I am excited and looking forward to wonder woman 2<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it's interesting that the prequels that were released as follow-ups to the Original Star Wars weren't as profitable<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know, I guess everyone just really loved the trilogy<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm glad there won't be another trilogy of 50 Shades of Garbage movies haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh yes, no thank you, I do not see the point of that. did you know that Gal Gadot who plays wonder woman served in the israeli defense forces?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's always nice to see someone bring some street cred to their art by having real life experience, right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
of course. and she did not even know she was auditioning for wonder woman<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's pretty crazy! Some say the Dakota Johnson got her role in 50 Shades through nepotism, but she actually ended up carrying the films.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You never know I guess what goes on behind the curtains<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, especially on set. Apparently the author of the books and the director of the movie could not agree on a common vision for 50 Shades as a film.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that must have been tough and taken time to figure out. it was nice chatting with you<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
DO you follow box office movies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I do. Do you know who is the star of box office?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes it is Tom Hanks with over $8.5 billion overall<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is awesome. Did you know Disney considered closing their studio once?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes after Sleeping Beauty totally flopped in box office<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I am glad they kept going though, they have made some awesome movies<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True . Do you know how much Trojan cost to make?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes it was a staggering $15 million and made only over $309<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That was a huge loss on behalf of the studio, sadly<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah. Did you see WOnder Woman?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did and I really loved it, it was great, and you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes me too. It is the highest grossing origin superhero movie<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes and also the highest grossing WWII movie too<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. And also one of the three top grossing with a female lead<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice. Did you know Gal Gadot was in the Israeli defense forces<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
So cool. When she was auditioning she did not know it was for wonder woman<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes she thought it was for catwoman instead<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. Did you know the wonder woman was first introduced as a secretary?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes that was back in 1941 but she has made her way through now<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah. It was nice chatting with you<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Same here and have a good one<end_of_turn>

Hi, do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yah i like baseball.. what abt u?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love baseball. Did you know baseball managers wear uniforms because they can technically play if needed?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ohh nice.. A 3 million $ worth of 1900s baseball cards in his baseball games played each yr<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that's crazy. Kickball is also called soccer-baseball in Canada.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
hmm its also crazy.. what abt shoe?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like shoes. Do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i love shoe.. i have 30 pairs of shoe..<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that's a lot of shoes. Marbury promoted a line of shoes that retailed at $15.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
which shoe brand u like?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love Nike. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i like adidas<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Adidas is good too. Professional ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of ballet shoes per week.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
hmm yah.. 5000 yr old shoe perform better than modern shoes<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's pretty crazy. You would think shoes would have gotten better over time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
what abt Target?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
My wife likes to shop at Target. I'm not a huge fan. I think they have expensive products.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yah i m also think that way..<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. I saw Best Buy and Target will price match Amazon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think walmart is littlely low price to compare Target<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. Well, it was great chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am good. How are you? Do you like baseball? Have you ever heard of their unwritten rules such as if you hit one of our we'll hit one of yours?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well, Yes and yes. I do not like the unwritten rules. Seems too unfun... Do you like them?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Some of them seem more like common sense to me. I mean, not bringing a pet to the batting cage for one makes sense.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That one does make sense. Mine are more like, pimp your HR trot. Go ahead. Ill be better next time...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like the unwritten rule of don't eat baked beans before a double header and don't order out for sushi during a rain delay.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I understand the baked beans, that's common courtesy... But what's wrong with sushi?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know, maybe they think the guy will get sick or something. The players do do some running to bases and maybe they think that'll slow them down.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Makes sense. I do hate the rule about stealing when you are down or trying a bunt when you are getting no-hit.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
What does the rule say about those?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Don't do those things. If you are down big, you shouldn't steal. If you have not gotten a hit, you shouldn't bunt.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't think I like those either. It would seem to me you would want to steal and try to make some runs. Hey did you know that a team will get three bases if the opposing team catches a ball in their hat?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know a ton about baseball but had no idea that is a rule. Thanks for the knowledge!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've watched my fair share of games and never knew that till recently myself! I just thought of some more common sense rules though. How about don't drop a gum wrapper in the dug out?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Or be hygienic and don't spit seeds all over the dug out. So gross. Or chew tabacco!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't think there's much chance of this one: don't throw an Eephus pitch to anyone named Eephus.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Who the hell knows someone names Eephus let alone someone named Eephus in the MLB???<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know, right?! Some of these rules are so odd! Some I don't understand like don't throw a four seam fastball to a five tool player.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They need to write these down because I am getting confused...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They really do but these are the "unwritten" ones. I guess you're supposed to just know. Not wearing a batting glove to brunch is one I would just know.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi how are you? do you like baseball?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, I think it is fun to learn about. I don't understand why the managers can also be players. That is sort of odd.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that must date back to the day when one of the players was chosen to manage as well. like an onfield boss or leader.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh okay, that makes more sense for sure. The rules can be outdated sometimes, I think. I remember a story about a man who found old baseball cards in his grandpas attic. Being outdated is a good thing then.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes, those old cards would be worth a lot to someone. i would sell some of them and keep the rest as an investment.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, the man found out that they were worth 3 million dollars, in fact.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is wonderful chunk of change! more that you could make just by chatting online with someone, i think LOL Would you sell the cards?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I think I would too. As soon as I hired a police escort to the bank. Baseball is so popular in Japan, did you know that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes, i have been to games there. the fans are different, but just as enthusiastic. i recommend going.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, neat what a fun experience. Yeah I learned that the fans in Japan just can't believe that Americans consider it a passtime.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes, they are not aware of how big stuff outside of Japan is. they think that 7-11 started in Japan. strange. but now many japanese players are in the MLB><end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh wow, what a trip. I think its neat how pro athletes give things and money to causes. For instance some NFL player leave their shoes on the field n order to bring awareness to homelessness.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes, that is a great way to raise awareness. i wish more athletes did things like that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me too, it make a real difference. I am a big fan of Target too, lol. I guess just because they price match and I like to shop.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i havent gone there much. it looks like a clean, safe walmart. i guess it is good that they price match.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, they have all sorts of thing but havent sold tobacco since 1996.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah, i thought that was strange. there is money in cigs, and people buy them. i guess they felt it was a bad way to make money.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I agree to let people buy and sell what they want to we are free here, its nice. I think they sell ballet shoes there too and I know my daughter goes through 4 pairs a week as a professional ballet dancer.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would probably go through 10 pairs. I would not be any good as a ballerina. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
HA, yeah me too.. I need to find some slippers at Target. They should have a ton available.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Slippers? Ok. I did not know that. Have a great day!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Slippers are good for watching baseball games on tv. I need to catch up on that New York Giants game today. They beat the Dodgers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What? Football and baseball? I dont get it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I don't know why they named them the same either. Good chatting with ya and have a great rest of your day watching all sports, like me.<end_of_turn>

Hi do you have an Android or an iPhone?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi there, I have an iPhone and you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice me too. Did you know women are more likely to own one than men?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder why though. Have you heard of the game Send me to heaven?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have , that is the game where people throw their phones as high as they can<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah and that is why Apple had to get in between and ban the game. Pretty stupid one<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah agree. When the iPhone came out Jobs has to have identical ones with him as they kept crashing during the reveal<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is pretty cool. Microsoft held a funeral for the iPhone when they revealed theirs<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that did not go very well because the iPhone sales have sky rocketed<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True. Do you listen to the radio?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do sometimes, I listen to Pandora and you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me too, it is a good one. They have a revenue of #274 million but their net income is negative<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is strange to me. They now are streaming comedy also<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah they are branching it seems. Did you know Swift removed her music from there?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Actually she removed it from Spotify because she does not believe it should be free but kept it in Pandora<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right, not sure if that worked well for her though. Aloe Blacc has 168 million streams in Pandora but only got $12 000<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
THat is nothing for those millions. Do you play video games?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I used to play Nintendo until it was discontinued in Japan on 2003.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. Did you know it only has 54 colors?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow only 54 ? Pretty awesome for all the fun that it provided us with<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Exactly. Do you know who Bill Nye is?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is the science guy, I really liked his show<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi there do you have an iPhone or an Android?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, I have an iPhone. Do you know when the first one was released?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that was back on 2007, seems so long ago now<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know it sure does. Among users, women are more likely to own one than men<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh cool fact. Microsoft in fact held a funeral to mark the death of the iPhone when they launched theirs<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that did not work very well because the iPhone has had tremendous sales<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Exactly. Have you heard of the game send me to heaven?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did, and Apple banned it because people were supposed to throw the phones as high as possible and risked damaging them<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is so stupid. When Steve Jobs presented it first he has identical ones hidden because they kept crashing<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it kept running our of ram and that is why it crashed. Those days are over though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They sure are. Do you listen to the radio much?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I listen to Pandora Radio. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes me too. Their net income is $-16 million and the revenue is $274 million<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that is so strange. Now they are streaming stand up comedy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is nice they are diversifying their stream. When Swift removed her music from iTunes she still kept it in Pandora<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe that means more of her fans moving over to Pandora, so that is good revenue right there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is true. Have you ever played Nintendo?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have actually. Did you know it only had 54 colors?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that is it? Too bad it got discontinued in Japan in 2003 though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is true, I have some fond memories of it. Do you know who Bill Nye is?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah he is the science guy who got his break by winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha yeah that is pretty cool. Nice chat.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you think electronic devices are having a negative impact on families?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think they have some negative impact but they also do a lot of good. In my opinion the benefits outweigh the negative aspects.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you think it's important to use parental controls?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
To an extent, but just to keep harmful stuff that they would be accidentally be exposed to. if I didnt feel my child was mature enough to handle having electronic devices then I would just not let them have them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, raising kids in the digital age can be tricky, and it is important to encourage them to develop 21st century skills for potential future STEM careers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is true. I think kids are growing up a lot differently than i did. I think it will actually make them smarter because whatever they want to know they can learn it right now. If they want to learn rocket science they can start to learn it on the internet today. It wasnt like that when I was a kid.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Some people think that screen time should be managed according to content more than limits, such as an ability for parents to switch between educational and entertainment apps.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it just depends on the kid. you're not going to get a kid that doesnt care about learning new things to learn new things by trying to make them do it. I mean if all they want to do is facebook with their friends all day then you might have to take the phone away, but I dont think forcing them to read a book or try to learn something will work.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
This is an area that probably still needs a lot of collaboration between parents and technology companies in order to develop appropriate tools.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree with you there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have an iPhone that my kids like to steal from me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats funny. Heres another funny one. Did you hear about the send me to heaven game for iphone.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did! I wonder if anyone really ever played that! Would not want my kids to play that with my phone!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No wonder Iphone disabled the app for ecouraging actions that could damage device huh. Lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, you're right! iPhones have come a long way. When Steve Jobs first presented them he had to switch between two iPhones because they would run out of ram and crash.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard that microsoft held a funeral for the iphone when they came out with their first device.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha, too bad it did not work! iPhone seems healthier than ever!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have only had one Iphone before. It was an Iphone 4. I didn't really like it as well as android.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you play games on your phone? I don't really though I used to like to play Nintendo.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not really anymore. I used to play a few but they all got old. Haven't found any I like yet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The NES was finally discontinued in September 2003 in Japan. I really liked playing mine!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, are you a tech person?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello, somewhat, I enjoy all the advantages!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too. I want to know so much more and be better but alas, I cannot.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, Its very exciting on all the new stuff that will be coming out!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I was surprised to find out that women own more iphones than men.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really, I didn't know that! That surprises me, I thought it would be about equal. Iphone's have 75 elements in them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
75??? Huh... I feel like iphones are older than 12 years. They came out in 2007?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did too. Did you know Apple's app store has 2.2 million applications available?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's a ton! I wonder how many are actually active as in kept up or updated? How much egg does Microsoft have on it's face for holding a funeral for the iphone?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
lol, yes, That was since January 2017. I love my Iphone its with me most of the day, like everyone else.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ditto! I am reading Steve Jobs' biography and man he was a genius but didn't seem very nice.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
lol, I have heard that before. I heard alot of those guys don't want their kids on the phones and ipads.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I dont either and I am pretty sure I am addicted to the dopamine hit I get everytime I open my phone.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True, Do you listen to Pandora? I see they have a cap on how much you can listen for free.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do not any more. I hit that cap and then switched to spotify where I pay for the premium service. Do you like pandora?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I too use spotify! I like it better. Did you know that the NFL is legally considered entertainment than a sport like the WWE.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really. I had no idea. I wonder why that is?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Must be for legal reasons. I was surprised as well. Who knew? I would say the Iphone holds alot of entertainment!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
So did nintendo. They only had 54 colors!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I remember that! I didn't realize it had only those few colors. I think I still have it somewhere? lol Good chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ditto. Have a great day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hey my friend do you like star wars?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Of course! Chewbacca is my favorite!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes he's awesome! he's Han Solo's best friend and I always wanted Chewbacca as my friend!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know that various wild animals were used to make his voice?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
oh wow I didn't know that, also didn't know that he has a wife and 2 sons, weird!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Chewbacca does?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yup he does haha, also there is a fan theory that Chewy and R2D2 are actually secret rebel agents<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Now come on... that's just crazy!!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya I know, very screwy, pretty funny that in real life there is a bat species called the chewbacca bat haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Now i definitely never heard that one before... wonder if it looks like chewie?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya I want to have a pet bat now! I like that the same actor has appeared as Chewy in all the movies, his name is Peter Mayhew<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, i did know that and he's like 7 foot 6 inches i believe<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yup the dude is huge, do you have Netflix btw?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes i do! of course :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
oh haha I don't have it, I just watch youtube, but ya can't believe blockbuster had the chance to buy them for only 50 million!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i know... isn't that crazy! Now there's only one blockbuster store left in the world and it's in alaska<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya that is sad, and also Netflix is worth like 2 billion, thats a crazy improvement in valuation!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
true... but they are so responsible for the streaming movie industry being so huge!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yup that is true! did you hear the story of how netflix got started?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
actually yes... how he tired of late fees and after a... what... like 40 dollar late fee started netfilx?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha yup that's all it took, Reed hasting got that late fee for Apollo 13 and changed history haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep... great chat... have a good one!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi, do you like netflix?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello! I'm a big fan and have had it for years. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes me too, I have an account. Did you know blockbuster too?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I used to go to blockbuster until we started using Netflix. Can you believe that Netflix tried to get Blockbuster to use it's online service and Blockbuster flat out refused?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah and they mad a bad business decision not buying netflix when they could<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Absolutely. It's so convenient and Blockbuster really missed that. I wish I could get hired as a "tagger" to watch Netflix all the time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too seems like such a sweet gig for sure. Did you know hot netflix got started?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not sure I do. I'm anxious to hear how.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Reed Hastings had to play a late fee for a rented vhs and got tired of it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
LOL. When I get a late fee I just end up having to pay for it. What's amazing is that Netflix even managed to secure viewing rights for a number of Star Wars movies. Are you a fan of that franchise?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am for sure. Well and now netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in north america<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm sure I'll be adding to those bandwidth #s when I start watching those Star Wars films. Did you know it's actually in the Guinness World Records for it's film merchandising?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that is amazing. do you know Isaac requested that he be a native of planey yavin 4?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's so cool. I love those types of things. For instance, the prequel "Obi Wan", Ewan McGregor, has a brother who is a pilot and has the call sign "Obi Two!"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice one. Did you know it was the first major movie dubbed in Navajo?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that and it's amazing the influence of that movie. I guess famed director James Cameron was a truck driver and after watching Star Wars decided he was interested in film and quit his job.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah there you go. Lucas' wife won an academy award , do you know what for?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really? I am curious to know more about that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
She made changes to the original idea of the star wars and that is how she won<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting! I wonder if she had any suggestions about the character Chewbacca. I'm guessing she didn't or he would likely have got a medal at the end of Star Wars!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I bet. Back to Netflix, did you know they spend more money on postage than bandwidth?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
What is interesting about that is I was a member back when they sent DVDs to your home. I didn't realize that postage would still be a big thing for them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah go figure. nice chat.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hello do you like chewbacca from star wars?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello. I love Chewie!! I think it's awesome that MTV gave him a lifetime achievement award.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats awesome! Well deserved too, he has done a lot for the galaxy! lol I recently learned theres a species of bat called chebacca lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Is there really? That is so cool. We were at the Krewe of Chewbacchus parade last year. They really nailed his voice, I don't know if they used recordings of wild animals or not, but they were awesome.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats awesome! Some star wars fans think chewie and r2d2 are rebel agents lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
lol. Of course, that makes a lot of sense, since Chewie and Han are so close.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I never knew that chewie has a wife and 2 sons! Hes a family man lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that either. Peter Mayhew is an amazing actor, and it was a long time before I realized he played Chewie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I never knew him until star wars, what else has he been in?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He was in Dark Towers, back in the 80's and he also voices an animated series, I forget which one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh I see, I guess i never seen those. Have you seen the newer star wars movies? what do you think?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
My favorite of the new ones, is Rogue One. I love that movie. I'm glad it's finally on Netflix, I'm getting tired of watching the fireplace when I can't sleep.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I really liked that one Rogue one, so I have a Nissan Rogue, and I named it Jyn lol Netflix is great, watching anything good ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
lol. I really don't watch much of it, my kids are fond of their original program, The Santa Clarita Diet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh I actually like that too, its really funny. I love the relationship between the parents, they are so supportive lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not a fan of Drew Barrymoore, but she is great in that. I've always wondered how you get a job as a tagger for the company. I can watch t.v. all day long, if I have too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Whats a tagger?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
People who are paid to watch Netflix, and tag content. Kinda like they do on Instagram. Have you seen Lilyhammer? I heard it was good.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I never knew that, that is awesome! I also want that job lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I also want the job of monitoring illegal downloads in Europe, so I can tell Netflix which shows to purchase.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
hahaha nice! Its been great chatting with you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Did you know horror movies were originally inspired by literature?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think classic authors like Poe, Bram Stoker, and Mary Shelley inspired the genre.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Speaking of horror films, the movie 'Halloween' made $33.3 million at the box office last October. That's crazy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is, I think it is really hard to make good horror movies, do you like Stephen King?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do. Do you know the first movie King was ever scared by was Bambi?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is hilarious! I wonder why he would say that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I feel so happy for Jamie Lee Curtis for the success of Halloween<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I would say that she is the face of that franchise for sure.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Researchers found that out of 1,100 films from 2007 to 2017, only 30% of the main characters were women<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is very low, I would figure there would be more.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard that Halloween is now the second-biggest opening ever for an R-rated horror movie. Do you know what's first?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That I don't know, maybe one of the recent ones. I thought the Shining was good, did you ever see that one?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I loved it. The boy from The Shining, Danny, actually didn't know he was in a horror movie until later on.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's what I heard! That is too funny, I wonder what kind of movie he thought he was doing?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess he thought he was making a drama film. Genres can overlap with each other so maybe it is difficult.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is definitely true. Do you know what the thing is called that makes all those metallic sounds in horror movies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They're made by an instrument called a waterphone.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good call! Yeah I wonder if that is the only thing they are used for, like more of a prop just for movies.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I was wondering the same. With how much money horror films make, it probably isn't needed for anything else.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah they probably just have them waiting in the studio for it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I just remembered that Silence of the Lambs made $270 million at the box office when it came out. That movie must've been first ahead of Halloween.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Holy cow that is a ton of money. Nice talking with you, i hope you have a good night.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey have you ever seen the movie Halloween? Or even the newest one with Jamie Lee Curtis<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have not. I like her. But I don't really like horror films. Have you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I saw the original one but I didn't see the newest one, my friend side and said it was really bad so I wanted to see your opinion<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ok, I do like SOME horror, but I usually pick and choose. I liked The Shining, The Omen, The Exorcist. Rosemary's Baby. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah those are all good movies. I also liked Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street. The new Halloween note took in about $89 in only 3 days, so it was definitely popular<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I haven't seen those. I think that remakes are risky. The comparisons are inevitable.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep it's always hard to beat the original. And yes the new Halloween movie is actually being released on the 40th anniversary of the release of the first one<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would rather watch the original. It probably has charm. The new one is probably too slick.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I think the original is going to be the best. Did you know that Stephen King actually thinks that the movie Bambi should be a horror movie?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He was traumatized as a child. That movie did have death, so it could be scary. Anyway, he turned his trauma into a career.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well that's really good for him! Do you think that horror movies actually burn almost 200 calories per movie? If so I should watch more to lose weight LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if the effect wears off. No surprise, no tension. I would rather exercise. By the way, do you like horses?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I don't like horses I'm actually allergic to them LOL and apparently so is Clint Eastwood<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have never ridden a horse. I would like to. Is it hard? I figure you have to take lessons or something.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah you do have to learn, it's actually very uncomfortable even in a saddle, I think it's cool that Dalmatians were used with firehouses in order to calm the horses back before fire trucks<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've heard that the dogs were deaf. I wonder if that's true.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think some Dalmatians are born deaf but not all of them are, what do you think about the high school students who rode horses to school? The high school had a no vehicle policy at the time, and so they rode horses instead lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think they were cheeky for doing so, but I admire their chutzpah.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep I can admire that, I would never have done that as a kid haha. It's interesting that Clint Eastwood was not always allergic to horses but developed it once he hit midlife<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't think I have an allergy to them. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well don't spend too much time around horses just in case you develop a allergy to them LOL I wish I didn't have the allergy<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you have children?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I do not, how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do and he seems to be hitting puberty. Moody tween all the time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ah I assume that is causing some difficultly. Is there anything in particular he is stubborn on?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He is a great kid, until he plays Fortnite. Something about that game gets him all jacked up and he acts like a different kid.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There have been a lot of studies on video games and it's effect on children. The consensus always seems to be that they use it as an outlet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think listening to the way the other people talk and act affects him. He's usually mild and polite, but when he plays with them, he gets very hyper and surly. I also think it's the change in hormones.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That could very well be the case. Hormones seem to do something to susceptibility, at least it was for me as a teen.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He's also at the awkward, trying to figure out who he is, stage. It's fun to really watch his personality develop.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's such a weird place to be in the world. They are starting to take on more adult responsibilities but at the same time are still kids in a lot of ways.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Right! He is such a little kid about some things, but he's starting to look at girls differently and it's a weird situation to be in. He used to tell me everything, but not so much anymore.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wanting to have some secrets its about right developmentally speaking. Just feeling out some small forms of independence.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
His voice has also started to change. He is taking after his father with a super low, bass filled voice. It's crazy to hear that low deep voice come out of a kid! I'm wondering what else we are going to be in store for as he changes?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Has he already been through the outgrowing every bit of clothing stage?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He's growing like he's getting paid for it! Every weekend we are going through his clothes and getting rid of what is too small! Especially pants and long sleeve shirts, he has long legs and arms.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ugh, that has got to be the worst. Even with standard clothing it's got to be expensive and then occasions come up where you need things like suits and you know odds are they are only going to wear it once.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
We are sticking with a lot of khaki pants and nice dress shirts. If he has to have a suit, we'll have to buy it a couple of days before the event, there's no other way to deal with it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is a really smart plan. Forget even trying to tailor it, it will never be worth the cost and time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree totally, tailoring is not worth it at all. I've been lucky with consignments and things so far, but the more he grows and the older he gets, I can't do that as much anymore. I just hope that puberty won't be terribly long as far as the growing is concerned.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know thrift store typically had a lot of nicer things for women but you're right the men's selections seems to be lacking. It seems like once a man is fully grown and gets a good suit they never let it go<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Absolutely, my husband has had the same sport's coat for years!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm a little envious, seems like women are expected to swap out a new dress for each even.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, women definitely get the short end of the stick as far as clothing goes!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you have kids that are around 10 or past that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have teens, thankfully both went through puberty without turning into monsters.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've have 3 kids that are adults now. I don't remember this "monster" thing. I think I'm reading the exploits of a snowflake millennial.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Mine are gen Z, (early 2000), so I don't have any experience with the 90's millennials. Did you know Apple had a clothing line in the 90's?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I did. If this parent need a box of wine for 10 year olds, he/she is in for a big surprise.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Meh, it's a blog. They tend to exaggerate for social media. I would love to go to the unclaimed luggage store in Alabama. Maybe I could find mine from several years ago.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah but I don't like it when people make it look like kids are a huge problem even if it's for their own attention. Yeah, I probably have luggage somewhere in ATL.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
If anything, all that does is show your lack of parenting skills...and alcohol problem.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, like that's a good solution -- getting lit. Funny, polo shirts should actually be called tennis shirts because a tennis player invented them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I prefer the office attire of Hawaii. Suits and ties are too stifling in that heat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Amen to that. Or maybe a colorful wardrobe full of Pilgrim clothes? The Pilgrims got a bad rap for always wearing black. Not true...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like the uniform at Billy Mays' funeral. Blue shirts and khaki pants were what the pallbearers were wearing. May as well be comfortable.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, that's cool. It's going to be OK to wear flip-flops at mine. I'm a noted tie-hater...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Are you familiar with the theory that the universe is one giant hologram?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I'm an engineer that wishes he was and astrophysicist. It's also wild that there may be a region of space that's pulling galaxy's outside the observable universe.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it's fascinating that there are stars cold enough to touch.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Does that mean cold fusion is for real? Some think that there is only one electron in the universe. That one hell of an electron.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it might be, makes you wonder what needs to be revisited in space, or at least give Tycho Brahe & Johannes Kepler a read.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Huge fans of them as I am of Newton. We lost most of the universe recently in that we don't know what dark matter and dark energy is - it is most of the universe and we can't see it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Newton built upon Copernicus' works. I need to revisit all of them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I admire their accomplishments. Thanks, you've been a great chat partner!<end_of_turn>

hi how are you? Do you use youtube?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, daily, how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I use it a lot. i listen to old songs and jazz albums. what do you tube on YouTube?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I mostly watch videos about investing and finance<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is great! a chance to study and learn. i think youtube is a great learning tool!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yeah, its a great learning tool for sure. Which old songs do you like the most on youtube? 60's 70's 80's 90's?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
70s and 80s, though jazz from the 60s. what about you? what music would you listen to?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I grew up in the 70's and 80's and I still listen to the music from those decades.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, great pop and rocks tunes. I enjoy taking YouTube back on a tour of the past.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yeah I like watching the old comics from that era also. They were way more free then and didnt need to be so PC.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, they could take more risks, but i guess they were risks at the time. i dont like censorship. i would like youtube to put up warnings but leave the content there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah seems like today everyone is so easily offended.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, well, there is power in sanctimony. WHAT DID YOU SAY??? Im offended!!! LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yeah, I reckon it pays to be a victim. I did not know that police have their own youtube called bluetube<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess they trade tips on Blutube? I would love to watch.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yeah probably some good ones on blutube.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
the latest weapons, armor, drugs, and vehicles. gangs and stuff. lots of fun. good for writing a screenplay.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have you tried Youtube music or TV? wondering what others think of it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I usually just listen to music on Youtube. i sometimes watch documentaries. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You too! have a good weekend<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have a good weekend too!<end_of_turn>

thanks<end_of_turn>

Hello. Did you know there is a violin made of stone, and it is actually playable?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Never heard of that. Wonder if it has 4 strings, like normal violins?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would imagine so. Larry (three stooges fame) also played, I guess he was very good.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Heard he burned an arm as a child, and violion lessons helped strengthen damaged nerves. Was he good?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
If WWI hadn't happened, I guess we would have found out, as he was headed to a music school<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I see. Same era: Einstein, already a famous physicist, also played violin exceptionally well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
My daughter has a poster of him above her bed, with the quote "The Greatest Scientists Are Artists As Well". She says its inspiration for both her art and music.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's great. Have you ever read or seen the film based on the 1902 A.E.W. Mason book, "The Four Feathers"?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have not. Is it the one that the judge tried to ban, due to featuring a black character?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good question. I don't know, but since much of the story is based in the Middle East during 1880's conflicts there, some Arab characters are featured. Could they have been called "moors" - or black?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure, as I've never read it. I'm more of a sci-fi fan, and love that Poe had a cyborg in one of his stories.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Edgar Allen, yes. Still re-read his "Cask of Amontilliado" story and the poem, "The Raven". Ahead of his time, that writer!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have you checked out the wiki that ranks all of the fictional characters according to their powers and abilities?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, but interesting feature. Did you know that powerful ruler (for real), Julius Caesar even wrote fiction?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard something about him writing about hercules. Have you read it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not Caesar's fan fiction. Hercules and Oedipus are main heroes in Greek epics; Caesar would have known about them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I haven't read much of that, I mainly read travel guides, as I travel a lot. I'm hoping to get to Macinac Island this summer, and bike around the island.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Understand that it is a lovely, slow-paced place. Try a horse-drawn carriage there! Have you, like Caesar, ever been to Greece, through Italy, to Germany or England - or elsewhere in Europe?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have been to Iceland, it's expensive as I had to travel by plane between towns.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
My son had a stop in Iceland on route to Australia. Wants to go back for a real visit. Understand they have no public rail service there. Too many volcanos and other impassable terrain??<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's a rough terrain, I would love to go back, and am trying to find a cheap flight to Japan (on Iceland Air) for a layover. Japans highways are toll, so it's expensive to travel there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, Americans would not accept tolls on all our highways, like the Japanese do. Heard to go across Japan you can expect to pay $300 or more...ouch!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is very expensive. Thanks for chatting with me, have a wonderful day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello - how are you today?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am great! So do you pay attention to politics at all?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't used to pay a lot of attention but I do now. The country is a crazy place lately.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. There hasn't been a US president who wasn't a rep or dem since 1853.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, I guess that doesn't surprise me lol. Did you know the use of RED and BLUE for each party color only began in 2000? Weird<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh wow I didn't know that. I saw that Ronald Reagan compaiged for democrats.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's odd, he wasn't a Democrat, interesting. i didn't know that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Very interesting I think. 15% of the tea party movement identify themselves as democrats.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting! I was watching a vlog on Youtube who was talking about how many people are not Democrats or Republicans. I agree in that because I don't identify as either.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know Fox News threatened to sue the Simpsons one time?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, wasn't that about trying to stop them from parodying the anti democratic agenda?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Possibly lol. Do you like YouTube?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love Youtube....I am always looking there or Google to do so many things!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I watch YouTube daily. YouTube is the second largest search engine on the internet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That doesn't surprise me. I didn't know this but YouTube operates as one of Googles subsidiaries ...Google bought Youtube for over a billion dollars!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that either. Netflix and YouTube make up half of the peak internet usage in North America.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, that is huge. I like how the police have their own youtube called blutube lol...pretty smart!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is very smart.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wish we would have had Google and Youtube back in my day it would have been so easy to research and get through school.Kids have no idea how easy having the internet is to help them through so much with info.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was great talking to you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello, do you like to travel?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes, i love to travel. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Awesome, yes I like to travel too. I wish we had those high speed buses that the dutch are making, it travels like 160 mph.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
it would indeed be a great pleasure to ride a bus like to work. it would save me so much time!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, and when you ride the bus you can get stuff done too, instead of driving.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes, i think that i would be way more productive on the dutch bus. i should move to holland.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, that would be better than moving to Japan, I guess it costs like $300 in tolls to cross the country.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, japan is far too expensive for most people. i think that it would be good to avoid japan and its expensive highways<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm going next Feb., so I will avoid driving there lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
you could take the train there. they have many trains that go around the country.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Awesome! Yeah, I like public transportation when traveling its fun.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes, it is a good way to learn about a country. public transportation is a cheap and convenient way to travel in a foreign land. i recommend it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The first king to travel around the world was the king of hawaii.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
he must have had a hankering to see the world and understand other peoples and cultures. i admire his sense of adventure and curiosity.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I wonder when he did that, I cant remember a time where Hawaii had a king lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it was King Kamehameha. he was the last king, i believe.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I see. I hear Iceland has no public rail service, most natives fly across the country.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that makes sense. iceland is very small and perhaps the terrain is not good for rail. planes could be very convenient.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hope its not expensive to fly if people have to constantly do it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes, they might have high speed buses too. that would be a hoot. LOL Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wonderful chat, thank you so much!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like the travel?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I love to travel! How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too, I am planning a trip right now for Brazil! I can't wait. Have you traveled out of the country?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I have traveled a lot! I even went to iceland last summer.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice, that is my future plan, I love the looks of that place. Is it true about their rail system not being there?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it is! I heard without cars, they use domestic flights to travel.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is interesting, it certainly helps people getting over their fear of flying lol. I wonder if it is because of the terrain<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not sure. But I do know it is very cheap to travel.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is awesome, at least they make it cheap. Have you been to mackinac island in MI?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I have not. I heard they don;t have vehicles.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard that too. That would be rough, but at least you would get in shape on vacation lol. Or ride horses.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very true, you would need a horse-drawn carriage or even a bike to get around.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be interesting. It would be more relaxing I think in my opinion. Maybe they will bring the bus from the Dutch that goes 160 mph!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if people get dizzy looking out of the window.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet, or fear for their lives as they are traveling in a bus going that fast<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True. Have you heard about the tolls in japan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have, there worse than Chicago's and I never thought that was possible. I don't know how bad they are though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard it costs more than $300 to travel across the country.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is expensive, wow! Probably worth it, but still! It was so nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was nice talking to you too. I am going to go look into some new places to travel too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too! Enjoy your day!<end_of_turn>

Hi! Have you ever had to deal with kids going through puberty?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It very difficult to handle. Mostly they playing games and not focused on studies.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. It can cause a lot of anxiety for a parent. Kids get very emotional at that age, and they will argue about anything, even what clothes they wear.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They need mobiles and want to spent the money in the unwanted things. Mostly they are uncomfortable with their studies and teacher. It is very very difficult to handle this situation. They need bike also without drinving license.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
How do you think parents should handle them when they are like this? It is sometimes hard to talk to them about it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
In the kid itself we must follow the rule and regulation, if they enter into puberty it is easy to handle them otherwise, the situation is very worst.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Discipline is a good idea. It can help them get used to behaving well even when they are going through puberty and feeling so many emotions.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Firstly, we want to be patience and talk to them very polite and spend time with them when ever we are free. while talking with them we make them comfortable.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a great idea. Teaching them that we care about them can help them feel like we understand them. Being polite will make us a good example for them too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They always copy all the habit from their parents only. They are real heroes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Parents who love their children and raise them right are heroes. It is not easy to deal with children when they are going through puberty, but we all have to do it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
We should try our best. All in the hands of god only.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Following the example of god is probably a good way to think about raising children. Patience and love will help both parents and kids get through it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. Love can change anything in the world. We must be patience too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think that it helps to see children grow up after you have cared for them. It feels like a reward to help them and then see them become wonderful adults.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Its our duty to make them good human and want to serve the society.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's true. Children are the future of society, so raising them to be good people will make the world a better place.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
In olden days, clothing is refers to cover the body from the sun rays and insects. But now days it was more fashionable.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Clothing is a good thing to talk to kids about too. I also love to shop for clothing for myself. I like comfortable clothes that look good the best.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You prefer online shopping or went to purchase ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like to go in person to purchase so I can try things on. I still like to look around online, though.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you have or have had kids in that challenging stage of puberty entering.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I do not have kids but my parents said that I was tough to deal with in this stage. I was not a well behaved kid. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have 3 adult kids. Only one was a real challenge. As a parent, it's easy to feel like a failure during this phase.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did they want all the newest clothing because when I was a kid I made my mom buy me really nice shirts.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
My daughter did, not so much with my sons. Sometimes when as a parent or husband, it's better just to walk of and regroup.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would make her buy me shirts that cost 100 or more. Did you know that Mark Zuckerburg the facebook Ceo, wear plain grey T-shirts that cost 300 or 400$<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's nuts. Mine cost less than $10. You want nice things for your kids but when it gets ridiculous, stand your ground and don't doubt yourself.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I really like nice clothing, clothing has always been something people love. Did you know that The greeks made asbestos clothing and it was as valuable as gold.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Sounds itchy... I think it's funny that Pilgrims wore colorful clothes, not just black. Stereotypes... I bet they didn't eat turkey all the time either.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It amazing how traditions get passed along, I even heard about an african tribe that wears victorian cloths because german occupiers they saw.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. It's also interesting that polo shirts were actually invented by a tennis player Lacoste nicknamed "the gator".<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I feel like people just follow others in their beliefs. Do you belive Isaac Newton and his law of Gravity?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm with Einstein in that it isn't a force like Newton says but rather the curvature of space.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you think the earth is moving and flying through space at 500k mph. I have heard new ideas about a motionless round earth with maybe even a dome. Did you know they say the universe makes sounds<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
We haven't had such ideas since Copernicus. I thought that was put to bed. People think what they want like the folks that think the universe is one big superhologram.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think our best scientist know less than 1 percent of what there is to know. Some say we all could just be inside of a black whole. I think there is another dimension, like when people take DMT<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That 1% may be a generous estimate. We've recently lost most of the universe with the unknowns of dark matter and energy. There is a theory that there is only one electron in the universe.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It would be crazy if there is parallel universe, some say there is a cold spot they think could be a link to this universe. Sometimes I think space is all made up. If we are spinning so fast how can the water stay still but that same force can not hold down a butterfly. seems like one big joke sometimes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. I wonder if somewhere some aliens are wearing polo shirts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think they are watching us at all times, those sneaky aliens. I wonder if when an alien goes through puberty it is as tough as us humans<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hee. I suspect that it is. You've been an excellent chat partner! Thanks.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you on this fine evening?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
hi I'm doing great how about you, did you know Julius Caesar would write fan fiction when he was young, It was about hercules haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm with George RR Martin on this issue. Fan fiction sucks. it is copyright violation. Someone should sue Julius Caesar!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha yes! Maybe hercules can prove he is real by suing! I guess Edgar allen poe has the title for oldest example of a cyborg in fiction<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hercules never understood copyright law! Poe wasn't perfect, but he knew sci fi.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha I didn't know that, what did he do?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He married a gal that was like 13 or something. I guess in his day that was not unusual but still. Probably to an author and alcoholic these were normal things.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ah I see well that is definitely weird, what I'm not surprised with is there is a wikipedia that ranks fictinoal characters, it does it according to their abilities, I'll tell you some people have a lot of time on their hands<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think that some people live for such things! They get notoriety from such endeavors, but no money. Can you believe that in the 1950s a judge tried to ban a science fiction comic because it featured a black character? That's an amazing judgement.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that is pretty bad for sure, what I want to see is the violin made of stone that you can actually play, I play the piano do you play any instruments<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to play the guitar, but I weren't any good. I would blow hard into it, but it never sounded quite right. Perhaps I should have tried the violin, but I mistook it for a form of violence.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha I like that, ya my uncle plays the violin but he says its really hard to learn, the piano isn't that bad in my opinion, it has a good amount of challenge but I think anyone can get pretty good with enough practice<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would like to think that I could be as good as Einstein. He was a musician, but he didn't really gain renown as one. I could do as well as him, don't you think?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ah I didn't know that, well I think you can do it! just make sure to use modern violins and not the million dollar stradivarius ones, modern ones sound better in blind tests<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would never be able to tell the difference. Perhaps Einstein could, but I couldn't. If Haydn wrote a competition with the two varieties of violin ar the end, could the audience tell the difference?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha good question, what is cool that Einstein said is that "the greatest scientists are artists as well"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
But then again, are the greatest artists scientists? Perhaps not. Or perhaps so. Perhaps I don't know. I want to hear a violin made out of stone, a piano made out of stone for the Flintstones.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha I like that, would you ride a bus that goes 160mph? they are making on in Denmark apparently<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The Danes are seditious, don't trust them! They lie! They eat too much butter! Anyhows, great chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha those lying butter eaters! great talking with you, stay away from japanese highways they are apparently all toll roads!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The pastries in Denmark are dangerously addictive!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes that is my dream, to be in denmark, going 160mph in a bus eating pastries!<end_of_turn>

Hi there. Do you enjoy to travel? I love visiting distant geographical locations!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I was actually in Paris last week. Do you travel? I was surprised there a website for people with couches to crash on, wish I knew it last week I had a long layover.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Whoa that's awesome! Did you eat crepes? I want to go to Iceland but it sounds like the public transport isn't great-will probably rent a car.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No crepes, I did have snails which I like. I've had a layover in Iceland, it looks like the moon. Flying it a lot of volcanic lava flows turned to rock. Did you know about that gnome stealing thing, take a picture, then return? That a lot of work.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha yeah I heard about that. Does sound like a lot of work. Did you fly any domestic flights in Iceland? That seems like a good way to get around there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, Iceland Air is cheapest to Sweden, I work there a couple times a year. I'm on the east coast so it's a quick flight though. Do you like fiction, a reader? That how I bide my time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Awesome lucky. Yeah fiction is entertaining. I like it because it is not based strictly on history or fact.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I'm not much on Science Fiction, more literary fiction. I didn't know Isaac Asimov coined "robotics" I have friends who love him and Sci Fi. What genre do you like?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh nice good genre. I like fiction as well. Edgar Allen Poe's first developed cyborg's in fiction which is pretty cool.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes and Poe developed the detective genre I read too. I read War and Peace, but the Smash Bros is 4 million words even longer? That would take some time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow. Is War and Peace good? I know Julius Caesar wrote fan fiction but I have never read his text.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I liked it but it's a complex novel. Yes, I read Caesar history of the Gallic Wars. Pretty interesting in light of France now. Do you like music, you see where the highest violin bow price sold for $182,000 wow, that quite expensive per pound.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You have read a lot I'm impressed. I love music and sometimes classical. Hard to believe a violin sold for that. Hopefully it wasn't the one made out of stone!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Gold and tortoiseshell i read, I feel sorry for the turtle. You like fiddle or violin more? Country or classic as the instrument is the same.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow. Interesting. I like the fiddle because I prefer country music. A famous scientist who played the violin was Albert Einstein.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting, complex man. Did you know they have to play and "break-in" a violin? That makes sense though interesting it changes the cellulose molecules in the body.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Kind of like a shoe? Very interesting. It is also good for the small muscles and nerves of the arms and hands. Just ask Larry Fine from the Three stooges!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That funny, yes, you like me must have a few years on you. My kids don't know who the Three Stoogies are. Have you traveled much? Back to that, you see where the airlines make the walk longer instead of baggage return quicker to cut complaints. That not good to me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I have lived in both Spain and Australia. I actually didn't hear about that. Typically airplane if is the most efficient method of travel when compared with everything else so I don't see why they make people walk longer.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice, my son went to school a summer in Spain. He loved it. I guess the exercise you get on the longer walk is good. Did you know they fly 10% slower to save fuel relative to the 60's, that would be fine but the food is worse than the 60's too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah good point. I remember the days when everyone got free meals and they were actually legit. Still given all that flying definitely beats train, boat, and bus travel! Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
