The error is in line 26 which has unbalanced parenthesis. About half my syntax errors are not in the line reported. Python kept looking for the missing parenthesis until the if statement forced it to give up.

A few suggestions:
Your indentation should be consistent. 4 spaces for each level is expected.

Lines should not exceed 80 characters in length. You shouldn't have to scroll sideways to see the end of a line.

s_nouns = ["A dude", "My mom", "The king", "Some guy",            "A cat with rabies", "A sloth", "Your homie",            "This cool guy my gardener met yesterday", "Superman"]

To randomly chose something from a list use random.choice().

1	choice(s_nouns) instead of s_nouns[randint(0, len(s_nouns))]

Join strings using join().

1	' '.join(('a', 'b', 'c')) instead of 'a' + ' ' + 'b' + ' ' + 'c'

i did all of that and tried to make the code better:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34

import random   import discord   TOKEN = ''   client = discord.Client()   @client.event async def on_message(message):     if message.author == client.user:         return       s_nouns = ["A dude", "My mom", "The king", "Some guy",            "A cat with rabies", "A sloth", "Your homie",            "This cool guy my gardener met yesterday", "Superman"]     s_verbs = ["eats", "kicks", "gives", "treats", "meets with",            "creates", "hacks", "configures", "spies on",            "retards", "meows on", "flees from", "tries to automate", "explodes"]     infinitives = ["to make a pie.", "for no apparent reason.",            "because the sky is green.", "for a disease.",            "to be able to make toast explode.", "to know more about archeology."]           messageresponse = random.choice(s_nouns, s_verbs, infinitives)       if message.content == 'hello':        response=(messageresponse)        await message.channel.send(response)   @client.event async def on_ready():  print('we in the mainframe')           client.run(TOKEN)

but now i am getting this error: Ignoring exception in on_message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/client.py", line 343, in _run_event

File "main.py", line 29, in on_message
messageresponse = random.choice(s_nouns,s_verbs,infinitives)
TypeError: choice() takes 2 positional arguments but 4 were given

i have no idea what this means

Just use interactive interpreter:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

+>>> import random +>>> help(random.choice) Help on method choice in module random:   choice(seq) method of random.Random instance     Choose a random element from a non-empty sequence.   +>>> random.choice(range(5)) 1 +>>> random.choice(range(5), range(6,9), range(7,10)) Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: choice() takes 2 positional arguments but 4 were given

In your original code row #30 you had true which should cause error.
