I’ve lost you? But we were meant to be together!

Meeting humans is intolerable, but my hope is that with AI technology advancing as rapidly as it is, soon I will be able to assemble the right robot for me…

Why is the media not blaring the alarms?!

It’s front-page news in the New York Times right now. The Washington Post too.

The fact that the salute is so offensive, they did it so blatantly, and their denial was so disingenuous is the point. It’s a demonstration of power. They can do a Nazi salute and their opponents can’t punish them. They can deny that they did a Nazi salute and their opponents can’t control the narrative. If they did something more subtle, then people might think that they weren’t facing any consequences because their opponents were giving them the benefit of the doubt. With the Nazi salute there is no doubt. The only explanation for why they aren’t facing any consequences is that their opponents are powerless.

It’s trolling. That’s not to say there aren’t people who seriously want this, but even those people are putting up this sign primarily to harvest the liberal tears.

There’s no benefit to cutting contact as a matter of principle. It won’t impede Trump even a little and it probably won’t change your dad’s political views either. Is he willing to avoid talking to you about politics? Do you enjoy his company when he isn’t talking about politics? If the answers to these questions are “yes” then I see no good reason to hurt him and yourself by cutting contact.

I think that every two people in my family have serious disagreements about some issue, but the world wouldn’t become a better place if we all argued and then stopped talking to each other.

I didn’t think I would ever say this, but here it is: I wish that modern Republicans thought more about what Reagan would have done.

(Eisenhower would be an even better Republican to remember now. He would be ashamed to see his party and this country as they are today.)

They probably agreed to cooperate with Trump’s immigration crackdown. Wait no, that’s our crooked mayor.

That shark was trying to save us from ourselves.

I don’t think that performing as part of a band is against the spirit of the competition, as long as the devil is still being judged according to his individual contribution. Or would you require him to perform a capella if he was in a singing competition?

And anyway, the devil went before Johnny - if Johnny objected or wanted his own accompaniment, he could have said so.

This from the OS that made me have to do a search for “how to kill children”.

More overtly erotic? How is that possible, unless there’s a sex scene?

The apartment I bought had cabinets with fake, decorative drawers on them. Except it turned out that one of those drawers wasn’t decorative. It was just stuck.

Inside there was a full set of silverware (as in literal silver) from the 60’s complete with the original receipt. It’s worth thousands of dollars. I guess whoever lived there before me was in no condition to pack and the people who packed didn’t know about the silver…
