Thanks, God. We'll spend the next 3000 years obsessing over that.

Warlock: I promised my soul in exchange for great power.

Rogue: To which great power?

Warlock: All of them. Let them fight over it when I am dead.

Hold on, it's not as bad as you're imagining. Let me just pull something up to show you.

Trump has a lot that seems might be wrong with him, but schizophrenia never really seemed to be on the list. Narcissism, dementia, psycho-/socio-pathy, compulsive lying, and possibly more, but I've never gotten the feeling he displayed the hyperpatternicity I associate with schizophrenia.

'I want you to make me a Facebook-killer app with agentive AI and blockchains. Why is that so hard for you code monkeys to understand?'

I'd like to see this done on a candid camera, punkd, etc type show. Build a set with some magician level gimmick and have someone do something game-y, then log out. The look on the faces of the people as their brains melted out their ears would be hilarious.

This is kind of the best-case fantasy of what happened to introduce that DNA so let's just hope it's true for now.

So that's what he meant when he said he liked the stuff with two women? I am shocked, I tell you, shocked. Not appalled, though.

I think I can see what went wrong here. The therapist is probably trying to disrupt their internal narrative but hasn't established the baseline trust. Confrontation can be important in therapy. Sometimes, people can get the idea that their agency doesn't matter, that they are just the sort of person who doesn't get to (lose weight/have sex/get that job/etc.) and part of a therapist's job can be to get the patient to break down that belief by questioning it, but if they haven't established the necessary trust with the patient, it just comes across like a trollish comment on the internet, a random attack from a stranger who might not only not be doing it for your best interest but even to be hurtful for their own amusement.

I don't think I have ever heard of anyone who knew Kobe because he 'embodied values.' He played basketball well enough to be one of the top players. No one has ever mentioned him for any other reason.

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?

Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

[Peter laughs and then notices Lawrence's dead serious expression]

Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?

Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.

Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.

Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.

Peter Gibbons: Good point

Just tossing on: 'If I have to go blind I want to make your naked body the vision I take with me into the darkness' sounds like a hell of a compliment, and maybe the basis for a gothic love song/novella.

Poor snake. He walked into its home and woke it up only to slaughter it.

Wait, why?

Don't you get it? The lack of body hair allows for more efficient air/skin contact to keep you cool. It also reduces itchiness from the socks, which in turn, compress the legs and focus oxygenated blood flow on the brain and vital organs, promoting better code, like a fighter pilot's compression suit. And all of that is necessary to help counter the cognitive losses incurred by the continuous arousal of wearing the buttplug.

Couldn't you just not wear the buttplug?

Not...? I don't understand. What do you mean?

Morally? No.

Legally? Be careful. Some places have allowances in laws to permit relationships between closely aged young people, even if one is technically a minor. Some places do not. Check your local laws. If it's not explicitly laid out as an exception, a bad breakup, a bad parent, or even an unlucky encounter with a nosy cop can seriously damage your life.

This will sound like heresy to some, but get away from the bleeding edge. You probably don't need the absolute latest version of every little thing. It can feel cool knowing you know how to fix a borked install but actually having to do so sucks. Dump the hype and get to something stable for your daily driver. If you want to experiment, do it on another drive/machine. Building a custom rocketship is cool, but you should probably build it without breaking the truck you use to go get parts.

Not the best comparison. A spinning chip with a loop of Funky Town would almost certainly just be taking two things made by someone else and slapping them together. Badger Badger was made as an original piece of music with original animations by Mr Weebl. Even if both are somewhat mindless, one is a soulless asset swap while the other is an all original multimedia creation created by someone who genuinely put effort into bringing mirth into other people's lives.

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."

'I saw I got a message from you and took a double shot before I opened it, just to be safe.'

A ways back, I saw an article about how the French were rioting because their retirement age was being increased from 62 to 64. I remarked that it was interesting to see the French rioting against a change that wouldn't even quite bring them to parity with the US but Americans can't be bothered to riot for almost anything. A Frenchman said they didn't want to even be more like the US in any way.

This law is absolutely the now-classic American attitude that kids can watch violent movies all day, but if they'rEXC exposed to one female nipple, you gotta shut it all down. Is France turning into America now, following Britain down the red, white, and blue path?
