Only because the American Naz... I mean conservatives are always, always against helping poor people and always always do their best to thwart any attempts to get the government to actually help its citizens. Remember, they hate you.

We're the reason they're doom prepping. So no, there's nothing for us to worry about.

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?

The debate is ramping up about what happens if - or when - computer intelligence overtakes humans

I don't do this. However, I use a mouse with my right hand and always have. So now my right hand has a different sort of dexterity from my left hand, with which I still write with and do most things.

Meanwhile some teenage girl in the 1930s was sending these to her faourite horror magazine:

Devil's Croft is enticing. Raggh---woof---grr---I like so very much.

If you can get me any more story-length poems like Lovecraft's Psychopompos---by all means 'gimme.'

The only reason I'd wanna learn how to play a violin would be so I could play that bit from Baba O'Riley. At a Ren Faire.

Yes, thank you! It's a perplexing concept. Though my opinion is that if I'm paying money then I've bought all rights to the character and it's just the same as if I'd created it myself. That's how it should be.

Me: My Maria, don't you know I have come a long, long way? I've been longin' to see her, when she's around she takes my blues away.

Therapist: Sweet Maria! The sunlight surely hurts my eyes. I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies.

Me: Seventy-three men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay. Rolled off of their ship, and here's what they had to say.

Therapist: "We're callin' everyone to ride along to another shore. We can laugh our lives away and be free once more."

Therapist: what do we say to people to let them know we’re welcoming them into our lives?
Me: Hi! Welcome to the shit show!

I remember these! I remember this brand. Fries in a little red box. They also had a burger in a little red box. They ALSO had a microwaveable shake. You heard me. It was frozen solid and you used your microwave oven to melt it until it was all good and mushy, and still cold. Yeah.

They sure are. I was very surprised to find them during my trip earlier this year.

I guess I've gotten pretty far in Ratopia. Look at how I've transformed that giant tree. I have tamed the underground wilderness of the entire map. I just made another rat city-state my vassal. I'm generating lots of electrical power. Too bad it's not on the normal difficulty.
