*Also* a union busting exercise.

Don't underestimate how much the racism and sexism and transphobia are real and ends in themselves.

"Perfect". I can think of a lot of imperfect people who don't have Nazi tattoos and didn't work for Blackwater. It's amazing how low the standards for perfection can get.

I'd like to see a *real* redemption arc featuring genuine atonement before I give someone with that history a Senate seat.

He can say that but he's wrong.
More of the studio session.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
Not everything, but AI, certainly. Name a product that should be kept on the market after the sheer scale of issues with AI, from legal to environmental to moral and, increasingly, psychological.

Public transit doesn't exist to make a profit, it is a public service. If you make it crappier so it doesn't meet people's needs, then charge more for it so fewer people can pay for it, *then* complain when fewer people use it, that shows a pretty fundamental lack of comprehension.

Reminder: The only 2 nations that voted AGAINST recognizing food as a human right is the United States and Israel.
It's your assumption they'll care to even attempt to fix it that most astonishes me in your attitude. They should be *pulling it off the market* until it's fixed if they cared. That they haven't is plain evidence they really don't.
Please stop trying to paint this man as a good candidate for president. You have time to find someone better.

The people who think the government should be run like a business are killing something that has a 180% ROI. THAT is how you bankrupt a casino.
Well, that description (programmed to affirm etc) is pretty much from one of the CEO'S mouths IIRC, though of course I can't find the citation now.
So I changed my avatar (from the bisqued but not glazed to the glazed version of the same bowl). I hope it's similar enough folks can still recognize me...

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”
You *don't* think that the machine that is directed to affirm and agree with everything you say and gets programmed to respond in ways to make you feel like the smartest and specialest so you'll keep talking to it (and thus making its makers money) makes existing problems worse?

I can't think which of those AI can possibly do anything to help. And the most dangerous, the depression, AI has been known to exacerbate and encourage.
IME, it's not usually so much a block as one of three things:

A: a plot problem in current WIP that hasn't been resolved yet.

B: Other things are taking up writing brainspace, be it chores/duties or entertainments.

C: depression/anxiety.

It's the Fesshole/Vagina Museum crossover event you've all been waiting for. Tons of you tagged us into this across all of our socials, asking for a fact-check. The consensus of the reply guys is that it Didn't Happen. However, this is in fact very possible. Here's why...
I've been saying for a while that the fact that the villagers include some messed up folks is why the game works; if everyone in Stardew Valley was perfect, all us messy humans who game wouldn't feel like we fit in.
Consider the original cozy media: cozy mysteries. Nice little old ladies gardening, or cuddled up with biscuits and tea.... figuring out which of their nice-seeming neighbours committed a thoroughly heinous murder.
