Are you sure the "art of the deal" isn't just simply the "sunk cost fallacy?"

As a Democratic voter, I don't have to vote for either of them at all.

How about sending a hospital boat to Louisiana to take care of some of the people there?

My immigration policy would be let everyone in if nothing worse than a misdemeanor shows up on their criminal background check and they get vaccinated against everything (vaccines administered to all at the border). If they work and pay taxes for 5 consecutive years, make them citizens.

I don't need the car to have any features my phone already does. Bluetooth speakers are good enough.

That seems rather minimal.

I haven't stumbled across what they're actually saying very much before.

That is one of the most clueless, self absorbed articles I have ever seen.

It's that person who just buys a weekly ticket to whatever is playing without checking to see what it is first.

I think her movie is lacking in both sharks and killer robots. Because that's what it would need to get me to watch.

I still haven't figured it out reading this.

Given that Abraham ordered Sarah to prepare food for the guests and some traditions take that the guests are actually Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, could it be that the problem was societal expectations keeping Sarah from being fully present to God? Sarah did not choose and Mary did choose. (3)

But Mary is at the feet of Jesus because she's not helping Martha prepare food for Jesus. And Jesus says she has made the better choice. (2)

There was one Sunday, not too long ago where the story of the 3 messengers telling Abraham that he would have a son was juxtaposed with the story of Mary and Martha in the lectionary. The 3 messengers ask where Sarah is and Abraham answers that she's preparing food. (1)

Also, don't periodically interrupt the music to tell me my call is important. If I'm on hold, I'm multitasking and don't want to hear talking until a human being is actually available.

I mean if AI came with a robot body, I guess it could clean my house for me. But what exactly do I do that I would use it for?

Yes. Kind of like the Ghirardelli dark bars filled with raspberry jam, but little, tiny squares in a chocolate bar. I don't remember the brand because I was a little kid and got it in my Christmas stocking as a once a year treat. Just assuming it was Lindt.

I'm not even sure they make it anymore, but it was this Swiss chocolate bar (probably Lindt), filled with raspberry. I buy Lindt chocolate as an adult, but haven't seen that one.

Not to mention, I like podcasts because I can listen to them while doing other things. My YouTube debt (videos other people have sent me to watch) is staggering because I don't want a video that has to be watched when you could explain this to me over audio while I drive.

I think the phrase he's looking for is, "Dammit Donut."

Her outfit looks like she's about to sing a pop song in a nationally televised competition. The expression on her face looks like no one has caught on that she's been infected with the zombie plague yet.

I realize that's what their counter argument is, but I will always go back to the day when a professor asked the class if they thought women should have the same rights as men and then informed us that's what feminism is. I get angry at people who want to take away my rights.

She-Ra was my favorite show when I was a kid until I discussed Doctor Who. Then I was sad I had said it was my favorite show because there was this other show. But yeah, when I was a kid, I cried whenever my favorite shows ended or were cancelled.

Feminism is just the belief that women have the same rights as men. So while it might not have yet succeeded in all its goals, it's hard to see how it can fail women.

So apparently I can level up in Google Maps? Like it's a video game?

Let's discuss pointlessly gendered single occupancy restrooms. I have been known to use the men's single occupancy to avoid waiting for the occupied ladies and a lot of women do. I once went into a restaurant that had a sign declaring the women's single occupancy was for women only. Like, why?

The ideal man doesn't say no when you find another cat. But yup, that's a good sign he's not the one.

Yes, I know the prices in any given store in a given chain might not be the same as another. Stores have been doing that pricing technique for years, long before algorithms. And also, prices can change as often as the next shipment that comes in.

I want to say that Jurgen Moltmann made a similar argument. No, I don't know where he said that, just that over 10 years ago in seminary, it was being discussed in a theology class. The point was the conception by the Holy Spirit, not the virginity of Mary.
