If one actually wanted to entertain the dumb notion that Helen should look “accurate” we already know these right wing softboys would fall on the fainting couch if she looked Greek, because that’s what they did for the Greek-looking Wonder Woman in the suicide squad game.

I think one long-term unknown-unknown cost is what the liability insurance story is for robots vs. human drivers. My i-have-no-evidence-for-this reaction is "Juries will give bigger dollar awards to plaintiffs in robot driver accidents". That by itself could make human drivers cheaper.

Also, we have plenty of examples where technologies were achievable, but not economical (eg: the Concorde SST). It’s possible self driving cars are possible in some abstract sense but may always be too expensive to actually deploy.

The answer to "Why is some detail of the Nintendo Entertainment System so weird?" is always "It was cheaper."

Who do I have to bribe to find the complete recording of the fragment of David Munrow's brilliant 7th symphony arrangement from the Zardoz soundtrack? It seems to be lost to time.

Long shot: can you find out if he can get the original recordings of David Munrow’s choral arrangement of Beethoven’s 7th? It’s lost to time.

I'm getting way too much use out of this.

Passive tense is doing so much work in your tweet. Mamdani won for one single reason: because normie Democratic voters decided to vote blue no matter who.

No one is arguing that some of the establishment didn't act like shitheads! That still doesn't mean you should act like them.

[raises hand] guilty as charged.

Suicide Squad made me angry because it wasn't even bad. It was just...nothing.

No, I don't support any Nazis.

Dude, the question is really simple: which side are you on?

You can pick whatever side you wanna be on. You seem to be doing backflips to stay on the side with the ACTUAL NAZIS (the GOP). If that's the side you're on, then our conversation is done.

[dips scepter] I'll allow it.

OK, make sure to tell your grandpa when you meet him that you decided to support the actual literal nazis who are currently in power instead of theoretical nazis you made up in your head.

You could have just said "I support the GOP" and saved us all time.

You're really bad at this.

Read the shirt again.

I'm not ordering you, I'm ASKING you.

You can say no! If you say no, I'll think you're a shithead. That's how life works. You can think I'm a shithead for asking, but I don't see anyone here giving orders.

I'm not asking if Chuck Schumer is a shithead, dude. I'm asking if you are. This is between us as voters.

I'm giving you my word I'll support your (D) fave when they win. Will you give me your word that you'll support mine?

OK. I'm fine with you writing me off, if you agree to support my (D) fave when they win the primary (and I of course give you the same agreement in return).

Deal?

We're literally in a thread of public (claiming to be) lefties saying they would withhold their vote because of [incredibly long list of silly reasons, many involving Chuck Schumer.]

And YES I am saying that if Schumer (or any other dem) refuses to support your fave after they win the primary, I will ABSOLUTELY call him a shithead in public.

See how easy it is?

And feel free to campaign against my fave in the primary! That's the point of a primary! Fight hard. But if you lose, and say "WELL I'm going to withhold my vote because the GOP isn't THAT bad", then you're just being a shithead.

So do the right thing.

The leader isn't the one asking. Us, your fellow voters. We're asking.

Which side are you on?

If you're against Trump and the GOP, congrats, welcome aboard. I'll vote for your (D) fave if they win the primary. I absolutely don't care who it is. Will you vote for mine?

This isn't an agreement between you and Chuck Schumer. This is an agreement between you and your fellow voters. Literally no one can control your vote. Literally no one can ensure you don't behave like a shithead.

All you have to do is decide to show solidarity, or not. This is an easy ask.

Counterpoint: no it doesn't. That's the entire point of signing up to it before the primary results.

My "no matter who" shirt has people asking lots of questions STILL already answered by my shirt.

This is an easy test dude and you're flopping it.

No, that's incorrect: you have to be a Democrat *who won a primary* (complimentary).

You're confused when you call this "moral weakness"; the term you are looking for is actually "solidarity."

Hope that helps. Good luck.
