Mi Pa

Now i have to rewatch them all, dammit!

I feel like I've been schooled. I will be staying inside the house from now on!

There was a young family on my floor in a building years ago and I can say that a long straight hallway flips a switch in toddlers that says "open her up! Let's see what she can do!" and when they are in full, sandal flapping, flight they don't see anything past the hall carpet immediately in front

Is it better to stop striving for stability or to give up and become fish that swim in this sea? It feels like acclimatising and being comfortable in today makes the options for tomorrow much more uncomfortable

The down side of this observation is the "quick fix" is to add something like "Murkying Agent 565". If looking healthy is cheaper than being healthy...

Is your background colonial avocado's, or post-depression migrant avocado's?

There is so much magical thinking going on right now, that any plausible benefits of AI (with well understood data sets, expert post-analysis) will just get left by the wayside for not being fantastical enough.

The main thing is maintaining the energy to be appropriately salty in RL situations. We all, here in the internet, are just part of the Void - good for screaming into, but not a source of satisfying reaction...

As a kid in the 80s she was omnipresent. She may not be underrated but I feel like she is under-represented, if that makes any sense. Or maybe we get just enough dolly to remind us how special she us without oversaturation.. (just enough to always feel like not quite enough)

DMV: Unless you can pass under this, we are going to have to register you as a heavy goods vehicle.
Hotrod: *gets way down, down to the ground*
DMV: Great! So based on your GVM, here's your registration as a family wagon.
Hotrod: GVM?! I'm gross?! *snatches paperwork, runs out of building sobbing*

I would say that the constructed fantasies of adults generally cone from a more unsavoury and self-gratifying source than kids

What I find really odd is how loneliness is getting cited as a reason for misogyny. Loneliness is a situation that many experience (for a long or short time) - not an assault. Forced isolation happens but is rare. Social tools are important but so is recognising where the pain is really coming from.

Can you keep scrolling sideways until it suggests "Unfortunately YouTube terms of service will not allow me to hit 'Send' on my reply."?

A car, you say..

".. nearly impossible to prevent given the prevailing toxic relationship with firearms in the US and the failure of US mental health support systems.."
.. or something

Just by the by the by, that artwork is awesome!

A lot of books is part of my fantasy of living a settled life. Not quite "a spare room like an old used book shop" but I woukd t say no to that...

You won't believe the prompt that generated that!

they will blame:
- the previous administration
- the recently-routed congress
- other countries
- immigrants
- renewable energy
- too-high taxes on the wealthy and big business

Around the world "progressive" politicians are acting like they just need to look more progressive than the alternative so they just slump around like suited garbage bags full of meat waiting for the atrociousness of the right, and the general discourse, to shovel them into power...

Yeah but I bet Soundwave is a blast on multi-lightyear road trips!

Does the word "journalist" mean something different in the US?

I love how both of these could have absolutely no contextual relationship to the comment - like they were randomly pulled from a database of generically affirmative phrases (which would be cheaper and less resource intensive than AI)

Better than my in-car rendition of Ca Plane Pour Moi but when I am drunk I can do a plausible, if unintelligible, Serge Gaisbourg in Jetaime.. Moi Non Plus

I know you guys need to earn the credits to keep the landlords at bay, but is there a chance of snippets of your shows finding their way onto the interwebs for those of us too lazy and inconsiderate to make the 15000km commute? 😁

Madeleine moment: remembering cracking open the rental-store VHS and lying on the lounge room floor under a doona in the dark watching it...

They are arguing among themselves about it. Expect a diss-track war with ambiguous rhythmic feel!

If we can get fusion-powered quantum, we can power the AI that will finally drive Cryptocurrency to the moon!

If you don't have a meaningful opposition then they also become enablers. This is not just an American problem. All around the world the progressive side of politics is becoming like overchewed chewing gum. A limp and flavourless disappointment leaving the field wide open for nasty operators
