The thing about upper middle class families is that, when they’re cruel, they’re very upper middle class about it. The parents sent their teenage daughter to a psychiatric hospital for being rebellious (what?) and later kicked her out (shortly before she finished high school), and it turns out she was bipolar, so we…

But I think it ought to be equally obvious that if your kids don’t turn out well, some of that’s on you. You raised them, after all.

Suzy and Rick Wamsley were a well-liked couple in their mid-40s. They lived a comfortable, upper-middle-class life, and didn’t seem to have any enemies.

We never see her, and in the last episode she is revealed to be the mother of Norm’s wife, Vera, from Cheers.

Controversial opinion time: Best Portal song is actually Cara Mia (The Turret Opera)

“and hence suffered the illusion of being a conscious self.”

Here’s where I recommend Blindsight by Peter Watts. The book deals with an intelligent but non-conscious alien, and postulates that the conscious mind might be a evolutionary anomaly.

I think i’m part of the other camp of computer AI philosophy, in which the robots will have their own Tinder accounts and their descriptions will be “Swipe Right”.

There are only two robotic solutions to overpopulation: killer robots or sex robots. I say we go with the sex robots.
