Why do we assume an alien race would have super intelligence and never do anything wrong? I’m sure there’s a Bell Curve of intelligence for them much like there is for us. Unless they did something crazy like use all the stupid aliens for fuel so the smart ones could find a new home. 

Skaters are like mogwais. 

Same for Terry Bradshaw. Time to hang em up.

Go figure that between capitalism and narcissism, something as groundbreaking as AI will be mainly used for attention-whoring and scamming people.

And the billions of dollars the Pentagon can’t seem to account for. I think I’m in the wrong line of work.

I took glass blowing for a semester in art school and this happened to me. I saw what looked to be just glass lying in a bin, so I grabbed it. Not a good idea. Then one time my professor handed me a punty rod and I managed to grab the wrong end of it. The look on her face was priceless, but she knew what to do: have

Don’t shit where you eat and don’t believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free.

This is playing out like a season of Silicon Valley in real life. All we can hope for is that Twitter somehow allows children to create accounts and gets slapped with billions in fines.

If I saw them coming to help me I’d say I’m good and walk to the hospital.

Driving in Eastern Oregon at night, in the middle of winter, and the road is a rutted sheet of snow. Then all of a sudden there’s dozens of rabbits running across the highway in my headlights. I can’t slam on my brakes because of the snow so I just white knuckled it and tried to not look out my windshield at the

Nearly everything sends the message to kids that nothing they do is ever good enough, and the work they’ve done means nothing because there’s more work to be

Sounds like these kids have been routinely traumatized by unreasonable expectations since the moment they were born.

What could possibly go wrong? Meta’s Facebook is on the bleeding edge of content moderation people say.

I would be the one time I used glyphosate to kill weeds my cat mysteriously died of multiple organ failure a week later.

Are there plans for a series in which a young white man in his 20's picks up and moves to Alaska?

His brain isn’t even fully developed yet. That’s pedophilia.

We have a space like that in our upstairs but no one ever hangs out there because there’s no TV and we never have guests. I mean, it looks super nice but I can think of about half a dozen other things I’d prefer to do with that space.

People come to your house?

Ugh. This reminds me of the first home my spouse and I bought. We found an affordable place in a new development that just happened to be kind of on the outskirts of the town we lived in. I guess we didn’t get the memo that most of the people buying there did so as an investment so they could turn them into rentals.
