I still have (and use) a blue plastic box that I got as a happy meal toy once. The thing is the size of a pencil box, and it has the arches as a handle, if I remember correctly. I don’t use it often, but it’s around somewhere.

There’s so many reasons that could have happened, though. (I know most of us know that already, I just have to say it.) I really want our politicians and policy wonks to go get a degree in biology, or take some reproductive health classes (real ones, not Abstinence Only ones) before they are allowed to even THINK…

Look, I googled and everything, and I’m sure the internet is right, but... either you used the wrong picture or this guy is definitely Will Smith’s son and no one can tell me otherwise.

All the better!

I recently saw that there is already a book sequel out in stores. I haven’t read it, so I pass no judgement on its content. But, if they want a script, I’m assuming they’d start there.

Pretty sure church grandmas are propping up sales with a healthy margin.

This. If their take were true, they wouldn’t be wasting their breath blustering, they’d have already been on the phone to the lawyers and papers would have been filed yesterday.

This is where the bit from Blazing Saddles comes in about “salt of the earth... you know, morons.”

Few things more fragile than some white kids’ sense of “justice and fairness” when they are just learning some hard realities about race, especially their own race. They make her case for her but they might never realize it.

...that’s, uh, a whole different series. *looks guilty*

I don’t know if you’ve noticed how things work around here, but corporations are increasingly the only members of society that count. Haven’t you heard? They’re people, too! People with the most money.

I hadn’t fully realized that, but now I want to do a set of the opposite, if I have to write the books myself. (They will be poorly written.)

I’m not sure if DeVos is the most deserving, but she will certainly be the most satisfying if she, or any, of these folks see any sort of real consequences for the shitty era they have hastened to bring upon us. I know if will never happen, but what I want most for them all is not jail, but absolute and utter poverty.…

If “the most efficient economy” is the above-all-else goal, then we can just plug the humans into the Matrix and get on with being batteries for our corporate overlords, then.

Yes, because every move our society makes towards a future where we are no longer comfortable (or in some cases, not even ABLE) to look a person in the eye and communicate with another human without mentally freaking out is a step toward the end of the better parts of civilization. We need human connections to remind…

Because the person who is paid to be familiar with the ordering system can maybe do it 10 times faster than you? Unless you get a new person on their training week, I suppose. But, generally, they’re faster, because they’re familiar with it. This is more of that “off loading the work onto the consumer and calling it…

I get not wanting to talk to people, but I’ve never put the 2-second interaction of “I’d like a sandwich, please,” as a conversation. To me, it’s the fastest, easiest way to get what I want. I say it, once, out loud, to a person who is not a computer and will not misunderstand me because of voice recognition glitches.…

Related to this: The McDonalds in my little rural town has shifted so that there is no longer a counter you walk up and order from. There are only a row of giant screen kiosks where you enter your order and pay. If you need help, or want some peasant to enter your order for you, a smiling not-a-cashier is standing…

Part of the “letting people do what they want” is letting women decide how many children they want, and giving them BIRTH CONTROL to manage that. Generally speaking, research shows that when given a realfreaking choice (and the means to do so) women have less children. It ain’t rocket science, but it does require…

You seriously don’t have to see much anime porn hentai whatever stuff to see this face. It’s everywhere. I’m sure they know.
