Not wrong but not nuanced enough. Many Americans also believe in the ideas embodied in the Constitution and bill of rights. Many voted for the candidate who more strongly embodied those values. Just because the vote system is winner take all doesn’t mean that there aren’t Americans who are upset with this outcome.

Nice way to say it

This isn’t good advice for everyone. It might not even be good advice for most people. However, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that it would be good for you to do this.

Nicely done

Poor Freddie is not prepared for the modern world.

Is that a cougar?

Could be a golden doodle cross between a standard poodle and a golden retriever.

Very Hyperion

It is said by the Eldar that in fast food restaurants there lives yet the echo of the Cheeseburger of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the ads on the Television, and yet know not for what they hunger.

Many people do not grasp the sheer size of the disparity between the truly wealthy and everyone else.

Very Blade Runner 2049 indeed, but those guys at least had greenhouses where they farmed edible insects

Americans are not a monolith, but instead all over the place with regard to a cultural practice like care for the elderly. If you had to summarize it might be fair to say that there is more of a sense of freedom from obligation to care for elders than in some other places, which is also driven by the baby boomer generation being so entitled and the current younger generations encountering ever worsening economic prospects which the boomers are stereotypically blind and unsympathetic towards. Also, there is a greater recognition of abuse and sometimes that leads to the recognition that ones elders have been abusive and therefore can go fuck themselves.

Not at the same time, but in alternation, sure. It’s all reactions to underlying shame and inadequacy beliefs/feelings which are there all the time I expect.

This tracks with my assessment of the two likely personalities of software engineers, either narcissistic or anxious with imposter syndrome.

Awesome and funny play.

There are so many things that one might want in a partner which are not changeable, that something like this, where it can be taught, shouldn’t be high on the list of reasons to reject. If you discuss the issue with someone you’re dating and they 💩💩 it, then you might want to reject, but not because of the knowledge they lack but rather because of their insensitivity to your anxiety.

This might be the best example of pareidolia I’ve ever seen. Perfection!

I’m glad to know this makes you happy. Happy is good. It is a clever solution.

That’s more than half the battle if the neighbors aren’t crazy paranoid.

That guy fucked
