I’ll try it!

I’m about to be 40 and I’m a married, hetro-cis woman; I still do this. Though lately I’ve been leaning more heavily toward city builders

Show: Love, Death and Robots. It’s fantastic but some of the episodes just hit too hard. I’ll eventually get back to it, I just need some time

Game: Cyberpunk. I was looking something up and found out what happens to Evelyn. I kinda look like her a bit, and have also dealt with (much milder) issues in the same category. Too brutal

Movie: I actually watched it all the way, but the first time I watched American Beauty is just fucked me up for like, a week

I’ve already watched it, but my husband and I are going through it again because he hasn’t seen it. We binge watch most shows, but Mr. Robot is HEAVY and it gets heavier and weirder until the end.

My advice while watching it is to detach from the characters. Accept that anyone can die at any moment, often horribly, but know that the ending is bitter-sweet and that the show is absolutely worth the watch

I wouldn’t say I love it, but it’s def haunting. It has a feeling to it that the other two are missing

I just need to comment how annoying this paragraph is:

“Unlike California, Texas, and Arizona — which have also been used as a testing ground for driverless cars — have passed laws holding companies who operate autonomous vehicles responsible for any driving infractions.”

Should be written: Texas and Arizona, unlike California, have passed laws holding companies who operate autonomous vehicles responsible for any driving infractions. All three states have been used as testing grounds for driverless cars."

Right? If it just went up a bit I wouldn’t have blinked an eye. Ads on something I (technically my dear husband) already pay for just pisses me off. It feels like they’re holding ad-free viewing hostage

I was born with one and it was partially corrected at birtb. I can’t stick my tongue out far, but I have none of the other issues you’ve listed (partly because I’m a woman married to a man).

I highly doubt you would regret having it done as long as you’re in a clean environment with a surgeon who knows what they are doing

Fair point

All right, fair. Maybe Taco Bell wasn’t the best test. I’ll keep that in mind for the next time

It was a year or two ago, I can’t recall. But probably something like Target

I know people say they there are studies, etc, but I agree with you. My husband and I both don’t like Taco Bell. There were zero searches for it, we never talked about it, etc. So we decided to test it. We started saying Taco Bell multiple times in different sentences.

Guess what suggested options popped up when we hit “T” into google or maps? Yup. Taco Bell

I’m a woman in the U.S. and I’ve never had a friend ditch a guy for using a different phone than them.

This is either fake, limited to the younger generation, infrequent enough that I’ve never encountered it, or regional

I know men who have a hard time getting dates, but phone choice has never been brought up as to why they’re rejected

(Frankly, if someone rejects anyone for what phone they are using, the rejecting-party’s clearly not worth pursuing)

My guess is that perhaps you’re a bit young and inexperienced with the world. It isn’t as black and white or cut and dry as you may think it is.

It certainly doesn’t revolve around children.

I don’t have children yet, and it might come to pass that I have none, but I have worked with them. I’m an observer type of person. I like to analyze things. I also come from a household where my own voice wasn’t heard. I didn’t learn how to manage my emotions, and as a consequence I’m having to continue to do so well into adulthood.

Kids emotions are raw, intense, and untamed. Yes, they should be listened to, yes their needs should be met- but they also need to understand that the world doesn’t revolve around them and that sometimes they need to wait.

They need to know that they are loved. They need to know that they are important. But again, they need to know that other people are important too. They need to understand that other people’s feelings matter, too. They need to be able to identify when someone else is busy on the phone and come back later to show that cool new drawing they made.

If the parent drops what they are doing each and every time, allows the child to interupt constantly, and leads them to believe that they are the most important person in the room at all times, then what lesson will they take with them into adulthood?

You know those people that start yelling when their starbucks drink is not to their liking? That’s one way that those people are made

I think this one’s my favorite so far!

AI doc: “Please enter your problem” Patient: “Well, I feel depressed because I saw on Facebook that my x-girlfriend has a new guy” AI doc: “Interesting. I advise you to spend more time on social media. Have you checked her insta yet?”

Sure, but only when they are too little to know better, or to do something themselves. If they are babied into childhood they may turn into adults who still believe the world revolves around them. I have a couple x’s like that. Into their late 30’s and still can’t function without someone else helping them

Lessons need to be learned at the appropriate ages

FISHFACE FOR PRESIDENT!

Seriously!

Oh, you’ve tasked AI with managing banking? K. All bank funds are suddenly corrupted. Oh, you’ve tasked AI with managing lights at traffic intersections? K, they’re all green now. Oh, you’ve tasked AI with filtering 911 calls to dispachers? K, all real emergencies are on hold until disconnected

I could go on and on and on…

We have a Ninja hybrid type. That thing is AMAZING almost equal to the value of a microwave
