Oh that's a terrible plan. Veterans are far more likely to end up poor than rich, and that doesn't include the ones who never come home.

George is whimsical?

Don't forget be extremely lucky.

That was basically the premise of Seinfeld.

He's said, out loud, into a microphone and on camera, that he didn't know who he had pardoned.

Again, I didn't accuse you of shit. I said pedophile enablers are bad people, and you volunteered to be offended. That's on you if you felt accused of being shitty. If that's what you're about, then I really don't care what you think of what I said.

I didn't accuse you of anything. I said people who defend pedophiles are bad people. You jumped in to be like "No, we're not!" If what I said offended you because I said I don't like pedophile enablers (or pedophiles), then that's you telling on yourself.

Ok, you caught me. I'm prejudiced against pedophiles and pedophile enablers, and I'm not sorry. If that offends you, I assume you're a member of one of those two groups, and I don't want to continue talking with you. I suppose that's a sort of bigotry, but I'm not really worried what you think or what offends pedophiles and pedophile enablers.

I'm not suggesting you're doing it specifically. I'm saying generally if you feel the need to make that distinction in your normal day to day life, you're almost certainly a sexual predator.

Yeah, if you're quoting the DSM V to defend yourself as technically not a pedophile, then yes you've crossed the rubicon of decency.

This is one of those technical distinctions where if you're making the distinction, you're already on the wrong side of everything.

Like, how do you teach kids to do it? Show it to them, and critique their performance, without being a total creep. Big pile of nope from me.

My kid's school is doing Legally Blonde Jr, the Musical, and I was shocked that Bend and Snap is going to be part of the show. Like, I'm not a pearl-clutching prude, but how are you going to make that appropriate for 12 year old girls?

Anyway, yes your pun was better, but it reminded me that this is going to be weird.

Was he the one who was a piece of shit? Or was that Crick?

I have a big head, so every pair of headphones I've used will eventually break there. At least these can be repaired.

Yep, it's the "probably" that creates the ethics conundrum. We won't know how to improve the process without testing the process, and we cannot ethically create "test" humans like that scene in Alien Resurrection where all the failed Sigourney clones are sitting in jars, suffering and begging for death.

What? In my metaphor, Democrats are the nets made of sometimes poop, and Republicans are the turds. Was that not clear?

Yeah, sure. Gather the guillotine and meet me in the town square.

Look, if you're scooping turds out of a punch bowl, and the only tool you have is a net that might be made of turds, then you can either keep scooping or you can throw away the whole bowl of punch. You don't just give up and drink the punch because it's all the same. One is a turd in the punchbowl. The other is a mechanism for removing the turds, but it's also probably a turd. Doing something is still doing something, even if the punch is still shit.
