Once again, it feels like too much money and power just makes people into freaks. None are completely immune, too few are effectively resistant.

When money makes you complicit in the system where money is power, there is no way to leverage money to fix the system unless you’re somehow completely insulated from direct personal gain.

Morality, ethics, humanity… These must be maintained, have we all just moved on? Maybe it’s just me that’s given up.

What do I think? I think… “Am I having a stroke?”

All those words… They almost make sense in that order, but not quite!

Sponsored by an AI company, sorry, can’t trust someone with such poor judgement.

My wife.

Damn, that’s crazy. Didn’t know all these books I owned weren’t real.

Mind = Blown

Ah yes, paperback… Fake books. Unlike… Actual books.

Knowing the humor he tends to lean towards in the podcast, I wouldn’t be surprised by that joke at all.

Ohhh dear, I love Behind the Bastards… but this is a rough choice of words from our boy Robert Evans. I guess he’s not known for being the most sensitive chap.

Well, it was cancer, so certainly unpleasant, but depending on the meds he was given, possibly relatively painless.

No. It’s ghosting if they reach out to you, and you ignore them.

This is not ghosting. Can’t speak on the rest. People are complicated, and their life seems more complicated than most from what little you said.

That’s kind of an absurd statement, isn’t it?

If you murder me by shooting me in the back of the head while I’m not looking, that’s not torture.

Obviously I still don’t want you to kill me, but… It’s still not torture, it’s a different thing, and we have different words for that… it’s murder, or killing, or slaughter.

Please keep in mind I’m not making a moral or ethical judgement, but a definitional one. Torture is a different thing.

If, as you say

there’s no way to avoid torturing an animal while taking their life when they don’t want to die.

How are you defining torture?

Did I torture my dearly beloved pets when they had cancer or infections bad enough that I had to have them put down? No! What an odd and cruel thing that would be for me to say!

But they still didn’t want to die, and I didn’t want them to either. That’s not torture.

Say no to AI slop

I’d try the egg pizza. Olives with the pits is a choking hazard, because people won’t necessarily be expecting it.

Mice is animal

Mouses is computer/human interface device.

“Why aren’t girls interested in guys like me?! 😭”

Because you’re weird and overbearing.

I believe it’s a chameleon.
