  • If the robot is tough enough for production they should have no fear of stripping the clothes off with a box knife. The whole scene was still pretty impressive, especially compared to last week’s Russia bot! 🤦🏻‍♂️

    But still, were I heading this project, I’d insist on toughness at this point in development. (Talking out my ass, looking to the end game, no idea where they’re at ATM.)



  • I get you! She’s extraordinarily beautiful, and not just in a blonde hair/blue eyes kinda way. I have an admiration for any man or woman who works hard to maximize their appearance. My wife is like that. She won’t win any beauty pageants, but she is as attractive as it’s possible to be for her. It’s fucking hard work and Swift could do nothing to be any more attractive.

    Turns out I like her music too! Kids listening to something, “That’s cool, who’s that?”

    But sexy? Maybe she’s too perfect? I like a woman that’s “off” in some way. Maybe a big nose, wide-spaced eyes, pouchy mouth, gimme some imperfections that stand out.

    I have to pay about $200/yr. on my 2.5 acres of swamp, can’t even get a permit for an outhouse kinda swamp. If I ever get to the point I can’t pay that, I forfeit my land, sold to the highest bidder on the steps of the county courthouse. Sorry about your meager inheritance kids, mom and dad had to eat food.

    ATM, I don’t pay property taxes on my Habitat for Humanity mortgage. Think that ends once it’s paid off. So as I enter old age, you all think I should be stripped of my home if I can’t pay property taxes, forever? Think on that. Imagine being 85-years old, can’t scrounge $1,000 extra every year, lose it all.

    BTW, this home has nearly doubled in value since I bought it 8 years ago. And exactly what fucking good does that do for me? If I sell, I can’t get another home for that much. I would be like having a car worth $100,000 when new cars cost $120,000.











  • DG is all we have in the country. It’s not like some mom-and-pop could provide that range of goods at those prices. There are DGs where there is nothing else, never was. I’m on the edge of town and a lot of these people have to walk or bike to the store. The new DG was a godsend.

    At the town outside my camp, 900 souls, there’s a DG and a gas/convenience/general store coexisting, only two businesses. I spend what I can with the local store, get what I can’t at DG. The DG is the only real general store (hence the name) for 25-minutes in either direction.

    Every criticism I’ve ever heard is from city people.
