Ha, good one… the answer is always more smite.

I am going through setting strict boundaries and getting those people out of my life right now, so glad you managed the same!

One does not simply walk into Dorsia, either, you need reservations.

Workshop this with me, passporn or pornport? Porn pass?

He shot his shot, I can’t fault him. Straight male, unfortunately.

Money only amplifies who you are and what you’re able to do. I’m quite comfortable, but I like to build things and make companies grow, and solve technical problems. I don’t really want to sit back and just do nothing - in fact I’d love a partner to help me do a bit more relaxing - but when left to my own devices I am always learning some new skill or refining some process or generally trying to make the world around me a little better.

The fact that rational people might decide that stochastic terrorism is the most logical choice on both sides should terrify the FBI and Secret Service. Imagine standing in the middle of that?

If Trump wins in November, Europe should seriously consider creating a situation where Russia triggers Article 5 and war commences. Once the US was involved they can’t pull out or they would be kicked out of Europe, and lose their place on the world stage. China would take Taiwan and push the Philippines, and Europe would say “cool story, bro” when the US sought help.

That’s nothing, I met a guy who said he was a Brazilian.

Then it’s a witch?

You know who else would make a fine leader for these great united states?

Like the emoluments clause matters any more. He can just collect his salary after he leaves office, as a treat.

“I’m giving 10 people one million dollars if the can pass House Appropriations Bill 5031.662.7H!”

I’ve started signing them all up for each other’s mailing lists.

The guy in front of them is thinking, “he didn’t by me a boob job, why do I have to listen to this?”

The Dark Forest theory is a great answer to this paradox. Anyone more advanced has a rational choice to exterminate all competition. We haven’t found any other advanced life because it hasn’t shown up and killed us yet.

At my company management pay is a fraction of the hourly cost of employees for standard time and materials work.

I would argue the difference between republicans and conservatives is the fanaticism. Conservatism is believing that we want to do the most good things we can afford, but we have to be conservative in our estimates of what we can afford. That is the only belief inherent to being conservative. I would likewise define the core belief of Liberalism that we have to take care of many basic needs, and figure out how to pay for it, even if it creates hardship. I greatly respect that point of view, and feel the best answer for society lies somewhere between the two.

Republicanism doesn’t care about conservatism any more; I vote for middle of the road Democrats as a conservative. The abortion/gun/god crap is ridiculous.

You’ve never had a nhamburger?

Then some signal from the base unit alerts all units that one detector has gone off, to alarm the home. Either the base unit is sending a false signal, or some outside signal is mimicking the signal.

Personally I’d install a standalone detector in that spot.
