I have to admit, I'm sort of hoping the recent AI revolution goes horribly wrong and the technology is used for something constructive at some point.

We've had an AI revolution, when did that happen?

It's just an idle thought, but... like, the original Your Mother's Son in Law was a fairly subversive song for the time -- you had this young lady basically saying, "Look, you don't have to be some kind of impressive guy, just marry me", which was not exactly a culturally normative statement at the time for a number of reasons. "My mother's Son-in-Law" -- young woman lead, somewhat abnormal  There was an arrangement not long after with a male singer that swapped up the lyrics a bit and made it significantly less subversive by dint of it suddenly being an older dude saying more or less that they didn't have to be that impressive, just marry them anyway (on top of some other things, it was a much more standard sort of message for the time). "Your mother's Son-in-Law" -- male lead, bog standard heteronormative message.

... the thought, though, was that if there'd been a hypothetical version -- if it was done, it wasn't popularized in any sense -- that just, just genderflipped the singer, well. That would have been a song that might have gotten the singer killed in the 1930s, because suddenly you have a guy saying they want someone to be their mother's son in law. I.e. that's all that it takes to make the song gay as hell.

Anyway, the random thought was just ranking the songs in terms of subversion for time of publication, which was Six Swingers <<< Holiday < Hypothetical Literally Gay Version.

Okay I need a legally blind person that lives near a touristable deadly cliff.

I will funnel you all the people that are unable to process instructions when you didn't look them in the eyes 20 seconds because they are too distracted working through their sense of needy entitlement to process like two sentences. And no they're not hard of hearing, just lethally normal.

What's in it for you? I'm paying for the duration of the full tour, but you will be able to go home after half a day, everdyday... Also the shit they left in their hotel.

But just think of peoples faces when they realize Freddy Kruger was actually a robotic bear the entire time and they didn't realize it.

So we've been spotting kittens since december, one was abducted into a loving household, one wasn't spotted since we had <10C°, I found a dead adult cat nearby too...


But the last one is an absolute champ, it's megashy as it ought to be, I throw some treat it will be so goddamn cautious it take several minutes to grab the treat, stay cautious my majestic little survivor, never get run over. Maybe one day we will be able to sit back to back and affectively ignore eachother...


It's got white paws but long tabby fur.

pineapple tastes like how being kicked in the balls feels, except good. and in your mouth.

What kind of pineapples have you been eating, because the last one I ate didn't taste anything like that.

Or, alternatively, who's been kicking you in the balls? And can I have their phone number?
