Oh hi.
That last point is really interesting. Conservatives and right-wingers can’t grasp that other people don’t think like they do. I remember during the January 6th insurrection how all the people doing it really seemed to believe they would be seen as heroes. It’s like they had no idea over half of the US didn’t agree with them.
It’s rare to find a community that doesn’t corrupt the original itent it was built around. Look at organized religion. Doesn’t speak well to humanity in general I’m afraid.
I vaguely remember that they were being held captive and the devices would punish them for misbehaving. Like, some guy lived with a bunch of female robot slaves or something and the episode ended with him having to live with a robot version of his deceased henpecking wife? Shit I don’t know, it’s been like 30 years since I watched the original series…

What that is?
So find someone who looks like they want to eat me?
That’s some tasty retro-nerdiness.
They are all trying. I’m honestly not sure yet whether it will work. I hope so.
It’s the website I literally clicked to from the link in your comment. :D
I use it all the time and it’s great. I’m kind of wondering the same thing now…
I work for a plant that prints local papers. They are an invaluable source of local news, and you are correct, the internet is slowly killing them. It’s a real loss for civic engagement. People really need to pay attention to what’s happening locally. National stories are sexier, but we actually have much more control over what happens in our own neighborhoods and towns.
Please tell me you aren’t getting your news from Disney. But seriously, a halfway decent local paper is probably more worth your attention than the latest attention grabbing headline at the NYT. Good choice.
This is like poetry. Also, are you frickin spying on me?
Not even so much that, I just think at a certain critical mass the law of averages kicks in and you just kind of get… the status quo. Like, a good share of people are decent, another good share are so-so, another good share are kind of nasty. So, put all that together and you get something that looks a lot like humanity in general: always just slightly disappointing.
