  • A trial attorney? I could see it she wanted to be like a corporate attorney or real estate or something, where your character as a person isn’t relevant. How is she going to empanel a jury without potential jurors having preexisting feelings about her trustworthiness? “Yeah, she seems sincere, but remember that time on her reality show where she was faking tears for sympathy?”

    I don’t know her, or how competent she would be at trial, and anyone can be anything they want to be. But also, recognize that choices have consequences. Maybe trading dignity for fame and fortune means you don’t get to live any dream you like.






  • Yeah, but like a four foot turkey with sharp teeth and talons. I’m not sure I win that fight.

    Like, I’m pretty sure I could beat up a 10 year old kid. That’s about the size (if not the strength) of a velociraptor. But if that kid is all coked up, has kitchen knives in each hand and a football helmet with razors on the face mask, I’m not nearly as confident. Then if there’s a second one waiting to attack from the flank, then fuck that.



  • Yes, but will they be able to capture the true narrative complexity of asking a desk toy to provide randomized platitudes and admonisitions? How can they please the built-in hardcore fans without alienating the newcomers who don’t have an encyclopedic understanding of the extensive lore? Will they tackle some of the more problematic canon events that have aged poorly in a more enlightened society? Or will they gloss over those moments and modernize the deep mythology on which the intellectual property is based and risk abandoning the edge that made it popular in the first place?

    Concentrate and ask again

    Fuck.




  • When wireless charging was announced, every layperson out there started imagining their homes filled with powerful waves of harmless energy that would keep their devices charged and eliminate the need for all wires. People thought we could have LED bulbs that pull volts out of the air and provide light for your dining room.

    Wireless charging is slightly more convenient than plugging your phone in to a usb c. But it’s also slower. I have a wireless charger next to a wired charger, and 90% of the time I plug in because it’s faster, and I can still use my phone while it charges.




  • Oh yes, I’m with you on flannel shirts. I have one, and it’s warm and soft and my wife likes to cuddle me while I’m wearing it. But it’s relatively new. In my grunge era, I had some ratty, worn flannels that I threw away when I sold out.

    Also, I have a lot of black tee shirts, but I wear other colors, too.
