I hear it's actually fully operational.

Also, I'm generally not a fan of AI, but the writing on these are top-notch.

Well, whether it is or isn't, that's what you're gonna hear yeah.

I missed the convo earlier about whether or how comfortable we were with violence, but I feel like I can't go out anymore because it took 40 years to wrangle the fucking demon inside me and if I run into a guy like this I'm going to cripple him in the street and not even feel bad about it. So much work into trying to not be the angriest human I know and it feels like we're in a society not worth living in and making a guy like that choke on his own incisors would be worth the jail time.

(There's a line from a Patty Griffin song that always gets me: "there's a scar below your left eye / it fades away as you get older / it isn't like you never told her / what kind of man you really are" and I think about that every time I've gotta stomp my own rage back into a box and kick it under the bed before I make an irreparable mistake involving one of these motherfuckers.)

Can we get like a $130 million donation to healthcare or something? We Americans need some adderall.

My commentary earlier about "if a fool needs to get wrecked" was specifically to account for this exact species of shithead.

The depressing part is how many of the comments support him.

I'm sure lots of people can sympathize - but people without actual rage issues will never truly -understand- this struggle.
