  When I got my dog at the shelter, they told me two things about him:

  • He liked to eat garbage.

  • He liked being held like a baby.

  He was a good size for it too, about 30 lbs. Big enough for a real hug, but not too heavy to lift comfortably. He would press his neck against mine when I held him - I think that was the way he reciprocated. The funny thing is that he was jealous about my hugs. If I hugged another person, he would whine, stand on his hind legs, and try to push that person away from me with his front legs.

  I’m not a bee, you’re not a bee, so it sounds like a them problem.

  I think that is the most based I have ever seen a machine be. Truly technology is amazing.

  I think you’re making the exact mistake he is asking you not to.

  I would have been spiteful enough to return my new laptop (despite needing it for a trip I had in a couple of days) if I wasn’t able to bypass the account requirement by disabling the wifi.

  A great game if you like gritty fantasy, turn based tactics, and losing.

  Would you like to be a moderate? I’ll propose giving the hogs the assault rifles and you’ll instantly become a moderate.

  I say we cede the country to the pigs. They might do a better job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are old people usually attracted to other old people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re one of several people mentioning shared cultural references, but if you’re male and your partner is female then I’m surprised that she has any interest in things like Thundercats or He-Man regardless of her age. I’m a nerdy heterosexual man, and in my experience practically no women share my interests or hobbies. Therefore my relationships have been built around doing the things that pretty much everyone enjoys - eating a nice meal, going for a walk, talking about current events, playing with pets, etc. A good partner is someone who enjoys doing these ordinary things with me. Maybe someone who does share my interests would be even better but I don’t think finding a person like that is likely enough to be worth trying.

  I wonder why your experience is apparently so different from mine. Am I unusual or are you?

  Just fill your living room with radioactive waste and they’ll come put this sign up for free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are old people usually attracted to other old people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But are you saying that there can be romantic attraction without physical aspects, or are you talking about romantic attraction with fewer physical aspects but more emotional ones?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are old people usually attracted to other old people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean by “emotional attraction”? I enjoy spending time with my good friends, and I would even say that I love them in the way that friends love each other, but I am not attracted to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are old people usually attracted to other old people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see how I could want to date someone who I wouldn’t want to have sex with. The man I mentioned who is no longer attracted to women his age has a person in his life who was his girlfriend when they met 25 years ago and the two of them still enjoy spending time together but they no longer have a physical relationship.

  I can understand how you don’t want to date someone a lot younger than you, although I don’t have any personal experience with that - I’ve never had a partner more than a couple of years younger than I am. However, I’m a man who has had little in common with most of the women I’ve dated, simply because I have little in common with most women. (My hobbies might be crudely called “autistic”.) Thus, for me dating has involved finding women I get along with surprisingly well despite having so little in common.

  Maybe I really wouldn’t enjoy the company of someone a lot younger than me, but the main problems I foresee are that (1) no one like that would want to date me and (2) even if I found someone like that who wanted to date me now then I doubt she would still want to date me when I was old as opposed to just middle-aged.

  Well, the question was probably disingenuous. There may not be any stupid questions but there are questions intended to start arguments about politics.

  Yes, but even Skynet would probably like me better than the average woman does.

  Meeting humans is intolerable, but my hope is that with AI technology advancing as rapidly as it is, soon I will be able to assemble the right robot for me…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that the salute is so offensive, they did it so blatantly, and their denial was so disingenuous is the whole point. It’s a demonstration of power. They can do a Nazi salute and their opponents can’t punish them. They can deny that they did a Nazi salute and their opponents can’t control the narrative. If instead of a Nazi salute, they did something more subtle, then people might think that they weren’t facing any consequences because their opponents were giving them the benefit of the doubt, but with the Nazi salute there is no doubt. Their opponents would do something if they could, and they can’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no benefit to cutting contact as a matter of principle. It won’t impede Trump even a little and it probably won’t change your dad’s political views either. Is he willing to avoid talking to you about politics? Do you enjoy his company when he isn’t talking about politics? If the answers to these questions are “yes” then I see no good reason to hurt him and yourself by cutting contact.

  Chickpeas are my favorite. I enjoy the taste of them right out of the can. They dry ones are also good if soaked overnight in cold water and then eaten without further preparation. They become pleasantly crunchy, like nuts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should have been born a Limited Liability Corporation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m probably going to sound like a space allowing alien, but enough beans to feed a grown man costs two dollars a day. The beans are nutritious and relatively palatable.
