Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is the tempurpedic all that the infomercial promises?
That's a very subjective question. In my experience, probably not. I still get pinched nerves and stuff, which annoys me. It's nice, though.

I was talking to someone recently who used to work for Tim Gunn, and she said he was just boring.
I refuse to believe that! I didn't ask my friend about meeting Tim Gunn (which I assume she did) because I just met her and didn't want to scare her with my fangirlishness. Also, I didn't want to hear anything that would shatter my illusion of him as the Perfect Mentor/All Around Great Guy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is it a Sealy Posturepedic morning?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My officemate knows someone who works for Tim...says he's nice, but kind of a diva. Maybe this post-dates the show.

That's a bummer. I'm still deciding whether to, uh, spring, for a new mattress, and was hoping you would confirm the wonderfulness of it all.

“People are going to be having sex with robots within five years,” he said. So should limits be set on the appearance, for example, of such robotic sex toys?
OK, the article is mostly not about human/robot sex....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds likely, sadly.

Diva-ish I can dig (as long as also Nice). Boring, not so much. I have standards for my Pretend Gay Boyfriends.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
These two thoughts:
“People are going to be having sex with robots within five years,” he said. So should limits be set on the appearance, for example, of such robotic sex toys? The greatest danger, however, is likely to lie with robots that are able to learn from their “experiences”
...do not seem as connected as their placement in that paragraph would imply.
