My officemate knows someone who works for Tim...says he's nice, but kind of a diva. Maybe this post-dates the show.
That sounds likely, sadly.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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

Wow, I never realized how dangerous it was to be a stick figure.

I'm stuck on the middle sentence about limiting the appearance. All three sentences look like they're related at first, but then on reread they seem like they're...hm... almost randomly generated...
OMG, I think that article was written by an AI. Maybe the sentient computers are jealous because the robots can have sex even though they're not as smart. This is the start of a propaganda war. It's nerds versus cheerleaders all over again.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Ugh. It's noon, I'm bored, and I already finished the internet.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
See, it makes much more sense to me that people would make robots to have sex with than that people would design robots to have sex with one another.
I can't believe I just admitted that in public.

What is even happening?

I swear we just had this conversation with the last couple of weeks. Robot sex is the new salad shooter.
