MORE allowance will lower withholding - check.

I've had my federal at 2 since I started at my present company by accident, and I've never bothered to change it. I end up paying some taxes every year, but I'd just a soon it came to me during the year instead of early the next (my state return usually is a little bit more so I do get money back when I do all my taxes).

I should change mine to 2, I guess. I never get a lot back, but I'd still rather have it during the year. But, like amych, I never really knew for sure which was which.

Fifty degrees is too cold for flip-flops, huh? I just got a pedi yesterday, and I want to wear flip-flops! Oh, well. Sounds kind of windy, too. Woe.

I see that today is going to be the kind of day where I do everything I completely spaced on doing yesterday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The show used examples of toddler helping strangers by picking stuff up that they were reaching ineffectively for. The comparison was inherently flawed, since by the time a human has worked out how to solve the chimp problem (and those chimps were slick) the morality issue would be clouded by so many other variables.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Immoral or amoral? I would tend to think amoral simply because at 8 or 9 do children have moral standards?

Amoral is what I mean.

Well now how are we to discuss the differences between the two and at what age one starts to comprehend societal standards if you're just gonna say, "That's what I meant"? Where's bon bon????

Today is like Monday. But midweek, so even more distressing.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ha! I'm sorry. I've been trained out of trying to speak intelligently about morality. I figure it's Not My Problem.

No shit.

The show I was watching was conflating cooperation with sentience, and marking chimps down one because they'd only cooperate if there was something in it for them. We're all moralled up because sometimes we'll just help, apparently. Maybe we're just playing a longer game than the chimp.
