In that email about Trump blowing Bubba, the actual point was to ask whether Putin had the picture.

And it was asked so casually that it seemed like it was the normal course of things to leak incriminating pictures to the Kremlin.

I think people should rate things consistently, and both of those criteria in the post are fairly subjective. Like, they could both vary based on your mood.

Here’s my 3-star rating system, which is less subjective:

*** I would happily watch this movie again, or I have already enjoyed it multiple times.

** It wasn’t bad, but I don’t see myself watching it again.

* I would refuse to watch this again, or I turned it off because I couldn’t watch it once.

Of course, it’s not perfect. Movies like Dear Zachary would be forced to be 2 stars. But for the most part, since star reviews are to help people decide what to watch, if the criteria is whether or not people would want to watch it a lot, I think the intentions line up with the implementation better.

The only reason anybody should listen to a celebrity’s political opinion is if that celebrity has shown some political expertise or astute political insight in the past.

Celebrities are not better than other people. They often have one thing they’re good at, and are ridiculously stupid outside of that area. And often, they don’t even have that one thing they’re good at.

The word “robot” can be defined in many different ways, and that affects whether this has already happened, or how soon it may happen in the future.

If robot means remote controlled machine, think Battle Bots, or if it means something with a robotic arm, then it’s probably already happened.

If robot means human shaped machine, then I’d guess if it hasn’t happened yet, if only because of the expense.

If robot means sensors, processing, and actuators, like I learned in school, then I’m guessing it hasn’t happened yet, simply because it’s more work than a machine that follows a routine, but I could easily be wrong.

If robot means fully functional human sized android type robot with integrated processing then who knows? If it also requires AI, then I’m guessing it’s a ways off.

I’m pretty sure that I’d remember if someone cut off my ear, unless, hmm… What if I had a lobotomy and don’t remember?

Thanks. RIP Mitch Hedberg.

Van Gogh cut off his external ear, but I never heard somebody say that he couldn’t hear from that side anymore.

(I forget which comedian I stole this from)

Supervillains are in charge of everything, so they’ve made it illegal to be a superhero.

It just goes to show how DC Comics authors needed to read 1984. There is no way that a group of supervillains would call themselves the Legion of Doom.

IRL, the biggest villains label themselves as if they’re good guys. That’s why the name of the Nazi party says they’re socialists. If the Legion of Doom were a real thing, they’d call themselves something like the Board of Peace.

Lighting can cause fires. Electric shorts can cause fires.

Edit: That was supposed to be “lightning.” But lighting can also cause fires, so I guess it isn’t that bad of a typo.
