Horrendous, insulting, out of touch phrasing from her as usual too. The democrats spending years propping her up and then stacking the deck in her favor in the primary are why we had Trump as president. She was the only person predicted to lose to him.

I disagree that it’s more economically health for adults to be their children’s dependents than it is for adult children to be dependent on their parents. Those are both equally unhealthy situations.

Why? If you own your own home, then why shouldn’t your kids live with you?

The cards were great, and I thought I would hate them.

The weird childish conversations and activities really killed the game for me. It was funny sort of. But it was like a 2:1 ratio of bullshit to strategic combat.

The ~~rich~~ lower middle class and up aren’t doing anything wrong here. They’re being offered free lunch and their kids are accepting it.

From what I read, it didn’t even just suck, it was practically fraud. They knew how many sales they had and only stood up enough servers to support around 200 players.

Everyone who works on making software is a developer, even people who don’t program at all. people who make art for software work in software development. A “coder” only writes code. It’s more of a task than a job. A software engineer does technical design and probably also codes.

This is what I was very very excited for. The Hubble photos were more exciting because they’re visual spectrum. The James web is all about discoveries.

I remember some really jarring inconsistencies between the robots of dawn and the previous two Elija Bailey books. It really seemed like Asimov didn’t even bother to read his previous books before writing The Robots of Dawn. There were several inconsistencies.

One big one that I remember is that in The Robots of Dawn City residents have salaries and money! Previous books were explicit that there wasn’t money and instead people were given allotments of things based on their position in society. This is a huge change and it’s not acknowledge at all. It’s treated like it’s totally normal to have money in The Robots of Dawn.

Some other differences were smaller, but still made it obvious that Asimov hadn’t read his previous books before writing new ones. For example, Bailey is comforted by the night sky in The Robots of Dawn where in previous books, the night sky made him more disoriented and made him pass out because he could see out into space. It wasn’t meant to show that Bailey had progressed. It was presented as an obvious fact that people of earth would feel more comforted by night skies. There were a lot of small things like this.

You’re pleasant. That’s very tortured logic to avoid the obvious that they’re banning other people from using something that they aren’t willing to ban for themselves.

They don’t do it for alcohol. Kids eventually become adults and old enough to make their own choices and decide to buy alcohol not. This law would ban people born too late from ever being allowed to buy.
