  • Which is why it should only be used for art.

    I don’t believe the billionaire dream of robot slaves is going to work nearly as soon as they’re promising each other. They want us to buy into the dream without telling us that we’d never be able to afford a personal robot, they aren’t for us. They don’t want us to have them. The poors are slaves, they don’t get slaves. It’s all lies, we’re not part of the future we’re building for them.





  • “Ain’t” is okay, but I only use it in quotes, that is, when quoting a character. Formal writing should not include slang, unless quoting.

    But this is not formal writing, so “ain’t” is acceptable. It’s not improper word use like “loose” for “lose”, or “you’re” when “your” is correct based on context. It’s like writing “gonna” instead of “going to”. Or “y’all”, instead of “all of you”, because we don’t have a plural pronoun for “you”.








  • I only got about five groups last year, maybe 15 kids total.

    I noticed a couple of days ago that the Halloween candy was out at Walmart, but I didn’t check prices. If this is accurate, then, yeah, porch light off this year. It’s not even worth putting out a pumpkin. Also, I’d end up eating the leftover candy, so that’s not good either.

    If homemade cookies weren’t shunned, then I’d do that, but I can’t imagine parents letting their kids eat them. The fearmongers have won.
