a shower—or sonic shower, sanisteam or turboshower—a bath—or sonic bath or ripple bath

You can't just add sci fi words to a thing and pretend it's a new thing!

Knowing too much and at the same time not enough about Romans is also a big red flag.

We call this the "marble statue avatar valley"

I think this is the endpoint of any individualistic liberal democracy. Most people don't engage with politics most of the time, and historically the way that political movements got around this was by embedding themselves into the people's lives and giving them a lens through which to think of politics when they did. But in America our workplaces are thoroughly depoliticized, other groups that a person might belong to have been eviscerated, and the few political formations we have left at the smaller level (shit like HOAs and megachurches) were designed from the jump to be pretty much irredeemably fascist. So the average person has no lens through which to interpret politics, and just shoots their opinions from the hip while reacting to the most immediate material conditions impacting their life.

Anyway I expect the rest of the presidents in my lifetime to be one term wonders (even if they're nonconsecutive).

I've got a butterfly knife bottle opener that I carry around. Flipping it is fun and hey if I get a Mexican Coke I can open it.

I've often fantasized about turning into some kind of avenging seraphim and blasting Washington DC with beams of heavenly retribution.

Why is China able to issue USD bonds at competitive rates to the US Treasury? Is it just because they have so many USDs lying around?
