“Well those cameras don’t grow on trees you know! Leave it to the libtards to get mad when something costs money!”

In other news, a Mafia gunman who shot up a Brooklyn soup kitchen, killing 13, says he’s not sorry, because it had ties to the Catholic Church, “which is not really an organisation you can say is innocent.”

Easy to correct - just keep the Skipper in the center of the boat. Gilligan’s pull is negligible.

Quantum nav… awww man, for a second I thought The Orville was back!

Wait, what’s with the rational thinking! We’re supposed to hate Debian now because any approach that isn’t zero-tolerance to AI is evil. Security will escort you out now.

Maybe they aren’t “going after” anybody; I mean this is just a medical reality. Nobody needs to swig water constantly, and kids don’t need a juice box every two hours. And wipe your feet, I just scrubbed this floor!

Bursting into flames is the robot equivalent of spiking a football in the endzone.

Backup excuses:

“This is the War Department not the Supplies Department.”
“We had to avert a potentially disastrous Liberal Media panic.”
“Hey, look over there - illegal Mexicans!”

I guess most phone users aren’t bothered by this

Because all I need to know is if my battery looks low enough to worry about, like the gas tank gauges on most cars. Nobody needs to see the exact number of gallons or liters of fuel they have left. “Close to F great, middle fine, close to E bad” has been doing the trick for well over a century. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with people who like seeing an exact battery percentage, but it really isn’t necessary.

Bingpot! Features trump objections, which is how any industry knows it doesn’t really have to listen to users all that much. Deep down, addicts really don’t care if their heroin is ethically sourced from sustainably managed small-lot producers.
