@futurebird 1 Trillion kwatloos. But you have to sign a contract to spend 1.1 Trillion kwatloos to buy all the infrastructure from me. Up front.

@futurebird @sewblue We had something like that here... taper relief.But I think your formulation is slightly different and would work better than the setup we had.

@futurebird It's as if their own biology pulls a Cordyceps on them.

@futurebird If legibility is woke, clearly (pun intended) they should go the whole hog and mandate π±ππππππ πΜΜπππ π¬ππππ.

@futurebird Was meeting up with my sister and some friends.Someone commented that we both ate fast, and she said she didn't know why."It's because you had to finish first to guarantee you'd get seconds.""Oh, so you're the reason I eat fast.""Excuse me, I was already there - you're the reason _I_ eat fast."The other people there turned out to ghave been only children.

@futurebird I have given up explaining to my right-wing relatives that yes, they do mean you.

@futurebird I was so pleased when my stripe of evil started fading in... then genetics caught up with me and I went bald. Thanks dad.

@futurebird It's more about in-group vs out-group for the right, I think. If you are "one of us" then excuses will be made/it won't matter/etc. That happens on the left too, but since the left is almost invariably more fractious and splintered the shielding effect is a lot less significant.

@futurebird Billy West (Z's voice actor) says it was a fusion of George Jessel and Lou Jacobi, so a combination of an old vaudeville style voice and a Yiddish one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YtjevK2SW0

@futurebird Professional voice actors are incredible. Have you seen Harry Shearer have a rapid fire conversation with himself between Smithers and Mr Burns? Witchraft, I tells ya. Witchcraft.

@futurebird I'd respond with a few key questions:- In what way is it not working?- Why do you think that is?- If you can see errors, what do they tell you?- How can you find out more about what is or is not happening?And there's the all-important "What are your assumptions, and are they correct?"

@futurebird I would _never_ have the courage to throw such a⦠memorable⦠event. It was definitely a choice.
