It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Unknowingly walked in on Eucharistic adoration. Not exactly my thing but it's nice and quiet in the heart of the city. I guess I'll read the Psalms (AND put down my phone!)

sheer circadian need,

An augmented tanka (one extra line)

Strange love language shaped by the

Yes. This.
Again, the question of whether abusive language and behavior toward a non sentient thing that resembles a human is neutral or bad is not about whether it harms the object, but whether it malforms the human and causes them to treat other humans worse as a result.

Yes. This.

The part of Orwell's 1984 that everyone forgets is how human music has been replaced by soulless, machine-generated pop songs. The AI attempt to take over the film and music industries is an attack on the human spirit. Boycott AI actors. Boycott AI bands. Support human artists.
