He really does just scream ‘I’m trash!’

Yes, please do.

I love the french, I really do.

Too bad it’s american and I’ll never buy it.

You know it’s bad when rednecks stop acting like rednecks.

I don’t think this is possible. As far as I know, osmium is the densest element. A 355 cc chunk of osmium would only be about eight kilograms. I’m not sure what mass a baby elephant has, but I’m going to assume three of them would be well above eight kilos.

I have no problem with this whatsoever.

How do we know he wasn’t sitting on her pillow though?

This is where skynet starts.

The only definite distinction is that one provides the service, and the other uses the service.

There is absolutely zero requirement for the hardware or software to be different, aside from changing the configuration to perform the desired task.

You can have two exactly identical machines, one can be a DHCP server, and the other a client. The only difference is that one is configured to act as a DCHP server. This doesn’t need different software necessarily, just different settings.

I think a psychologist would say that if you really can’t find common ground, it’s best to agree not to talk about it.

Indoctrination is highly effective. Your parents were raised in a place where toeing the line is the norm and questioning those in power is traditionally a great way to ensure you disappear. Russians are deeply indoctrinated when compared to western nations because that’s how their society has been set up since 1922. The Soviet leadership ruled by suppressing any dissent, violently and without remorse. Just because the Soviet Union no longer exists, doesn’t mean their ways of doing things disappeared too.

The only way to change them would be to engage in an equally sophisticated program of indoctrination: deprogramming as it’s called. Since you lack the resources of the Soviet Union, it would be a much more difficult task, especially since your parents are now older and their brains are less changeable. They were indoctrinated as children and by a very prolific system. Reversing that now, by yourself, is a tall order.

I’m sorry your parents were failed by their leadership, it’s truly a shame.

There are these things called books…

I love it.

If I knew I would regularly get to chill with other people’s cats, I would switch careers now.

I fucking hope so. I cannot wait to watch this burn down around them.

I’m still trying to download that pizza.

Please, let the door hit you on the way out.

Not yet, not necessarily. The further this goes, the closer they come to the point of no return.
