    Wait until singularity, we won’t need to think (although many already are incapable of that), never mind exercise!
    Video games took kids out of the yards, even off of the ice. I live where there USED to be pick-up hockey games every weekend. Now, the wind howls solo over the ice, as the kid-men sit gorging themselves into obesity and non-experience. Instead of skating, they are summoning video-elves or shooting at something. 😑

    I mean, I can't tell if Ben Stiller was AI. The problem is this is so on-brand for him as an actor, that debating such is virtually useless.

    GOD. I wish the housing market would improve so this video doesn't apply to me, even down to working part time at a board game store. XD

    Been applying for new stuff. Wish me luck, fellas!

    The term 'man-child' is an oxymoron. Its repetitive. Like saying baby colt. You know they are a child by the identifiier 'man'. When Noam Chomsky defends his relationship with Epstein, wont talk about his time with these people. There is no adult man. We live on a planet of adult children. Idiocracy.
