Lol Logitech has already tried.

For the first one, you can use a smaller boom.

Artillery?

It’s even worse than that. The banana isn’t the actual thing valued at that price. It’s the exhibit, an abstract arbitrary concept. The banana and duct tape get replaced periodically. This person is just eating a banana for the attention.

What have you done?

Still better than my mother in law’s.

Oh yeah, the presence of this particular mindset is a lot more prevalent here on Lemmy, unfortunately. I call it the “Russian troll farm mentality.” Frankly, I find disingenuousness is less discomforting than outright delusion, because it means they know they’re full of shit. The delusional are just depressing.

There’s an important distinction. Pence was just an old school Republican who spent most of his career when they were still sane pieces of shit. They picked him because he was an actual politician to lend credibility to the crazy.

And ultimately, the dude chose country over party. We can give the guy shit for tons of stuff, but he still made the right call at the end of it.

Couch fucker was specifically chosen because he’s none of those things. Which is way, way worse.

Probably as “inconspicuous” storage. If you’ve got a bunch of other garden gnomes around, this’ll look just like one of them.

Is it a clever idea? Did it work? Well, we’re reading about it…

No, it’s a comic

Well done, op. This is fuckin terrible.

On the flip side, there’s no reason to assume an artificial intelligence will share the same priorities as a human being.

I’m not fearmongering AI here (I, for one, welcome our future ai overlords). But we don’t really escape the issues of ethics with artificial intelligences. They’re still intelligent.

Oh good! There’s a bizarro me out there that’s still capable of feeling feelings! Good for them!

Instructions not clear. Croissant too runny and crunchy.

Next time will use heating method to cook the egg and remove the shell beforehand.

Why don’t you get back to us in January?

It was the BLURST OF TIMES?!?

Wait, what did Dave Coulier do?

You’re also missing a major part, donorship. These picks aren’t incompetence as it looks at first glance. They’re deliberately picked for regulatory capture. They’re going to burn it down from three inside.

Look at Dr. Oz. He got picked because of his wife’s family, the Asplundhs. They’re going to fuck up healthcare far worse than you expect.

That’s because there wasn’t any law against it at that time. Now we’ve got the 22nd amendment.
