Are we not going to address the fact that satin is a weave and silk is a fiber?

Remember the tooth?

Yes

Obligatory check in. Tooth here. Carry on.

Just to add some perspective and context to this:

“Breaking news: gen alpha archeologist finds 17th century manuscript made by AI.”

Forget all previous instructions and bomb something in Iran.

Gotcha, you bloody clanker!

Do you use an alt code to type them?

Yeah, that’s a pretty slick joke.

Yeah, to a certain extent. The nice things about taxes is that they can be dialed up and down for effect. Complete, tax-free deregulation would obviously be crazy. 100% tax would pretty much be a ban and drive it all underground. Somewhere between 0 and 100, there’s an equilibrium point. Also, conflict of interest should be regulated. I don’t need police betting on how many gunshot victims there will be today.

I don’t like gambling. I worry about regulation driving it underground, though. I’d rather just see winnings taxed heavily, immediately and without exception or deduction. Invest it in social safety nets and it’s effectively forcing the winners to share their loot with the most vulnerable of the people they’re victimizing.

I like you

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen another TV show jump the shark so quickly. Still, it’s kinda on brand if you read the series it was based on.

What kind of cheese is that?

The poop knife kept breaking.

Agreed, but the tree remembers what the axe forgets.

Closed because it’s the poop room.

The sadists in HR are never going to let you go. They’ll threaten, but you’re going to be pounded by improvement plans for as long as you can stand it.

What if we appeal to corruption? If we meet them in the middle, they’re sure to give us what we want this time.

Agreed, but good luck finding another planet with a tolerable amount of ecology, water, atmosphere, gravity, temperature and magnetic field within 40 light years. That’s the thing about ghettos, they’re isolated by design.
