  • It’s not impossible, but it is a far more difficult thing then they want to deal with to have an AI that consistently toes the conservative line, especially when that line can change wildly even in the span of a conversation. Egg prices are too high under Biden but we can’t expect a president to magic them down under Trump. We should be able to have vouchers for religious schools but wait why are the muslims allowed to go to their madrasas? Of course I’d never work in a factory or buy overpriced American products but we should bring back production to the United States. The list goes on.





  • Considering Vince McMahon didn’t know what a burrito was, I’m not particularly surprised.

    Madigan told PWTorch editor Wade Keller: "It’s one of these stories that always repeats itself. I think the idea was they were trying to work an angle with Big Show and - like Andre (the Giant), here’s a guy who is so physically big and physically imposing - what can you do to get over on Big Show? And how are you going to do it?

    "I think they were going to poison Big Show and give him a spiked burrito. The whole concept was: ‘We’re going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.’ So, Vince goes, ‘Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?’ It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, ‘Well, we know what a burrito is.’ And Vince goes, ‘Well, where the hell have I been?’

    “But, the funny thing is, Wade, every day at noon, Vince’s secretary would walk into the office - the writing room - with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that’s the idea - when you’re in a bubble and in a business where you’re ostracized from society, it’s you and them, that’s it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world.”

    I’m sure this one day boycott will be just as effective as the others were.

    If you want results you need to put in time and have a target. Conservatives didn’t boycott beer, they boycotted Bud Light. They didn’t do it for a day, they did it until Bud Light gave up. Say what you will about the “why” of it, but it was effective.





  • While the cause of many woes in our real society might be capitalism, in comic book Gotham its

    • The Illuminati made up of rich folks in the city using zombie dudes to do their bidding (Court of Owls)
    • The multiple Lazarus pits (2? 3? Not 100% there.) likely leaking into the water supply makin folks cray cray
    • The portal to hell under the Sanitarium leaking evil all over
    • The evil bat god trapped under the city also leaking evil all over
    • The evil warlock who was trapped under the city leaking evil all over
    • The evil swamp that spawned Solomon Grundy not too far outta town which probably is doing something

    Like don’t get me wrong… I’m sure socialized housing and the like would help but grand scheme of things? Cities kinda fucked in a way that is far beyond conventional solutions, without a real way to unfuck it.
