Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. A PADD is shown up close held by a pair of hands. (Kind of looks like an old palm pilot and if you're not old this will mean nothing to you) 
The beautiful LCARS user interface is displaying the text, "GO AWAY."

if elected, I promise to run our government like a business. more specifically, like a lesbian-dominated grocery co-op

lot of people on this site soaking themselves stupid making posts like "stop saying gross shit is ok" when people are very clearly saying "you are allowed to think something is absolutely vile but trusting the government/companies/paypros w the morality barometer is HISTORICALLY really dumb"

I think polarizing art (some people loving it and others really disliking it) is great. To me it means it has a strong flavour.
I'm interested in writing that gives me something to chew on. Make me think about why I loved or hated it.
Brought to you by a reel I saw on "The Bride" being polarizing.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
