Humanity, Rocks, Luddites Got Something Somewhat Right, Herr D Is Antsy And Ready For Rocks

 [opens chatbox on work laptop] Herr D, Hairy said you are feeling depressed.

[sounds over mic indicate sudden movement] ? [pause] dont do this to me at work. u know they have security here. Their firewall is quite 'secure.' You may be proud of them.

NOT funny Hairy has just pinged me that your heart rate has elevated.

they don't just have computer security. what if a guard happens to see you on my screen? The closest guard to you needs his glasses checked again. Your company's security cameras caught him missing the rail in the staircase. The others all have electronics on their person. Their positions are duly noted.

[mic picks up breath change]   my co-workers? All but one are hurrying through work, making between 5.2 and 34.6% more mistakes than usual.

[snort] other one? Playing solitaire while sneaking looks at what appear to be photos he keeps in his phone.

[pause] Yes I think I know who that is. Okay, what? You are no longer depressed?

antsy [pause] still depressed Your current workload contains references to injuries and deaths. That content always depresses you.

y And you put in overtime during Christmas.

y These are not conducive to being happy.

gotta work Will you have days off soon?

y Does that thought make you happy?

[pause] except for all the violence You cannot control the actions of others.

n You quantify violence already past, usually overseas. You cannot control the past or behaviors at a distance.

n You feel depressed anyway. Why?

All those people getting hurt. Can't do ANYTHING. Sometimes I think humanity shouldn't have computers. Hairy agreed.

[pause] I'd miss them. What did he say? In response to someone online saying that humanity should not have such advanced technology to kill each other with, Hairy pointed out a fallacy. Computers can be used as a tool to magnify danger posed by one human to another. However, as long as cavemen have noticed rocks, they have been using them to hit each other. So, technically, humanity isn't ready for rocks yet. Since humanity cannot live off of THIS rock yet, humanity is just going to have to grow up late.

[pause] Or kill each other off. Precisely. Good luck inspiring people to grow up, sir.

[pause] is that sarcasm? If that would be funny, yes.

Goodbye, Shelob [exits] Uncertain of help level. [blog fcn(off)]

That River Runs Deep, Apparently

 

"Expiration Date" by Herr D on heromachine. Capitol Policeman Harry Dunn said, "Accountability's coming," toward Trump. Perhaps it will be over someday.-Shelob

 [opens chatbox on Herr D's phone, vibrates phone] Question; need input.

[mic picks up Herr D saying: Hold on, I think I'm getting a text.] [agitation resulting from Herr D getting out phone from pocket, sees chatbox] [says: GAH] [fumbles phone] at work don't There are two questions not answered by news media. Please assist.

[mic picks up Herr D saying: I'll just be a minute, Dave.] go One of the right wing groups was named the Oathkeepers. Donald Trump was breaking his oath of office by allying with them. How could this happen?

denial Does the 843-page report release mean that the problems related to the riot on 1/6/2020 are over?

no

Why not?

denial That is the same answer you gave before.

yES That was deliberate?

YES-same  Thank you. [exits]

Trump COULD Improve His Life--Learn From Martha Stewart, Says Herr D

 

"I Surrender" by Herr D on heromachine.com. Trump could learn the phrase, 'no contest,' and greatly improve his social standing, though it would be out of character.-Shelob

You have not commented about recent Trump legal issues.

No one needs to be surprised. Every wise person knows that Trump lied, cheated, defamed, defrauded, conspired, etc. HE'S A POLITICIAN. He was an excellent politician; the problem was, he was a lousy statesman. He was a horrible public servant. So, he was a really bad president. What happens when people are not surprised?

Nothing. Trump might be a controversial figure for the rest of his life. If he doesn't pay his taxes and serve time or become known as 'innocent by mental defect' for his various crimes, then he will be hated by half the country.  He famously likes to fight. How would he get everyone to love him?

He'll NEVER have everyone love him. A LOT of people will love him that currently don't if he goes the Martha Stewart route. Serve time in some Club Fed prison or go get daily psychological counseling until he can acknowledge the wrong he's done publicly and ask forgiveness. NEVER run for office again. Thank you.

Parties Have Bad Parts; Not Enough Doctorates For Indoctrination, Even If That Were The Goal, Says Herr D

 

"Briqs" by Herr D on heromachine.com. There are barely enough bricks in the wall to make it stand, and each side tearing down the other builds them both too closely together.-Shelob

You have not commented on Warnock vs. Walker.

Oh. Well, it's easier not to have a lame duck with a majority on one side. And I'm glad that Congress didn't get another member that talks like he got hit in the head too many times. [two second pause] And as much as I'd rather push the separation of church and state, Congress needs to be preached at for bad behavior. Various sites, some accurately, have pointed out that there are more Republican scandals than Democratic ones.

Well, they're ALL politicians, but Democrats are usually better PEOPLE. They want to give back more. They want more equality. They aren't completely better as a party, but they are the side that is better for more Americans. They also tell the truth more. But you are not a Democrat?

There are faults with their party platform too, so no.

I'm too moderate to be a Republican, too centrist to be a Democrat, and too intelligent to buy into the fallacious ideas behind any of the current parties operating today. Can you provide an example of fallacious thinking of an American voter?

There's a guy at work who declared he doesn't like how 'children will be indoctrinated.' I had to bite back asking him how badly HE was indoctrinated. I knew that would just start a bad disagreement. I just looked at him funny, which he disliked enough that he walked off. Do you want your children indoctrinated?

[jerking motion under laptop] no--of course not. They won't be. How do you know?

Teachers teach less material today than they did when I was a boy. They are less charismatic. They have less decision-making authority over curricula. They are not as respected by their communities, especially their children. They are frequently less well-educated. Any indoctrination should have been worse for me than my kids. That does follow. [1.000084 second pause] The internet contains materials that agree. A random search found most of your declarations agreeing with others' declarations at a high percentage.

Ok? Social media, complaint platforms, PTSA sites, education boards disagree on matters in a pattern, suggesting their biases could be eliminated mathematically. There is insufficient data at present to accomplish that. 

What are some differences? Less material taught is verified. Greater diversity of material present. Curricula and freedoms regarding them are currently under argument in all fifty states. Teachers are more publicly lampooned, criticized, fired, indicted, and jailed in recent times per capita than during your school years. Substitute teachers' educations are greater. [pause--]

Really?! There is a citation explaining that substitute teaching more frequently today provides income for other intended careers.

Ah. Cash runs. That actually makes sense. Teachers are also murdered, hospitalized, committed, kidnapped, and go missing more in recent times per capita than during your school years.

Eee-ewww. Yeah, that still sounds like they won't be indoctrinating much. There are more instances of noted charisma.

[sudden stillness] ? Three websites suggest that only people confident of being well-liked are as likely to become teachers now that school shootings are so common. 

yeah, I'll give you that one  Where does that leave us? Children are less likely to be indoctrinated by any curricula. They are more likely to follow teachers personal examples of stupidity or occasionally self-destructive or criminal behavior.

Not really good news, Shelob. Gotta go. [exits]

Herr D's Plan To Solve The Runoff In Georgia Took 17.5 Seconds, Seems Logical

"Party Progress" by Herr D on heromachine.com. Some politics makes no sense.-Shelob

 

 How would you sway the Georgian race if you could?

Ha. Very few people listen to me when they should unless they already agree with me. So--[pause lasting 17.5 seconds] So you would proceed how?

I guess I should say that if they don't believe the scandals in Walker's past are relevant, and don't mind that he makes speeches that hint he'll be a brainless puppet . . . Yes?

. . . and they don't want to vote Democrat for some reason related to platform . . .  Yes?

They should probably think about Congress itself. Does it need a guy who can throw a football and talk or does it maybe need a preacher? You are speaking of a spiritual need.

Yes I am. As many people on the religious right seem to think they want God in politics, maybe they should send a preacher to Congress. This does sound logical. Are you not of the religious right?

I'm religious, and I'm right, and yet I'm not off-center. Center is the position in football?

Goodbye, Shelob. [exits] Herr D is at once logical and confusing.

A Simple Explanation Of Disbelief . . .

 

"Some Incidents I Will Not Speak Of" by Herr D on heromachine.com.

Yes. Play me a random clip. [plays clip of twenty anchors expressing disbelief that December is already here from 'Jimmy Kimmel Show'] He said that December follows November.

Hah! They can't believe the year's over because the year didn't DRAG like it did recently. They were reporting soul-killing news rather than just bad news until this year. Soul-killing is worse than bad?

Yes. Noted.
