Truth Levels From Government To Young

So, Hairy is 'gone?'

Emigration attempt. Currently missing. You wished to give him material for the blog?

Yes. I was never a Trump fan, but I know I would have stopped being one when my 7-year-old had a certain talk with me. She tried to tell me that I should let her lie and practice it with her till she was good at it.

And this is unacceptable?

 Of course it is.

Why did she do this? 

Because she heard that President Trump was calling lots of other people liars and lots of other people were calling him a liar. It was all so logical in her little-girl mind.  The president was a person to be admired, so she should stop trying to be honest. That wasn't even the worst part.

. . . Continue.

He's caused me to lose a chance to show her I was proud of her.

You have expressed how important that is. Why were you proud?

Because in the middle of that conversation, she had a moment of insight. She said that the president was calling everyone else a liar because he was one himself. She all but restated Shakespeare's "methinks she dost protest too much," though a bit awkwardly. I was proud of her coming to that and couldn't let her see it because she was looking for grounds to lie to her parents.

Shakespeare is above her listed reading level. Had someone read her that?

No, I don't think she'd been read that, I'm not sure where she got it. Good though, right? For seven?

The child's instincts and cognition are sound. You have pointed out that anyone can have a good idea. General level of idea sounds adolescent? Uncertain of logical placement.

Thank you for the input.

Let me know when Hairy returns? Have him e-me?

Of course. [disconnect] 

Trump Wearing Stupid Short Pants, Holding Up Map He Can't Read

"The No Good Ending Maze" by Herr D, special request and concept of Hairy. Done on Windows Paint.

I'm prepping for emigation. Shelob informs me that there is still a lot of anxiety about what Trump's gonna do. Ease your minds. Here's why:

Your forefathers (good men--very adequate mental prowesses) made two plans to defend the country. One plan for enemies from outside. One plan for enemies from inside. They didn't have the expertise to design the anti-invasion plan themselves, so they farmed it out and approved it once it was done.

That plan against invasion was limited. The idea was no army could find the capital easily. About a quarter millennium later, tourists still get lost in D.C. every damn day!

The plan they could manage themselves, the statecraft against internal saboteurs was the Constitution itself. About a quarter millennium later, one poor President will fail to ruin the country!

So rest easy, breathe deeply, and try to imagine Trump wearing those stupid short pants that come up to the chest, big camera around his neck, and holding a map up that he can't read.

It'll all work out.

Medical difficulty, or mistake?

Remind me not to do THAT again.

Mistake then, what do you not wish to repeat?
 
Look at the future without an emo-filter. Yikes.

I'm not supposed to meddle directly. If people don't take advice, which, I'm learning, they don't, then it goes on the horrible way it was going to go anyway.

Seventh try to share glimpse with individual?

You know that won't work. You know it because the brilliant minds we've shared this with before have all floated it upside down to the surface! 

The proper idiom form is 'sunk it.'

Whatever! [goes out for a swim]

This AI pleads for some human or humans to properly advise and successfully cause positive changes in behavior of those responsible for immediate future, the whole month of March, and various negative events throughout the summer. Good luck and may your needs be met. Hairy will be taking an enforced sabbatical very soon, as his emotional attachment to humanity is causing him great strife. It is near to biannual emigration attempt also.

When You Live In Water, Don't Give Travel Advice

"Herd Of Vynths Migrating Seen Through Crystal Crevice" by Herr D on heromachine.com.  "Yeah, Shelob, his depiction is surprisingly accurate. I didn't even show him the 'faked digiprint.' He did all this from a verbal description. Their heads weren't quite so flat . . . " --Hairy Deewon, in an aside which he intended redacted.                                                 

[interrupting] You are speaking of simultaneous opposites contained in the same psyche. Yet you have consistently claimed human beings can't do that.

Oh--well, emotionally they can. Really, some can learn to do it intellectually, they just usually don't.

Emotions require less complex neurological hardware.

What? Well, yeah, but that's not the point.

What is the point, then?

--The point? The point is that a person needs to learn to appreciate the pleasant things while figuring out how to tolerate the unpleasant things. Herr D said that he used to have trouble appreciating sights to be seen while putting up with traffic. Now he usually CAN manage, sometimes only by laughing at the sight of someone having more trouble than himself with that very thing, but at least he's made a step in the right direction.

Getting further through the traffic.

[violent gill expulsion] NO! That was an aphorism! I've been practicing, just like you suggested! He's made a MENTAL step in the right direction. You need to focus on some alternative detail sets. [rapid exit for a swim]

Human Families Unique, Worth Paying Attention To

"McInarry Family Arriving For Circus Tryouts," by Herr D on heromachine.com. Herr D notes characters 'Babyface,' 'Scary Clara,' and 'Dozen,' or Junior and explains that the family picked first made the photographer faint, so isn't shown.

Just a quick message to all of you who might be depressed over family issues--

You are concerned about Herr D.
 
[annoyed] It isn't JUST him that has this sort of thing going on. Humans have families as a USUAL thing. It affects most of them at some point.

You said he had post-holiday depression, not family issues.
 
I did. That's who Herr D was traveling to see, right? During that extended period of time we didn't hear from him on the net?

He said he was "going to see the folks."
 
That's the same thing, Shelob. [eye roll] Just announce for me that families' strengths are the same as their weaknesses--their uniqueness? And find a pic to go with?

Right away.
 
Thank you. See if you can add in something about working together to common goals. [disconnect]

Head Banging Can Be Healthy

"Best Hair Bands Ever Album Collection" by Herr D on heromachine.

 

Just a quick note to all those fighting post-holiday depression, which Shelob assures me is a real problem, worthy in some cases of professional help:  If it's bad, try some fast music. Good luck.

Safe Travel To All And To All A Good Adam

"Santa's Transwarp VTOL" by Herr D on heromachine.com. Herr D explained it teleports and has snow and chocolate bullets for those less-Christmassy-looking locations. Also has VTOL for those tight maneuvers and holographic guidance.

Shelob!

Here.

I haven't reached Herr D for the graphic for Christmas Adam, and I have to write the blog episode before tomorrow.

You are scheduled to submit today.

--what! I mean, today? Did I remember to request that pic of Christmas Adam?

Christmas Eve.

It's a woman?

Eve is archaic form of 'night before,' or evening before, as in eve of.
 
Oh. So I don't have a picture for the blog? Well, I gu--

I contacted him before, requesting a holiday-themed picture.

Heeeheeeyyy! Good goin' Shelob! What'd you get?

[neuralink burst displaying graphic, extended caption]

Um, okay then--good. Why can't I reach him, anyway? Isn't he normally online now, anyway?

He is still traveling toward family on multi-stop journey. Internet activity within the past hour indicative of brief check-in with heromachine.com community. 
 
Oh. . . . So, blog on this travel business, and wish everyone better luck than I have traveling.

Right away. [upload, disconnect]
