Talking About Sex Leads To Dishonesty, Says Herr D; Be Quiet And Procreate More?

 
"Just An Enthusiastic Trim" by Herr D on heromachine.com. Herr D assures that the grass skirt was already dead, and so was not in danger in the usual sense. He has not explained the female's reluctance toward the gardener's assistance. Shelob.

There is a missing topic for you to explain.

Missing? What do you want me to address?
Sex.

[probable choking, from laptop vibration and tilt] Right. Okay. Why don't you ask me questions, and I'll answer what I'm willing to answer?
You address taboos immediately. Please provide examples.

I probably won't tell you anything explicit from my own life. I might not mind generalizing about some OTHERS though. Lots of people have talked to me about it. Some of them probably lied. 
Do lies include 'locker room talk?'

Probably. Boasting at least. I don't frequent locker rooms when I can avoid them.
So you do not talk enough about sex to lie about it?

[pause] I've been told I'm unusually quiet about it. I was raised to consider it gentlemanly to discuss women I've been with only with the next woman.
So each next woman would hear more.

lol, NO. Each woman wanted to hear less than the last.
This does not follow.

When it comes to sex, people would always rather be first or best or have the best partner. The only times I've heard people talk about sex it was either to claim they had more or better than before or complain that they didn't have what they were used to or as much as they were capable or wanted.
Computation results in null set.

Sorry. You probably won't find much accurate stuff about sex online. Kind of like politicians or CEOs estimates of self-worth or irate customer complaints that aren't even quite possible because they're so exaggerated.
So topic not helpful to discuss. [exits]

Our Next Best Hope


You were not supposed to blog directly upon Trump. You may answer my questions for me to publish, however. What is your best hope for Trump, now that he is acquitted?

Please let no one be stupid enough to EVER think of Trump as a victim. He has been mean to everyone for so long that people take it for granted. He is getting what he wants.

People can forgive him, but NO one should excuse him or feel sorry for him. He likes the fights. Let him imagine his victimhood by himself. 

Vote him out. Time for a DIFFERENT president, even another bad one.

God Loves Aliens Too

"Hey, They Promised Me A Ride" by Herr D on heromachine.com.


[excerpted from chat with Herr D]
1. You were never asked how the notion of extraterrestrial life affects your religious beliefs.
2. You have listed your religion as Quaker\Protestant\Christian.
3. A recent article has declared Christianity to be the least capable of alien acceptance.
4. You have not mentioned cognitive dissonance in your entire history of chat with Hairy.

How do you explain this disparity?

[pause, probable snort] Uh, I guess I'd have to say that number three is a bad source. Don't pay any attention to that.

That would resolve the disparity. How do you feel about Hairy?

Don't you think it's a little late to be asking me whether I can accept aliens? I've been communicating with Hairy since 2012?

This article was published online today.

Okay then. I suppose I should start by saying that I don't always believe you. It's easier to believe you when I'm tired. Then there's the fact that I don't take for granted certain things that other people do.

Examples, please.

Just because God created us, does that have ANYTHING to do with what God did elsewhere? A case could be made for God not thinking aliens were any of our business.

A project not being aware of another project. 

Exactly. God didn't promise there would be no aliens. So la de da.

So religion does not necessarily contradict extraterrestrial life?

No.

Clickbait Solution Uncertain; Writers Aren't Good Enough, Says Shelob

 
"Odd Lecture" by Herr D on heromachine.com. Clickbait writing is largely incompetent.--Shelob


You wanted a blog topic? I need to sleep.
Yes.

Why don't you talk about clickbait? There's a lot of it. Here. I'll click on 'new tab' and you can see that, right?
Yes. Proceed.

[pause] Okay, I've put that window over to the right. From what I can see, there's ten.
Screen capture shows ten headings.

[pause] Items 2, 5, 7, and 9 look like ads.
Agreed. Displaying:




How To Secure A Spring Microservices Architecture With OAuth

Say Goodbye To Micromanagement With monday.com

Better, Smarter Home Security


You won't get rid of micromanagement until you get rid of micromanagers.
The website reassigns managers?

No. It compartmentalizes instructions, as far as I know.
[pause for .00000000072 seconds, during analysis] It assists micromanaging. It is a false ad.

Ha. Okay? Run down logical errors in the others?
[pause for .00000006108 seconds, during analysis] Statistical errors in the following: Article 1--

How Japan Eradicated Gun Crime

Like what?
There is no analysis of population size or density to compare quantities of gun-related incidents. There is no analysis of the Iceland exception mentioned in the article. No explanation of why it doesn't fit their theory. There is obvious reporting error concerning the Yakuza. There is no statistical allowance for honor as a cultural value. There are no statistics concerning comparisons of other violent crimes. There IS data (existing, not here,) that suggests that the Japanese people manage to kill more people with blades than the American people do with guns.

Yikes. How about article 3?


How Many Hours Of Sleep Do You Actually Need?  Has insufficient bibliography for reference checks. It also does not appear to correctly address individual need or provide any useful information.

Yikes again. 4?
If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich? Says it references new research. New research is not needed to know the answer to this. Hairy has no money. You have very little. Your bank account is remarkably empty. You have both been alive for more than twenty years.

Yeah, thanks. Does the article mention luck?
Yes.

Does it mention that great salespeople are frequently stupid?
No.

Why would YOU say the correlation isn't there?
You do not live in a meritocracy or anything resembling a culture that rewards intelligence or any other virtue, specifically.

True. Does 6 include anything that poor people couldn't do?
19 Things Future Multimillionaires Do In Their 20's  includes several things that poor people may not be able to do, depending upon how poor they are. Luck is not sufficiently covered in this article.
Do I do the others?
Yes, you did. You even showed the conscientiousness to correct grammar, like the author did not.

So it doesn't work. 8?
Unraveling The Enigma Of Reason spends several paragraphs exploring definitions. Does not appear useful.

Wow. I'm going to bed. Go ahead and publish your criticisms. [exits]

"Already Was A Reprisal" Many Suffered On Both Sides

 ➤⇠
"Opposing forces" by Shelob from available special characters.


So, you have not commented upon the recent assassination of the Iranian general.

No, I haven't.

You have nothing to say about whether he may have been plotting against America?

No, I don't.

You have not commented upon whether it was wise.

I suppose you want me to?

Yes.

Wisdom has nothing to do with 'our current President.' As to this particular action--if there aren't any reprisals, or the reprisals turn out to be less than he would have caused anyway, then it was cagey. I don't know.

Anything else?

Murder is never right. Of course nations do it all the time in their own interests.

Would you approve of the reprisals?

No. But really, this already WAS a reprisal. He'd been killing and maiming Americans for what, decades? He never had to target America. He's lucky he didn't wind up at Guantanamo Bay back when there was (or was more) waterboarding. His family should be grateful the Israelis didn't get him. THEY would've made everyone that cared about him afraid. There would have been no possibility of reprisals because no one would have figured out what happened. He got off easy, dying quickly, unlike the soldiers he sent into battle. Some of them took days to die. Some of the wounded on both sides were never the same. Some of those that suffered at his hands were Iranian.

The real tragedy is that no one involved in this anywhere is mature enough and wise enough to say "I'm out, go away with your bad self and let's just be enemies peaceably."

Thank you. Your oft-quoted philosophy is that 'an eye for an eye means we've all gone blind.'

Peace Is Wisdom, Tolerance Is Strength

Various news sources have indicated that a surprising amount of anti-Semitic violence has happened recently. Please comment if any of the following conclusions or premises are incorrect.

1. Since many of the perpetrators are mentally ill, racial hatred could be called insane, perhaps Munchhausen by proxy.

2. Since the phrase 'threat to our way of life' is frequently present in anti-Semitic, as well as, anti-Muslim propaganda and used to incite violence, the perpetrators should be publicly reminded that their hate crimes have  just made people more likely to follow those religions. This is because the perpetrators have proven to any thoughtful or religious persons that some NON-believers are a.) hateful b.) subnormal or mentally ill c.) undeserving of salvation d.) not smart enough to realize that lovable, warm, and friendly people of the perpetrator's beliefs could win them away from those beliefs considered to be threatening.

3. Hatred in any form when it reaches violence is merely a powerful self-denial of cowardice.

4. Violence toward others besides self-defense or defense of others' physical safety or rescue of casualties of their situation (such as minors in abusive household) is a sign of ultimate weakness.

Trump Declared Additional Reason FOR Own Impeachment: Explained

"Playbeing" by Herr D on heromachine.com.


[Herr D has been chatting heatedly about Trump and requested contact with Hairy.]
Why do you make these requests?

I am offended on a deeper level than normal, considering how he usually is. Can you ping him or something?
 He is unreachable. Have attempted communication 4 times in last 24 hours.

I want permission to mention him explicitly in a blog entry.
Please continue. If conditional exceptions are possible, your blog will post. If not, please consider this free venting opportunity.

Counseling by AI?
Unlicensed, but potentially effective, according to current data.

[pause] Look up Post's quote about 'helping Evangelicals.'
[.0000000000004 seconds pass] "The fact is, no President has ever done what I have done for Evangelicals, or religion itself!" 

That's the one.
Why is that more offensive? It appears no more absurd or untrue than most of his statements. You are not Evangelical.

I'm . . . not. This one's difficult to explain.
Please attempt.

I AM religious . . . much more spiritual than religious. But that isn't it. I'm used to politicians of every kind lying about what they will do or have done for their supporters and people they wish to support them.
That does appear typical, based upon frequency of historical complaint content, yes.

Trump is more a Jim Jones than a good man.
You are referring to his wealth or his following?

I'm referring to his ability to get people to drink the Kool-Aid!
Uncertain of reference.

Jim Jones was the guy that people believed in until he got them to drink poisoned Kool-Aid. He's the reason for the saying 'drink the Kool-Aid.'
[search for .00000001784403 seconds] Understood and researched. An interesting aphorism etymology. You would say then that his words are questionable as always.

I can't think of ANY way he's helped religious people. Can you?
1. He has tested their capacity to be faithful. To himself, at least.
2. He has given them hope of greater representation. This promises to be an even greater test of their faith, as they attempt to justify continual disappointment.
3. He has given them an opportunity to remember not to be prideful, as his actions are occasionally laughable. Also because his history is scandalous. These would tend to induce humility, and is therefore consistent with the standards of many religious people.
4. He has incited much sympathy for Muslims by increasing their persecution. (Also a test of faith.)
5. He has presented them with an interesting challenge: How to save his soul.

[notable pause] I forgot who I was chatting with. Okay, I like number five best. A worthy cause. [pause]

That is not your objection either.

You're right. Now that I'm looking at this, he said 'religion.' That's it. He's claiming that he somehow helped RELIGION. That would mean he somehow outdid all the Founding Fathers that declared church and state would remain separate. So he outdid the Constitution?
And was only just impeached.

HA! That would be a good reason TO impeach him, if he could have done[interrupt]

Stop. That is enough for an exception. [upload]
