  • hand gestures, trump voice It’s called ephuba… epheeba… ephebiolphilia, folks, look it up. These girls. Women. Beautiful women, because you know, I’m only attracted to beautiful. I ran the miss USA pagent for years, you know that? I’m very proud of it. They call me up sometimes and say, “Mr. Trump, the evil, socialist communist left says beauty pagents are wrong and we have to give awards to ugly ladies with nose rings. Please come back”. I have to tell them I’m just too busy saving America. But these women aren’t kids. They’re smart, intelligent ladies. The left hates beautiful women. They say “Donald is robbing the cradle he’s a pedophile”. That’s fake news. Fake. News. Children don’t have… well you know just look at these girls. They’re very well-endowed, these ladies and I won’t bow down to the evil communists. They’re the pedophiles folks. Why doesn’t anyone look into sleepy Joe sniffing all those girls’ hair - it’s creepy. But I’m attracted to beautiful. All the most beautiful things… you’ve seen my new bathroom, right? It’s the greatest bathroom in the history of indoor plumbing… Kim told me that on the phone yesterday. He said he could see it through the window in pictures.


  • Compliance does need to be considered. The company I work for is trying extremely hard to comply, but because of complexities and ambiguities in the law, it is difficult to find out how to comply. I don’t know all the details, but I know legal, compliance, and the data engineering teams spend a lot of time figuring out how to be compliant and there aren’t always clear answers.

    That said, the solution is not to roll back protections but to be very explicit about how to comply.

    Stephen King is not a good writer. He has great story ideas; but, his actual writing is poor and he does weird things that are unsupported by the narrative - like writing sewer gangbang scenes with children so that they can defeat the bad guy with the power of underage eskimo brotherhood.

    You can explain that in a less derisive way that sounds a bit more reasonable, but it doesn’t make it a good narrative choice.

    Another example is 11/22/63. People on reddit cream their pants over the book, but it’s literally just King self-inserting as the main character so he can (totally uncritically) reminisce over how great small town America was in the 50s/60s and have a fantasy relationship with this incredibly weak/badly-written female character and repeatedly “make poundcake” with her and drink rootbeer floats in diners or whatever. It’s an 800+ page book (paperback is 1049 pages) supposedly about time traveling to stop the Kennedy assassination (which is a cool story idea), but like 700+ pages are filled with asinine garbage and the actual plot is thin and pretty bad.
