We go now to tonight's top story. Silicon Valley is in a panic as the goonabomber has struck again. A series of explosions today rocked the area as explosives rigged in fixie bicycles detonated simultaneously during the morning commute.

“Counterrevolutionary!” said the lady passenger. And all of the passengers and crew chimed in one after another, calling the cabin boy a fascist and a counterrevolutionary. They pushed him away and went back to grumbling about wages, and about blankets for women, and about the right to suck cocks, and about how the dog was treated. The ship kept sailing north, and after a while it was crushed between two icebergs and everyone drowned.

For more on this developing story, we go now to your rapid reaction on Twitter. Grimes tweeted a series of emotes. The first was a sad face, followed moments later by what appears to be a giant Pacific octopus.

People have anger issues and since Alexa isnlt a person it's a good view into the future.

I spend my day yelling at inanimate objects so I'd probably yell at Alexa, but also I am dangerously unstable.

quote:

Q. Manager asking me to translate adult films: I’m an ex-military guy using the GI Bill to attend college. I’m looking to enter the tech field and landed a great internship at a well-known tech company. During introductions, I let people know that prior to entering college, I worked in military intelligence and had learned an East Asian language as part of my job. This attracted the interest of a senior project manager in my office who is also an ex-military linguist, but who had learned a different East Asian language. We struck up a conversation, and he revealed that he was working on a “side project” that could use my language skills. Being eager to impress, I readily volunteered, and he asked me to come over to his place that evening. However, when I arrived, I was mortified to learn that his “side project” was adding English subtitles to animated porn films for some website he runs! Not wanting to lose the internship, I awkwardly translated a few lines for him, then made up some excuse to leave. Now I have an email from him asking when I am free again to help! I worry if I say no, I’ll risk upsetting somebody who could potentially sabotage my career, but I also don’t want to spend my evenings translating tentacle porn and God knows what else for this weirdo! If I were a woman, I think this would be sexual harassment, but what the hell is this if you’re a guy?

it's a contract for the border patrol, so maybe we should just stick 'em with a couple dozen ungulates and no clear explanation as to why

here's an idea i'd be at least willing to hear out. you're a mud farmer wallowing in whatever toxic hovel passes as home when you find and open a vault no one ever actually used. the game is about keeping everyone else away from all the shiny poo poo you now own. anything to change it up from the fish out of water hero quests of 3 and 4

as tepid as i am on new vegas at least it had the decency of not casting the protag as a vault dweller

Yeah I don't think every protagonist needs to be a vault dweller. The only real benefit to it is that it lends itself nicely to creating a blank slate for the player when you enter the world but the last one still scripted your whole identity so
