    You only get spoiled like that if your parents like you and are trying to buy you off.

    This is giving me Queen Cimorene vibes from the book Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede. Cimorene, then a princess, is bored (she likes fencing and other things that "aren't proper") and dissatisfied with her suitors so she runs away to live with a dragon. There's a whole series (The Enchanted Forest Chronicles). They're YA but I've read them as an adult because I still like YA books even though I'm in my 40s

    Still in beta. Our future overlords are working out the kinks. For now, do you both like Pina Coladas?

    The reason more aliens don't visit Earth is because our Yelp reviews are so terrible.

    Yes... Yes we were. We were really high. Maybe even drunk, too.

    Funny how the "originalists" choose to interpret The Founding Fathers in ways that are diametrically opposed to the Founders' intent.

    The average temp on earth is 15C (as a fast google). An increase with 1,5C, could that be the same thing as your kid having a 40.7C temp and continues upwards? And you are not worried about global warming?
