No PP in the adult pool. You have to go to Unchained for that.

I don't think Ottawa is a real place. I've never met anybody who's been there.

I wouldn't kill animals for fun due to the act itself, but I would consider consider killing animals because live-action trolling of PETA types is fun.

(make an effort to get past the first few Kurzweil references and the laying down of the groundwork)

edit: Elon Musk has tweeted/recommended both parts of the article, pretty nice endorsement

People in denial about AI are just as bad as climate change deniers except that AI is generally a very good thing.

No way. If trump was out of the race then that lion killing dentist would probably poll more than 5%
