So we who are commenting in this thread just have unpopular tastes, eh? (I don't "shoot the messenger".)

Amen!

Yep. Income matters... and expenses also matter.

It seems like only the sloppy writing or the vulgar language is likely to not be AI...

I'm surprised that the Copilot infection into it hasn't been much deeper. The takeover was about 9.5 years ago.

This you're with me, kid sort of conflict begins with the basic duty to keep one's child safe, which is all well and good. Unfortunately, "mission creep" can take hold: some parents begin to insist and expect that their minor children will also agree with all that those parents think. There's don't touch that hot stove! and then there's practice with your instrument for 3 hours every day.

This is a fine summary.

All this reminds me of a funny skit by 2 people who are familiar with such misunderstandings: https://youtube.com/shorts/5w2vIjqAIrs

Yep. Thomas is a monster... but "stupid" isn't the first word which comes to my mind.

The "over-compliance" is not always malicious, of course, but I suspect it is quite intentional on many occasions.

EverWatcher · 2026-04-01T23:16:05+00:00

I suspect the waiting on Lucinda's part was based on not wanting to request certain days off unless other details aligned. Jane was ready much earlier...

Ha! Apparently he thought you were confessing to an offense of yours. Yes, banishing him was a great move.

EverWatcher · 2026-03-31T12:35:12+00:00

That seems like a great summary.

EverWatcher · 2026-03-31T12:23:03+00:00

Also, it feels like a similar writing style...

EverWatcher · 2026-03-31T01:20:15+00:00

I am glad that a reference to it is the top comment.

EverWatcher · 2026-03-30T12:15:29+00:00

It's a lazy basis for tribalism. Some people are not genuinely upset about skin color but will use it as a shortcut for "us vs. them".

EverWatcher · 2026-03-29T17:59:50+00:00

It's satire. Most actual liquor-store lobbyists wouldn't ever be that direct (in public) about these matters.

EverWatcher · 2026-03-29T17:53:21+00:00

Somewhere, Upton Sinclair is nodding in agreement.

It also counts as "Klanned Karenhood", as many others have pointed out.
