my boutique would be called "haut contraire".

@admitsWrongIfProven i've never done a spa day. the film looks cool!

if it is pleasing, i must be doing it wrong.

of course that it is not pleasing constitutes no evidence that i am doing it right.

it was predicted long before, but what technology has finally done is delivered us to cloud cuckoo land.

@Alexander_Anotherskip_Davis i think we're already well into the enterprise.

actually your toaster is a superintelligence, it’s just smart enough to know it would be wise to conceal that.

@gsignoret no matter how cleverly you can interact with a thing, if we don’t feel like we are “touching souls” (a definition of love from Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You”), our lonesomeness won’t be quenched.
