What to do about incels

And yes, I do think ICE should be disbanded, but not because someone once impersonated an ICE agent. It should never have been called into existence, even if no one ever impersonated an ICE agent. It's domestic lawless harassment, that's why.

Thank you for commenting from your lofty faraway perch in the CH.

(Which is not to say that I disagree.)

I wonder what a TEMU companion would order on a dinner date, and why.

I was thinking about salad vs lobster.

On my side, I wonder how things would go if I had a robot boyfriend for a while and then met a potential organic one who sincerely seemed to be interested in me and mostly compatible, and to whom I felt attracted without too many calculations.

Of course I would grant full legal emancipation to my robot boyfriend, even if I was still making payments, but what would he do? How would he feel? Would he be able to make his own way in the world? Would he resent being spurned? Would we all end up in some kind of polyamorous relationship?

Just let them/us die out -- that's the Darwinian solution.

Or tell them to save up (if they even can) to buy a companion bot from TEMU.

They'd rather kill you and then themselves for disrespecting them like that. Be careful patronizing incels.

Big Salad, I make them.

Everything, not in any particular order.

Onions, extra onions, chic peas, celery, lettuce, tomato, olives, pickles, cottage cheese on top, oil vinegar dressing, chicken, croutons, boiled eggs split in top, shredded marble cheese,

Probably forgetting something, I'll figure it out when I cook again 😏

Sounds good to me, but to go to a fine restaurant and order a $50 recharge token for your date -- no matter how that might be plated, something just seems wrong there. (Might come across as rather transactional.)

Okay okay! I'm starting to get it. Never take my TEMU guy out for eats. Pretty sure he might have hinted at that before, but I was too slow on the uptake. I'm being the unequal partner here. *sigh* (in so many ways)
