        I hope he’s miserable and in terrible pain. But I know that fucking over the dems would be his dying wish, no matter how morbid it went; hopefully they’ll let him die now but seeing how underwater the GOP is in the senate I wouldn’t hold my breath.

          Unfortunately he probably has this puppetteering requested in his will just to have one last chance at fucking over Democrats. He’s that much of a spiteful POS

        The uncanny valley of likely a disease detection and avoidance system. In those pictures, he looks like he has significant brain damage. You’re supposed to feel some revulsion, to keep you safe.

          Yeah, I read at one point that that is exactly the evolutionary purpose of uncanny valley. So you steer clear of people who seem almost human, but not quite right. Since they were generally sick in some fashion, like you said.

                    Lashing out? I’m not the one whining endlessly every single day on Reddit and Lemmy about the same problems after having elected a mentally ill pedofascist twice. And then being told to smile at my job.

            Also, show me one scene in ‘Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring’ or ‘Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East?’ where anyone does ‘intentional smiling’.

            ““Happiness””

            I got news, dude: all those waiters and clerks aren’t happy to see you. They’ll just be fired if they don’t smile.
