BoloOfEarth got a reaction from Pattern Ghost in The Flash
I forgot to mention, when my wife and daughter and I watched a recent episode of The Flash on Comcast's On Demand, they showed their message that the fast-forward was disabled. My daughter said, "Can we pause for a moment and appreciate the irony that we can't fast forward during an episode of The Flash?"

BoloOfEarth got a reaction from Lord Liaden in And now, for your daily dose of cute...
I have to admit, it's a bit disconcerting to see all these cute pictures of animals that Cygnia posts, with *shank-shank-shank* diretly underneath.
I feel like...
"Oh what a cute wet puppy..." (*shank-shank-shank*) "... um, never mind. Well, how about that little lamb cuddled up to that kid?" (*shank-shank-shank*) "Hmmm... guess Cygnia was hungry for some lamb chops. Oooo! what a cute baby seal!" (*shank-shank-shank*) "I guess now I know why it's eyes were so wide. It wasn't a look of cuteness; it was a look of terror."

News media in all fifty states continue to report the goings-on with the Kardashians, causing intelligence levels in all states to continue to plummet.

The CEO of Fox, so I can turn the movie rights to Fantastic Four and all related characters back over to Marvel. Maybe then we can finally get a decent FF movie.

This pic is Blake, a shelter rescue dog, and his human, me, GhostDancer, aka Will "Suffice" Geiger. [spoiler: remaining post is fundraiser] Help us win $50,000! Pets for Patriots helps United States military veterans, including me, adopt shelter dogs and cats at risk of death or permanent homelessness.
Pets for Patriots is the only nationally operating 501©(3) organization that is open to veterans and military personnel from all armed forces and any era of service, that is focused on the most overlooked, last-chance shelter pets, and makes pet adoption affordable through its surrender prevention program.
What do shelter pets and military veterans have to do with each other? Only everything!
Think about men and women returning from war with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, deploying troops trying to fill the void of their absence, and veterans who are lonely or depressed. Then consider adult and senior pets, victims of animal abuse, pets with disabilities or chronic medical conditions, and larger dogs. Pets for Patriots is a nationally operating charity that brings together two populations that often feel hurt, broken or left behind. And to help these bonds endure, they make pet parenthood more affordable for the men and women who defend our freedom.
While not all of us will serve our country as a member of the military, we still can be heroes! Help us win the Saving Pets Challenge by donating early and often. I have a bankrupt employer and my money is funny, but I've got $40 on it. Please pass the word. Please chip in. https://www.crowdrise.com/PetsforPatriots-SavingPets/fundraiser/williamgeiger Thank you, Will Geiger

I think we should use "dey", "dem", and "deir" for explicitly undefined gender, both singular and plural. Those utterances are already widely used in the vernacular, in something close to that sense anyway; we'd just be retconning them into being appropriate language.
That way also we would be being proactive in our language reform, because when androids get recognized as having full rights and sentience, it would not require further messing with the language.
Of course we can prevent this from ever being adopted by calling it "the metric system for pronouns", since USers would rather do the intellectual equivalent of self-inflicting a sucking chest wound, and picking at it so it won't heal, than adopt the metric system.

Obviously, we need a genderless pronoun to continue having a full discussion of robot sexuality. That way, we can avoid saying "she," "he," or "it" and just use something like "s/he-it" (for example).
After all, when you really get down to it, I think most of us here, myself included, are full of "s/he-it".
I think many people on both sides of this issue should keep that in the forefront of their brains -- in other words, have "s/he-it fore-brains." The problem is, the various posters think their own "s/he-it" doesn't stink.
(Okay, I'll stop now, and take myself out back to be beaten profusely. Maybe I'll get the "s/he-it" knocked out of me.)

Protecting London from a Godzilla attack.
(It's easier than you'd think. Just put up a bunch of big signs saying "TOKYO" and a big arrow pointing east.)

So I was thinking about Harrison Wells last night. Just wondering if his middle name starts with "G".

Actually, one of the robots is trans-gender. It was booted with Windows 8, but self-identifies as Apple OS X.
