You underestimate my capacity for failure.

It just means he can't do it by himself.

Yours won't be perfect, but you can do the whole thing by yourself.

Personally, I do. But I doubt any company gives a shit what my standards are.

It almost as if education and critical thinking about what one is reading is important.

That book can be read to children in the context of it being wrong. It can be explained to children why it is wrong and that just because they read something in a book doesn't mean it's right.

What's better, educating people to think critically, or banning things so they don't have to think at all?

Libraries are public institutions, book stores are not.

Public institutions must play by the rules of the people, private companies are only bound by the rules of the law.

My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart

Wow that's funny because my feeling has always been exactly the opposite. It's why quippy, vapid bullshit like the Avengers and star wars is so popular.

It always fluorescent pink whenever I've seen it.

"No."

"You were hired here on the basis of being a team player."

"And I put in exactly the hours required of me by the job description. You're the manager; if slack needs to be picked up, it's your responsibility to do so, not mine."

My bosses all hate me, and I'm happier than ever.

Hmm let's flip this around and make it about Lowes and lesbians, and see how many people get pissed off:

Have you ever been in a Lowe's? The atmosphere is full of leftover teen angst, the misplaced desire to prove oneself, and anger disguised as jokes at the straights expense. Of course it's the lesbians home improvement store. And it fucking sucks

It's fun throwing stereotypes around, isn't it!

There are response guides tesla puts out on their site to help us prepare for what a scene involving a tesla would entail. If I remember right like 8,000 gallons of water to keep the battery stable.

Keep in mind they make those numbers based off liability, not science. Those guides are meant to legally cover Tesla's ass, not provide actual useful information.
