I agree with Rod, robot slavery is terrifying and wrong! Unlike the zombie apocalypse, a robot takeover is something that maybe could happen? I don’t know, I’m not a scientist but I feel like it’s more plausible. Do you ever see those videos where they test robots and kick them and stuff to show how they can move? I always feel bad for the poor robot! It just looks so mean, even though the robot doesn’t even have a face or anything!
Hey Karen and Rod! When you were discussing the percentage of people who identify as LGBTQ+ I thought about my own experience. I’m 31 years old (grew up in ny), and I have only recently accepted the fact that I am bisexual. I knew I liked both genders from as early as my late teens-early twenties, but I never felt comfortable sharing that because I grew up in a somewhat religious baptist household. I used to watch and read a lot of queer comics and films. One day I threw out all of it out because I felt so ashamed. I’ve been surrounded by queer identifying friends for most of my life, but the church really did a number on my willingness to divulge this information to others. I felt a lot of shame because I did not want to disappoint my family. They know most of my friends queer, but I’m still not sure how they would accept me. I’m happily married to a person that knows I’m not straight and he’s so nonchalant about it. So refreshing. I finally told my three closest friends (one already assumed), and even though I’m not sure if I’ll ever tell my mother outright, I’m happy that I am finally comfortable about a part of myself. I’m not actively hiding it and if people find out, they’ll just find out. Sorry for the ramble. I really enjoy listening to your show. I got my white husband hooked on the show. Hooooook. Take care.
