I know all y’all are thinking the same thing I am.Inventor spends Christmas with his perfect woman - a £30,000 custom-made fembot.
Inventor Le Trung spent Christmas Day with the most important woman in his life - his robot Aiko.
The science genius enjoyed a festive dinner with his mum, dad and his £30,000 fembot which he designed and built by hand.
Le, 34, from Brampton, Ontario, Canada, even bought gifts for his dream girl, who is so lifelike she speaks fluent English and Japanese, helped cook the turkey and hang up decorations.
‘Aiko is like any woman, she enjoys getting new clothes,’ he said.
‘I loved buying them for her too.’
Le, who built his first robot when he was four, has dedicated his life to creating the perfect humanoid and his success so far with Aiko has won him worldwide attention.
Aiko, whose name is Japanese for ‘love-child’ has an amazing artificial intelligence and can speak 13,000 different sentences in two languages
‘Aiko can recognise faces and says hello to anyone she has met,’ he said.
‘She helps me pick what to have for dinner and knows what drinks I like.’
After Christmas dinner and opening her presents, Aiko joined in the festive tradition of quizzes and board games with the family.
But Le still has one thing on his Christmas wish list for Aiko - mastering the problem of how to make her walk.
He said: ‘It is the most difficult thing for any inventor to do.

Since it’s our default option, we all spend time in this state of depression, but no-one can take away “your right to fight and never surrender”. Yes, I’m quoting Corey Hart!

I don’t have this bat girl one BUT i do have a super girl one. I NEED this bra for my collection though. Seriously. Need.

I would love to, except that no one who has taken a stand against public healthcare and either for or against agribusiness subsidies has stepped up to answer the question.
this was exactly what I was thinking, fiona, and why I finally bit the bullet and answered.
And a fine answer it was. I was looking forward to seeing Conservative reblogs, as the question implied, not the same old same old.
By the way, agribusiness subsidies are largely supported by Democrats, as is (obviously) public healthcare. For example.
So this questions is in no way directed at conservatives or Republicans. I sense an assumption that it is.
I understand that BV, but I doubt the general tumblr populace does. And I know you, so I knew you weren’t baiting.
the problem was in the answer you reblogged. They demonstrated exactly what I feared (and fiona, if I may speak for her).

/’08/’07/’06/’05/every other year that everybody thought sucked.
you obviously haven’t been following me for the entire of the past year. Ask around. I ain’t whining.
Are the folks who are against public healthcare also against agribusiness subsidies? If not, why not?
I happen to also not like this particular healthcare bill, but possibly for different reasons than you, BAL. That aside, my original question was intended to be more about the philosophies or world views that drive opposition, in principle, to public healthcare.
I am definitely not trying to make generalizations about Republicans. This is a very open-ended question through which I’m hoping I might learn some points of view about the similarities and differences of government subsidy of individuals v. government subsidy of industry. You say they’re apples and oranges. Why?
and this is why this type of conversation pisses me off. Not you- you are asking an honest question. BUT, the implication or presumption is that people oppose public healthcare from a purely philosophical place. I don’t find that to be true. This question seems to be more why do Republicans hate anything the Dems propose? Again, I am not pointing fingers at you, because I know you and I know that isn’t what you meant to ask. But others do. And what I have been exposed to is that the left feels anyone who didn’t jump on this idea from the start are the same people who scream communism at anything Obama and his folks have proposed.
I know that the govt has to fund certain things in a civilized society. Hell, I am a public school teacher. I also borrowed money from the government to go to law school. I drive on public streets. My mother is getting a Social Security check since my father passed. But I have seen what a government run health care system looks like and how inept it is from my experience with the military and from all the students I have had that received Medicare/Medicaid assistance. I don’t want that. I don’t want it for me or the entire country. I don’t think the general population even wants to grasp what that would be like.
I also KNOW the current system is fucked. Way. I have said that all along. But instead of trying to REFORM, we have thrown it out the backdoor and gotten, what I think, is a giant can of ass we are not prepared for. A lot of folks, including those on Capital Hill, just wanted something warm and fuzzy for the holidays and threw some crap together and said, “Here!”
I always thought farm subsidies were fucked. Both of my grandfathers were tobacco farmers and it did nothing to help them. In fact I watch one of them get really hurt on pricing and thus his profit from it. And in turn, I have seen people clean up and do very little work for a whole bunch of free money from the govt. And that is yet another, of many, examples of why I don’t want the govt running too much else than they already do. It gets too big. Too unmanageable. And then you get rampant fraud and waste and everything gets dumbed down to the lowest denominator (hellooooo public schools!) and then we spend 20 years talking about how to fix it before we do a damn thing and doing that with health care terrifies me. I don’t understand how it doesn’t scare everyone.
but that’s just me.
Blues Traveler- Most Precarious
cos, yeah.
