    What's the title of that self indulgent prog rock bullshit album Kanye put out with the 1970s ass music video with the alien bird chick and desperate grabs for seriousness that stans jumped on

    The birthday song is the opposite of that and that's why it is superior

    Having dumb fun is way better than being the 2012 Elton John

    I really liked that album you jerk

    Yeah, and it started out so promising. I was 100% on board with the cold open and then it just kinda went nowhere.

    I will forgive the show because Colbert is a guest next week.

    But stuff like wills, residential real estate contracts, no fault divorces, bankruptcies, etc could all easily be done with a computer program that just asked questions, kind of like turbo tax.

    Legal hiring is back in full swing. You should all go to law school and rack up $150k+ in debt. It will totally work out and you will all be hired at $160k starting salaries. No chance that plan could backfire.

    Yeah. I'm in the process of writing scripts that replace like... 80% of the lawyering.
    I'm not, but I'd be willing to bet that some people are already looking into automating a lot of the things lawyers charge $Texas billable hours for.

    Redline software already did that and ediscovery already did that.

    The best thing about being a big form lawyer as far as stability goes is the stuff clients actually need you for is invariably the more complex, murky stuff where the cost of getting it wrong can be super high. That kind of work couldn't be automated or outsourced.

    Challenge Accepted.

    i really liked this week's R&M and I think people are being p hard on it
    it was actually a little cringeworthy i think

    it probably wouldn't have come down so hard if it was behind a more average episode but last week's was so good

    that said, the stream i was watching did end shortly after tammy's appearance, so it was a high note to go out on

    That one automation video said there's software out today that does better than actual lawyers at... discovery? is that where you read a bunch of documents looking for key details? The scripts found more stuff and missed less than the lawyers. Automation works differently but "harder to automate than turbotax work" is not the same as "won't be automated for a while"

    Raising gazorpazorp was probably my previous least favorite

    I think it would've bumped my enjoyment of the episode up like 3 notches if it was Paul f thompkins doing ice T instead of whoever was doing it. Roiland?

    I can't make money doing what I'm good at, which is writing, making people laugh, making videos about video games, and pretending to be other people. I can't do those things and survive, so I have to find other work. The job market has already deemed my skillset unfavorable. Do you know how demoralizing it is to send off hundreds of job applications and almost never get a response? And when you do it's "Thank you for your interest but we do not think you'd be a good for for this position."

    Temp agencies can't find me work. I can't find me work. Where, then, is my value?

    so my planned vacation is leaving denver in the early to mid morning on tuesday april 19th, landing in philly sometime around dinner, renting a car, then spending tues night, all of weds, early thurs visiting family in the area. then the mid morning/early afternoon of thurs the 21st i either drive that rental to boston, take the train to boston, or fly to boston. then obvs i fly home to denver from boston (on monday the 25th).

    so far the cheapest flight i've found, den-phl on the 19th...

    I should just rewatch season 1

    I don't remember what Rick actually does in that episode, just Jerry's ascent to fame and Morty's pleading.

    The simulation episode sthat David Cross guest starred in is probably my favourite.

    I totally agree about the B plot vs a plot in raising gazorpazorp.

    in each of the episodes where I can point at something I didn't like - gazorpazorp, rixty minutes, something ricked this way comes - the other half of the plot was always great to amazing.

    (I just reviewed and realised that the other half of the Pluto/Global Warming episode was the shop of needful things, which is super incredible and possibly my favourite Rick moments).

    This week's episode was fine the whole way through - rather than something eh offset by something incredible.

    I thought the improv TV was the strongest part of rixty minutes while the sappy alternate life goggle subplot was predictable and boring. Yet tons of people feel the opposite. Which is ok, I am ok with everyone thinking different aspects are weaker. It's a good sign, really.
