This is what I mean in my bio when I say I'm a "Neighbor of Fred."

The ACLU is doing what it can here in the States, and continues to set an an example for other countries. Liberty has been around in the UK for 90 years, advocating for human rights, too. The helpers are out there, even when it seems like they're not.

Photo of Fred Rogers on the set of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood with the following text: "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of 'disaster,' I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world." ~Fred Rogers

The men who get mad at liberal women and decide to comment about that woman "being a three" or a "cat lady" inevitably look like the product of a ham fucking a yeti.

introduce yourself with four robots
Robotic character Johnny Five in Short Circuit 2 (1988), a person-sized tread-driven robot built from metal, exposed wiring, and hydraulic joints, with a boxy torso and long, articulated arms ending in clamp-style hands. His rectangular head holds two large, expressive camera lenses that function like eyes, paired with a small metal strip with a row of red lights that act as a mouth of sorts. Though clearly mechanical, his range of motion and facial cues give him a lively anthropomorphized appearance. Original 1986 packaging of the Transformer Trypticon, a Decepticon in the form of a motherfucking T-Rex that turns into a motherfucking city. The most I ever wanted a toy. Human-resembling mecha child David (Haley Joel Osment) and his robotic stuffed bear Teddy in A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) Peter Weller as the title character in RoboCop (1987), foiling a liquor store robbery in spectacular fashion, pointing an enormous handgun with his right hand while holding his left hand up behind him.

I like to watch it whilst reclining on a lay-zed-boy.

Sometimes I turn the sound down and put on some music, like Jay Zed.

Is your campy novelty anthropomorphic drug paraphernalia conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.
A novelty green glass bong shaped like a cartoon alien or creature. It features a large, spherical green body, two curved tubes extending upward with oversized, realistic-looking eyeballs on top, and a clear glass base. The central joint holds a green glass bowl.

Is your buttery breakfast table syrup conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.
Vintage bottle of Mrs. Butterworth's syrup, "The Original Buttered Syrup". It is made of brown glass in the shape of a "matronly" woman in an apron represented by the red and yellow label on the bottle. Mrs. Butterworth stands upright with its hands clasped together at the waist, the arms bent slightly forward as if resting one hand over the other.

anthropocentric
/ˌan(t)-THrə-pə-ˈsen-trik/
adjective
1: considering human beings as the most significant entity of the universe
2: interpreting or regarding the world in terms of human values and experiences

Pretty arrogant stance, if you ask me, but y'all do y'all.

Post a famous bathroom scene
In Eyes Wide Shut (1999), Sydney Pollack as Victor Ziegler leans toward Julienne Davis as Mandy, who is wrapped in a teal blanket and reclining in a red armchair. Tom Cruise as Dr. Bill Harford stands behind them with his arms crossed, sitting on a table beneath a stained-glass window in Victor’s ornate green-and-gold bathroom.
