The phrase “ok slimers” legitimately made me laugh out loud

He has US citizenship, at least according to wikipedia. Much as I hate him the government can’t just revoke that afaik

What I love every time I see this comic is that Alex knew he would be persecuted for his art, and has accepted it.

give the supreme court more time to backslide

the whole “Deckard’s a replicant thing” is lame because it ruins his character arc if he is. IMO the whole film is a comparison of the human Deckard who coldly murders replicants without mercy (like a machine) vs the replicant Roy who kills with passion, and eventually grants mercy to his enemy. The replicant is “more human than human”, and the human is more machine-like than the machine. Deckard’s story is going from a robot-man to someone who actually feels alive and concern for someone other than himself at the end.

Reminds me of this genuine photo of bison skulls from the late 1800s

The US government encouraged mass hunting of bison to force Native Americans to give up their way of life that depended on them and move to reservations where they would be “allowed” to live. Unless something valuable was discovered on that land later.

When colonists first started arriving there were upwards of 60 million bison in North America, traveling in vast herds that provided much of what various nomadic tribes needed to live on. At the lowest point in the late 1800s there were around 541 known animals in existence. Now there are around 500,000 in NA, the vast majority of which live on ranches and are farmed for meat. There are around 20,000 living on conservation lands.

It’s great when dystopic defense contractors take names from the things I love! Palmer Luckey started one called Anduril, and I just can’t tell you how much I love these fucking shits co-opting Tolkien’s words in their endeavors to profit on oppression and murder.

I think they’re not being built in most US (and maybe Canadian?) cities because nimbys only want single-family detached houses to be built to preserve their home’s value

least that’s what I’ve gathered from watching youtube videos on urban planning and reading articles

afaik it’s essentially an apartment but you own your domicile, and have a stake in the building as a whole along with the other “tenants” who are also co-owners.

The suspects are aged between 30 and 49 and are studying in Busan

now, education is possible at any age, but really?

didn’t like Uzumaki

We can’t be friends.

You should read it all, imo, but maybe focus on anthologies? Don’t bother with No Longer Human, I don’t think you’ll like that one.

The one where ISIS exists and attacked Moscow’s Crocus City Hall theater in March. IIRC the Taliban and ISIS aren’t best friends because ISIS sees them as resting on their laurels and wanting to stabilize their control of Afghanistan rather than expanding and building an Islamic State.

you also get exp-boosting earrings that work until the max level of the previous expansion, and a unique minion (little pet to show off)

it’s not ‘early access’ in that way, it’s just that if you preorder you get access 3 or 4 days early

“Yeah, but the perception…”

She “claimed that she didn’t know the bag belonged to him.” 🙄

She intended to pour water in someone else’s bag several times over a period of months in a targeted harrasment campaign, it’s fine!

I really wish we could go back to smaller scale rpgs that came out more frequently. Tighter, trimmer play areas with efficient stories. They don’t need to have tons of side quests with mediocre at best writing. Just pare it down for shit’s sake

what a gd clownshow
