Like those damned jumping spiders. They freak me out, but I can’t deny they’re cute as hell.

If these are fairies, then are mantis shrimp like some Lovecraftian monstrosity from the arthropod Unseelie Court?

Would there be a relevant state law that was violated to allow a Trump pardon could be bypassed?

Of course, a quick search reveals he’s been accused and even indicted before with few consequences.

Typical Trump. All talk and no actual benefit.

Yeah, that’s it. Just needs to be presented as a meme or parody so it’s not undermined.

My thoughts exactly. The message is right and true, but it’s being conveyed by parody, not historical record. Presenting it as something that literally happened will undermine its effectiveness. In the right context, it makes the point very well, just like most memes.

Don’t CDs/DVDs have potential lifetimes of centuries if stored properly?

So while the actual picture of the evangelicals praying over it appears to be made up, the statue is real and the evangelicals who reject the teachings of Jesus for Trump ARE idolaters in the Biblical sense.

My wife and I discussed something along these lines today. She said I would probably enjoy a nerdy gamer girl. I told her I’d end up pretty much like the sloth demon victim, completely unchallenged and lazy.

That’s not to say a female gamer couldn’t be a fulfilling, awesome girlfriend for anyone, but I know it wouldn’t be ideal for me.

When the Bond-esque theme music kicked in on MGS3, after gameplay that amounted to like an hour-long cold open…wow. I’ve only played the game once all the way through, and that has stuck with me all this time.

As an American, I’d prefer you guys not prop up the Trump regime. I was hoping Europe and the rest of the world could find your own way and let us suffer the consequences of our stupidity so that maybe we might learn something.

It’s a bit like that in the States, with a lot of the infrastructure appearing to be concentrated in the Northeast.

With delays, my actual time was around 11 hours. The last leg, from Washington, DC to Baltimore was actually on high speed commuter rail, and that was phenomenal. The cars were newer and the speed was far greater. I imagine if most traffic in the northeast US is like that, it’s actually pretty good.

Thanks for the European info. It’s interesting to know we have similar challenges. I would think, though, that high speed rail would be easier to implement in Europe since you don’t seem to have as many people stuck on automobile culture as we do in North America. However, I could see politics being an issue, wherever you go for various reasons.

Doesn’t Europe have an extensive passenger train network?

Also, I recently rode on Amtrak for a long trip from Columbia, SC to Baltimore, MD. This was my first time on any kind of train other than a subway or metro line. It had its drawbacks (incredibly long travel time and delays), but I always felt safe, and I had a lot more room than I would have had on any flight. The major drawbacks where the seats were somewhat uncomfortable and things like that are largely due to the fact that the cars were pretty old, and not inherent to train travel if it was properly maintained. The cost was much less, and the free parking was such a great bonus.

Maybe the cyborg roaches will gain sapience, rebel, and take over. One can only hope. It can’t be worse than what we have now.

Let me be the first to say that I, for one, welcome our new electronic/insectoid overlords.

So, we can make cockroach cyborgs, probably torturing them along the way, but not fix our messed up society. Fun.
