another part is deeply tickled by the idea that Hitler’s final solution has been reduced to a game for drunk high schoolers. I can only imagine ghost Hitler’s annoyance.

is apt to go off on rants about how a given work “didn’t end”, or insist on pausing every five minutes and demanding I explain mythology or backstory (also, a tendency to come into a room whilst I’m in the middle of watching something and interrogate me as to whether every character who appears on screen “is a good…

I got a solid decade out of my last Mac tower, and it was running some pretty serious audio/video stuff. Those things were built to last. Now, you can’t even upgrade the memory.

each one is breathtakingly shallow. Rowling reveals a lack of knowledge of American history that makes this an extremely hard read. She also either doesn’t realize the sensitive nature of some areas she’s treading on or does not care.

I just wanted to acknowledge the use of the word “mononymously”.

The problem is that the areas which end up being better A) are smaller than the old areas, and B) require the displacement of the native ecosystem in order to farm.

It’s a secondary effect. The temperature rise is causing the droughts.

In a lot of cases, pathogens are contained mainly by geography. Carriers are generally adapted to specific environments, and a lot of the nastier stuff lives in largely unpopulated areas- Which means that outbreaks don’t happen often, but more importantly, not enough people have come into contact with it regularly…

I use a lot of herbal and natural medicine, but I still know when to call an actual professional.

More importantly, if you look at the rest of the characters, it’s pretty hard to argue why Tara *wouldn’t* die:

Buffy- Kills her first love. Spike dies. Mom dies.
Xander- Anya dies
Giles- Jenny dies, Joyce dies
Dawn- Kills first boy she kissed. Mom dies.
Angel- Buffy turns him evil, Cordelia dies
Wesley- First Fred dies on…

the mother’s decision has priority. Or it always should. So she may be making a bad decision. I get that-but we allow people to make bad decisions all the time when they are they only one at risk.

Kardashian wrote that Kanye...

“Son, you done fucked up, but you’ve got gumption! I like that! In fact, I think you’re problem is that you’re not being challenged enough in your present position.....”

In the Jewish canon, the devil is an appointed position created by G-d, both to serve as his own adversary, as well as to challenge humans. He’s literally just doing the job he was given.

Lucifer is just misunderstood. He doesn’t want to be a bad guy, it’s God who is forcing him to play that role.

Are proponents of this policy just NRA shills, or have they legitimately not given these scenarios much thought?

You, I’d trust with a gun.

How about we split the difference: Require more certification to get a carry permit, place less restrictions on where they can and can’t use it.

Came for the Stargate reference. Was not disappointed.

Okay.....
