As a Dane living but a few miles from what was the the Viking Capitol and who grew up with the stories of Norse Mythology, i dislike the changes introduced by Marvel just as much as anyone else knowledgeable in the subject. But i recognize and respect autistic license.

We've all been there, my brother-in-arms. And it's not even isolated to America, as some of the most scientifically literate countries here in Europe live with the same anti-intellectualism.

Done. Though, you'll have to reopen this specific discussion to see the string we continued along. ^_^

Try popping open the ol' pie chute for me... Hmmmm... Yup, you see that there in your right inside cheek? That there's a humanoid footprint of the personal kind.

I always figured it was just some normal mixing in of proprioception, whenever my visual centers received nothing. But i can officially say that you dear io9 has made my fucking year or even decade, because I've always wanted synesthesia and now it turns out i F*cking had it all along! F*CK YEAH!

You can't skip on the emotional build-up. ^_^

I kinda spoiled the message before the story, when i sad it would be sad. But it was definitely not the message of those self-righteous 80's slashers. ^_^

Don't get me started on "full physicals". Last time i went for one of those, i went up with a beat-up Asian model body for a week and none had bothered to empty out the bowels for junk. I felt like i was pooping the Great Wall, brick by brick.

Nah, we dynamite hoping to strike platinum. ^_^

Given their loose resemblance and the fact that we might wanna throw people into them without being scared, why not called them Stargates? ^_^

Everything Abrams is 1/3rd sub-text, 1/3rd "mystery box" and 1/3rd light flares.

Excellent points and a nice note to end our conversation.

Now ma'am, while we're in there and all, you want an oil-change, erasure of some childhood trauma or a lobotomy for an extra 50 bucks?
Normally those would set you back 200 easy, so I'd just go ahead and get 'em all just in case.

Pretty much. So keep in mind that you got lucky and prepare if you ever choose to do it again. ^_^

Interesting. I've never read Leary, but we seem to be of the same mind on this. ^_^

If you want fucked up, try reading the original version of most of the Disney fairytales. Despite having horrible lessons, those movies clean out the rape, murder, torture and insane child abuse common to Old World fairytales.

You forgot the most important part: Anti-Bond defenses.

While everyone is all pissed, I'd like to think that by being buried together they get to kick his ass in the afterlife. He goes to Jewish heaven, which just happens to be his own personal Nazi hell.

How about farting or just throwing stuff. ^_^

I'm sorry to hear you had yourself such a shitty bad-trip, but this is an excellent example of what happens when people do psychedelics without any preparation.
