They also sold all of the main miniatures from the original BSG, which blows my mind.

This a classic case of whataboutism.

Pretty sure the “Pirates” “ride” at Disney World is not a context where the gnarliest bits of historically accurate human activity needs to play out. It’s made up to begin with and presented for amusement.

It’s sexual slavery, there’s no dispute there. You really want to argue that’s appropriate for a kid’s ride, much less the general public?

“I’m as progressive as they come”

That’s a great distinction.

Except the ride is ALREADY being changed constantly. No one had a big petition or a big stink about this, Disney decided it was time for a change, like every other change. So yelling about progressives and whatever is complete bullshit. Is drawing lines for the sake of your shitty political arguments.

The ride isn’t an historically accurate representation of the 1600s, it’s a romanticized tribute to “A Pirate’s Life,” which includes ghosts, shanties, and (now) Captain Jack Sparrow.

When you have Rick Perry running the Dept of Energy, who needs OSTP? He can fill POTUS in on “science” at an amount and level understandable by Trump.

At least they have given up the pretense of having or wanting a clue as to what is actually going on.

The only good drone is a dead drone.

So long as people can do the wrong thing, the wrong thing will be done.

There is also an issue of people who use drones to look into other people windows. I’m not surprised at hostility of people who watch reports of some creep taking pictures of their neighbors through by flying drone to their second floor bathroom or bedroom window.

“if you are out in public, where you can be seen, it’s not spying, and people can record you, whether with a picture or video camera, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it”

No worse than some bad ass who, after a night of drinking, decides to get Taco Bell and White Castle.

Well, just as a reminder, you voted for those morons.

Until a ship made from trash shows up and brokers a peace deal between the two species. Only then will Jan Micheal Vincent be safe from those spiders!

I cannot admire this writing enough!

A man runs through the jungle. He is a hunted beast. His foe tracks him, swinging from trees, trying to get close enough to bite.

I hate spiders with a passion, they freak me out. But you can’t help but be impressed by the little bastards.
