I really hope he said that.

Whenever I murder someone with my pistol, I consider it a mercy kill. :v

I always make my knives incredibly hard to access.

I read an article by an African LGBT rights activist about the history of LGBT activities, cultural stances and such among tribes in the south and the west. It was an eye-opening read.

You may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to space.

StarCom sounds better.

I just got back home after a fair bit of time traveling (I turn 40 in July; it was kind of youth’s last hurrah, and I regret nothing.) Touched down in Seattle at the end of March with not much more than the shirt on my back, a new freelance gig for chow money, and a friend willing to lend me couch space while I…

Same. Time is my most valuable resource. I buy every game I want, but I never have time to play them.

I think I’d have to be homeless for a year to get all my debts paid off.

Mine’s 80/20 and the freelance income has lately been going into the “in case of fire, break glass” fund. If I got laid off, I could probably last about three or four months without “traditional” work (longer if I didn’t insist on living in Seattle) before I ended up on the street. But that 3-4 is 3-4 more than it was…

I mean the Japanese and Germans have allied before.

It’s more like teaching a Hannibal teaching a class on how better to disguise human meat so it appears to be chicken, beef or pork.

I’ll say what I always say when people get up in arms about hearing an idea that they personally don’t like: if that bothers you, don’t attend college.

Diversity - Cool

I said in my OP that they and the government work together to keep wages low and do the bare minimum for employees. People do rely on work to make the money to buy the things they need. Millions of people working and living in poverty at the moment can’t go Eat Pray Love their way out of their situation. Sure, they…

They pay as much as their shareholders will allow them to, in order to maximize profits. Labor force is a big cost, so reducing the costs of labor by paying the bare minimum is what their shareholders want. Can you imagine if the US had a universal basic income? Then folks would have the option of saying “no…

Of course these people here are going to disagree with you. It doesn’t fit with their, “Corporations are bad, Mkay,” mantra.

The phone gives Tywin a pass but gives me Lannister. Bah.

Sorry, it lacked this scene to become a masterpiece. And some scenes from DS9 (technically in starfleet still?) could had improved it too.
