It does seem like something's gotta give over there. As much as i'd like to pretend they are, the interests they (and trump) represent aren't going away, but thy are going to have to find some way to realign that gets those people into a tent they can live with.

Yeah they up as embeds by default if they're posted while you're on the page, but if you refresh or come in later, it's just a link.

I felt like rose being primarily into men was a big part of Pearl's song. This notion that she knew she could never be what Rose was into _that way_ but was ok with that until she saw a guy who threatened to replace other parts of her relationship with Rose.

Apparently even just a light veneer of allegory lets you discuss whatever sexual relationship stuff you want on a kids' show. At least this power is currently in good hands.

My personal touchstone for this phenomenon was that (first) time Naruto had two people pressing their swords for at least one whole episode, and just kept cutting to them not having moved at all.

Well, there is a real thing people call folks they're dating that has that basic form but you can't say it on a kids' show, so…

What were those called/when does that regularly air?

Maybe they used to ask more questions and do more interacting and investigating, and it just consistently went badly. You show somebody nuclear power, they're going to try to harness it no matter the risks, but if they go through 8 consecutive meltdowns with no successes, maybe not so much any more.

I think they'll have him buy a more successful business (possibly without him being too hands on with it) so that he can fail at the car wash without starving, but not actually have to be busy with anything.

That ritual was a BIG setup for (so far) such a low level of payoff. Especially given how dark a lot of the magic in AT can be, this was like reading a Lovecraft story where a guy finds a twisted idol from the bottom of the ocean, translates its previously unknown script…and is totally fine.

He's off-style in some other ways too. He actually looks a lot like a Simpsons character who portal gunned his way into SU somehow.

Ah, i see they do both, cool. So more specifically, i was getting at the fact that if you have a pair on a specific spot we'll call A-B, your clone does too, but if you sexually reproduce with yourself, you and yourself's child could be A-A, A-B, or B-B, and unfortunately after a few generations, you're nearly…

It's your standard "he was always such a nice neighbor!" As though people capable of murder would just murder every single person they talked to without exception.

Self-sexual reproduction isn't actually the same as cloning is it? You lose a lot of information somewhat randomly rather than making a copy i think?

Should i bring any cake for all the dogs?

It's a sign of how awful normal spam is that i was RELIEVED to see an incoherent religious rant in that spot.

Well it's also just the whole word for "peace" right?

Sometimes it was even shittier powers like "having epilepsy"

If "palmistry" and ointment got you convicted, i'd have been in some real trouble if they barged into my room.

It's interesting how many people did or could have reasonably known at the time that these were bunk. You didn't actually have to be Richard Dawkins to think spectral evidence had no place in court, and this wasn't just the product of how backwards the population in question was. That didn't help certainly, but you…
