Haven’t seen it, but it sounds vaguely similar to “Tie me up! Tie me down!”, an old Antonio Banderas movie where he’s released from a mental hospital, then kidnaps a woman to convince her to marry him. But I guess with a little more wealth involved, but equal amounts of ickyness.

Also, sometimes “not dying” means “needing a lung transplant”.

Also apparently not impaired by that brain injury enough to impact his ability to continue serving in the Air Force 11 years later.

I always felt like the doctor comparison was the most appropriate, since there are legitimate ways a person could die in their care. A missed diagnosis, a bad prescription, etc. And there are times where someone could die because a doctor couldn’t save them. And those things result in major investigations, even when…

I do not fucking get it with the hand washing. I work at a pretty nice office building, most of the other places here are like insurance companies or hedge funds or whatever, very white, very affluent, plenty of Teslas in the parking lot. And you would not believe the number of these assholes who don’t wash their…

This is definitely deliberate and definitely Stephen Miller. It’s a dogwhistle to all the racist clowns, saying “Hey, I know you’re worried because we have to make all these statements about police reform, and how it’s ‘bad’ to murder black people. But don’t worry, we still remember what we stand for.”

Not sure I can parse what this line is supposed to be:

LOL at the people who have apparently never filled out any form that includes race information, because apparently they’ve never seen the “White (non-Hispanic)“ checkbox.

Also Blades in the Dark, which I already have the physical edition of, and a bunch of zine RPGs.

Regarding your patriotic grandpas:

I mean, you felt so threatened that you spent more than an hour hanging out right nearby?

Let’s see...

Loved Honey & Clover. The ending doesn’t give a damn about the tropes or living up to the audience’s expectations. So it’s a bit more like the romances you actually had when you were young, rather than a storybook.

I dunno, once they start in with the “your kind” stuff, they tend to be the types who are proud and open with their bullshit.

Didn’t the dudes who claimed they got abducted by aliens pass a polygraph?

The next step in the playbook is that when people do start dying at increasing rates, “This isn’t the time to politicize their deaths by suggesting we actually do something to prevent further deaths.”

The thing I find funny is the cops didn’t have anything to say about her apparently leaving her kids unattended for four days.

Those Mirage buffs sound kinda OP. He definitely has needed some, but cloaking when reviving seems really strong.

Can’t entirely dismiss the racism angle in re-opening the country.

Well, they were all supposedly Top 3 hits in the year they released, so they were pretty popular. But a song that cracked no.3 for one week in 1962 isn’t going to have the reach of, say, a Beatles song that stuck around at no.1 for months, so there’s definitely some variance.
