I also seem to recall we'd gotten lucky in that had they attacked another time near the Pearl Harbor date, they could have caught the whole fleet in or near the harbor. Had they totally routed the Pacific Fleet, the whole tenor of that part of the war would have changed.

Yes. Thanks to the Internet and social media, that space where one might forget some detail of the past to have new nostalgia is gone. No shame may die, and no fun is exempt. As it stands, I think it's a good point to riff on if they ever do the Back to the Future remake in the same vein of the 80s/50s divide.

Sourcing would be good, and there are at least two issues with the chart I can see. First, all this shows is the measurements are under expectations, but still part of a (lesser) rising trend. Second, this doesn't necessarily show the measuring methods are the same presumed in the predictions. If the two don't match…

The three things I'd love to see on that list:

Slade is the troll Starling City needs and deserves. It's just wonderful.

There's a common 'critique' of evolution that the entire premise of change through genetic mutation is impossible because information theory is supposed to say that information can't be created randomly. I'm curious how you'd address that, since it's pretty clear there's something wrong in their understanding of…

He's postulated that it's cool, though, so calm it down.

"Democrats are anti-science when it comes to nuclear energy, genetically modified foods, animal testing that sort of thing."

"It kinda misses the point of Superman not killing, but it makes that scene a little more tolerable"

Well, he clearly knows it was all under the ocean during God's Genocidal Party Flood. Checkmate.

"Stupidly Bolded Hypotheticals" is a good Tumblr name.

It's just adjusting to externalities of the market.

Especially so far out, never mind that one specific person would still be born, but would Britain even exist? Would the Tudor or whatever bloodline still be a thing? There's something to be said for having those touchstones that people can work with, but changes that far back in time have change cones that make it…

The book supposedly covers it. It just seems so infeasible as to be more a block for me than the idea of some form of FTL travel.

But this would give a gigantic advantage to anyone who can defy the 30 year slip. On one hand, you're basically 'gone' to the rest of the society, but there are so many logistical problems that it seems more infeasible to me than just handwaving some form of FTL.

Actually, no, they're simply acting like people who have a baseline understanding of things you might need to know in a modern life.

Yeah, *-*-*-*-*-* is all I see. What combination is that? The joke depends on it.

Hey. Have you guys tried the new Internet Exploder 10?

Given that the X-Men comics continuity is such a big clusterfuck, I respect the movies for keeping to that. The next three rebirths of Jean Grey are going to be exciting!

Looking back, there were two major issues with Green Lantern. First, the presumption that Hal Jordan had to have angst and self-doubt over the ring. It's way out of character and wasted a lot of time to create a sense of drama that detracted from the story. Second, Parallax was the biggest premature ejaculation of…
