Hello Uncanny Valley.

You think that’s bad? Some Orthodox women have to cover their hair - but nothing specifies with what - so they wear perfect realistic wig replicas... of their own hair... to wear over... their own hair.

This stunt didn’t end so well in Sleepers:

Canada has hate crimes legislation too, its mostly been used against Nazis. A small town teacher taught the kids in his class bizarre Jewish conspiracy nonsense he was fired AND prosecuted under hate crime laws.

The mother of an ex of mine was a young nun when it was discovered she had a congenital heart problem that would require regular moderately expensive medical care for the rest of her life. The order couldn’t kick her out the door fast enough.

Like a lot of long term Judokas, Rousey already has some pretty serious damage to her neck. That kind of a kick to an already damaged neck could actually be a career ender. Most professional athletes live lives of pain after their primes, ranging from mild to debilitating. Ronda’s will be at the high end.

Jaguars are also one of the few animals that will intentionally hunt humans. Most avoid us like the plague we are.

A friend of mine had a brief but florid pychotic break and after dropping by my place wide eyed and paranoid then dashing out again, spent a week in a locked ward after pushing a grocery store cart into a neighbor’s house and sitting on the end of their bed and chatting with them until the ambulance arrived.

Hmmm I’m the exact opposite. Utterly oblivious to cues verbal and nonverbal. One exasperated girl finally grabbed my arm stared deep into my eyes and said ‘Do I need to spit in your milk?’

Yeah, be careful with Grave of the Fireflies, brilliant but deeply deeply bleak.

The way his eyes dilate as the delayed nut sacking pain reaches his brain is awesome though. I suspect that the combination of practical effects and CGI to make him work on screen cost megabucks for every minute of screen time giving them strong incentive to shuffle him off-screen at the earliest opportunity.

The Federation wouldn’t need Q to win. They are smaller society but also a much more advanced and socially cohesive one. In a conflict with the Empire the Federation’s far more advanced technology would let them hold their own and the longer the conflict lasted the more Empire planets would peel off and join the…
