Yeah, the Bachmann books are without a doubt my favorite. Pure human tragedy. King himself may not like Rage due to school shootings but it got me through some tough times as a kid. The long walk sticks with me to this day. Simple premise, no pointless world building and leaving things like the Major up to your…

That one stuck with me too. I have such a vivid picture of some poor kid trudging along screaming “I CAN’T” over and over. Pretty horrifying.

Ahem - you sir - you have nailed it. The jaunt is not just a sci-fi/horror blend short story (one of the best I have ever read btw) - and not just scary horror, but the kind that you think about for YEARS afterward. But the scary part is the NOT dying - being forced to live that way for that long - then abruptly…

Not even close, Zach. The worst death in any King story is the fate of the wife who is murdered by her husband in the short story The Jaunt. If you’ve read it, even though that murder is not the main focus of the story, you will know exactly why it is worst death of all time in any King story, and probably any horror…

I don’t know but the death of the guy being pulled between the boards is the one that gets me more. I mean, the girl was pulled in by her hair during sex but being squished between a one inch gap in the raft freaks me out.

The Long Walk will always be my favorite King story. His best are always the human stories. Non supernatural, no aliens or monsters.

Always that one douche that has to bring trump and politics into it. Umpire blows for doing that to him. But for everyone’s sake you should be ejected from life

It sounds like some kind of human / tardigrades hybrid is what we need.. Long distance space travel would become easier. And because of hybrid vigor, when the Earth’s oceans start to boil, we human / tardigrades hybrids will be eating tardigrade soup. 

Are you implying that stealthing is a black or white issue? Please explain in detail and provide supporting evidence.

They spent all this time on this study when all they had to do was read the comment section on Yahoo.

This lawsuit doesn’t seem to have merit. The equivalent of blocking someone on twitter is leaving during a conversation. The president still has the right to never communicate with a person. Also, blocking a person on twitter doesn’t stop them from freely communicating on twitter. It blocks them from freely…

lol I love how these people are of such a low IQ that they dont understand how the 1st works in any way.

I would like to be doubly charged and doubly charmed. But all I got was a little strangeness.

Yes, but, again, the kind and amount of waste produced by nuclear reactors are DIRECTLY tied to the type of reactor being used. The generation of reactors operating in the US, the ones the NRC will greenlight, are the dirtiest of them all (and the oldest of designs). It’s akin to comparing wood-burning stove to…

Everyone knows who is responsible for NotPetya, so saying it is a mystery, is a way of avoiding invoking the treaty. If they decide to call it an act of war, and decide then NATO is required to fight a real war alongside any NATO member that attacks Russia with real soldiers. Now, the U.S. might refuse to honor the…

No, the problem is that the NRC keeps pushing the tried-and-true-and-crappy reactor designs that have these problems in the first place, rather than forcing the construction of newer, better-designed, more reliable, and tested-safer reactors that have not seen broad-scale industry usage yet. They’re forcing the…

It must be nice to imagine a dystopian world where no one gets dystoped.

He didn’t say anything about breaching first amendment rights. He simply stated it’s censorship, which it is. Whether or not there’s a consensus behind “justifying” said censorship in the realm of public opinion does not change that it is, in fact, censorship.

Presented without context? It’s not plastered on a bumper sticker or a billboard, it’s on the cover of a graphic novel. You know, the thing you read to find out what that cover is all about? What do you want, a friendly bubble that says “Hey idiot, this is bad, we think this is bad, and in this comic we talk about…

Yay, censorship, I love it.
