Also pig are native to a wetter, jungle type environment. Raising live in a desert is a very inefficient use of water, a vital resource.

His last comments on that on his webpage made it seem like the first time he acknowledged that it’s very likely he doesn’t finish his story. Started mentioning other works that were never finished. He also says the publisher wanted to split the book into two but he refused this time. Sounds like he just has no idea…

Thank you for posting the scummy pictures that were no one’s business, ya piece of shit.

I think Danza’s due. Hawk, too. Shalhoub’s overrated. Yeah, I said it. Shalhoub hasn’t earned his Tony!

There’s no way it’s eternal, or damnation for that matter.

Agree entirely. The story is essentially a good one, with great characters, a great plot, etc. But the author’s angsty preoccupation with Christianity is about as nuanced as a 14 year-old athiest at Thanksgiving dinner.

I BOTH DO AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE ANGER SOME PEOPLE FEEL UPON LEARNING THAT NARNIA WAS A PURPOSEFUL CHRISTIAN ALLEGORY.

Jesus, I feel like Miyazaki just punched me in the stomach just from watching that... I can’t even imagine how awful that felt for those guys.

I think I read them too old; I liked all the world-building, but could never shake the sense that Pullman was taking hourly writing breaks to flip off C.S. Lewis in a little hate-shrine he’d built.

We can’t watch everything. I’m predisposed to like anything by Wyatt Cenac, and watched a few episodes of the show, but early on, when I saw him riding his bike to another group session, that was the signal for me that this series wasn’t for me. I liked the various bureaucratic aliens, was intrigued by how they were…

Maybe it’s just nostalgia talking, but I have a fond childhood memory of climbing a mountain trail in the rainforests of the San Juan islands, and seeing massive banana slugs, and thinking they were pretty cool. Of course, that variety typically doesn’t eat people’s gardens, either.

Depending on the definition of “fruitarian”, they can eat nuts, seeds, and even grains and legumes. I know a lot of fruitarians are “juicy fruitarians” who only eat what you or I would think of as fruit, though. The one longtime fruitarian I’ve ever met looked like she had tuberculosis. That might not have been the…

A bit reductive, but not out-and-out false. If any part of the fruit is removed (skins/peels/etc) that would normally be eaten with the whole fruit, this can reduce nutrition value.

It’s not the same, because this method results in delicious potatoes.
