Darmok, hands down.

Thanks!

Now it’s the Gavin for Governor ad. I guess it has less to do with the specific ad but it’s the ad player itself.

Hey Kinja, I know you have to make ad revenue and such in order to stay in business, but can you not do it in such an annoying way? I was reading the article on abortion group trolls, scrolled down to read the comments, and then the page started bumping me to the top ad of an article further down. Specifically, the…

Thanos spared me.

Fair enough. I just see folks from other states insulting other states in the US, and it gets to me when those same people wonder why “America is tearing itself apart” when they’re spreading the same amount of prejudice. I just assumed you were one of those ludicrous people from another state.

If you’re from another…

That’s only true of certain regions of California (Death Valley or Calexico, for example). Stating that the entire state is inhospitable due to lack of water shows a profound prejudice that I cannot fathom. Why the hate?

AUTOBOTS! Transform and roll Nope nope nope nope nope!

Same thing happened at my old work after 9/11. We had a Pakistani engineer and our CEO (of a fifteen person construction company) came into the office and berated him about how “his people” could do that. It was shameful and disgusting, especially considering how much the engineer sacrificed to come to the US to work…

That and in other pre-accident photos it looks as though the tendon cables (I think they’re called? I’m not qualified to really explain them— all I know is that they help with compression) running through the bottom floor of the bridge haven’t been connected yet. That would also weaken the structure.

As you mentioned,…

I agree. It seems like a quote he’s going to put on his Tinder profile.

People need to realize that just because you’re “with” someone doesn’t mean you’re tied down to them. Break up with them and move on, goddammit.

Just curious, are you aware of the circumstances behind DACA recipients? They were brought over as children by their parents and raised in the US. They have no connection to their native country except it was their place of birth origin.

For them to obtain H1-B visas, they would need to leave the country, spend a minim…

Speculation based on numbers proven by previous waves of immigrants

I’m curious why you linked that article, since it seems to support the idea that immigration is a good thing. From the article itself,

Fascinating, I stand corrected. Don’t be sorry if you are ultimately correct.

As for the cost... I still stand by the thought that it has a high cost for an inert mode of defense. The idea behind a wall, at least on the surface, is that it frees up human labor from having to patrol all areas of the border.

However,…

Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it. Someone needs to send Trump a memo re: The Great Wall. Not only did it fail to keep people out, it also bankrupted the nation over its long construction.

Superman 2, when the evil older sister gets borgified.

I totally remember and being freaked out by that one!

I do that sometimes, during an rpg or gaming session.

...Oh yuuuup, I’m a geek.
