kelly has been called, so that should move them to +1

ED: the computer programs they use to display the models have *no* idea what to do with ranked choice. MA had a referendum on it, which is too close to call right now, but if it wins i wonder if they have to patch something in to deal with the weird nuance it adds

even i wasn’t quite willing to argue ww2 started in 1931, but you have convinced me. ww2 started in china in 1931 when japan invaded them, making munich ‘an attempt to avoid ww2' an even more ridiculous premise. 

those were not active conflicts that merged into the larger world war. the sino-japanese war was the flashpoint that led to the united states entering the war and expanded the war for england and the remains of the dutch. it did not end until japan surrendered after the atomic bombs were deployed.

the room (actual…

Yeah, who cares about the actual historical facts, it only counts when the white people get involved

‘In the days?’ I’m in my mid 30s and a girl a few grades behind me in school had that happen to her. People still do it

I didnt watch that show, but wasnt that more of a ‘I have to make sacrifices to persue my dreams’? This article makes it sound like the professional astronaut was oblivious to the danger of space travel until her therapist was like ‘hey, cant you die in space?'

Japan invaded china in '37, which is what brought the US in to the war in '41. The big 4 allies were england, russia, USA and china, even though they're typically forgotten in the west

wait, it never occurred to the astronaut that even a successful mars trip is likely to take nearly 2 years at a time when your child is in a formative time frame and could 100% kill your extremely fragile monkey ass dead (or at least have a lengthy recover time as you get used to gravity again.)?

ww2 had already been going for a year before the munich accords

i re-read that several times. then re-read it several more times.

is he.... good?

i was done when she revealed that wizards poop on the floor and just magic it away. it was a real ‘huh, now that you mention it, harry potter is actually trash that i don’t want’ moment

and the 1984 incident illustrates the issues they face- the holder of the original rights can demand amazon stop selling or hosting it and amazon has to comply. if congress wasn’t so useless, they should carve an exemption to digital goods so that amazon could continue to at least serve the goods to people who already…

Cask of the amantiallo, hands down.

i only did the baseline session, intended for the common rich dentist. And i did it at a time where the sex stuff wasn’t even on the horizon, so i don’t know what his ultimate plan was. i assumed it was simply to fleece people- when i looked up his past and found out he had a history of ponzi schemes i figured he’d…

i think he would have been an arguably better choice than ruffalo from an acting perspective. McConaughey can bring a level of unsettling intensity that he can switch out with his ‘chill dude’ in a way that ruffalo doesn’t. 

i’d argue for ‘a bridge too far.’ i think its because that movie wasn’t trying to be an anti-war movie, but it just kind of creeps in on its own due to the historical end of that operation. so you get all these heroic moments, triumphs of american and english fighting but at the end of the movie, they lose. and they…

I keep trying to explain to my mom that the Lincoln project are not good people who want to help her keep her health insurance. They'll ratfuck anyone who isnt a billionaire the moment they get a whiff of power again

Im waiting for the article about armond white saying the snyder cut is ruined because snyder had the gaul to post some pro-Democrat stuff on Twitter urging people to vote. His hollywood liberalism ruined it!

Also the rodents it will attract.... And the smell

i have not seen the show, but i once got very drunk and smoked a lot of good weed in the scholastic family mansion and slept in the George Washington room (everything in the room was supposedly stuff washington once owned.)
