I literally told my wife yesterday that Evangelion is an anime I don’t like, but I respect it.

$1,500. lol go fuck yourself Cam. Paris to Charlotte. That is a 9 hour 20 min flight.

Hate the game, not the player.

Ah, well. This article’s headline is certainly some type of prescient.

He sounds pretty Schur about it, so I trust his judgment. 

What’s wrong with me if I read that and thought “I should try that”?

The Holodomor. The genocide few people know.

I think we also have to take into account that, at the time, an RBMK reactor exploding was inconceivable to them. So when Dyatlov lies to them, that it’s not that serious, they latch on to that lie pretty quickly, because accepting the truth would essentially mean, accepting that you’re possibly already dead. They…

Or they would’ve spun it as a fission surplus and hailed it as proof of the efficacy of the worker’s state.

And truth be told, if that disaster hadn’t happened where it did, close enough to the iron curtain that the effects were detected by western bloc nations, they might’ve gotten away with covering the whole thing up.  It reminds me of a disaster during the days of the space race, when a rocket exploded on the pad,…

Eh, Pripyat was considered about as close to the “utopia,” the USSR was trying to sell to its people, as they were gonna get. It was considered a privilege to live in such a town. They would have had good reason to make sure nothing ever happened to anyone in that city. And barring that, they would have definitely…

The part that always makes my jaw drop the farthest is that first crisis meeting, when they propose evacuating, and then the party leader says, basically, “Yeah we could do that, or we could bar anyone from leaving and cut the phone lines.”  

I can’t find it, but I remember seeing Gary Busey on some late night talk show where he said if you mix a squirrel’s blood into its brain it tastes just like strawberry yogurt. So... there’s that, I guess.

sorry i wasn’t clear. i don’t think squirrel brain-eating is a thing here on cape cod where i grew up but it might be. i’ve never done it myself. i read about the situation in tennessee & did not have first-hand knowledge of it so i was trying to be funny with my remark.  & now it’s not funny at all.

In this series Picard has the ability to make women’s clothes fall off with his mind. They’ll try to put them back on, but he’s already seen everything.

Fair. My biggest concern is that the show turns into an Alex Kurtzman clusterfuck of boom-boom-run-run mysterious big bad with no pathos or character. So my point, though I in no way articulated it well in my previous comment, was that at least a competent writer is on the show. From what I’ve read of his interviews…

This is a great point. DOTA and LoL are goddamn impossible to follow if you don’t actively play the game. At least Overwatch’s matches are designed to where win and fight conditions are clear — You capture this point. You push this cart further than the other guys. While the action itself may not be super easy to…

actually, it never went away, it’s just that antibiotics can cure it if you get them in time & most people don’t live in houses whose floors are covered in rushes & filled with vermin or eat raw animals. people still get it in america (the trick is to get it diagnosed right away, most docs don’t know what it presents…

Is your new DA Harvey Dent?

I dunno about Boston - a lot of the pizza places around here are really Greek restaurants. If a place doesn't have ricotta as a topping option, but does have feta, its pizza is usually going to be pretty terrible (based on personal experience).
