Really? Because 20 years ago, when I was a teenager, hurricanes that impacted the US were rare events. People didn’t talk about “hurricane season”. And while there was occaisional crazy winter weather, it was “the Blizzard of ‘93, or of ‘96", that we talked about for years, not something that happened once or twice…

Wow, you might want to ask them about what it was like to have good reading comprehension while you’re at it. Global warming means we’ll have category 3 & 4 hurricanes *more often*.

Huh. I guess I didn’t know anyone who had a computer before the show started, so as a kid it seemed like the other way around.

Really? Maybe I’m too old, then, I was like 9 or 10 when this show came out. The only classic Nick show that I have really strongly fond “would watch again” memories of is Clarissa Explains It All.

I went to the scientology center downtown on a lark years ago, and it was full bullshit from the moment I went in. Now, it wasn’t “alien dictator” bullshit, but I did see a video about how if you’re depressed and you see a therapist you’ll 100% definitely end up getting a lobotamy and put in a mental institution, and…

Why, why are they making this movie? I actually liked this show as a kid and watched it a lot, but I cannot imagine why anyone would want to see a movie based on a 20+-year old kids’ cable TV game show that I don’t think was even immensely popular at the time. Who is nostalgic for this?

So basically, he’s getting his donors to pay for him to take a vacation in Vegas and see Celine Dion?

I don’t think it’s strange or shocking that people have wondered whether this was a real robbery. Now, if people are assuming it definitely was a hoax, that’s too far. But when a person who 1) makes a living off of her reality TV show about her dramatic life, 2) has a very dramatic event happen to her, that 3) early…

Yeah, Pence is clearly unaware that a lot of the movement towards a more gender-integrated military over the last couple decades has mostly been about meeting personnel needs. The Navy couldn’t recruit enough men willing to work on submarines, no matter what they did - but when they surveyed female Naval recruits,…

Yeah, I was thinking about getting this since Mockingbird is wrapping up, but this plot development is a huge no for me. Just a total bummer and not interesting at all.

Her current costume might be a little more workable, if still pretty heavy on the shiny metal plate armor:

Yeah, I was wondering about that. There might be something on the back and/or some details not immediately obvious from the photo that would make it more clearly A Black Widow Dress, but it really just looks like a generic black dress in that photo.

Also, Think Geek has a zip-up hoodie/jacket thing:

Yeah I’m super disappointed about that. Mockingbird is fantastic

It depends on the lease terms, but the tenant being responsible for the cost of maintaining the property is pretty standard for a commercial lease.

Without justice, how can we expect there to be peace? The Founding Fathers certainly didn’t respond to injustice with peace and respect for property.

DC is like 25% black males, that’s a pretty big lawsuit.

You can clean paint off a wall, it’s not ruined forever. And Trump is so unpopular in DC that I’m sure most people are 1000x more annoyed about him ruining it by turning it into a hotel than about some guy with a can of paint.

The bear’s mouth moved along to the sounds and kids thought he was talking. Primitive technology by today’s standards, but mind-blowing to kids who didn’t grow up with smartphones.

In California, until a recent change in the law that required students to be vaccinated to attend public school (unless they were medically unable), there were a bunch of communities where upwards of 50% of students entering school hadn’t gotten the MMR shot. That’s not few and far between.
