That’s why I always have a rueful chuckle at the “...or the terrorists win!” line.  Uh, they did.  They reorganized our society to a ridiculous degree and it’s proving fatal for exactly the reasons you mentioned.

I guess I need to clarify that I fully understand this will not be the same experience as seeing the totality.

It’s just a way to establish your place in line, since the deposit amount is so comparatively trivial.

This is why I’ll be perfectly content staying where I am and observing the ~80% eclipse we’ll have here in the bordering zone.

Much like Apocalypse, just go to YouTube, find the clip of the movie’s scene where Quicksilver saves everyone in bullet time, and you’ll have seen the best part and the only part you need to see.

“Sufficiently advanced science, bitch!!!”

I absolutely love this “Here’s What We Know” article.

Damn, after me and the kids had these for literally the first time ever just the other night.  Didn’t notice any plastic crunchy bites, at least.

Sure, but if there’s a single person on the face of the Earth dumb enough to fail to consider all of that, it’s the guy who got high and accidentally bought Twitter for way more than it’s worth and then drove it directly into the fucking ground.

I think the second one lived up to the first, but the third was definitely a drop, though still enjoyable.  This sounds badly disappointing.

Thanks.  The typo I just noticed and no longer can correct is killing me, though.

“I’m not donating money to either candidate” doesn’t mean “I’m not donating Trump money for his appeal bond” or “I’m not loaning Trump money.”

Although that still would have been sufficient to impart the necessary knowing.

In fairness, they’re also sometimes about Jesus being a muscular white guy who beats up foreigners.

On the one hand, sure.  On the other hand, death by train is perhaps the easiest type of death to avoid already, and I’m not sure how possible it is to prevent a determined suicide.

No worries; a turtle riding a flying cloud will catch them with a fishing line before they hit the ground and deposit them safely back onto the track, helping himself to a few of their coins for his troublese.

Yeah, skipping directly to Anna Taylor-Joy between films is a much better way of cleaning that up since there’s so much that would be REALLY tough to do with Infant/Toddler Alia in a visual medium as opposed to in the novels.  I think it was a great choice.

“a faithful adaptation of Chani is basically just Neytiri”

That’s genuinely great to hear!  

Hey, you made some truly great music, but goooooooooooooooooooo

“in a post championing “the traditional family” and securing America’s borders from the “millions of people coming in.””

Fuck yourself!
