He’s been dead to me ever since he refused to recognize his daughter from an extramarital affair and doubly-dead since he started shilling for the CCP. “I’m gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we’re not being controlled, we’ll just do what we want.”

Mutual Defense Treaty provisions are triggered by armed attack and confirmed through formal protocols. They do not come into play just because of some dredgers. And they certainly don’t suddenly grant the U.S. standing in an international court.

When you say anime, are you referring to the the original animated movie, the Stand Alone Complex series, or ARISE? Because she looks different in all three, and you’re kidding yourself if you think she looks white in all of them, especially when she was a kid.

How will they handle it? They won’t. Look at what happened to All You Need is Kill. As for the romance, well, Batou having an unrequited love for the Major wouldn’t be entirely without precedent...

I read the original. They didn’t look white to me.

the Major is a synthetic human, and to my knowledge it is never clearly stated that she is of Asian descent.

The Major is a cyborg.

Nope. She was 100% human before the plane crash. ARISE is the only adaptation to claim that she never had a real body.

The students clean it up after the graduation ceremony. The students at the school have been doing it for a decade.

More like a Neato Botvac. Roombas just bounce around pseudo-randomly.

“While it is true online shoppers can search and find options for tax-free purchases, in most cases, these amount to the seller failing to collect the sales tax.”

Forget betting on the Super Bowl. The January 9, 2016 Powerball drawing didn’t produce any winners, and the jackpot was $900 million.

Are you kidding me? I’ll do the time travel. And I’ll just need to time travel once, in a car built in December 2015. January 9, 2016 was the biggest Powerball jackpot with no winner: $900 million.

Dividing 37 5/8 by 2 is difficult? I’ll grant you that finding the midpoint of a diagonal is clever, but

Well, if nobody else is going to say it...

Not particularly relevant to the post, but:

1. The vast majority of bullets come with a copper (diamagnetic materials can be repelled if exposed to a sufficiently strong electromagnetic field), nickel, and/or steel jacket. This is to reduce the amount of residue left in the barrel: lead is soft.

From what you’ve written, I’m fairly certain that you have no clue about what a food desert is. Perhaps you should read up a little more on what they are before you rush to judge others.
