1- LA already has the facilities built. Especially an iconic Art Deco stadium that’s hosted two previous Games. It’s got universities and sports clubs beacoup, anything that needs building will get plenty of use. It also has sewerage treatment plants. Already better than Rio. (gross!)

All nations have those sports, at least the ones that have the common sense to build sewerage treatment plants. Brazil was a giant flashing red siren bleating disaster, don’t come here , but the IOC did it anyway.

So what? You still have poisoned earth and water, a lot of people dying more slowly from radiation exposure, and plenty of chaos. Nitpicking over nuclear winter is absurd.

I can feel it - thousands of morons thinking Oh! A fix for that fake global warming thing. Except, the staving, the cancer, the poisoned zones. Not just food, but water supplies. We’re a scant century and a half away from the end of the Dark Ages, and people think nukes are acceptable.

There is no such thing as a “small” nuclear bomb. Those are the death that keeps on killing, regardless of size. Just hope for a big one, and that it gets you, because the slow excruciating death from radiation poisoning is far worse. At Hiroshima survivors had the dye from kimonos blown into their skin by the blast -…

Actually, the alt rights use of snowflake comes from the Nazi use of it, as a threat. Somewhat veiled by the “special snowflake useage” But as used in The Man In The High Castle, snowflake references ashes dropping from the ovens used to dispose of bodies at death camps. Calling somebody that is a death threat. They…

Suspect Melania may like being the queen. She’s in on all of it, Trumps weird ideas, the grifting, she’s hit massive paydirt hitching her wagon to him. From stripper to rich wife to first lady is quite a ride for an Eastern European soft core porn model. She’ll put up with plenty to keep the ride going.

Yes, there has been a Boudica movie. Released in the US as Warrior Queen, it’s a British TV production starring Alex Kingston, who was perfectly cast. I loved it. There’s also a wonderful monument to her in London. Old girls got a long, strong fan base through the centuries.

A dog who’s really well trained and will come when called - every single time - is the only candidate for a retractable, which I see nothing but problems with. But a dog that well trained can be let off leash in a rural or unpeopled environment.

Fizzle? Can you get to a final at Wimbledon? No?

We called it Screwing Off In Class when I was taking notes. It’s still just screwing off in class. Looking at sm is exactly the same as it’s analog precursor, passing notes. Or staring out the window.

Mental health pros have been all over this. Publicly, some couldn’t in good conscience stick by the Goldwater rule. Privately? Mention Trump araound a decent shrink and they turn kinda green maybe look kinda paniced. They understand just what a monster the man is.

Why people believe in Hell, because the Lake Of Fire is about right.

It’s probably that thing called The Law. Terminating her parental rights requires specific action be brought to do so. Hasn’t happened, so he has to allow visitation. Notice it’s limited and supervised? A truly bad judge wouldn’t have bothered addressing this, the child would be unprotected in the mothers presence.…

It’s brick. But the fabric stretched into “art” on the counter is a huge trap for spatters, and so smells and bacteria. And a fire hazard.

These just put one smell over another. First thing you do is take out the garbage - It can completely reek up a big house. Then open a door or window and air out. Or use the vent fan over the stove. Then Clean! That stink comes from somewhere.

It’s a racket. And those drugs really do destroy lives. I speak from experience.

That’s not the Wellbutrin. That’s the normal. The drug worked for you.

No, no no. Darth Vader is the most evil, badass character ever to hit a screen. He does not compare to other characters. He is Dark Lord Vader of the Sith. Show respect.

Continuity errors. The problem with putting a massive set of books on screen is the need to pick and choose. In the books we get a ton of information on most of these things, but they’re cut for time on TV. Arya becomes Nymeria in her sleep every night, and pulls her mother out of the river as the direwolf. Warging…
