For me, it’s like playing Magic the Gathering, but when you kill creatures, you have to destroy the actual card. Not a huge fan of the idea when everything is so disposable and cheaply made now.

Sure, he brings people together, like in immigrant detention centers. 

Something like TWO children were killed with lawn darts, and those are banned. Maybe 10 kids died worldwide from choking on the toy from Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs, and those are banned in the US. One guy unsuccessfully tries to detonate a shoe bomb on a plane, now everyone has to take off their shoes before…

“Armalite Rifle”, actually.

There was a guy who used his girlfriend’s pregnancy test just for kicks and it turned up positive, but was actually an indicator for testicular cancer, which will cause an elevation in beta hCG levels.

I found the GTS3m to be hard to control, even after I adjusted the tensions. Might resort to over-lubricating it to slow it down.

The Alpha V is seriously old-school. I used it briefly and it was good at the time, but it’s been obsoleted many times over the years. Since then, we’ve seen the Dayan GuHong, which was made obsolete by the Dayan ZanChi, and then brands like MoYu, Gans, and QiYi started being used to break competition records.

None of these are used by the pros. Get a brand like MoYu, QiYi, or Gans, preferably one with magnets in it.

This is a pretty interesting event, although it's going to be difficult for casuals. You will have to dedicate a chunk of time playing in a pokestop-dense area before stumbling into a Rocket pokestop (Rockestop?), but if there is a dedicated tracking website set up for your area, you can save a bunch of time that way.…

Someone pointed out to me that the cultural trend tends to be to over-order, and then just leave behind what doesn’t get eaten, and then give people funny looks if they try to doggy bag it for later. However, given that we’re starting to recognize that food waste is becoming a serious problem, there’s been an effort…

My apologies. Due to how exhausting it can be to follow American politics, I crack jokes in order to stay sane while staying informed. As it is, I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but I recognize that what happens in the US sets the tone for what happens everywhere else.

As it is, the impeachment process is long, expensive, has no guarantee of results, and if it fails to result in the removal of the president, is going to blow up in the Democrat party’s faces. Personally, I think it would be faster, more cost effective, and effective if they were to just continuously feed the guy…

Dan Slott’s She-Hulk was a great take on breaking the fourth wall. I’d very much like to see something resembling an adaptation of Single Green Female, but if I’m not mistaken, the rights are tied up with Universal.

Really? Whenever I pre-pay, I only get charged the amount I actually put into the tank. The card gets authorized for up to $X, and if I only want to get a full tank, I only pay that much. But, YMMV (haven’t used that acronym in a while, but it seemed oddly appropriate for the topic).

That was in the final telefilm, The Death of the Incredible Hulk. Much preferred The Trial of the Incredible Hulk and The Return of the Incredible Hulk. 

Good lord. Are focus groups not a thing in Russia?

On the other side, if fighting is completely eliminated, you see an increase in the kind of dirty play that fighting is (unofficially) used to curb, which means open season on the highest scoring players.

Religion isn't the problem, it's religious institutions.

You sure you want to have the ether? That’s the only thing in your list that worries me. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge.

Since nothing exists in a vacuum, it’s invariably going to be compared to previous iterations, especially over an 80+ year period. Having Superman act the way he does in Man of Steel is the equivalent of depicting Jesus Christ with a machine gun.
