Yes. Sure, people look different with their glasses off, but they're still recognizable.

The usual way makes everyone in Metropolis kinda stupid.

I remember a really bad sat am cartoon from the late 70s/early 80s where the family of superheroes only changed clothes. No eyemasks, nothin'. And no one recognized them .... Whatever it was called, it kind of deserves to be lost media ...

Citizens? How about all the non-citizens that were allowed to get in without getting who can use those tactics as enemies agents? Remember rumours of Chinese soldiers coming in via Mexico?

They already caught one chink. How many thousands more to go?

I know for sure that if they try to trot out some ridiculous "grey" as the other species, the first word out of my mouth is going to be "fake".

Drones are already geofenced, according to what drone hobbyists have been saying. They stop working if they get too close to restricted airspace, and cops of one sort or another are on the operator's ass in minutes.

What is suspicious to me is that the narrative keeps changing. And base incursions started in England as well as the US east coast back in November.

What's up there now is undoubtedly a lot of civilian and police etc drones looking for the og "drones" that started this flap, but the real "drones' seem to be coming off the ocean, and while they might have "lights", they're not necessarily FAA compliant lights.

Best case scenario: US government/industrial fuckery and gaslighting.

Worst case scenario: Sino-Russian fuckery and US gaslighting.

Outlier scenario: NHI (not necessarily "from space") fuckery and US gaslighting.

No matter what, trust in Washington is going to tank even more than it already has done, at home and internationally.

I played a bit of Ara, it's actually kind of interesting so far. Gamepass. I like its mechanic better than Civ VI's districts, at least.

"Consumer" "drones" that shut down bases in the US and the UK with impunity. That shut down airports in the US (and apparently China). But no one shoots them down. Because local first responders are warned to use hazmat equipment should one crash.

Geofencing? Bah. Not for these "drones".

But there's absolutely nothing to worry about, and they're not "foreign adversaries" ?!

When these clowns say "don't worry", start worrying.

Just wish people would be honest about them.

They're the human equivalent of wildlife. What an aurochs is to a cow, what a wolf is to a dog.

All apes use tools, all apes eat meat. That was suspected as far back as the 1960s, been recently confirmed. Evolutionarily speaking,the common ancestor of all humanoid apes probably used tools and ate meat, too, rather than these habits being picked up independently (although they've been expressed differently, in different areas just as they express differently across humans in different biomes. eg, only some tribes fish for termites, others are hammer and anvil using nutcrackers; savannah apes use spears, forest-dwelling hunters of duiker use clubs.) Humans are just the ape that specialized in technology (which includes fire for cooking and warmth, and loincloths to keep the ants out of the bum.)

Humans didn't become domesticated until they settled down and started farming.

There were no civilizations in Canada when Cartier came, only wildlife.

The Sentinelese act ike vicious wild beasts, because that's exactly what they are (and it's exactly what they're treated like, but as endangered ones.)

They couldn't be happy with niggers running stone-age societies (civilization literally means "fit to live in a city". A bunch of tents that move every season that are inhabited by members of a single tribe is not a civilization. People farm. Animals hunt and gather.)

He was downright somber when asked about the "drone" incursion, though, wasn't he?

It's interesting that stars use fusion to eventually crap out at lead, while radioactive materials all eventually decay down to lead. (iirc). Lead itself is pretty special, even if humans don't think it is, apparently.

It kinda seems like a plot hole now, but I simply can't remember if Gizmo tried to warn the human about the clock.

I think Giz certainly fears he'll turn. In the first flick, he obviously knows what's going to happen, but he has no way to warn the humans about Mogwai trickery.

Dude, I'm about the only one who will say the Church was NOT "being silly" for putting non-humans on trial nor for "being evil" for also tying kids and retards.

They were merely being fair.

The current system assumes all non-humans are guilty and deserving the death penalty especially for the "crime" of self-defense against a human), while kids and tards are automagically innocent even of murder and cannibalism.

Christ, they could have still had the lezzie character, but she sure as fuck wouldn't have been advertising herself as such.

She simply would have described herself as a spinster who lives with her sister/best friend/whatever. And that would be it. Adults might know. Kids didn't need to.

And questions like "Why didn't you ever get married?" would have fallen entirely within the realm of "None of your business, stop asking rude questions, kid".

That was the Raiders intro. Beat for beat.

Playing on gamepass, not much further than the intro yet.

Seems to run fine, but I've got it on a beast of a brand new laptop, so it seems stable enough so far (but the heat is worrisome. First laptop. I wish to be ... gentle .. with it.)

Meanwhile, the spouse and I recently went to a four-band show from the 80s, and the guy from Men Without Hats was all over the freakin stage like Peter Noone 30 years ago. Honeymoon Suite dude was also pretty active, and he's not thin any more, either.

And these guys are geezers

Their obsession with the hijinks the medieval church got up to is apparently just jealousy ....

Won't pay the tithe? We'll go see your ... Our ... Bankers ...
