Well, that's the thing. If one allows things to go too far one way or another, then extraordinary measures are needed to correct things again.

But these are both on the Authoritarian end of the spectrum. The opposite would be Liberty.

I'm a centrist in this case, because "anarchy" isn't so much a "political system" as it is a transitional situation. Eventually, whoever has the most effective weapons will decide what sort of government there will be. You need rules and structure (Every social animal has this) but not so many that it chokes the life out of people and you can't let humans rape the fuck out of nature either.

In fact, I think what is happening in the West is orchestrated to make a mockery of Liberty, as a way of showing how shitty humans are when the yoke of Law and Order is lifted too much ... as an eventual excuse to slam that yoke on and put a lock on it forevermore.

They LOVED trading cheap and easy to steal skins of inedible non-humans for metal trinkets.

All the fuckers who whine about not still being in the stone age are welcome to strip naked and knap them some stone in the boreal forest. Preferably in February.

The Brits allowed the River Raisin massacre (War of 1812) to happen because their injun allies threatened to take their manpower elsewhere if they weren't allowed to do whatever they wanted ... which included scalping, and killing/enslaving little kids.

What got me was the whole "take turns fighting the enemy one at a time" bullshit. Like, come on, there's a half dozen of you, and only one of him, gang up on him and kick his ass already!

I thought the talk about 10 foot monsters in Miami was supposed to distract from the Epstein list ...

Wut? I've moved cars with 300K on the freaking things. They were basically clapped out wonders that used-car dealers used as beaters, but they were still good enough to be Ontario street legal ...

Interesting, but I think whatever happened to Mars is supposed to have happened more than a million years ago. I mean, it's not that far in the past, humans existed and were already using fire (if not actually making it themselves) by then.

I would say any bases would be underground, which would make them that much harder to find, outside of anomalous heat signatures, or gases around vents.

But no matter what, they're going to push a "naturalistic" explanation until they can't, I'm sure.

Thing is, we can't be sure if we aren't in the same position as urban rats, or raccoons. To them, the cities they live in are just as natural as we think forests are, and if someone suggested to them that the entire landscape was created by humans, they'd probably find it heretical/offensive ... especially when you consider how much faster they turn over generations than humans do. A thousand years for humans is only about 50 generations. Small mammals can do that in half a century or less; for rats, just a few years (and then consider that relative time may run differently for them, in so that they experience their life span to be just as long as humans experience theirs. ie, rats might celebrate New Year's every sunrise ...)

And there might be multiple species, too. There's been tons of time for other species to get at least as far as humans have gotten, and plenty of classes that could offer candidates.

I haven't heard of that specific interview, but I'll look it up.

One thing I've noticed very recently is increasing mention of "hairy" aliens as well, even aside from that low-level buzz about that numbers station a couple weeks ago or so.

Those Peruvian doll-things kind of scream "shell-less turtle" to me, and it seems such creatures did exist about 225 mya. Everything else around them seems like a big clown circus, though.

They aren't aliens, they're from Earth, and humans simply weren't the first to take the technological path of survival.

The reason they don't like nukes is because they've caused mass extinctions before. I can never get an answer to whether or not that iridium layer that was supposedly laid down by a meteor 65 million years ago couldn't also be from a Dr Strangelove-style Doomsday device ...

But it also means the cartoons themselves can also be parodied freely, that is, not Mickey himself, but the situations he's in regarding those cartoons' storylines ....

Yes, and that would be because of getting burnt when he was just first starting out. So the modern company inherited that DNA and amplified it.

That being said, I remember my grade school let an older kid paint a picture of Elliot on the wall in the basement next to the library when Pete's Dragon first came out. I wonder if it's still there?

"Unisex" toy aisles already existed. They were the aisles with all the board games, jigsaw puzzles, Slinky, Play-Doh, Lego, Colorforms/Spirograph, etc were on.

So let's see if the "activists" ree against this, or if it'll be quietly ignored because it's not the kind of country that fits "The Narrative" ...

I would really dig a small town with a DQ instead of a damned Subway any day ...

Back when Tim Horton's wouldn't open shop in any place with fewer than 10 or 15K residents, small places with A&W were a godsend while driving all over the place; but that was also when they had really good coffee (the same coffee is apparently what Raunchy Ronnie's uses now, which explains why their coffee improved ...)

There was also the ancient concept of gods being tied to the land their people claimed as territory.

"How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?"

Beetlejuice 2 is 3 decades too late. Same with Beverly Hills Cop 4. The reason they didn't make a 4th one was because the third one was not well-received. Beetlejuice just went on to have those weird-ass cartoons.

I dare them to race-swap Axel Foley.

After all, he doesn't have to be black, right? Right?
