With Sci Fi, occasionally a story still "tricks" me, if I can manage to not have it spoiled. 3 Body Problem had some twists in it where I went back and said "ah yeah that makes sense," but I hadn't already predicted the outcome And that's the best feeling IMO.

Can comic book conflicts be resolved by anything other than sweating a lot to generate a bigger power bubble than the other guy? Sci Fi has its Deus Ex Machina, but I consider those to be lesser moments.

I don't know if it was 'Turf, but I saw a lot of people posting on Twitter to impeach Governor DeWine.

Except that the EU could become the opposite of what it is now if Hungary leaves. It could become a bloc against them consisting of most of their neighbors who now refuse to trade. These things are a bit infectious. If France exports to Belgium and Hungary exports to Belgium, the Hungarians are at a disadvantage if they alone have trade duties.

Isn't the whole point that people can move freely inside? So how would Hungary sending people to Brussels be bad?

IDK what kind of ship this is, but are they going to surface from a 6 month deployment when a woman gets pregnant?

What I was going to say is they self-contradicted. If the males and females were "fully integrated," they wouldn't need separate shit.

Where's that? I know prenups are generically invalid in some states.

In Georgia, ballot counters are hired by Stacey Abrams. Aside from the conflict of interest -- which is apparently A-OK with their governor, btw -- your intuition would indicate that these people aren't going to be capable of a job of this magnitude and importance. They don't pay a lot, especially after the middlemen get their cut. It's like a drug dealer hiring 7/11 employees to count his stash.

I think the sect of Christianity that doesn't eat pork is Jews for Jesus -- or Christians who come from a place where pork is culturally unclean. Where does the Bible say you can go ahead and eat pork now?

I pick up memes from everywhere, but that "villain origin" one seems lame and gay. No offense to -- probably the whole forum -- but comic book fans tend to be on the unintelligent side of the geek spectrum. The fluidity of their stories turns me off, whereas I like the Sci Fi/fantasy where there is continuity and rules.

Mess with em.

With the lefties I just bring up the painful failures of socialism every time I get a chance. Like, oh man so hard getting to work today on these Shit roads; I sure miss my old toll road.

A lot of non Slav or whatever people bizarrely adopted Ukraine. This kind of crazy does not surprise me.

If it was a squad weapon, I can see how it gets that designation. It's more than "arms" potentially. "mass" is open to interpretation.

What I meant with businesses is favoring Republicans. Ideology is secondary, but there ought to be something to read into which party they buy. The initial hookup is protection from competition, like you say.

One explanation I've floated is that the kind of business that makes the most money in this country changed. Other than money business I mean. And so the party affiliation followed the new geography of money.

If Democrats' monetary base was made up who they imply, they wouldn't have any money. Back in the day, it seemed like business was a column against leftism. When Exxon-mobil was the largest company in the world. In the days when it was Apple, I don't think coincidentally, big business fell in with the media, and the bureaucrats, and the dependent class. My point is I think we're outside the world right now. Every bit of power that clings to relevancy seems set against us. But it's like losing a mutiny on a sinking ship.
