you’d be surprised. A fairly large number of them are quite miserly, even in their personal lives.

oh. yeah. that’s different, SSD’s are wild.

I like seeing the ugly text. Blink and you miss it.

I dunno, but I think I need to know who Mr. Hoo’s weed supplier is.

that bird is totally stoned.

“I am grateful to God that I am still alive today,” he posted, and shared a surveillance video appearing to show a man with the weapons.

“While heartbreaking, it could have been so unimaginably worse,” the post continued. “God have mercy. Doxing is not a game.”

first off. bitch, please. doxxing is Fuente’s weapon of choice.

Secondly, why would this guy, whose being hunted for police for killing people he knew… go to Fuentes’ house?

My guess, he was seeking help in hiding from the cops. (though also, that kinda looks like Fuentes… are we sure it’s Lyons?)

I may have heard this before.

I certainly cannot confirm or deny its veracity….

Not at all….

I know, right?

You know, it’d be super based if somebody were to be like “You know what, don’t worry about it. it’s really not our concern.” and then when BiBi gets there be like “You know what, on second thought, we’re making it our concern.”

You know, I still say it’s incredibly depressing we didn’t loan them a couple A10 warthogs to hit that convoy that was pushing to Kyiv.

I mean, seriously.

all those tanks… all those fuel trucks and other supplies? all just lined up and stuck on a road? just waiting for an A10 driver to just… do their thing…

remember, folks, if you don’t obey in advance, you can get cool shit.

like golden traffic cones.

(which was added after people were doing traffic cones on statues and Glasgow just gave up and gave in.) (Non-serious issue, with a serious reminder,)

alternatively they could hypothetically just remove it during routine maintenance. Also its rather unlikely that they’d really need to use the ladder- I rather doubt people are scaling sculptures to slap them on things. it’s going to be mostly in reach of the ground.

A bigger problem is that most cities and towns will have an ordinance requiring immediate removal- meant to combat graffiti; and while most cities won’t be arsed to follow the ordinance themselves when Karen calls… well, it’s just less annoying to send the dang truck on a special job.

Just gonna throw this out there.

You can buy googly eyes in bulk on amazon. about 5 bucks for 2,000 in assorted sizes. Self adhesive, even.

Riker was held up as a positive role model to him. is it really any surprise?

You all just know River was falling into every thirst trap they could.

Remember that time the addictive VR game from his lay of the day?

Really, he should just keep it in his pants.

(The feet joke is a reference to one of Brena’s lines? “Start with the feet and work your way up.”)

He likes feet, too.

(Brenna Odell, the primitive farmer chick,)

I dunno. but I’m giving it 50/50 odds the Y’All Qaeda brigade imports this to Murica in the next 4 years.

so… an alternative meaning of “beard” is somebody who, you take out as +1 to hide the fact that you’re either gay or otherwise not dating as society might expect.

Riker is almost certainly not gay. Maybe bi… but he’s definitely into farmers

Okay, I was thinking this was a not-the-onion article.

Then took the jump to see what happened and this entire thing is pretty NSFL. You’ve been warned.

excuse me while I sanitize my computer and take a shower.

“No? take a vacation.” - your fantasy boss.

So… if it has robots and space and cloning, its science fiction and if it doesn’t it’s not?

so by that definition Marry Shelly’s Frankenstein is not proto-SciFi?

Or Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? The Steam House? Around the World in 80 Days?

Or HG Wells The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Sleeper Awakes, and The Invisible Man are not?

Or maybe Snow Crash? …Children of Men?

I find it hilarious that you’re criticizing me for gatekeeping. Science Fiction as a genre is much broader than just space, or robots, or cloning. or any of the cool, glittery-glowy-things.

Sure, any single work can span a few genres. Even things you might not necessarily think go together like Comedic SciFi as in Red Dwarf, Farscape or Dr. Who. Sure, books and movies don’t have to be overt about it, and most the really good ones aren’t. The core of Science Fiction is (or any form of speculative fiction, really,) is asking “the question”. It’s asking “what if…” For example, The World Well Lost; the scifi elements are secondary to the emotional and social aspects.

If you enjoy Avatar, that’s great. I’m glad you did. I found it annoying, cliche and trite with terrible plot development and horrible characterization. The science or technological elements in Avatar could easily be removed for more…historic… settings, devices or straight up objects. the Unobtanium could easily be replaced with Lunar regolith or some sort of fancy Martian Marble™️ being sold for countertops. Or Inca gold. Or Peruvian emeralds. or anything to which an obscene value could be placed.

It serves no purpose at all to the plot. none of the technology or science or technology influences the characters, the plot or anything else. The entire movie is an orgy of CGI and an anti-capitalist screed. (nothing wrong with being anti-capitalist, mind.)

Ultimately, genres are delineated not because they’re necessary for the art they’re describing, but because people want to know what they’re getting into before they sit down and watch it. When you tell me something is scifi, and it turns out to be horror with aliens or… a marvel superhero movie… I’m not going to be very happy with you.
