    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Because it's the easiest answer, emotionally satisfying, but not the simplest answer. There is great reason to suspect that notion. Every generation goes through that idea. For the primitive, reality is the weather and the gods are above the clouds. For the romantics, reality is a steam...

    Who falls into anarchy first?

    This sounds flippiant but... no, seriously. Plus nukes. That doesn't mean that it has to be a place that you would want to live or visit.

    The Expanse

    It's a slow build. The first episode got me interested enough to read the books. After I finished the books I went back and watched the show. You probably kinda have to be in the mood. But when you do get in the mood, don't forget about The Expanse. God damn book Miller is even better. But...

    The Expanse

    Book Holden was pretty much lawful stupid. He's like derp-de-derp SPAAAACE PAAALADIN. I will follow my narrow code of personal ethics and impose them on not one, not two, but THREE whole societies! And my way is, demonstrably, not really any better! It's just mine! SPAAAAACE PAAALADIN...

    Doctor Who

    Clara was pretty. And the Impossible Girl thing was neat. But it lasted for about 3 episodes and that mega regeneration episode before they... sort... of... just... forgot... When Clara became just another person. Well, I never got tired of looking at her. So there's that. Needs to be more...

    He got tired of being called an IRL nazi and scolded us. We begrudgingly accepted that he's not an IRL nazi. He still posts. The Fuckin nazi.

    hearty chortle. She's probably just pissed off about having to take zyrtec. And fighting the drowsiness. Those antihistamines will change your mood all by themselves. OTC Zrytec is so weak though I'm kinda surprised that it does. Now benadryl straight up will make some people feel like...

    Who falls into anarchy first?

    Well, I mean, consider the source on that one. There's not a lot of outreach work going on in non garbage tier countries. At that point you call it a vacation, not a mission. Not that I know a hell of a lot about South Africa either. But what I do know is not favorable. Besides for the...

    You could say that American is on the way to being a cashless society. I'm old enough to have been taught how to write a check in school. No shit, they took like ten minutes one day to show us how to fill out a check. And we were all like, "Mrs. Gair... do you think we're _actually_...

    Yeah, me either. But at the same time I appreciate his dedication to a more in depth exploration of the topic. You can't just say, "Elon Musk wants to toss microchips into peoples BRAINS" without making him sound like a fucking monster. And... even though he basically does... it is...

    I only skimmed it, but it looks like he's talking about transhumanism. Well, the very first practical steps of it. That shit gets both really wonderful and really creepy really really fast. "medical miracles" is not an understatement. I'm not even against it. Not at all, I'm for it. The...

    When Austria goes it will be all at once. Overnight. Failure Cascade. The Austrian Government assures you that there is no corruption in the Austrian government. How could there possibly be? Corruption is illegal! STOP SPEAKING NONSENSE. Austria seems better off than many.

    Unless they play ball. Korea is interesting. The smart thing for Iran to do would be to develop an urgent desire to proof of concept thorium power plants. They could go from being sanctioned to subsidized.

    Of I Didn't say India is a great place. It ain't. Just that it's stable. They keep trying to kill themselves though. GMO severely disrupted traditional agriculture there, to the point where farmer suicides became epidemic enough to draw notice. You can't seed bank GMO seeds.

    Shia LaBeouf protest of Trump

    No. You're not. He's stupid and will an hero himself on camera. Way too many drugs and way too few actual friends to tell him, "that's not art. You're just a fag." Also no doubt he's holed up in a studio. Thoreaus mom used to bring him pies on Walden. And Thoreau could actually write.

    Have to say SA. India and the Philippines are stable. Now it might be the Philippines first if the American presence leaves for some reason. But I don't see any reason why we'd leave. India is remarkably stable. SA though.. I don't really understand how they haven't fallen apart already...

    Teenage rebellion is his motivation. Love it, hate it, that's what it is. Grandad was METAL. Eventually little kylo realized that it doesn't take Han five years to go buy a pack of smokes.

    They mostly do. The internet really changed modern whoring. J49's girls didn't have pimps. Except that one story he told about looking for a new girl and he got robbed by her pimp.

    How? How?!? Skinny Pam was tits. Them doing all the coke that they were supposed to sell was funny. That season was great. 1-3 are obviously the high point though. That's where you get all of your Raunchy Austin Powers erections. Pirate Island was also pretty damn funny. I don't mind...

    It's unavoidable. But really it's not even a legal argument. That shit that they wrote in the sixties was irrelevant before the ink dried. On the ground it'll come down to two basic questions for the competitors. Do you have nukes and are you willing to use them to stop the other group...

    Rian right doe. It did look kinda goofy. Not movie bustingly goofy, and I actually like that actor a lot. But he IS a goofy lookin dude to begin with. But you know, the little things. I'm not #1 star wars fan or anything (I like it, even new new hope), but I do appreciate attention to...

    The fuckzone actually kinda sucks. It sucks less than the friendzone. But it doesn't in a way. Men put themselves into the friendzone and can take themselves out of it. It's women for SURE who put you in the fuckzone. I mean got laid doesn't matter, obviously. But it actually kinda sucks...

    I'm sure he could get that moisture farm running again. But apparently he just wanted to hide on some island. No work ethic with these Jedi. At least kylo's out there force choking bitches. Yeah, he's sad and insecure and a try hard... But he does put the work in.
