What a great fucking show. I had the same thought about stormfront though. Wtf, she can't even play a racist convincingly. Yellow? Really? I'm not sure that's even offensive.

This looks so good I'm starting to care less about afrochani.

Wait a second, Flagg is not Satan, he's like half demon, right? I guess it was the Dark Tower series where they explored his origin and nature but I thought he was half demon, half human, not Satan himself. Any DT experts care to confirm/correct this?

It sounds like I missed a key reveal somewhere, when do they show what the dad is? Great show.

I dont get it. From the brief shots in the teaser, it would appear that not only did they actually cast white guys for Flagg, Nick, and Stu, but they actually even cast a white girl for Frannie. How did this happen? A 2020 remake with no race swapping for woke points?

I've been slowly training my children to eat onions like a goddam normal person, by gradually adding more and more to their food. (Obviously the marinara always had onions in it, which makes your complaints about spaghetti puzzling - ya cant make marinara without onions) You should try it.

Yeah, the show has one of those implausible white male / black female lead couples. But you can't blame them very much, it's literally the rule in Hollywood. You are not permitted to make a TV show or movie without one in 2020, sorry, thats the rule. At least they did it in a plausible setting...

Dunno what the problem is here, I've been assured that only 'acting ability' matters, and only a bigot would insist on casting someone that looks the part. Are you a bigot sir? No? Ok well tranny storm it is then! At least they didn't cast him as rogue or jean yet. Be grateful.

This is where we are. Anything said by any scientist must be false. Even nuclear winter is just overblown fearmongering. Bunch of doomers. I love 2020

In theory couldn't a well stocked bunker in some other continent hold survivors for long enough? I have not read enough predictions about a Yellowstone eruption.

Great job destroying the local economy with your forced evacuations. People die all the time, but the economic devastation from the evacuation will last a lifetime. Free michigan!

Do you personally know anyone affected by this flood? I dont. More scaremongering from the fake news media.

WTF, margarine is still a thing? And actually selling out? I thought everybody had realized butter wasn't bad for you and stopped eating this artificial shit.

Like much of the shutdown outrage it's an overreaction to the loss of a trivial preference. Nobody said stop exercising, they just closed the disgusting sweatboxes where people congregate to exercise in ridiculously close proximity to each other. Gyms were gross and unappealing before covid...

The sequels never happened. GEOD is top tier sci fi. The first books are just prologue; Geod is the story itself.

In English, when the speaker refers to 'your experience in Academia', which of these is he referring to? A) his own experience B) the experience of the person with whom he is speaking C) it was sarcasm intended to highlight the established fact that once again IRB is talking about something he...

Tell me more about all your experience working in Academia Willywonka.jpg

God emperor is one of the greatest sci fi books of all time, and the pinnacle of the Dune series. The others (by Frank) were epilogue. (The prequel shit Never Happened) It has amazing built in visuals. The worm body itself. The terraformed Arrakis. Idaho's climb. Letos death. I want to see...

The liability issue is huge and one of the only reasons I can see to justify nationwide rather than local shutdowns. Here we are about to reopen and we still haven't addressed it. Fun times ahead... lawyers are gonna be set for life.

I cant like this post enough for your correct description of begs the question. I see well respected scientists get this wrong at every conference I've ever attended. Maddening

This. There are good arguments that the FDA is too risk averse, if anything. If the FDA approved it, its almost certainly safe, along with a bunch of others that didn't quite make the cut but are also safe enough. Worrying about vaccine risks is right up there with claims that nutrasweet kills.

They put all the autism in the first round of vaccines. It is known.

Liet Kynes is a black woman now? Wtf I must have mentally erased that because it was so goddam ridiculous.

Sounds like they cast white people to play white people and an Asian to play an Asian And then oops, random black chick. I'm sure no one will notice she's a different race than all the other white fremen. This isn't complicated.

Video is inherently inferior, don't sell yourself short by talking about learning styles. The increasing use of video instead of text is making the internet objectively worse. And the people who fixate on video lengths miss the point entirely. Text is just superior. The worst is when it's...

How many pics of her did you have to scan before finding one where she looks surprisingly attractive? Sounds like a fair punishment for your defense of blatant raceswapping for woke points. I'm sure some of her glamour shots look good, thats what theyre for. I was talking about pics from her...

The rest of the cast is looking ok, but black chani is less attractive in each pic they release. If they couldn't cast someone who looked the part was it too much to ask she not be fugly? Still watching. Won't be able to help myself.

Surely this is the one thing we can all agree on. I went to college outside the city and we went in every now and then. Always amazed me to think people live like that willingly.

All the models say outside of NY we're far from the peak. IMO these problems are the result of one size fits all federal guidance, but that may have been the only politically viable strategy.

This is the untold side of the economics of the shutdown. Some industries are seeing 2-4 fold increased revenue. People like to make fun of it by picking silly examples of industries seeing this effect (e.g pot stores) but let's face it, most of the shutdown horror stories are from unimportant...

no

This idea keeps getting floated. I dont see support for it. Yes, a recession will kill far fewer people than a bad viral outbreak, at least in the US. Our poor people have more problems with obesity than starvation. A recession will suck financially, but it won't kill anywhere near the...

I was being sarcastic, but you're the second person to comment so that must not have been clear. I meant the opposite.

I dont know why theyre doing all that. I've been assured by internet experts that just about any kind of loose fabric worn in the general head area protects you from the virus. Medical people are such fearmongers.

I wish it was only stupid frat boys. I found out yesterday my family, including both 70-yr old parents one of whom is fighting cancer and has had pneumonia multiple times, are its just a fluers. They read somewhere on the internet this was just a flu and the liberal media is hyping it to take...

Leave it to WA to wait to be peer pressured into doing anything about anything. Not like they were one of the first points of US infection or anything, lets wait and see!

Which reminds me of my never ending jimmy rustle - assholes who use speakerphone. Its like they saw it on TV once and decided it was an acceptable way to interact with their phone. It should be codified in law much the way as stand your ground laws in some states. "Oh, the person you killed...

That must be nice living in states where grocery stores still give you motherfucking bags.

Exactly the same thing has happened in Universities with exactly the same effect on costs. Administrators are cancer.

But while we're doing web based jimmy rustles Web pages that change the focus on loading so that when you click page down, page up, or backspace, it does nothing. WTF, am I expected to click and drag the scroll bar? If I want to select that field I will click it, thank you very much, now give...
