Yeah I have mixed feelings about this too. I hope they have data to show that that is not necessary. If I were in charge I’d have large parking structures around the perimeter of the transit network so people can get to it from outside of town and are able to use it easily without the friction of finding a spot. That way more people can get to it and use it but fewer people need cars within it.

No they will absolutely still pull some funny stuff. I imagine they’ll just use the old ‘in two weeks’ trick. It always works for them so why not.

He’s not a MAGA bigot at least but he’s really fucking shameless at promoting himself. I’m glad there are guys like him drawing in the views with anti Turnip stuff but it’s too thirsty for me

My favorite memories came from when I finally got fed up with the low level griefers and built my own to fight them while engaged in jolly cooperation

It’s a matter still at the heart of scholarly debate but I’m more in the camp of if you’re fast enough you probably could attach a bloodied genital or two

Yes but you leave sinful things like your genetals behind too so there’s really nothing to cover anymore anyway

Where I come from we call this game the Jim Carrey

They recently had the AI village experiment AI plan and carry out an event. They did finally have the event but there were some hiccups like they had to keep reminding the AIs that they were not coporeal and could not do things like drive to pick up the cake or make and bring signs to the event.

Nah we’re fine, it doesn’t use processing power until we observe it. Maybe if we set up a bunch of observation posts and intentionally tried to DDOS reality, but I’m sure it has enough resources for our puny science.

It’ll end up blocking vital neurotransmitters leaving us zombified and giving us an insatiable craving for brains

Yeah it’s so damn lazy, like they introduce these things like they’re in a vaccum, situationally just to have a cool scene and toss any kind of continuity aside

I should go back and read that again, I remember loving it so much. Also remember when Disney announced that the extended universe would be discarded to make room for new cannon and how much my heart sank hearing it.

Rogue One was really close to what I want the franchise to be. Having a universe with the force users instead of about the force users is so much more interesting.

I have always wished for a serious grown up version of Star Wars. Like not being afraid to sever limbs like they used to, or worrying about your scoundrels being too scoundrel-y. Also really taking an inventory of everything and seriously thinking about how it would interact.

Like to your point - no need to toss out the more magical force elements but maybe just tone it down a bit and ground them in reality a little better? Because it’s absolutely ridiculous how they’ve become these invincible laser blocking demigods. They should be afraid to deploy, just like anyone, if there’s going to be shooting. It’s just lazy writing most of the time and it would be wonderful to see what a skilled hand could actually do with it all.

We don’t need to split hairs - ‘sci-fi fantasy’ or ‘science fantasy’ is a real genre and common enough term.

Yep, Colorado is probably as geographically mid-west as it gets and you’d get resistance from almost anyone living there if you insinuated they were Midwestern.

Plus, hasn’t he pretty well decimated the GOP ranks? Any worthy competitor has been exiled or humiliated or both leaving the ranks filled with only sniveling sycophants and uncharismatic bigots.

My partner hates them so I always try to get them to a safe location as soon as I see one.

It’s not unpopular, it’s just stupid.

Decades indeed - this coalition of the ignorant and racist and hateful and afraid doesn’t happen overnight. They’ve been pulling these people together for a long time - I mean Willie Horton was like in the 80’s and even that wasn’t the beginning.
