Not that I care a lot, but putting GW above HW is a wild take. They both sucked, but only one of them ate paste and called his teacher “mom.”

It’s more like a battle royale. 10 job applicants enter. Last one standing gets the job. No other education or experience necessary.

Yeah, that’s a pretty slick joke.

Shepherds are generally entitled to state compensation if wolves attack their flocks, but the bloody aftermath of an ambush is described as traumatising for people who live close to grazing animals.
“My meat animals that were going to be killed for money got killed and all I got was money” is a wild complaint.
Also, let’s not lose sight of the scoreboard:

Wild mammal populations have been absolutely curb stomped for a long time. Perhaps if they cut back on the human hunting of the wolves’ natural prey, this would be less of an issue.
Fair play to someone who kills a wolf on their property that’s threatened or killed their livestock, but a wolf hunting season at this point is some ecocidal nonsense.

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen another TV show jump the shark so quickly. Still, it’s kinda on brand if you read the series it was based on.

This Jurassic Park movie is getting weird pretty quickly.

Agreed, but good luck finding another planet with a tolerable amount of ecology, water, atmosphere, gravity, temperature and magnetic field within 40 light years. That’s the thing about ghettos, they’re isolated by design.

It sounds like you’ve confused the Nelson Bears with Berenstain Mandela.

In all seriousness, I believe it’s because this complex was made from an office building or other similar commercial structure. They tried to add more classical residential features to make it seem less sterile.

Well, I’m glad at least one of us can count correctly. I wish I had consulted you first, because that’s a more succinct and effective comparison.

Elon Musk.
Wait. Hear me out. The power to summon someone, hold them for an hour and force them to be conscious is really significant. Sure, there’s nothing I could say to have any immediate effect. I’d just mention that he should divest his wealth to the poor or else when my hour is up, someone else is going to summon him. It’ll keep happening until he’s no longer the wealthiest person. Then, keep going down the list.
- Comment on Just Watched the First Episode of Voyager and I Get the Hype, Regarding Janeway, Now 2 weeks ago:
As someone who likes her, I have to admit I accept the show as a product of its time. We’re about as far away from the 1995 debut of Voyager as it was from the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974. Later, in 1975 US military Academies accepted women for the first time. While it’s true a 24th century officer of the Federation should have little to prove regarding gender, 1995 general audiences definitely needed it to be explained to them for the same reasons that 1960s audiences needed Uhura’s position explained to them. It was very much still up for debate at that time. Sure, it can be jarringly anachronistic, but fans of classic sci-fi are well used to that. Moreover, it can and should keep happening until equal rights are established and accepted. That won’t happen in my lifetime or that of the next generation. Until then, I’ll happily grin and bear the occasional sections of condescending writing, because there are, as there always have been, people who need to hear that message put simply and on display.

I wish I could give you gold for this, but all I got right now is this box of one dozen starving, crazed weasels.
Also, there are bars on which’s jukebox one can play Weird Al’s eleven-ish-minute song, “Albuquerque.” Not everyone will appreciate it, so you probably shouldn’t. I just wanted you to know that you can.

It has some strong David Lynch vibes. We’re presented with a pretty mundane situation. Then, the events of the story slowly chip away at the familiar elements of the environment, revealing it to be a facade until we’re left staring at the ever-growing gap between individual perception and empirical, objective reality, calling into question various ontological and epistemological assumptions. It’s like staring at a photograph until we can see it as the cloud of particles that it is and then realizing that it’s always been that way. The intensely surreal feeling reveals itself to be the process of the mind resolving cognitive dissonance while accepting the infinite and stochastic nature of the physical universe. A game, a mislead, a piss beaker, and a bus. These elements changed us as we changed them by perceiving them, and then, life goes on.
