Yes, only Black people all look alike.

Nope.
Time travel to the future, get an Acme Mynd-Reeder Helmet, and then go back and listen to Homer recite it while peeping into his mind and experiencing it as he’s imagining it.
And don’t cheap out and get the Mynd-Reeder Model 17. Go all out and get the 23.

Let me put it this way.
On another site I posted that one of the reasons given for the Afghanistan invasion was to deny the terrorists a place to train. Bush, Cheney, Powell, and every other planner said it.
Someone replied that no, we didn’t use the terrorist training bases as a reason to go into Afghanistan.
Your joke is by no means the dumbest thing I’ve read in the past 72 hours.

It’s 2026 and that joke isn’t the dumbest thing I’ve seen posted.

You do realize that you’ve shown one picture out of a process that took over three months?
It’s like getting a picture of a driver looking in their rearview mirror and claiming it proves they never looked at the road.

You do realize he watched the dailies after seeing the filming live, right?

“The Man Who Sold The Moon” is wrong about pretty much everything, but it’s still a great read.
HG Wells and Jules Verne are never going to go away, because their books are still fun.

Luna - New Moon by Ian MacDonald is a fun read. Luna is controlled by a few great families whose ancestors were among the first colonists. It’s been about a century since industrialization really got going.

On one hand, it’s a really good. On the other, the future it predicted failed.
Let’s start with the author’s ideas about prison. When the book was written, cartels and prison gangs were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today. The idea that there’d be no gangs running the Lunar prisons might have made sense in 1966, but not today.
I also get a chuckle out of the idea that it’s easier for a computer to achieve self-awareness than it is for that same computer to create a realistic video image.
I use the term ‘antique science fiction’ for older books that are fun to read but can’t be taken seriously.

Yes I have.
If you need me to explain it to you, I’ll direct you to a ‘search engine’ called AskJeeves.
It doesn’t cost much, and once someone shows you how to use it you can find out for yourself.

This.
There are billionaires in the Chinese Communist Party. North Korea calls itself a ‘democratic republic.’ The Reddest US states are also the ones taking the most money from the Federal government.
Any discussion of political labels outside a classroom is folly.

Did you bother to look at the book?
There are probably a lot of jobs out there that you’ve never heard of that you’d be great at.
I was told to do something I’d never considered, and it turned out to be a great fit.
I started out wanting to work in the arts, but found out that I didn’t want to deal with the personalities. Got a different career and never looked back.

This book actually helped
“Discover What You Are Best At” Linda Gail.
Turns out that having a job that fits you makes you hate work less.

So was Queen Isabella. She also married a powerful man.
“Wife” = woman married to a man.
“Political” = relating to politics.
“Political wife” = a wife involved in politics with her husband.
What part of that confused you
- Comment on Hot leaf juice 3 days ago:
So, instead of using the interwebs to learn something, you use it to try and make me feel bad.
I feel pretty good, seeing that I was right about the way you think.
Thanks for proving me right.
- Comment on lust vs love 3 days ago:
Worked hard to marry two of the most powerful men in the world.
What would you call it?

You might want to consider buying some sort of electronic device that connects you to the ‘worldwidespiderweb.’
The ‘worldwidespiderweb’ is a network of difference engines that allow anyone to access vast amounts of information.
I just used it, and found the answer to your question.

‘Delectable Tea…Or Deadly Poison?”
Apparently, in your case, it’s both.

Watch the actual shows.
FU’s wife is a willing participant.
Also, there’s a long, long history of political wives who schemed along side their husbands.
Lady Macbeth sound familiar? Cleopatra? Elanor Roosevelt?
But yes, Hillary and Bill are the only two it could have been. /s

WTF are you talking about?
The US version of ‘House of Cards’ was taken from a British show.
The fact that you used ‘US House of Cards’ shows that you know this.

I skipped “The Americans” when it first came out because the idea seemed so silly.
Somehow I decided to give it another go, and ended up watching the whole thing in about a month.

I think I gave up on that show in Season 1,095,000,003.

Year One was a movie from a 2009.
