What are you talking about. the upper can brace against a backward force because it has steps behind him. The lower cant. Plus the lower has to lift their lance upward while the upper needs to lift it less. The high ground has a clear advantage here.

I had a friend tell me her strategy on unsolicited dick picks was to respond with pictures of other dicks in shoes. Often coupled with comments akin to ‘you couldn’t pull off these stilettos, but maybe you could try a kitten heel.’

The act makes it illegal for state and local governments, private businesses, employers, schools, and daycares to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive any other “medical intervention.”

So if I ran a PRIVATE daycare, I couldn’t refuse to accept people who weren’t vaccinated? I knew this was stupid, it always, but I am just blown away by how stupid. The layers of dumb are confusing.

California has the largest population of Republican voters in the US (couldn’t find numbers for Texas, I think they don’t have voter party declarations?) https://usafacts.org/articles/how-many-voters-have-a-party-affiliation/

The Fischer King came out a decade earlier, let along Awakenings, Goodwill Hunting… even Good Morning Vietnam was overall a very serious movie.

Interesting. I dont think they are metal though. Sound like Rock to me, but thats just my opinion.

The answer has already been revealed. Its all about outsourcing to the lowest bidder. El Salvador, Uganda, Eswatini.

We had many years of continuity, just like any other normal nation who has free elections and policy shifts. We are in a new paradigm now. I agree the shift really started with Citizens United and the corporate grab for power (politicians are just owned by the corpos). That can be reversed but it is not going to be easy. Falling into sects just cedes power to the corpo masters.

I think you would be surprised how bad the neighborhood would get with the US broken up into waring factions.

You really think so? I know ‘america bad’ and all, but the US did do a lot of good in the world as well. I think it is evidenced by all the harm the Trump administration is doing by illegally decimating congressional approved programs abroad.

Lets face it, if the US falls, the EU is going to be scared shitless, it will be largely ineffective in the global arena. That leaves china and Russia to swing their hammers on anything they want, and they want a lot. They need a lot.

how quickly will BRICS snuggle up to the greater Texas petro state? What is their next move? Mutual defense pact? Plus with aligned states cutting the two coasts apart up through Idaho, there are really two seperate ‘liberal’ nations, not one. Oh, and California has the largest population of republicans outside of Texas so, not a lot of support. The US would be carved up and devoured in 2-3 years. It would no longer be a world player. That is already clearly the goal and it is working. I dont know why people want to accelerate this rather than attempt to reverse it.

Every. Damn. Time.

How is it news still?

A house divided cannot stand

Check out F/X. It’s litterally about practical special effects. It’s been a long time but I remember liking it a lot. I wasn’t subscribed to Fangoria but my buddy was.

I was talking to someone about dead alive earlier this evening at my 8yo bday party. Such a classic.

“I kick ass for the LORD!”

Careful what you wish for. I’m not disagreeing, but when the powerful are fearful, it will get worse before it gets better. Could be a whole lot worse.

Just pick Burmese, covers both. I’d probably choose that and Japanese.

USB wall-wart

Ive heard good things about that comic, less so about the TV series.

A dark comedy take is Creamerie. Definitely recommend.
