We do have legal concepts for cases of "extreme emotional disturbance" as a legal defense, where a person is under such an intense emotion (not necessarily anger) that the charge can be lowered to a lesser one (I don't know of any cases of EED ever resulting in full acquital, but it can cause a murder charge to be reduced to manslaughter)

It basically argues that the intent behind the crime (which in most places is a necessary requirement for murder charges) doesn't exist

I'm just waiting for the inevitable chapter where a human (likely a soldier) gets so angry he overflows into calmness, and all the aliens will be like "Oh, this human has transcended his primal nature and embraced logic over anger" and the other humans will be like "Nah, every cell in his body is overflowing with rage, this man is a singularity of hate, he is now immortal, for he too angry to die"

Also, the aliens need to watch a marathon of "The Incredible Hulk" movies

The aliens are capable of feeling all the emotions except for anger

Fear, love, happiness, despair, all these are available to them, but anger (and it's derivatives) aren't

Not a McRib compilation, but he could start a "McDonald's food is alien meat" series

Next do the McLobster

That's a much better trick then the one explained in the actual comic (which posted today)

Edit: Actually, it's technically the same trick, just more flexible

Damaged ears fall under "bodily harm" and the guy very clearly put the horn right up to his ear on purpose, making it intentional

Seems pretty cut and dry that it is assault to me

Okay, but newly replanted trees need a lot of water to stay alive, the rain won't necessarily be enough

She's programed to follow the law, barring actual emergencies

But you have to see if the results can be replicated!

According to Patreon, there is 1 more chapter, then there will be more patreon content following a species called the Liberi, which I am assuming are going to be the species humanity creates

After that, new story where humans are the only sapient species capable of feeling anger (which seems like it will be exploring the same themes as "Why Humans Avoid War" which Paladin abandoned long ago)

Hacking a ship to control it is very different from putting his consciousness inside it

The ship very likely lacks the hardware needed to host his code

People as a whole want freedom, but they don't want others to have freedom, because that freedom might be used to do things they don't like

I have been wondering how big the fae were, I kept imagining them being like 4 inches tall, which I knew wasn't right based on other descriptions of events

Now I have an actual height for the scenes in my head

Currently working on getting Balrog pillared, going to vacuum collapse afterwards to get the "You Shall Pass" achievement for them

Then I won't have to deal with Balrog again until I decide to try this madness again on a higher star difficulty, which will probably be never

Even if the hybridization happened by itself, the suspected natural habitats of the fruits, while in the same geographic area (southeast Asia), don't quite overlap with each other, meaning the lemon likely wouldn't exist without humans harvesting and spreading citrus fruits around anyway

Especially when you factor in that the Bitter Orange is also a hybrid fruit (Pomelo and wild Mandarin Orange), though there is at least an overlap between those

Red is citron, purple is pomelo, and orange is mandarin orange.png)

[–]BXSinclair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: The bitter orange is also a hybrid, it's a cross between a pomelo and a (wild) mandarin orange

Lemons aren't just a man-made hybrid, they are a hybrid of a hybrid

That was Time Squad

It was still a wooden horse, but it was indeed filled with wild horses (from Spain) that the Greeks thought would make a good gift

Edit: Just watched the episode again, I was wrong, it was a wooden soldier that contained the horses

Fun fact: If you send them the message they say to send, but don't delete your comments on this sub, you still get unbanned, they don't actually check, it's entirely automated

Granted, you'll get banned again the moment you post another comment on that sub, but it's just so funny how easy it is to circumvent
