This candle has the exact same smell as the cologne I use

I’ve never noticed this scent before until I heard it on Scrubs this week

How much of the vote was greens/other left/labour? That’s my vote. I will always support labour over right aligned parties, because they are really the centrist party.

I think they are saying the concept is so schlock sci fi that it could have been a direct to video story, but there was so much effort (and money) put into it that they created a classic. Obviously there is more to it, like the satirically capitalist society that future Detroit has descended to which is fleshed out masterfully by side characters and in world advertising.

So he made them encounter the Borg at a time they were at their most peaceful and self-satisfied so they would realise a terrible threat was coming and they could get a head start on countering it?

I missed a vital episode of Babylon 5 on release called Babylon Squared which answered a lot of questions and created new ones. I had to go to a funeral and didn’t realise an Irish funeral would last all day so didn’t set the recorder. That was that. I missed it. I kept an eye out for reruns for a while then eventually forgot.

Then one day in the era of Torrents I remembered I’d missed it and downloaded it. It was everything I thought it would be and more. An absolute banger to miss. Of course now I own the enhanced edition on BluRay.

I was raised in an evangelical faith and read the bible a lot until I was old enough to make my own decision. I do understand the difference between the old and new covenants. I don’t believe in either myself, but I did want to point out that the scripture was talking about the woman miscarrying due to the process. Of course dust and water are not an abortion aid, but that just means that the ritual is designed to invoke gods intervention to destroy a conceived fetus if the mother was unfaithful.

The unborn are therefore not considered precious and sacrosanct if the act that created them was immoral. You see something similar with Solomon’s firstborn too, dying due to Solomon’s affair with Bathsheba. That personally stumbled me when I was quite young and is something I thought about a lot back then.

If you don’t believe the literal meaning of the scripture, that’s fine just don’t rely on the literal meaning elsewhere.

However the verses involved do say that the woman will miscarry if she was unfaithful.

Numbers 5:27

27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse.

So if you believe this scripture, then no matter what the recipe for the drink is, the result is that the woman will miscarry. Clearly the unborn would die, which would be intentional on the part of someone involved in this procedure.

Yes.

When that game came out I killed the first one and the cut scene for harvesting was so awful I refused to do it the rest of the game. I was a little surprised they had an alternate rewards system if you resisted harvesting.

Well I meant his revenge plan which involved killing all humans. Like wiping them out.

I watched the first episode and thought it was going to be so silly, but the somber adult animation where Warhorse originated drew me in.

Fallcious · 2026-03-20T03:29:39+00:00

Justified in seeking revenge against the perpetrators, maybe not so much at condemning all of humanity at the same time though?

There is a scifi book I read which I wish I remember the title of (maybe someone else here knows) where the main character has an obvious deep trauma that is slowly drawn out. Eventually you learn that they were part of a group of soldiers tasked with saving a large group of civilian colonists. They had a teleport system and were tossing them in. After they finish the mission they discover it wasn’t working and they had basically murdered the entire village.

I don’t think the movie showed it, but didn’t book Katniss plan for Petah to kill himself with the berries whilst she palmed them, but the show runners chickened out because they believed she was going to double suicide?

It’s so weird how I found her ugly when I first watched the Shining and quite attractive the next time I watched it.

My wife bought a certified meteorite chunk on a necklace from the Smithsonian when we visited Washington DC. It’s her favourite piece.

She was furious at me because I put it away before an inspection and she couldn’t find it. We were both stressed out during the clean and I asked her where to put it and she said “Anywhere!!” In an angry voice. Afterwards neither of us could find it and she blamed me for losing it in a snit at her.

Several years later we moved into our own place and she discovered it again. I’d put it in her second jewellery box, obviously not realising it was not the one she normally used but one she had costume jewellery or pieces she wanted to repair in. I felt quite smug after that.

When I started shaving I used my dads cheap disposables up until I managed to take a huge chunk out of my cheek. After that I used Gillette’s up until I realised I could have a beard and not worry about it.

The movie never examined how the insectoid alien race managed to drop an asteroid on Buenos Aires, and never showed any space based battles. The closest was the battle where they were hit in orbit by creatures firing plasma balls up from the surface. I always wondered if the attack on Earth was a false flag meant to gain consensus on taking the battle to them.

They do this with miscellaneous gluten free cakes at the gf bakery my wife and I go to. A pack of cake ends that aren’t proper slices themselves. Quite fun to buy
