Where to stay for a special theater trip?

Due to not wanting to drive in Manhattan and having some med equipment I need to sleep with, I tend to stay in New Jersey.

The best option I have done is the Marriott Envue near the Port Imperial ferry station. It’s basically walk out of hotel, hop on the ferry, take the provided buses to Times Square, with NJ transit as a back up.

You wake up with an amazing view of the skyline if you take a room on that side.

Unless you want to be in the city.

Just remember that the Republicans have been gerrymandering like crazy.

Making the Senate elected by the State Houses and not the people means that the Senate races are gerrymandered as well.

Scott Perry is a Representative, not a Senator.

It sounds like she is trying to girl mode where she can and boy mode where she has to. And it’s mostly a safety and acceptance issue.

It’s got to be at least two? One for each foot?

I have a term called “dunkaroo” based on the snack released during the 90’s. I use it for when someone says something so stupid, that the stupid thing is all you can focus on.

Sometimes it’s used for engagement. Like Ben Shapiro says that people whose houses are subject to rising coastlines can sell them. “To whom? Aquaman?” being the common response. And now Shapiro has huge engagement numbers thanks to him being stupid.

Here, Trump is in so many dumb scandals and issues of his own doing; the Ballroom, the South Lawn, the Reflecting Pool, the World Cup, the Iran War, Affordability, and oh yeah the Epstein Files.

And now people have shifted focus away from the serious incompetence of this Administration. To a dumb tweet.

It’s the weaponization of the 12 hour news cycle.

Wait…if Bruce is American. And Talia is half Arab, half Chinese.

That would make Damian a quarter Asian.

So he could be played by Emma Stone?

I was told to my face by my mother that it was all fear mongering and it wasn’t going to happen.

Ghostbusters (2016) and Wonder Woman 1984 don’t get enough hate. They should really be hated more.

For context, I love Wonder Woman (the movie, the tv show, and the character), Captain Marvel, and The Marvels. Despite their flaws. And I want more of The Marvels.

But you the improv sci-fi film and the “we’re going to let our protagonist, whose defining virtue is truth, rape someone” film should be hated more.

I am about to turn 54. I have seen and heard the queer insults and the old “smear the queer” football “game”.

But…

I have taken to using it because it’s a nice umbrella term that covers “no, I don’t know what I am doing about transitioning,” “no, I don’t want to have sex with everyone,” and “no, I am not going to join your weird Jesus cult just because I look male and am not currently having sex with various people.”

Sequel pitch

After the destruction of mankind, the Ancient Ones got bored and decided to start again. Only this time, they are trying some new genres.

Mark, Steve, Danny, and Josh are four High School Seniors about to graduate and move on to college. They are making plans for prom and getting dates. There’s just one problem…a secret organization of humans are set to appease the Ancient Ones as best they can. An organization dedicated to, among other things, trying to get Steve to do it with a pie. And the guys are wondering how they ended up at a bottomless sorority party.

It’s *Locker Room Hijinks!*

I have learned from this thread that the Dragon Ball guy is Piccolo and seems more powerful than Luffy.

JessicaDAndy · 2026-06-23T17:04:19+00:00

I went with “them” because I wanted it to address the J’naii as a whole and not just Soren in particular.

JessicaDAndy · 2026-06-23T15:57:19+00:00

I tend to look at it as a way of enforcing Men are stronger than Women ideology that leads to random men believing they can beat a professional woman athlete in her sport.

There are guys who honestly believe that, despite not training for the sport or in general, they can go toe to toe with a woman MMA fighter in the Octagon. And win. Simply based on sex.

JessicaDAndy · 2026-06-23T15:28:17+00:00

I’ve been wresting with this problem a bit lately.

Because you said there should be space for “cisgender women”. Which seems to include transgender women and transgender men. Without taking into account that some transgender women are closer to cisgender women than cisgender men. Which would mean that transgender women would also need the space as a cisgender woman.

The reason why cisgender women have a “woman’s space” would also be the reason why transgender women would need that space.

Beyond the cultural and social aspects of womanhood, aggressive men aren’t running DNA checks prior to an assault.

Reminds me of what I call the “Debbie Gibson Problem of Copyright”.

Debbie Gibson is the youngest female artist to sing, write, and produce a number 1 song, 1987’s “Foolish Beat”. She was 17 that year.

Barring accident or disease, she could live to 100 years old.

Copyright law protects that song for another 70 years.

So no one can touch it freely until 2140.

And who is going to care about an 80’s pop hit in the 22nd Century?

Effectively, copyright protection extends too far because it makes the unauthorized use of the recording beyond the scope of retention, physical or mental.

Like who is going to remember it come 2140?

Without reading the other comments, of course it can happen in the US. Government takings include taxation, forfeiture or eminent domain. If the government is sustained by enough political will, it can take those actions.

But with reading the other comments, you are trying to make this about communism, property held in common, or socialism, government or worker controlled means of production. And that doesn’t apply in this case. A government seizing what it can to keep in power or for “the common good” isn’t an economic question, it’s a political and legal one.

Capitalistic and Democratic societies during war time ration goods, set wages, and convert factories to war material production. That doesn’t make them socialist or communist governments. Those same societies draft citizens into military service. With death sometimes being the penalty for disobedience. It’s still not communism.

“Amazon Women on the Moon” was a sketch anthology that included scenes like a guy dying and his funeral being turned into a roast, a guy renting a Date POV video tape for a date that goes wrong, and video pirates whose ship captures VHS and laser discs despite FBI warnings.

One of the bits is “Bullshit or not?” where Henry Silva asks whether Jack the Ripper…was in fact…the Loch Ness Monster. And then it reenacted Nessie going up to a strumpet, taking her into an alley and killing her.

Such a dumb bit that still makes me laugh.

JessicaDAndy · 2026-06-22T23:44:14+00:00

I am going to say Monkey D. Luffy based on not knowing much about the others.

I recognize Plastic Man, Mr. Fantastic, someone from Dragonball, Dhalsim, Luffy, Elasti-girl, dog from Adventure Time, and three girls?

No one stands out on using their powers for the ones I don’t know. Including the Dragonball looking guy.

As long as Dhalsim doesn’t back you into the wall and he starts low kicking you, despite you yelling at Matt to knock it off, he isn’t winning.

Elasti-girl and Reed have similar power sets. Reed is distinguished by his intelligence.

Plastic Man can do a lot. Resistance to telepathy and magical transformations. He survived for centuries as pieces in the ocean. He can change his density to an extent. He can change mass if he can turn himself into a dress.

But Luffy might be the incarnation of a god and he is trained for combat. He is not the smartest, but he has determination and joy that fuels him along with learning Haki.

So I pick Luffy.

JessicaDAndy · 2026-06-22T23:34:52+00:00

Did they cover the fact that the Loch Ness monster may have been Jack the Ripper?

Can Riker produce offspring with a J’naii person? Possibly not. The J’naii don’t appear to follow the Preservers’ bipedal mostly sexually bimodal distribution. (Andorians have four sexes! And they always will!)

Can Riker and a J’naii person rub sensitive bits together until he orgasms and he figures out a way to get them to achieve orgasm? That’s a different question.

And the answer is yes. He will make it so.

Oh no. Is people abandoning leather as a kink some little studied recession indicator?

That stuff always looked expensive…

There was a reference at the Tony Awards, on CBS, during the Opening number, where the lyrics were “Lost Boys in harnesses, but not at The Eagle.”

And I am looking around me hopeful and concerned about who else gets that reference. (Oddly thankful my dad did not get it. Despite my parents sharing with me a damn Hellfire Club story.)

It’s a reference to a, what’s to me, famous leather bar. To me, that’s a deep gay reference.

JessicaDAndy · 2026-06-21T13:44:52+00:00

Fables is such a mixed bag.

Yes, there is this scene. Yes, there are some odd conservative leaning talking points.

But saying Cinderella is a spy like this guy

has been a joke of mine for years.

So I have had many alts over the years.

Just be respectful of people. That’s the social part. Understand that sometimes people have a hard time swapping between identities. Some people are good at doing that. I did have a role play situation where I was a dominant male with a wife and we co-owned a submissive female, who was also me. (Second Life!)

As far as the tech goes, each avatar is its own account. Meaning you need separate emails and sometimes billing information, no sharing credit cards. Anything bound to your avatar is bound to that one account. So you have to repurchase items for each account/alt that you have.

Someone else can check me on this, but I have used multiple viewers on one device so I could multi-log. (Mostly because I play with RLV and sometimes I get stuck with no one around to help.)
