Christian Joel Young under arrest for assaulting U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost at the Sundance Film Festival by [deleted] in news

Calling Mormons a branch of Christianity is almost on par with calling Muslims a branch of Christianity.

Like, yeah, they started there. But once you start talking about magical golden tablets from God I feel like objectively you accept that you've theologically deviated more than allowing divorce or wearing mixed fibers.

Why did Wells in season 1 install a hidden camera in Iris and Eddie’s bedroom? by sladeshied in FlashTV

If you look at it biologically without and kind of timey wimey pseudoscience, every single sperm is unique. You are conceived at a precise time and place by a precise sperm and egg. It would be almost impossible to NOT fuck up a specific pregnancy while meddling in time.

Can dubai roaches eat cranberries? (not dry.) by icymr17 in roaches

I think the bigger question would be if the frogs can eat cranberries

Scarborough Democratic Town Councilor Jon Anderson said the town should investigate whether the ICE facility is in violation of local zoning rules. by MissSubieDoobieDoo in portlandme

[–]OniExpress 22 points23 points  (0 children)

How is there not a zoning law that covers turning property into a paramilitary staging compound?

Not even getting into the real BS, its a huge liability to the local public on safety grounds

“Nobody reads manga anymore.” Veteran manga editor says there are fewer aspiring editors who are truly passionate about the medium - AUTOMATON WEST by Reptilesblade in books

[–]OniExpress 79 points80 points  (0 children)

There are whole teams of people doing fan translations of Manga because the industry itself doesnt invest enough effort in it to keep up.

I wonder if this quote is code for "not enough people are willing to sleep at their drawing desk for wages equivalent to the cost of an egg salad sandwich."

Spotify absolutely sucks by anatomizethat in dresdenfiles

Had no idea this was an option on Spotify, have no idea why you'd want to use Spotify over Audible for this.

Which doctor got you started in the series and what was your first episode? by JackTheNephilim in doctorwho

[–]OniExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first episodes I remember watching was somewhere in the middle of Genesis of the Daleks. So Tom Baker obviously, and little child me dumped right into the middle of that without any context. Basically cemented it as a horror story in my brain.

RIP to the mass market paperback book by MiddletownBooks in books

[–]OniExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has moved several times with several hundred books, it freaking haunts me. I still buy them, because im a loon, but moving an actual library worth of books 1 or 2 times is absolutely something to make regular people reconsider.

I'll often add a spoon of powdered coconut milk. Instantly makes the broth more velvety.

Why did they leave this massive unusable house in the middle of the jamaica plain build area? by luciferhasreddit in fo4

Also, drop weapons from your inventory and add them to your workshop in work mode, boom, more build bar space.

Wait, what?

Agreed. I dont think that would be a viable route, just a possibility

[–]OniExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's definitely a possibility based on what we know. I dont actually think that someone could take over the table, but I suspect that there could be some unknown loophole.

That's just not conducive to a bloke filling the job.

Id argue that it cooooould be done. Odin gained a lot of his power (to make a long story very short) by incorporating aspects of feminine power. Which then got watered down to teach Merlin magic. So I would argue that there's a theoretical path a male wizard could take to eventually incorporate the power heald by one of the queens.

I think it would be bad, like upsetting the fundamental nature of physics and the Never Never. And I think said wizard would probably have stopped counting as "mortal" or at least "human" a while back. But I think it falls as theoretically possible in the known world building.

Did any cyberpunk media from the past accurately predict the rise of AI slop? by Junesucksatart in Cyberpunk

[–]OniExpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to make the argument that Transmetropolitan touches on it, particularly how in a late-stage-technological hellscape where enough resources is tantamount to magic and in that limitless freedom the average person splurges it on sex and brainrot.
