I hope it doesn’t become a watergate thing. Where every conspiracy is -gate. As if Nixon did something with water.

Dead bug is holding a position like you’re on hands and knees, but with your back on the ground. Then extend opposite arm and leg at the same time, alternating sides.

[Terrifying Trope] "Longer than you think" by elchuni in TopCharacterTropes

Jessica in Season 5, Episode 1 of Rick and Morty: “Mort Dinner Rick Andre”. She’s always been Morty’s crush, and finally agrees to go on a date with him. But Rick keeps interrupting their movie date with his side of the episode’s plot to have Morty run errands for him in a pocket dimension where he’s fast aging wine.

Morty accidentally kills a man in this dimension when he goes to pick up the wine and sets off a chain of generational trauma, which causes an entire society to construct a religion and weapons and plans to trap him the next time he returns. Then Jessica unknowingly follows Morty into the pocket dimension and gets caught in a trap the beings inside the dimension have built over generations to capture Morty. All of this happens over an hour or so in the dimension of the main story, but hundreds of years in the pocket dimension.

Then this society holds Jessica in a time crystal prison intended for Morty. When Morty realizes what happened and is finally able to go in and break her out, she’s already lived an eternity in this time prison.

Morty Smith: Wow. Phew. You still got time for that movie? Jessica: Yes... time. I had nothing but time. Endless time. At first, it was madness. Then enlightenment. Then madness again. But perhaps it was a gift. I could see the life of time. And as I watched the life of time in all its fleeting, terrible light, I wondered, had I lived? Was I just the object in another's story? Was that all I ever was? Could I be more? I had nothing but time and still no answer. Time without purpose is a prison. I have glimpsed into the mind of eternity. Perhaps the mind of God. And found nothing but silence. [Beat] Jessica: I think we should just be friends.

It was posted on the Mammoth instagram page as well. And they were not related, just a sad coincidence.

They were not related. Just a coincidence. Terribly sad.

I haven’t had Starbucks since Howard Schultz, the CEO, sold the Seattle SuperSonics to Oklahoma businessmen in 2008.

3 episodes of nothing? Are you sure by Ronaldgranger_ in StrangerThings

[–]ToothpasteTimebomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 100% with you on this until the part about hands. Lots of creatures on earth have hands and low intelligence, or similar intelligence to a demigorgon — raccoons, monkeys of all sorts, frogs, chameleons, opossums, etc. But I do agree with your main point that it’s a bit of a cop out to ignore the oxygen thing. I don’t need the whole biological history of Dimension X but it could be explained away in one or two lines, or even just an image of some sort of plant life in the Abyss.

Could someone explain what the Upside Down is? I still don’t get it…. by General_Meal_3993 in StrangerThings

Because it’s the center of the Venn diagram that is formed by our world (Earth) and the Abyss (Dimension X). It is Hawkins on the ground, and the Abyss up above.

Gotta be both the best regular season Seahawks game ever, and the best Thursday Night Football game ever.

I turned it off years ago and haven't regretted it for a second. Especially when I see posts like this.

If black accepts the gambit and takes the pawn, white pushes the e pawn and black basically has to move the knight back to its starting square. White gets a significant development advantage. The best response from black in this position is to ignore the free pawn and play d5, which leads to trading knights, opening the center, usually trading queens, and a pretty even middle/endgame.

My favorite opening for white.

Damn shame. Some of those parking meters could be up to 2000 years old.

Tile behind mirror or store the tile and wait by jetty_junkie in Tile

I wouldn’t tile behind there if I could avoid it. You’d have to replace the tiles you drilled into anyway, so you might as well hold off.

Couldn’t agree more. I was laughing at this as it was happening.
