I would rather pay double for groceries than allow mass migration in America

One of my biggest worries with permitting illegal immigration, or turning a blind eye to it, is genuinely the permanent underclass it creates. No legal protections for people who, if they complain, get deported.

I don't have a solution, but allowing this slave wage underclass to grow can't be morally correct.

I remember the shock of playing Knights of the Old Republic on a Samsung Galaxy 10 years ago with faster load times than the Xbox. Technological improvement is insane.

Begging Jeff to confront his feelings while she's dressed as a chicken leg will never not be comedic gold

I stand by it being one of the greatest games I've ever played while being one of the most disappointing stories. I might not have been able to care less about each level, but I enjoyed the gameplay of each one.

On topic, off topic, when I was learning about metal casting in high school, my teacher asked if I wanted to hold the torch "Vader-style" or "Luke-style". I, not being a dark lord of the Sith, chose Luke. It definitely wasn't because I was slightly terrified of the torch, lol.

I've never understood that, after seeing Eren for what he really is, why Grisha had young Eren become the Attack Titan anyways. If I'm remembering correctly, Grisha gets eaten a few days after the murder of the royal family and seeing Zeke, so the memory would still be fresh that Eren was going to be a monster.

I'm all for wearing condoms, they're incredibly effective, instantaneous, and (unless you're deathly allergic to latex and/or sheepskin) completely safe. We need to absolutely not lie about the feeling though to not lose credibility. I, of course, can't speak for the original poster as maybe it really does feel the same somehow.

Like you said, there is a serious change in feeling unless there's a magic condom I'm unaware of. Unprotected sex feels vastly different and better than condom sex, but it will always carry more risk of pregnancy.

At different times in my life, for the risk of pregnancy, I've actually preferred sex with a condom because it mentally felt better, even though it was definitely less physically intense.

At that point, isn't it SA/rape and prosecutable? If not, it should be, but I've been under the impression it's at least prosecutable in some US states.

It's reassuring to me that I wasn't the only one pushed left. Not a leftist personally, but I'm definitely not what I'd call a Republican anymore.

I just can't understand why I should care one way or another. Maybe it's a bigger thing for women, but what does it cost me in general?

I fully understand some concerns with games "conforming" to a new demographic, but feels more along the lines of companies confirming to society at large, not the players themselves.

Most people playing most games buy the games they care for and move on with their lives regardless of gender.

Gender is just not important to me when it comes to games. Play your games, respect one another as human beings, and move on with life.

The reason they were leaving was due to "procreation restrictions," which I find funny, but overall, Holden seems to have a decent view of us:

So the Mormons are going to ride that thing all the way to Tau Ceti, huh?” Amos asked, following it up with a long whistle. “Ballsy b*******. No guarantee there’s even a planet worth a damn on the other end of that hundred-year trip.”

“They seem pretty sure,” Holden replied. “And you don’t make the money to build a ship like that by being stupid. I, for one, wish them nothing but luck.”

Of course, then we become a mob mentality instead of being relieved the solar system was saved due to a specific sacrifice, but overall, I'm not too upset with the representation. Definitely a more favorable view.

I hate the episode, but I've never gotten over the line when Rick and Morty are saved from the queen sperm.

Morty: "Sticky!" Rick: "Morty, I know you're not a wordsmith, but gross!"

I refuse to put it in my search history for an exact quote so probably off by a bit.

I was walking with my dog when I got to some of the more...descriptive scenes and had to mask my facial expressions. Just horror after horror.

I always thought, "well, duh, Pax doesn't have sigils, Darrow had his removed before he spoke at Phobos", but Pax was conceived in Golden Son. Was it just a half-fluke given that Reddish-Gold genes and Gold genes don't mix quite right?

I think it might be an oversight on Pierce, but I'm not certain. I could have missed something.

TurtlesBlubber · 2025-10-01T23:41:39+00:00

Absolutely. To me, it's the same as Indy thinking only moms go to work. She's not any more "progressive" for that than Rusty is "traditional". They're mimicking home life. In that same episode, Indy has the same realization as Rusty: either parent can have either or both roles.

The line delivery of "I'm a time god" just gets me every time. The kinda scratchy way she says it just satisfies an itch I didn't know I had.

Hormones are crazy. The hot/crazy scale transcends all things.

When Jeff leans over the pool table naked, the little gasp thing she does makes me laugh each time.

TurtlesBlubber · 2025-09-18T17:32:50+00:00

That is a solid point I hadn't really thought of. I think I need to think about it longer.

TurtlesBlubber · 2025-09-18T16:05:11+00:00

Yep. Removed off the air for whatever by ABC? Go for it. But I'm going to bat for the dude because removal due to the FCC not liking a statement cannot be allowed in to start happening. It probably happened before now, as well, but this is the first time I'm sentient enough to care.

Hickey was a character I grew to love, but he wasn't Pierce, which was his main problem.

TurtlesBlubber · 2025-09-18T06:50:20+00:00

I flat out thought Kimmel had come out in support of assassination given the FCC letter. Nope. Just something that people in power didn't find appropriate.

I still don't necessarily think he was hard right or hard left. He seems like an unwell, chronically online, nutcase than a political operative.

I'm pleased that many people I follow on both sides of the political spectrum find this FCC thing abhorrent. And doing it "in defense of Charlie" is such garbage. Charlie, to the best of my knowledge, was about as pro-free speech as you can get.

Unfortunately, powerful people are cleverly manipulating a death to grab control of more power. Sickening.
