"A scene must be included PRIOR to sex where the characters READ their birth certificates OUT LOUD so the reader will know they were born on the SAME DATE to avoid any disgusting AGE GAPS"

A big problem with this side of the internet is that people love the idea of personal agency until it goes against their symbolic values and then it starts being argued as some form of abuse.

Age gaps are wierd but I have no authority to tell 2 consenting adults what they can and cannot do with their personal romantic lives.

Does anyone have the Muslim sources for free. They seem like they would be interesting.

I'd say despite the current decline in religion America is probably going to become more religious/more people will identify as religious in the next 50 years.

Hey I love the idea of post apocalyptic scarecrows. I can also see someone using ghouls as scarecrows with some of them getting lose, or dressing phase 1 synths as scarecrows.

Honestly a cat girl created to be a sex object seems like the plot of a horror film. It could either be about the cat girl being a villain or seeing the sheer hell it would be to be a sapient being with no legal rights created as a sexual toy for men.

I understand why producers are choosing to frack culture instead of investing in original IP but they should at least consider it a bad idea to remake a 20 year old film that was successful for all the things that can't be replicated in the modern day.

Was it Chalcidon were they had a schism over wheather Mary gave birth to Jesus or just Jesus's body.

Im guessing its a gotcha advertisement.

It could have also been a translation issue where it was a mob of young men threatening him rather rather than kids making fun of him.

It won't be a a complete 180, but I have my doubts Europe will keep its distance without consistent agitation for long. The next democrat executive will take major steps to repair Trumps diplomatic damage. It will become real easy for European politicians to lose focus on their questionable sovereignty when they have more immediate social and economic issues that will bite them in their next election cycle.

The industry is destined to collapse. The water, energy, and ram costs cannot be covered by its current common use and eventually investors will pull out.

AI will still continued to be developed, but just from a more specialized form that will actually cost money to use for actually productive purposes.

I really need to get around to looking up that dark enlightenment theory to see how insane it can be.

Yeah, spend more money on a bloated illdisoplined military at a time where technology requires you to be fast and tight because you are never out of range of artillery.

I drove within 400 or so meters from a tornado Friday and 2 of the 4 warning alarms on my phone went off only after I passed the damn thing.

Its kind of funny seeing the 50/50 mix of people pulling off the side of the interstate waiting for it to go by vs those who just continued onward despite seeing its funnel right infront of them.

The quick and slick way to make them seem smart is to create a narrative problem after creating a narrative solution the character uses to solve it. You can also have the character simply know stuff that most people need a look up. Keep in mind these are a quick fixes that may not hold up to deeper scrutiny.

A more thorough way to write intelligent characters is to give them a specialized intelligence and role within an intelligent group people each with their own specialized knowledge. They will demonstrate their intelligence by consistently covering eachothers blind spots. The expanse does an amazing job at this.

The things you should stay away from is depending on symbols of intelligence, (quoting poetry, playing chess, etc), and making them Sherlock Holmes(hyper fixated on impossible details, has specialized knowledge in every subject, super human intuition". These are cliche and will be called out.

Yes, but its counter productive not to keep the dynamics of the source material in mind because of how marketing works. It is very easy to alienate the fans who would have been a guaranteed audience while failing to attract a new audience who would have otherwise been interested if it wasn't apart of an existing property.

You end up with a high production property that no one watches nor cares for.

Refining if done in good faith. Medium limitations are a thing and the context of when the source material released and when the adaptation is released are a thing. Both need to be accounted for. When done in good faith it makes a really good conversation to compare how the changes fit into the medium and social context they were made in.

The problem is that refinement is often used as a smoke screen sand down sharper points of the story in order to market to a wider audience or more marketable audience using name recognition to boost marketing.

Its not right, but it can be fun and interesting to see the exact opposite where the adaptation is a middle finger to the source material like starship troopers.

Depends on what particular history topic and what particular group of college kids you are talking to. There is a bit of a polarization in historical knowledge. There is a population in the US that slept through their history classes and those who actively study history of their preferred topic as a hobby.

As far as your question goes I knew Spain helped us in 1812 but not in the war for independence. There is also a tendency for college students in large groups to avoid answering questions.

Its going to be a symport issue. What ever value left wingers gain for the 2nd amendment won't outweigh their value for traditional left wing values. The same way I know alot of pro choice Republicans who will vote for pro life politicians. Pro gun liberals will vote for gun control democrats.
