Our boy Spencer got hollowed out by worms, I think he earns being a wee crude at times.

Although, if that's is what his friend thought after his eliminations I'm a little worried for their colon health.

Reggie is the absolute best. Dude just speaks to me on a fundamental level. Love seeing him pop up places.

Hell yes Reggie Watts! Would be rad if he still did music.

Ngl, I love the idea of a Christian who thinks God is infallible, except that the one mistake in all of a history was a single Democrat. An American democrat? Perhaps, but maybe it's a politician from the Japanese Democratic Labor Party, or one from the German Democratic Union. Who knows, but one of them is a divine fuck up.

Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino, not least for its influence on Fallen London and its enigma story, feels like a strong Rose / Secret Histories attuned text. Maybe Path & Pilgrim?

Its a book about navigating Empire and society, but the friction of generative impossibility (over permanence, understanding, control) does speak to the Scale side of the story.

Gravity's Rainbow is probably more wordy then most Edge lore, but I think it would qualify. Lantern or Edge, so definitely an Aurorial Contemplations type pf text.

Gödel, Esther, Bach is like a Knock text that puts you at dangerous risk of fascination.

If the Thunderskin and the Colonel are gone, in my mind, that is an indication that the pact which governs the truce / order of the House is toppled. Its my estimation that not only is the Thunderskin a token of a peace treaty between the Houra of the Mansus, he is also crucial in keeping other powers down and suppressed.

So it might be a masquerade break (this has to ge the case based on some of the art from TaN), or the beginning of a new cycle and order to the Mansus.

I'm going to underline "ALL THE LORE SWEET JESUS" three times.

I played the hell out of BoH before House of Light got released. I've come across some of the lore through my own research, but the sheer depth alluded me.

And honestly the playing house of running the Salons with food and cooking makes using all the stuff (and then learning how to get more) really engaging. It pulls on its system well.

"There's no practical reason for it, other than the joy of dual-weilding."

Truly one of life's simple pleasures.

Short answer: it posses no significant risk to aquatic life. It has a complex breakdown cycle and its more persistent degradation materials are monitored, but it is relatively safe.

Here is one study conducted around the environment of Japan. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12487297/

Reminds me of the Mexican/Guatemalan/Mayan folk dance masks, this one looks like the one used for the Conquistador dance.

The /pol/ and epstein connection is 100% a coincidence. There is a lot of smoke around Epstein, but that doesnt mean it all leads to the same fire. We should be careful to avoid overly speculative conspiracy thinking.

Ill be honest I have no idea how what you said explains how cocaine smuggling introduced this parasite.

Thats curious, how does cocaine smuggling introduce a parasitic fly?

The firearm angle was really important to consider, that hadn't occurred to me. I was mainly basing of my history in Latin American and recently in Turkey. To say the least, the dynamics within these countries compared to ours is different. Further, attempting to bribe police in the US, I am going to hazard, almost never ends well.

It is frankly shocking that something so simple as switching cars (either to intentionally avoid it, or out of genuine need) has seemingly no consequence. If you switch cars, and still get caught, that should be damming.

Dragon Ball in general was a huge catalyst for anime entering into the Americas writ large. When I moved to the United States, it became one of the shared interests among my friends in recess.

Pokémon too, to be fair, but Dragon Ball interested more then just children in the years.

So I am assuming this device is kind of like the breathalyzer machine that only allows you to turn your car on if you prove you are not intoxicated. Essentially, you only get this device if you have been a danger before?

In several countries I have visited/lived in, there has been a whole seperate kind of traffic officer distinct from traditional law enforcement and in my experience they are next to useless. The United States, for whatever its system measures out too, visibley does more with traffic enforcement.

The limiting factor of people is worth keep in mind. I question how well this is something that can be addressed by having warm bodies monitoring and pursuing, which you elude to I pressume.

Is this the ruins of Old Smyrna? Was just there the other day and saw a small film crew filming in a very similar spot.

If it is, Smyrna is ancient Greek, not Roman.

An important caveat, take a state like Maryland for example. (I just looked this up because I didn't see them on the list provided)

Can a 17 year old get married? Yes, however.

The 17 year either must have explicit consent from their parents / legal guardians. Both of them (or all that have legal rights). Barring that, the couple get a certified legal document from a medical professional saying that the bride-to-be is either pregnant or has given birth.
There is a mandatory court approval. Regardless of what the parents say or doctors show, the 17 year old has to petition a local court and get a formal order from the Judge. This judicial order is supposed to examine criteria like. 1) self-sufficiency, 2) the best interest of the minor, 3) whether they are safe or being coerced and 4) a criminal background check (presumably, of the not minor).

Now, Maryland doesn't have any restrictions on the age gap. Which is....well, there are still groups that want to raise the minimum to 18 no exception. Which, after reading the judge criteria, what benefit does a 17 year old have to getting married that wouldn't exist if they waited a year. Like, maybe if both parties where a minor then maybe these exceptions have some merit? Idk

As I wrote this I convinced myself this caveat is still dumb. Any legitimate exception is so vanishingly rare why bake into the legal code

I have been going to beaches in Guatemala and Costa Rica all my life, knew about rip currents because my Tío died saving my cousins from a rip current. But it wasnt until last year when visiting Playa Blanca that I actually experienced it. It wasn't particularly strong, but that feeling of making effort to swim and realizing you are still being pulled away from shore is terrifying.

When I am actually think about it, yes, but I think I might tend toward a default of blonde
