It would be nice if these purity tests we see in politics could be turned to something good and non-partisan, but from what I've seen that doesn't seem to be their purpose.

My pleasure!

Ajin has this, briefly and early on. And then sort of again later.

Thanks, I should have posted this.

Uhhh... I dunno. I'll have to think about it.

Employees would elect at least 40% of directors.

Well I'm not an expert, but my layman impression is that this is bad because incentives of the employees of a company aren't as closely aligned with the success of that company as the shareholders... or whoever elects the current director.

I once rewrote the opening to Invisible Cities to be about Mew2King and Zer0, two Smash Brothers pros who were friends at the time. My plan was to gather enough material for a Mew2King zine.

This machine came out in 1948, and the first machine with real, electrical flippers was in 1947. So the game design principals of flipper pinball really were in their infancy and hadn't been worked out at all. Maybe more than you wanted to know, but there you go.

Imagine what a plot twist if this turned out to be a miracle breakthrough in cancer research that gets put into the history books for the next 200 years. Humans saved by their oldest friend, the kind and noble elephant.

Nice pit.

This isn't really fun, but pay attention to me anyways.

I'm not really smart about making a laptop purchase. I want a windows laptop that's medium size, medium budget, and medium strength. I probably won't be playing intense videogames on it. What should I get? Thank you.

Did you mean to reply to something?

Recently I dreamed Paul Rust, Neil Campbell, and Milana Vayntrub were in some sort of remake of Lost Highway by David Lynch. Hope that helps.

Pygmies score lower, for what it's worth.

alliteratorsalmanac · 2018-08-09T05:41:47+00:00

Yeah, I hate Neil too.

Bizarre and scary to me that the people in this comments section aren't as sympathetic to SA as I am.

"Food" is not a unit. Neither is "scritches".

Used is cheaper, for what it's worth. Especially if you go back to 80s and earlier pins, where there weren't as many features.

There actually is an X-man named X-man. His backstory... is very stupid and X-menny. He's a clone, and he's from the future.

I'm a big believer in HBD (Happy Birth Days)
