🤨You’re not particularly self aware.

Also, most politicians these days start as lawyers, and are Gen x or older so they were already making money in their early careers while having graduated before tuition and student loan costs exploded. Basically a huge financial head start compared to other public servants like cops, social workers, or park service.

You could actually also use the same strategy of basing off historical characters to bring Shandor back around, just use Aleister Crowley and some of the more sociopathic narcissist cult leaders as the guide to flush him out as a more evil bastard than has been previously explored. It would work well for those saying the next film should go smaller scale since you could focus on making him more hate worthy than powerful. Write a Delores Umbridge instead of a Voldemort, if that makes sense.

Yeah, I mean devil’s advocate, if it’s one guy taking all the pictures, how do you assume he’s of particular interest to UFO’s before assuming he’s just particularly good at faking UFOs

You could easily go with Vigo’s mentor or student in necromancy. Since Vigo was basically a mashup of Rasputin and Vlad the impaler, pull some other spooky bastards from real history like Elizabeth Bathory or Jack the Ripper to create a new character.

If the flowers smell like cough syrup this is it.

Because kids instinctively knew on some level that a digestive system must have an in end and an out end, which begs the question...

3.5 you might say love replaced the dinosaurs since clades capable of displaying affection for their mates and offspring survived and proliferated while actual “terrible lizards” lost out long before all those extinction level events. Then the small feathery theropods made it through.

One theory is men and women are selecting for feminine and masculine traits respectively, but when said traits express in the opposite gender, it no longer looks like an expression of sexual health, just friggin weird. Ever see that comparison pick of Angelina Jolie and Steve Buscemi?

Another is that two sixty 66% attractive people can theoretically each donate their 34% ugliest genes within the 50 they are contributing to their offspring and make a 68% ugly baby. They could also make a hyperattractive baby by contributing 50% pulled from their own 66% attractive genes. That’s just the random shuffle of Mendelian genetics.

Third is that sexual selection seems to follow stabilizing selection, ie you’re attracted to the most average mean of all the traits you see in your formative years. This means if you pull somebody from one part of the world where the population genetics have been strongly moving in one direction, and put them in a community where a different set of traits is the norm, and theirs never seen, that population is mostly gonna think they look weird. This is less of an issue in a world where people move around though, and explains racism more than it explains ugly.

Same thing for This is Us. No one family could possibly generate or be target for that much drama unless they are regularly consuming lead flavored popsicles or something.

Give it 24 hours of compounding apathy and stupid, it will be.

Dark humor. Me and my high school friends can make the “you’re going to hell for laughing at that” jokes and nobody bats an eye. If you’re marginally too young to have hit South Park and Family guy at the right age though, a crude comment is grounds for calling in the ACLU and trauma counselors.

I love Duluth but that’s actually my problem with them. I apparently have no ass whatsoever.

There are backpacks. There are tactical style vests with pockets. Somebody make a backpack that has a tactical vest for its straps. Or a vest with a series of stacked large pockets making up its back. Just make a vestpack is what I’m saying. It would be great for distributing the weight if they did it right.

I’m a fan of Veronica, creeping thyme, mind your business, and sedums depending on your climate and space. Honestly, Pinterest is a great resource for turf grass alternatives if you can get the algorithm working for you.

Tossing the just ask weekly reader series with Christopher the mouse onto that pile for kids still learning to sound things out.

Imma point you in the direction of the author Daniel Quinn.🙂👍

In that case I recommend “Our tree named Steve”. The tree still comes down in the end, but it is treated like a part of the family and respected in its own right without anthropomorphism the whole way through. A much better model for healthy empathetic relationships (even towards beings unlike yourself) all around.

Check out The Big Orange Splot. It’s an indictment of cookie cutter neighborhoods kids will love.

Short answer is that there’s an arc of horny that Harry eventually gets over. On the other side of it he starts to take on an attitude of “Gee another femme fatale villainess trying to distract me from unraveling the mystery by shoving her boobs in my face. Nobody has ever tried that one before.”

I think the hill begins to be crested right around the time he tells Lara he needs mouthwash, or a little after. That said he’s smartened up, not dead.

Mainly it will just be Easter eggs and little nods flying way over your head, not major plot points.

My understanding was that in the case of erm, epidermis striders, talking about them is also seen as contributing to the general fear of them, and therefore giving them more power. Sort of like not wanting to contribute to witch hysteria if there were also actual witches that could feed off it?
