That vision ability to see people’s names from Death Note would be helpful for avoiding those awkward social interactions where someone is talking to me but I’ve completely forgotten who they are.

But that twist that Q was the real villain mastermind the whole time…

Be engineer, draw pictures with numbers next to it that mean that your picture is important. Give picture to someone who agrees that your picture is important and presses on your picture with a stamp. Then give your picture to people that don’t work at desks to make a thing that looks like your important picture.

Totally fair. I only started paying attention after hearing a podcast about how the letter “D” is pronounced in names in some other cultures. I was doing it wrong. It was a similar issue with position of the tongue when saying words like “dentist” compared to “dog”.

Reading differences in pronunciation can be difficult, but in regard to tongue placement when saying these words, when saying “blush”, the tip of the tongue should press against the inside of the top-front teeth. When saying “brush”, the tongue should curl back and lightly press on the inside right and left side of the back teeth.

When he said that he could grab women “by the pussy”, he followed through with it when he raped E Jean Carroll. But when he said that he “could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody”, I don’t think that he has so far.

It seems that his voters are thinking that he’s not serious about the murder thing, but it’s okay if he’s serious about the rape thing, when it’s quite likely that he’s serious about both.

“Look man, all I’m saying is that if it wasn’t for that song most people wouldn’t even know how to spell bananas”.

Thanks, Denis!

But because we live in a timeline where the butthole cut was never released, we can’t know how it would compare to what Cats was meant to be.

I think I may still be riding the hype of things like the JWST, and fusion energy breakthroughs. Our societies may be back sliding at the moment, but our species is still doing some amazing things.

I am going to click this, but God dammit if this is Rick Astley

Edit: okay, thanks internet friend

I recognize that I’m likely part of the problem, but was there a lot of, “well, actually the economy is good”?

What I remember from the campaign (from my own limited media stream) is that Harris openly acknowledged that prices were too high, both for groceries and housing, and gave admittedly broad plans to address those challenges, e.g. home buyer credits, home building targets, and child tax credits. I’m not trying to be an asshole, but I legit didn’t see this as the “abandonment of the working class” that has been the popular narrative recently.

I didn’t understand what imgur had become before I clicked the link and briefly thought the library had lots of copies of Twisters in 4k.

I don’t have any idea really, but one possible contributing element is the speed of delivery. My understanding (possibly incorrectly) is that western comics are more commonly delivered on a one book per month cycle, whereas Manga delivers a lot more content in the same time period. Part of this production time can probably be attributed to coloring time (Western comics color every panel vs Manga printed in mostly black and white).

There’s also the accessibility of Manga and anime, having relatively newer characters without the burden of decades of backstory (not accounting for One Piece). Running an anime with (mostly) similar story line helps to bring potential new readers up to speed quickly with Manga, whereas the animated adaptations of western comics often seem to pick specific story arcs of comics, or make up entirely new stories.

Fracking technology has some potential upside in the climate discussion, https://time.com/6302342/fervo-fracking-technology-geothermal-energy/

A ban on fracking might not be the best solution if you want to move the technology towards something more beneficial to the fight against climate change.

Did a quick scroll and didn’t see:

Smash - The Offspring

I’m not going to claim that it was ground breaking music or anything, but it just dropped at a time when it was able to hit maximum nostalgia for me.

Might as well throw in Ed Norton’s performance in Kingdom of Heaven.

I did not assert that the court gave full immunity for all things, but will now suggest that not every crime is a violation of the constitution, or could not be committed while carrying out a function of the constitution.

Why would immunity be necessary if the act is not otherwise a crime?

Reminds me of the “the medium is the message” phrase, and hope that the creators are going for something unique either to the story or the presentation, but the cynic in me thinks that they may just be doing this to set up a Doomsday Clock movie.
