You know, I think I can wait on that one.

Yeah. There is a point were even the absurd for that sake of just being absurd goes too far. That would be one of those lines.

What up, Shy!

Did you ever do that last Hitman game?

*jokes about Shy playing baby hitman training sims go here*

Only ask because they put out the first stage for free, and the entire game in discounted on PSN right now. Thinking about getting the cities in phases.

Three Dallas-area McDonald's managers who spoke with Reuters estimated the switch has improved their Quarter Pounder sales from 20 percent to 50 percent, albeit aided by advertising and coupons.

"We've been stealing customers from a Whataburger down the street," said Edgar Meza, a manager at a McDonald's restaurant in an upscale neighborhood in north Dallas. Officials at Texas-based Whataburger, a regional chain, declined to comment.

da hell is going on in Dallas? Whataburger should never be losing business to McDonalds.

The spoilers for that Transformers movie actually makes me want to see it but even then I bet it'll be boring nonsense not entertaining nonsense.

Harriet Tubman in a secret society helping the Transformers. A drunk Merlin riding in with a spaceship.
lmaoooo

I had Whataburger for the first time in Texas a few weeks ago. Eating it only made me think why am I not eating Burger King instead.

Well if any of them would, it would be him. Wonder what he feels about what happened with Vegas. If you had told me it was Jane, I would have been shocked right out of my socks.

Ms. Manky forgive me

I have an idea for a scifi story where in the future a group of androids resurrect Marie Curie, Helen Keller, Cripus Attucks, and as the leader Harriet Tubman as cyborgs to fight their oppressive masters.

The battle cry would be "They can't format us but one time"

What the hell is wrong with me

Whatever fever dream you come up with would be better than anything that Michael Bay puts out.

And speaking of which...

A sexist enigma? One very bad decision away from being the film version of Mark Millar.

Apparently autobots are implied to have helped slaves get to freedom in this movie?

...it looks like Michael Bay is trying desperately to make up for all the shucking and jiving characters he's put in his movies in one fell swoop. And failing.

And speaking of failing...

...of course Mark Millar is still writing comics. Because all Hollywood has to do is scrape off most of the horrifying parts of his comics and make them into blockbusters. He's the Michael Crichton of comic book writers.

And of course Hydra Steve is worthy of holding Mjolnir. Consider the connection between some modern white supremacist groups and Norse mythology. Also, old school heroes don't have to be /good/, they just have to be /heroic/.

oh they been working on genetic tag weapons for 2 decades now. the perfect bullet, etc. the question was posed "what if someone could tailor a weapon to go after genome specifics. like say..the jews?" actual question that was posed, and then the debate that went on. I think someone also mentioned the blacks. So you know someone is thinking of us.

I think the human race is capable of doing just that, I read fiction posing those questions.

I don't think we are so evolve that this won't happen. Sure technology like this could cure my Sickle Cell and many other disease. But it can be weaponized easily too as well earn more about the genome.

I could see a place like Iran doing it, I could see Saudi Arabia doing it. I could see it being done to Africans using the one drop rule would wipe out billions. It is super scary stuff.


I was just watching this little video about human history

the hypothetical fear was that genomic weapons would be used in the Israeli Palestine thing, "solving" the issue one way or another.

we have the tech to do it right now. but probably not good enough to keep it from mutating and killing everyone else by mistake.

edit: lol, I didn't read the wiki on this but here's the wiki.

Another "My sibling is a racist" thread, another group of folks coming out of the woodwork with "don't bring up the subject and you'll be fine" Answers. Ugh. Yeah, throw a horrible trait of a person under the rug because they're related to you. Smh.

LOL, I read a lot of Crichton books in high school, they were paper thin but almost always close to 500 pages.

Lord, I don't ask for much if anything at all. If you could see it in your way to keep that loudmouth and his son out of L.A, I would be grateful.
