Empire at War is a viable alternative while you wait for this.

X-Men Cypher. The power to instinctively know/understand all languages.

This is the best, most OP, power set that is nonviolent in nature.

You’re never gonna take over the world and rule with an iron fist, but using a liberal definition of “languages”, there’s not much you couldn’t do. And it would fly under the radar too. No one would be gunning for you like they would be gunning for Superman or any other high level power set.

Sit back, rule the poker world, be a software mogul, sleep with beautiful people, etc. You may not rule the world, but you could live a life of idle luxury without much effort.

It’s interesting to me that Africa is 2. I’d assume that when these were implemented Africa would be a cultural afterthought and Europe would’ve gotten number 2.

Curious what the thought process was there.

To be fair… That really looked like the cop was having a traumatic event. He froze, he wasn’t being malicious.

Fuck that. Take the facial skin too. I want my open casket funeral to be memorable.

Not to go all “but the Nazis”…. But there was a time we hanged people for just following orders.

They absolutely can, and should, choose not to follow immoral orders. It’s the basic duty we expect of every public official.

What show is the second row from?

Shamefully I did not follow this story. Can someone give me the run down on how this merger was permitted?

On the surface it seemed like a pretty easy anticompetitive case. But I am not even close to being a lawyer.

Wasn’t this the catalyst for the “humans are space orcs” meme?

What’s your job?

I do this too, but only after a few years of IT where I learned that if one thing breaks it’s counterpart would soon break so might as well fix/replace while I’m working on the original problem.

My friend. Watch Strange New Worlds. Best Trek since TNG (imho).

It does lean a little towards the silly more than I’d generally like, but even the silly is good.

And the cross over episode was top notch.

Simple question will stop the nonsense.

Did they trim the tree at the same time last year? I didn’t see that question asked or answered in the article.

FTR: This is a completely normal trim for those trees. I do question the timing as I was under the impression that trees were trimmed in either spring or fall. But I am not an arborist and the “high wind” excuse sounds at least probable.
