borg aren't people anymore

I disagree. A recurring theme in Star Trek is that life doesn't always follow the paradigm that humanity does, but is nevertheless worthy of respect. In the Trek verse we see that humanity has finally applied that logic to animals (in Riker's words ending animal enslavement), there are episodes where rocks develop intelligence and the solution to the problem is negotiating with them, and then there's the crystalline entity which - while it was ultimately destroyed in self defense - Picard tried to negotiate with as much as he could.

It would be so great if this completely split the Republicans and prevented them from getting their shit organized enough to do anything for Trump 2.

I shot Santa while he was entering my house via the chimney

That sounds like a comedy premise. Santa gets shot by a paranoid homeowner and someone has to save Christmas.

This page cites some studies that have already been done into this idea, and the prognosis is not good. Even if we embarked on the absolutely massive undertaking of building the pumps, desalination facilities, and wind turbines necessary to do this at scale, and committed to the massive cost of maintaining all of those machines in the harsh environments of the arctic/antarctic, the effect would only be preventing a small amount of sea level rise in the short term.

So yea sinking some cruise ships seems to be the best option.

You would think that the feds would realize that it is in their interest to pay the person extremely publicly so that everyone knows that traitors get rewarded. Guess not.

MF had five days. He could have gone out into the woods and set everything used in the killing on fire, then went home and been like "I've been CAMPING for the past week what did I miss?" and lived his whole life free and clear.

hell yeah

Nate Silver states the obvious

well I guess that's what got him famous

This is actually an old internet half-truth. The Australian ratings board's rules refuses classification to porn where the actress "appears" underage, regardless of her actual age, which could potentially possibly lead to porn from small-breasted actresses being refused - but AFAIK that's never actually happened.

The only thing I know about The Boys is that, as it went on, the writers didn't like chuds latching onto Homelander in a "Tyler Durden" kind of way, so the longer the series goes the more overt and explicit the politics get until I think Season 4 where they finally reached the point at which chuds realized they were the ones being made fun of.

Japan and South Korea are on another level of monopolization and consolidation. Sony has been making these moves for a while and seems set to position itself as the corporate overlord for nearly all of Japan.

lmao pay money to have your kid get fast food training? what level of hellscape is that?
