How can anyone put their name to that and still look themselves in the mirror in the morning? Jesus christ, that's ghoulish.

And then finishing it off with Uhuru fangirling over Hoshi Sato. Loved it!

But if it’s true, then we only have a 25% margin on food (10/8), and to my engineering mind that’s not enough. We gotta pump those numbers up.

Or, and I'm just spitballing here, we should make sure everyone gets enough food first, then work on increasing production. What's the point in getting to a 50% or even a 100% margin on excess food production if people are still starving to death because we can't get it to them?

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

the expectation is that the players have just been paying attention to the game in general.

Hahaha. We just spent several months of game time (and several years of real time) taking a succubus-esque thing around with us because we didn't listen to some NPCs at the very beginning and thought she was just a hostage we were rescuing. The GM spent so much time slowly building her up and making her ever so slightly more evil to see when we'd finally notice. Turns out it took literally mind controlling one of our named NPCs that worked in the circus. Boy, did we feel bad afterwards. We still didn't know she was a succubus, we thought she was just an asshole, so we fired her. The GM let us know afterwards. There was no detail about her in the book other than the initial encounter, we were just supposed to kill her.

So yeah. Paying attention. We don't really do that...

But don't forget, the people saying those things didn't have access to semi-automatic or fully automatic weapons, or anything much fancier than a musket. You can't blindly apply laws written that long ago to the modern day because it's something that those mythical founders just couldn't even imagine.

I don't know American law, but isn't offering favours in exchange for votes... illegal?

He remembers me!

Also he'd need to know who Bob Marley was in order get the Jacob and Robert gag...

Those smiles are freaking me out

That’s a good point, hadn’t considered that.

No, I was thinking about the lack of empathy required to actively hate everyone under a certain age.

Have an upvote for the unpopular opinion, but man, who hurt you? Do you need a hug?

The song goes “We wish you a merry Christmas”, so that’ll always be there for as long as the song is popular.

Plus (also because of the song, I assume), you say “merry Christmas and a happy new year”, not “happy Christmas and a happy new year”. Too much happy there.

Hey now

If you’re racist and you know it, clap your hands!

The neutrinos have mutated

Should copyright for works that old be expired? Yes!

In the actual world we live in, was this guy ever going to avoid being sued so hard that his grandchildren will be embarrassed for him? No!

You've got to admire the lemming-like devotion to the legal cliff he threw himself off though. Writing a sequel to not only a copyright work, but one that is still in the cultural zeitgeist thanks to a 20-year old wildly successful series of films? Ballsy. Subsequently suing one of the largest companies in the world and the estate that produced the original works as infringing his copyright?

Chutzpa, I believe the term is.

In my defence, I was left unsupervised...
