Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:Well, poo poo. Just found the video. I was assuming you had just now discovered the saga of Dolores. I only discovered Dolores last month (I was linked to it from Samcrac or something), but I immediately subscribed and binge-watched everything he's put up (including his rants ). He promises to do a better job documenting this one so we can watch in real time. (He didn't start his channel until after Dolores was finished.)

Instead of continuing to think up new surreal poo poo they just keep twisting and crossbreeding ideas and characters they already had and going increasingly farther away from the initial idea. It was interesting enough when I binged up to like episode 95, but then going back to the early stuff it was a sharp contrast.

I can tell a bit of ego comes through the longer and more successful the podcast has gotten but his stuff is so far above others as far as the story telling goes that I will look over that.

After that they just...keep rehashing ideas and trying to be weird for the sake of it, versus the old episodes just trying to be fun and interesting. Basically once they start doing live poo poo, and the book is being talked about, it all goes to poo poo. And that's not even just a nerd (my) opinion. Even my wife, who would only half listen normally, asked why they started to suck.

Also, apparently I clenched my jaw so hard last night that my entire head hurts and it feels like I have an ear infection (but I'm 99% certain it's literally pulled muscles/tendons in my jaw, because it's both sides). I know I grind my teeth when I sleep but holy poo poo I am dead today. Having just moved I didn't realize that I didn't have any ibuprofen, so I headed to Costco and bought some. You can kick in any time now, pills.

It was mostly a joke, but CA's annual GDP is +$1 billion on TX's. You can also grow food beyond cattle and tumbleweeds in CA, and in the ideas race, Silicon Valley vs Deregulated Placement of Fertilizer Storage Facilities is a no-brainer. Additionally, CA controls the means of production of porn.

The joke was about water wars. There's a national geographic documentary called "Water & Power: A California Heist" which kinda details how it has already started. Basically, the people they put in charge of the water are also the people who own the biggest farm in California, and they decided that they need to grow almonds at 1 gallon of water per almond before the people who live in towns in the San Joaquin Valley get any. So yeah, California can grow food right now. Once the water wars really kick off? probably not.

More podcast recommendations: Astonishing Legends - They cover a lot of strange and unusual events in history. They cover a broad range of topics that are strange and unusual. They're currently in a series covering Resurrection Mary and the history of the myth. Our Fake History - It's a podcast that covers myths that people think are history and actual history in myths. Drunks and Dragons - It's a few Australian comedians that play dnd together. Badly. You might like this if you like the adventure zone. Myths and Legends - The title tells it all, it covers myths and legends from all over the world.

Oh, I agree and have a hard time thinking "turning off the water while I'm brushing my teeth" has much effect on conservation what with a Snapple/Dr. Pepper bottling plant using 1m gallons of freshwater a day having been built in an actual desert solely to enable state republican politician grift by promising JERBS to sadsacks in Victorville, CA too - but given that CA's current policy (as seen in that documentary) is 'Get Our Water, By Hook Or By Crook' using money, influence, and the god-given ability to bully the nobody states that surround it, I don't know that this is going to change a lot once legitimate hostilities kick off. Plus we have to fight Civil War II: Guns Guns Guns!!! first, we'll see how much waterbearing territory the New California Republic ends up with after that.

The current channel, yeah. He had some videos on his personal channel before, but he got smart and made a dedicated channel. Samcrac has some good poo poo. I'm wondering how the DXP is gonna play out though - IMO, he really should have pulled the logos/signage from that thing before he put it back on the road - Dominos is fiercely protective of their brand recognition.

And we have a highway system so we can just, like, drive the tanks there instead of shipping them overseas. And also they use a money that only has value because everyone believes it has value, and also that money exists in decentralized computer systems. And also civilians and world image. And also FOOD and bartering systems (and the lack thereof). If any state tried to leave, or if a war were declared against a rogue state, even Texas, that state would be hosed. Nobody cares about your guns at home (I say this as a supporter). It's literally irrelevant in the big picture. In this theoretical Cali vs Texas debate, one has food, water, money, and people. The other has less. Still a lot, but less.

Most, likely all, of the water in the San Joaquin Valley comes from within California. It is shipped, but all internally. The water we take from Nevada and Arizona is mostly used to grow cotton in the desert because gently caress you. (They also grow other stuff, but most of the food is from the central valley.) Sure, some of the colorado goes to LA, but they also get water from Norcal and also, gently caress 'em. edit: The concept that California doesn't have guns is hilarious and more of a product of watching fox news than living here. We basically make it mildly inconvenient for felons to buy AR-15s and suddenly we're loving England. nm fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Apr 10, 2018 |

I went to Costco today (while sick, didn't know it at the time but the world was all "zoomed in", in hindsight) and spent like $100 on a handful of things. I mean, now I have soap, mouthwash, ibuprofen, peanut butter, and canned veggies for weeks/months. But 100 loving dollars!
