Ever seen some of the tribal reservations? Alcoholism rates tend to be much higher and they are often food deserts. http://apps.ams.usda.gov/fooddeserts/fooddeserts.aspx

Not My Leg posted:It's not referring to console generations, it's referring to the Native American principle (apparently originating with the Iroquois Constitution, but more generally adopted by many Tribal Nations) that decisions should be made in consideration of the impact the decision will have seven generations down. Basically, he's using it as shorthand for "won't somebody think of the children." I feel all of shame, disgust and pride at this. Mostly the former 2.

I didn't even know HBO was owned by Time Warner. That would explain why they couldn't get HBO Now to work, and had to contract it out to Major League Baseball.

There's been a lot of huff over this but frankly A) it "moved to HBO" with everything being broadcast nine months later on PBS anyway and B) It would not have been made any more if HBO hadn't funded it. The number TWELVE or say the concept of sharing doesn't age out of relevance. It literally does not matter if kids see the brand newest episode immediately because you could show them a Sesame Street from 1984 and it would still be pertinent. Target audience doesn't care, material doesn't age, taxpayers didn't want to fund CTW, this is a win win win that is only distasteful at the most superficial "Rah rah privatization bad" level. If re-runs aren't still available on PBS or whatever, then I'd say it's a bigger issue but I haven't seen anything about retention of prior material or exclusivity/syndication involved in the deal.

The problem is, though, that PBS's one last shield against getting completely gutted by the GOP (well, moreso than they already have, it's one of the major factors driving my father out of the business) has always been Sesame Street (well, since Fred Rogers passed, but that's beside the point), because no politician wants to be known as the guy who killed Big Bird. Basically, this means PBS is really in the crosshairs now. Basically  but with puppets and less financial impropriety.

If I had kids I'd make sure they spoiled Sesame Street for the other kids the same way I spoil GoT and True Detective to coworkers. Start em early!

I'm not quite able to tell whether this is pro- or anti-embargo (the part about the cigars being the only benefit of dropping it seems oddly pro-embargo for Bors  ) so I'm just gonna assume it's making fun of the way some people I don't know and have never talked to are discussing the embargo

ThePeavstenator posted:For literally $4000/year From a certain point of view the Cubans got a pretty good deal out of it. Gitmo gave the US a naval station on Cuba, but it also kept the negotiated US military footprint on Cuba relatively small considering their proximity and the fact that we've thought about annexing the whole island and making it a state at least a few times.

Is that right? I thought the embargo was being lifted. It seems... contradictory to have an embargo against a country and normal diplomatic relations at the same time. quote:From a certain point of view the Cubans got a pretty good deal out of it.

Also, I would guess "Yankee soldiers on our island!" is useful propaganda for Castro, in the same way that bases in Saudi Arabia was for Al-Qaeda.

Bors was asking twitter for a euphemism for mass invasion on twitter and was going to put the best one in a comic. Has he made that comic yet? I've been looking but I haven't seen it and it's been a week or two.
