"No" and you are worst in the world for not helping the victims or allies. "Maybe" and you are worst in the world for not being decisive enough.

Our place used to have flooding until they dredged the local river. 27 tons they took out, a poo poo load of shopping trolleys. All from the rat bastard street that even the taxis wont go into.

Some still think its day time so sing all night until they get tired. Some still hunt for food. Some have adapted. I think its the smaller ones that affected, crows and seagulls aren't.

thespaceinvader posted:The new episode of Who was also pretty mediocre. I actually liked it until the SHOCKING TWIST at the end which was completely un-foreshadowed as far as I could tell. It's a small kids fever dream adventure now. It's the small things that loving annoy me in Doctor Who these days. It's as if they don't give a poo poo about obvious things that people would react to. Oh look the Tardis has landed 5 foot from the front gates of a mansion they have to sneak into. Everyone in the mansion would hear it teleporting in, or maybe see the loving thing. And the security paranoid billionaire just doesn't give a poo poo what happens outside his own walls it seems. Next thing they are all motorbike racing experts. After being able to dodge lasers from 1 foot, and sneak into high security buildings straight to the bad guys inner sanctum. A kid, a trainee cop, and an old man are better spies than the actual real spies.

goddamnedtwisto posted:The great thing about these billionaire fortresses is that they've very obviously not thought it through even a tiny amount - all of the servants, maintenance people, and most of all armed guards they'll need to keep it running will have families who will presumably be left outside the walls. What's the likely lifespan of Jeff Bezos when he tells his private security that it's time for them to leave their parents, spouses and children to die in the apocalypse and come make sure he can keep pumping HGH into his cock in New Zealand? There will be a few sycophants willing to do so. Remember there was a guy who started the Elon Must Bitcoin, and wanted to gift half of the existing coins to Elon just to get close to him. Most people though, as soon as Bezos turned around, would shoot him in the base of the neck and take over.

Jose posted:joss whedon has made exactly 1 thing that wasn't awful and i don't really feel like ever watching buffy again in case it turns out that was also awful I detest Buffy. I once saw an episode where the world was going to end, hell going to take over, cats and dogs, etc, and one of the main stars was complaining they couldn't get a date for some event like a prom. And I think this was just after someone unimportant died in front of them. And noped the gently caress out of seeing it ever again.

My local Centra had a junkie OD and die in their public free for all toilet. Thankfully didn't see this. My local chinese had a free for all toilet until two teenage girls went into it at the same time and came out giggling. They had both poo poo everywhere EXCEPT into the toilet. Unfortunately I was there at the time and saw and smelt it. They should put up those open toilets you see in Amsterdam.

In the 2000s every few weeks you would see 'X PREVENTS CANCER HOLY gently caress' articles in all the tabloids. Still do occasionally now. From beer to chocolate, it all helped stop cancer. Turns out the 'research' is always funded by the makers of said product. I remember Cadbury were caught doing this. From your article, the research group is called Ginger Research.

Watch talk. My brother was on holiday in Spain in the late 90s, and he came across this fake brand seller selling stuff from a mobile stall. Knowing the stuff was fake, he bought some sunglasses and a Tag Heuer watch for like 20 euros. To show off when back home. Took it back, turns out the stuff he bought was the real thing. Not sure about the sunglasses, but the watch was. Is still worth a few hundred now.
