immediately what I thought of when I read this post. Even when I was 10 I was like "this is weird..."

I won't go so far as to use the word "normie" like this is 4chan, but I will say: I think it's fine. I'd rather have slow growth, thanks. I'm not the arbiter of what kind of users we should attract or anything, but if they have a problem with our silly name I don't want to hang out with them.

He has US citizenship, at least according to wikipedia. Much as I hate him the government can't just revoke that afaik

What I love every time I see this comic is that Alex knew he would be persecuted for his art, and has accepted it.

They fought each other all the time.

Right, Europeans have never fought each other or others for frivolous reasons

spoiler

  1. red
  2. no gender
  3. just an outline, maybe a bit tall?
  4. it was around the size of a softball
  5. the table was circular and small for a table, like maybe two could sit at it. I didn't imagine a material.
  6. I imagined more about the ball than anything else, it was made of a spongy material like in those sponge brushes for painting, and it was red. The person was a complete blank slate. The table was only circular, nothing else.

I think it's saying the third little pig (the rich one) is in league with the wolves. It literally has blood on its hooves

This is at least the third time. FFXIV was terrible at launch and was fixed a couple of years later with the release of 2.0

the whole "Deckard's a replicant thing" is lame because it ruins his character arc if he is. IMO the whole film is a comparison of the human Deckard who coldly murders replicants without mercy (like a machine) vs the replicant Roy who kills with passion, and eventually grants mercy to his enemy. The replicant is "more human than human", and the human is more machine-like than the machine. Deckard's story is going from a robot-man to someone who actually feels alive and concern for someone other than himself at the end.

Companion to the John Carpenter film The Thing.

 

Currently there is no rule for when a vote is over, or when the vote is tallied. I propose we allow 24 hours from post creation to allow everyone in the community to have a chance to see and consider a proposal and vote. After 24 hours from post creation, the 'polls' would close and the votes can be tallied. Any votes cast after 24 hours would be invalid.

Edit: some good points made, I withdraw this proposal
