You'll take washington over my dead body. Only place in this bloody country with decent weather.

Cali's pretty alright in a bunch of places, too. Also a lot of people there, so we'd need to put them somewhere else. Would be giving up too much GDP to let those ones go.

Oregon... they can have oregon. Is there even anyone living there anymore?

You can have the carolinas. Whole tri-state area, really, at least including the florida panhandle. You'll choke on 'em, so have fun :V

Sleep paralysis is fucking terrifying. Bravery has nothing to do with it.

Not sure if I'd call it fucking terrifying, but it's certainly zero sorts of pleasant. @C, please don't induce suffering on yourself as some sort of silly benchmark of suffering exposure sort of nonsense. No real benefit from experiencing sleep paralysis. Is just undergoing unpleasantness you can't do anything about.

Ain't no shame in freaking the hell out a bit if you experience it, though. Or being scared of it or whatev'. None at all. M'just glad my experiences with it have been few and short, heh. Ruddy unpleasant, it is.

... neo's speculating based on the stated history in the article, presumably. Long term substance abuse plus chronic depression and an unknown learning disability can be associated with some rather unusual behavior. Don't really know enough about the history involved to extend that sort of assumption, though. Person could have been a pretty calm depressive drug user. It happens.

Try first, despair second. Google knows your brain

Lot of people seem not to, yeah. Being fair, at least on some machines (like mine :V) it's like three buttons pressed at the same time or some crap. That's more than some folks are comfortable with usin'.

... y'know, given the whole occasional spiel about vampires needing to feed the vampire's blood to their victims to cause a conversion, uh. Transubstantiation suddenly comes under an entirely different light.

Also now I'm wondering how feasible a scam that would be to run in some vampire flavored RPG. Trick the consecrated wine into functioning metaphysically/magically as the master vampire's blood, maybe manage to weave exsanguination into a particular sect's funerary rights if it's necessary for the conversion... country/world wide vampire production factory, right there. Probably even built in "genuine" miracles via vampire abilities, too.

S'actually something that hit me earlier today, reading something elsewhere on the 'net. It's kinda' odd that there's not more casters plying the faith circuit in modern-day magic series. Considering it's already a (many) multi-million dollar fraud market just with plain ol' con-men (to say nothing of the resources circulating normally), it'd be incredibly fertile ground for someone with supernatural abilities to exploit for... whatever, really. Room and board if nothing else.

Heat based death rays fall comfortably under the Tao of Laser Beams, serg. Most straight-line directed energy weapons do, really.
