Internet magic, fueled by finely ground pixie buttock.

In rage news, I seem to have accidentally slept for about three hours longer than I intended. Whoops.

It wouldn't taste awful, though. It just wouldn't taste. Which would, indeed, be not all that good. Or all that bad. Or anything. Nihilibooze.

... don't kill the in-group is pretty bloody universal, yes. Even in cultures that had the occasional exception (human sacrifice or mercy killing, ferex), they had exceptions to a general rule that held steady. Hell, even with asocial animals that general rule (don't kill own kind... more generally, don't kill when unnecessary) holds (if only due to energy expenditure reasons). Don't know enough about microscopic ecologies and whatnot to say if it's significantly-more-true-than-not there, too, but for most everything else it is.

We're really getting kinda' far off base here, though. Most major religions straight up hold to either an objective morality or a singular source of morality (conceptually, the divine, more practically the holy texts and religious organizations), which makes the question of whether there's an objective morality in reality kinda' pointless if you're looking to better understand religious beliefs. As a rule, they believe so, and all that's really left to discuss there is the particulars...

A macaroni and cheese omelette with obnoxiously hot sauce.

EDIT: And this energy horchata is surprisingly tolerable, despite all evidence that it ought to be an abomination. It's a canned dairy product that isn't condensed milk, and yet. Drinkable.
At first I wondered what horchata was, and what country english speakers stole it from. Then I checked. And, uh.

Dairy? It... doesn't look like most of the variations of it involve any dairy at all >_>

Also looks vaguely interesting. Apparently can be made from rice (among other things), so it might be worth trying to make some at home.

E: Though I'm now wondering what happens if you make it with pecan instead of almonds or whatev'. Almonds have to buy, pecans you pick up off ground. Well... I don't think right now, but later in the year.

... the manga, on the other hand...

... well, the one I've actually read was decently heavy on the shota and harem side of things. Somewhat amusingly so, but...

They're probably hoping that if you buy one, you'll have to buy the set of three or you won't have a series-correct team, and if you want to model the top two facing off, you have to buy 6 gunpla. Pure greed. If they had multiple gundams per single challenger then you'd probably just buy their most iconic version.

Maybe they figured the anime doesn't have enough potential for a third or generally ongoing seasons, so given that the first season was so popular, this season is tacked on and they're maximizing the toy sales potential to bleed this particular stone dry.
... this kinda' reads like you haven't actually watched the show. At all. Several of the characters actually have used multiple mobile suits, and while character development is a bit weaker this go 'round, the show is quite far from ruined. It's... still pretty decent. Yeah, it's a bit more cash-y this time around, but it's still good enough.

Honestly, I've been noticing the fanservice uptick more than character/plot related problems, so far.

So yeah, the nypd is going to specifically set up their crowd control people with machine guns, long rifles, and mraps.
The most amazing thing about this is that someone, somewhere, thought it was a good idea. You'd think that sort of person would have died of asphyxiation due to being too stupid to breath, like, decades go. Is the NYPD ran by a stupidity lich? Is that what has happened? Someone was so stupid their soul ran away and hid in a box, and now they're running a major law enforcement agency. This is the world we live in. Maybe we'll get lucky and one of the walls those machine guns end up punching through will have the phylactery on the other side and save us this misery.

Cooked macaroni and cheese and pizza* for the first time in... years, I think.

It is delicious ;_;

*If this is somehow not descriptive enough, it's where you cook M&C, then slice a pizza into little bits and stir it in.

Or no, she tears off the mask and then switches parties and submits as a republican candidate.

That would be kinda' amazing.

Mm... for what it's worth, it's currently a very different venue, isn't it? National vs. international, under-18 vs. everything. That might have something to do with it. Or maybe they've just decided this season needs a higher chump quota, I'unno.

It's... usually not quite that bad. Even in rural hellholes. Not sure what's up with wherever that is.

*shrugs* 6-8 are on GOG or steam. There's some console versions of several of the earlier ones (some of them even translated!) you can paw through via emulation. Everything else is... also online, but... hoisted flaggy. Well, moreso than the emulation is.

It's... a lot like this. Which is understandable, considering it's the same composer and whatnot. Give just a mo' and...

Here you go. Sorta' gibberish, anyway. There's some french in there, but iirc it's mostly just saccharine nonsense.

No catgirls or molepeople, nor awesome organ pub music. I can safely say it's not escaflowne.

... though that reminds me I really need to get that gibberish song (or two?) back in my playlist one of these days. It was cheerful.
