Pointedly, there is buy-in to that mess from folks pretty high up the sociopolitical ladder. Their imagination has done more to put us where we are in terms of world hunger and whatnot than doing anything to solve it.

I was looking for a reason to shoehorn in Battlefield Earth into the convo, and what do you know, that too is a weird alien movie

I bet the reason we've never talked to aliens is because they think we're boring.

Over the last couple months I've become pseudo-left handed, or pseudo-ambidextrous. My right elbow is still recovering from the hairline fracture I suffered last year, and it doesn't hurt but it still feels like I shouldn't be putting any pressure on it, so I've just been using my left hand for everything important. Using it for a lot of things that require dexterity was awkward at first, but now it feels somewhat natural.

There was some early 2000's alien invasion movie about that, where lizard aliens were inciting global warming as a way for us to terraform for them.  I don't remember much except that one of the aliens was disguised as a human and used a pocket singularity grenade to escape the main character at one point.

In fact I got it initially confused with the V (for Victory) mini-series, which I thought was made in the early 2000's but apparently was made in the early 1980's!  It must have been 2 decades old when I saw it, and I thought it was new.

I am good at watching film

But yeah I'm surprised we don't see more stories where global warming is a plot by xenos.  It gets passed around conspiracy circles sometimes but such people tend to resist the idea of global warming, or the globe, in the first place.

The 80's one wants as daytime afternoon reruns when I was young, but iirc there was a post-00's attempt at a remake.

someone has apparently been telling my grandmother i've been running a red light in my room (i.e. advertising for prostitution in the most rock stupid way possible, which, just. No, on several levels starting at practical) at night

and my non-verbal reaction just, like. Honey, 1, I don't get nearly that much play, 2, you literally couldn't pay me to fuck anyone that would be a customer for that in the county I live in -- they way too damn poor and too damn std ridden to be able to afford the floor price on that one

this is what happens when old people talk to drug addicts, i guess, i'unno what the hell's going on with this one

I have been totally unable to connect to bay12games.com, and also wikipedia, all week. My phone, my laptop, neither work.

What did you do to anger jifodus??



Hmm... When 125 out of 180 of pages in, you start doubting a history book because of the misuse of a single word... I mean I knew this was sorta written for a less academic target audience, but no dear bbc life, ivory sculptures and fancy manuscripts can never be Kleinkunst, I see that you tried to say miniature artpieces but kleinkunst is art made without or with minimal use of tools, basically cabaret.

I thought it was an understated concept.  I think aliens are downright revolted by us.

I always get a bit sad when I don’t recognize the name that got banned, but having been involved in the conversation that got lagslayer (I think it was them) banned, and having the occasional distasteful conversation with some of the other people that got banned, I don’t know if I should wish these things upon myself.

Damn, I really thought we'd be able to go a year without anyone getting banned. For some reason, I keep deluding myself into thinking that Toady has finally banned all the crazy people only to get proven wrong.

I assume the strange names are upper boards folk.

The banned person joined this year.  So...
It also puts this conversation in an all new light.
