@gatorgar I have over 30 hours of my favs on a Spotify list, yet it picks the same 40 songs to play and ignores the vast majority.
Fav? "Gentle on My Mind" by Glen Campbell
I'm not a country fan but that song gets me.

@DefiantLs Does her brother know, she spent the night with Hasan?

@JillianMichaels They all did it for the bees in maroon shirts.
Never forget the bees!

@PacelliTroy @pureMetatron That's what your holy book says, yet there have been sects since the beginning of your religion and every other one.
Ever hear of a little thing called "The Reformation"?
English

@Winterscoat @pureMetatron There is one Church (Ephesians 4:4-6). God is not divided (1 Corinthians 1:13). There should not BE different "sects" (1 Corinthians 1:10). "All Scripture is God-breathed" (2 Timothy 3:16) and it's not a good idea to rely on human interpretation (Acts 17:11, 2 Peter 1:20-21)

There is no such a thing as a female pastor, nor priest, nor bishop.

@bush_cat32 I used to do this as a kid.
Now, I have more refined taste.
So, I eat chili with cornbread.

@fandompulse We're lucky if the MCU shows the skull, much less the deep side of the character.
They made Thanos into a farmer wanting material equity, Thor into a gamer bro and The Hulk afraid of coming out.
Hollywood doesn't like comic books.

Mike Baron explains what is at the core of Frank Castle aka the Punisher's character:
"Frank is an obsessed, guilt-ridden Catholic. He holds himself responsible for the death of his family, but he’s not so self-absorbed to wallow in guilt for the rest of his life.
He takes action to ensure what happened to him won’t happen to others. Once he gets started, he realizes, why stop there? Society is rife with criminals who escape punishment. He sees it almost as a holy calling. And every week he goes to Mass, when he can, and he takes confession."
Why doesn't Marvel ever show this in its adaptations?

@nosoup4knowles On this platform I only get this kind of reaction when I trash the prequels.
You are blessed.

@EYakoby An op would imply they were collaborating in an intelligent way.
They aren't that bright.

@Jeanna350 As a 12-year-old at the time, I appreciated how often I got to see her panties.
I thought it was super naughty!

@SandyofCthulhu Don't mess with Honor's cat.
Also, I love Weber's version of the photon torpedo: a relativistic missile that detonates with lasers firing in all directions when it gets near its target.

I assume we all are well aware that in 200 years (if we survive) every nation can have nukes. Every non-dystopian science fiction novel and book taking place in the future assumes we'll have nukes or even more deadly weapons.
Reading some of that speculative fiction might be a good way to see how things might go.

Dan Carlin@dccommonsense
1. This "do you want Iran to have nukes?!" argument wonderfully obscures the much thornier larger question: This is an 80 year old weapons technology that (ostensibly) no one who doesn't already have it is allowed to. How long is that a tenable situation? Permanent inferiority?

@Fair_and_Biased All things considered, I don't believe they could have thought it out.

@GaryD20Games I just want a wife that will want to hear stories of the adventures of my Kender thief Lucca and her pet raccoon Miff Miff.
Is that too much to ask?
English

@RWgorilla The bronze age version of Cyclops was even more understanding than Xavier.
Before Jean's death and again during the Secret Wars, he was a peace maker and rallied the X-Men in a way Xavier no longer could.
The new edgelord version flips the Scott Summers I loved on his head.

@nosoup4knowles @CinemaShogun People actually taking her seriously in any way is a damning indictment of our education system and a blow to the concept of liberal democracy itself.

@Mericamemed "Sir, there is a sign at your park that says 'Don't drink the sprinkler water'. So, I made sun tea with it and now I have an infection.
Sir, Sir! are you listening to me, sir?! Sir, I'm talking to you!"
