Love the director’s cut of Aliens - so much extra character building. I know why Cameron cut it, but it’s good to know it’s an option if I choose.

I for one would welcome the shuttering of US miltary bases in Europe and around the world. Bring it on.

What’s pink and fluffy? Pink fluff.

Duh! This has always been the plan, it’s now just ramping up.

It’s not about ethics, it never was. It’s about CONTROL.

Yes

And I’m constantly fighting the urge to break into a gallop.

I thought it was deliberate for the LOLs

And, apparently, apostrophes too.

On display? I finally found them in the bottom of a locked filling cabinet in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of the leopard”.

Counterpoint: faith and religion have caused more wars, misery, and death than any other single source in human history. We’ve had literally thousands of years of being led by religious leaders, maybe it’s time to try something different. The world needs LESS faith.

Their religion has been telling them they’re the “chosen ones” for thousands of years. Entitlement and victimhood are second nature.

Better get your tinfoil hat then. What @davidgro says is right, your fantasy ideas are just that. Sure, in coming centuries this tech might be possible to be miniaturised and read externally, but for now that’s not even close to possible.

JFC, that took a turn. I hope you’re ok today.

Damn I forgot about the dropbears. Keep your wits about you and you’ll usually be OK, plus we teach kids to stay in pairs if they’re passing through a eucalyptus area.

As an Aussie, I can say the trope of “everything wants you dead” is highly overhyped. I’ve seen three venomous snakes in the wild in my life (and I’ve mostly lived in rural areas) and there’s a couple of venomous spiders, but none that will kill you (unless you’re very young, very old, or very sick). Blue-ringed octopuses, crocodiles and sharks exist, but rarely cause human deaths. You know what we don’t have? Bears. Alligators. Cougars. Wolves. Very few carnivores trying to eat humans here, it’s mostly creatures with excellent self-defense mechanisms.

I’ll remind you that Hamas recruits children.> I’d argue that Israel does Hamas’ recruiting, by murdering their parents.
