20 years ago Doug visited Lewiston ID and he was a very helpful mentor figure for awhile. Also at that time my History 100 prof had a public debate with local Christian Nationalist Doug Wilson about how kind slaves were treated. Doug has gone to speak at Wilson's church several times even recent.

It was the last interaction I had with him. Also perpetuating "the gay agenda".

That's a good idea but I was once a bigger fan then whomever defends him now so fuck them too.

That was where I started and then went backward. I love the martial arts in it but the references to Foundation and treating the goo in Night of the Living Dead as a real thing in universe hit me directly. Funny the current series has me scratching my head a bit about the authors intentions.

I started keeping track back in 2017 or so. Its been helpful imo. As far as finishing series it's frankly shocking when they do end.

I have the pre-z collections which seems good to keep. I got the remainder from the library back in '09 and plowed through them. They're read at about the pace of flipping the pages which is perfect. Read it now and you can see where he mentally quits and then comes back to goof around 👍

Oh shit oh good. At least a couple dozen. Naruto and Bleach being the longest of those. Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer at that perfect length of 10 volumes.

Not surprised. When I had looked up LAPD fatalities once there are a lot of deaths from cop on cop. Also is it interesting that there are currently 750k active duty police but fatalities during service are only a few hundr r any year? Makes the danger from other cops that much more likely.

Yeah that one was very funny when I heard it. To me I hear some of the sweeping portions of the fourth part are echoed in Star Wars, but I'm just a casual music listener. Excellent thread on Korngold btw.

I had a green anole named Larry. It wasn't very thrilling but he managed to travel from California to Idaho. I got a hedgehog when it was super trendy and the beast was super miserable and mean. My wife had a betta that was really smart and lived some absurd length of time like 5 years.

If you ever make buttery pastry it really pales. And there's a nasty tang to the fruit ones.

I definitely had an incredible ability to rarely if ever get lost and could generally navigate to where I needed to be on instinct more often then not. I continue to be absolute garbage at providing directions however.

Delivering pizzas in college really sharpened my map sense. Just a general knowledge that even and odd numbers are opposite and increase away from a town center is really helpful. Anxiety definitely gets the best of some tho.

Printed out map quest for me since I didn't start driving until 2001. I remember cycling through a few sheets trying to navigate through the Tri-Cities in WA to get to Portland. That was a bit of a nightmare. But really our road system is very good and the directions are on the SIDE OF THE ROAD.

I feel like the last two MM books I read were basically the same exact story and just had no good pay off. It felt purely formulaic and devoid of curiosity and now lo and behold.

I was thinking of this with my divorced uncle recently. Like if a man is so upset about trans women how is that anything but a sign of a lack of trustworthiness to most women? Just shooting yourself in the foot but yeah it's everyone else.

Yeah and here it seems embarrassed to address him at all. It's a deeply strange book that failed when it came out but now nearly 100 years later it is kind of prescient for how journalists can entirely miss addressing a very clear problem growing.

YES! I have a 1936 novel titled Brave Old World and it does just that! A light palming against Hitler and Goering and Stalin and also some jabs at Gandhi. British novel written by the journalist Malcolm Muggeridge.
