Depends on how much Star Trek we've been watching lately.

Every theater has about 2 seats blocked off because they squeak too much and have been complained about. I'm blown away at the amount of religious content at theaters. There is tons. Some of it is basically like going to evangelical church. They're not movies they're sermons in theaters.

This one is made by a D'Souza, the same name behind that movie about ballot boxes being stuffed in 2020. It's nonsense.

I'm at the stage where if I sit around too much it starts to hurt, but if I make healthy choices and exercise everything is still fine. It's like my body requires healthy choices. Wasn't like that before.

Simpsons did it!

"Well, frankly, test scores like Larry's would call for a very generous contribution. For example, a score of 400 would require a donation of new football uniforms, 300, a new dormitory, and in Larry's case, we would need an international airport."

Basically his ideas are automatically the good ideas, and since Harris isn't gonna do the exact same thing as him that means she'll be bad. Same logic in saying she'll be bad for Israel, the southern border, etc.

None, and I can offer proof:

• The Taking of Pelham 123 (1974) the crime was committed without cell phones, but in the 2009 remake with Denzel Washington they had cell phones and still chose to commit the crime.
• The Manchurian Candidate (1962) we have a political assassination without cell phones. But in the 2004 remake with Denzel Washington the cell phones do not stop the criminals from being criminals.
• Man on Fire (1987) the crime is a kidnapping. Then in the 2004 remake (with Denzel) again we see the same kidnapping is still committed with cell phones.

You add cell phones and Denzel Washington to the situation, and seems like nothing much changes.

But in numerous captain's logs Janeway explains how their adventures weren't a delay at all, and actually saved them lots of time.

They don't justify it, they just do it. Same with gerrymandering.

Lots of places have rules about how many polling stations per county. It's designed to create lines to vote in cities and no lines in rural areas.

Significant delay combined with the party that insists elections are supposed to be over at midnight. Seems like an obvious recipe to count certain votes first and then whoops out of time.

This bot shouldn't be able to call itself a "fact checker" when it doesn't check any facts from the articles it replies to. It just spams its own bias opinion about what bias the website has in general.

You are a spam bot. Lemmy would be better off without you.

Murder is definitely crossing a line. The line is called "murder" and you cross it when you assassinate someone.

We don't have enough children, our birth rate is too low. Yet allowing young immigrants to come in? Terrible idea for some reason.

Maybe I'm explaining the joke, but Jon is supposed to be an Everyman.

I'm a huge long-term fan of the Garfield comics. Lyman basically ditches Jon with Odie. It's never explained in detail because it's a 3 frame comic. More optimistically, and "cannon" Jon was enthusiastic about inheriting Odie while Lymon left for unexplained reasons. Jon thought owning a dog would help him meet women.

As for the quote you referenced. Garfield has thought bubbles. Jon talks. Lyman exists because he can talk while Garfield can only "think". Jim Davis originally thought it would be confusing to have thought clouds and talk bubbles interacting. Like how does a cat talk with a person? But that quickly became the norm in the comic. Once talking and thinking could interact, Lyman no longer needed to exist.

Rare appearance of Jon's friend Lyman, who doesn't appear in hardly anything after 1980.

Or when you're on the treadmill and then one of your steps is an inch too far to the side.

The metric system is a tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.

The article makes it sound like he was tied to the trunk of a tree, not hanging from a branch, and also that there was no knot in the rope. I'm definitely having trouble putting those details together into suicide or murder or lynching, the whole thing is very odd.

What was the rope for if it was a suicide? Seeing that we know he wasn't hung by it.
