When Dale died?

Season 2 was such a melodramatic let down.

After that first season I read most the comic books and loved them but the TV show just became so much worse, I couldn't stomach it.

I later found out the actor that played Dale wanted out because he was a close friend of Season 1 showrunner Frank Darabont who had been run off by AMC executives. Kinda tied it all together.

The graphic novels are great, though. Seriously, go read them.

Simply mentioning china or any ethnicity at all is seen as racism to them because grounding reality in anything other than communist propaganda is seen as a threat.

Marx encouraged fascist dictatorships as a method to bring about the proletariat revolution.

And this is why dictators love the, "give me just a little more power and once it's secured I'll hand it all back to the people, pinky swear" schtick.

You can't just rant about java.

You have to pick a timeslot, get at least 5 signups, get a building assignment, get department signoff from the department head, write a syllabus, assign a TA...

Thats right, even a rant about java has to be a class.

What's your favorite dinosaur? How many could you fight off at once?

Keeping their grid only in Texas allows their energy sector to skirt federal regulations since it doesn't fall under the Interstate Commerce Clause.

Skipping federal environmental and Safety regulations allows texas energy Corporations to be more profitable.

Su-34s are practically target practice at this point.

They're usually used to choke people.

That Evil Wizards name?

Siatama.

Most restaurants are chains and owned by a small handful of corporations and mega-franchisees. Their shareholders make a lot of money.

Most small businesses (restaurants or otherwise) go broke because they are undercapitalized or otherwise mismanaged.

It takes money to make money.

And If you want to make the jump from wage earner to small business owner, making higher wages helps a lot.

Higher wages means the next generation of small businesses are more successful. More successful small businesses create more competition and keep prices lower for consumers.

I disagree that the culture currents have changed that fast.

If the economy recovered and gave much better prospects for young people and housing was cheaper, they'd still be expected to move out on their own.

I think people understand the realities of our current situation, but usually multigenerational housing is still not considered an ideal situation.

Tetrapod animals (those with four limbs) are all thought to be related.

This group includes two main divisions amniotes and non-amniotes. Amniotes produce young in eggs with four distinct layers (one of which is the Amnion) which makes them well-adapted for surviving on land. Frogs and Salamanders are examples of non-amniote tetrapods.

Amniotes are a large group which are divided into groups based on the number of openings in their skulls near the temples. The two surviving groups in today's animals are synapsid (one pair of openings) which includes all mammals. And diapsids (two openings) which includes all modern reptiles and birds.

The Mesazoic Era (the age of the Dinosaurs) was 250 million years ago (Ma) to 65 Ma.

Dimetrodon was a synapsid that lived about 295 Ma. So it's not really in the right evolutionary family to be a dinosaur, and it lived long before dinosaurs.

It superficially resembles a large lizard (but in reality it's a closer relative to mammals than any true dinosaur).

I assume you are American, and probably not Hispanic?

Because these assumptions are extremely cultural.

Anyways, for white Americans "Self-sufficiency" (or Self-reliance as Ralph Waldo Emmerson called an extreme version of it) is an old Puritan value, like hardwork and lifelong monogamy.

this is the reverse of "if you can't afford a job that pays you find another job".

Not even close.

If you live in a tipping culture and can't afford to tip, then you can't afford to eat somewhere with a waitress.

Poverty in Kentucky and wider Appalachia is still a very real and very serious problem.

It's very hopeless feeling and was hit extremely hard by the opioid crisis.

I'm sure it was bad 100 years ago, too--although alcoholism was usually the drug of choice back then.

Lots of systematic suffering. Children growing up in the nightmares their parents created for them.

But it's not slavery, lol.

If you don't think Trump's potential re-election isn't THE news story of the year, I don't know what you think real news is.

The pic is of Mortadella, not ham.

Every conspiracy theory comes back to covering for oil money and the political party they run (Republicans).

Watergate proven to happen? "Yeah, but aliens..." worked so well to distract and muddle the public that Reagan was elected in another landslide six years later.
