Jurassic World: Dominion has feathered dinosaurs. Including several in the prologue and a badass therizinosaurus.

I’m reading the Bible now (on 1 Samuel,) and yeah, unless you’re already a believer, there’s nothing in there that will make you believe. I found Leviticus fascinating as a look into an ancient religious society, but when it describes in detail how the fat around the intestines and kidneys should be burned in the various types of animal sacrifices, of which Deuteronomy demands thousands per year, it’s clear that this is very foreign and very old.

Problem is that believers are taught to ignore the uncomfortable bits: “Jesus fulfilled the Old Law so we don’t have to do that.” Ok. But why before Jesus did God care about the order in which a sheep’s organs were burned? Why did he find the aroma of burning fat pleasing? Believers won’t answer that, they’ll handwave it as something necessary in old Jewish society but that no longer applies.

Even if you ignore all that, though, the whole thing reads like a giant Skywalker saga. Every tribe and group of people traces their lineage back to someone in Genesis. Every town and site has an origin story: “And then Bob farted on the hill, so they named that hill Smeltit, with means scented wind.” Enemies cower in fear because they hear how awesome the Israelite’s god is and how much better he is than their gods. People freely give out blessings and curses (both of which work), and roll dice as a form of divination, and believers still insist the blessings work today while sweeping the rest under the rug.

It’s obviously all myth meant to explain the world in which the ancient Israelites lived, but you’re only going to see that if you’re not already blindly believing that God orchestrated all of it.

He’s right in that lower information voters are voters too and need a party that represents them.

He’s wrong in the implied solution that lying to low information voters and screwing them over is the best way to serve them.

It is clear you are unable to answer the question that is central to your conspiracy theory.

Also, despite your claims elsewhere in your thread, you have accidentally revealed here that you are indeed JAQing off.

No, your comment is stupid. 16,000 is a big number. 0.00000001 is a small number.

Now that we’ve established that some numbers are smaller than others: namely, that 22.1 million is smaller than 8 billion, 16,000 is smaller than 22.1 million, and 0.00000001 is smaller than 22.1 million, will you quit stalling and answer the question?

The more you dodge it, the more you prove that you have no answer. And without an answer, your entire conspiracy theory falls apart.

So I’ll ask one more time: Why would a government release this specific virus?

Was it because they had gone diamond hands in Zoom stock calls and needed to cash out? We’re all waiting.

Yes, I think 0.28% of the world’s population is small. You still haven’t answered the question. Why, Ted? Why?

To do what, exactly?

“Boss, I came up with a brilliant plan! We’re going to release a virus that mildly inconveniences a lot of people! It’ll clog hospitals in random parts of the world for a couple weeks at a time, kill a small percentage of people, and maybe even strand a single cruise ship! We’ll of course have no control over where it goes or how it mutates, and there will probably be an effective vaccine within a year.”

“Ok, Ted, that certainly sounds like a thing we could do, but FUCKING WHY?”

No. It’s pretty much concluded to have crossed to humans in a wet market.

A betting app where you gamble video game points instead of money. So missing the entire reason betting apps exist.

It’s so people can impulse buy it for others as a gift at Walmart.

Well this article is about 15 years late.

Playing Ship of Harkinian right now and it’s a pretty solid port.

Now add Bombay all by its lonesome

Why not cheap SSD for OS and then 1-2 TB HDD for storage?

$300? I found a bunch on Amazon just now for under $30.

What’s stopping you so far?

No we didn’t. Blockbuster was the soulless corporation that killed all the smaller stores, which were actually good. Fuck Blockbuster.

Parody is fair use. Fuck laws though, if you’re a corporation you just win.

Pad Thai is not a traditionally spicy dish, though. It’s a mild street food, so you have to smother it in toppers to get it hot. You’re way better off ordering a spicy curry and asking for a side of chili oil to raise the heat.
