"Mission Accomplished!"

What's the methodology for Netflix in alphabetical order? Do categories count? Action then comedy? Movies then tv shows? Do episode titles fall under each series, do they carry the series title first then the episode title, or is it a global alphabetical?

Other carnivorous plants do this as well. I had one sundew slowly conquer several pots with little teeny tiny baby sundews

What a brilliant show

Agreed. But also, it's a good way to communicate complex ideas quickly like Darmak and Jalaad. And many novel ideas come from "What if (blank) did (thing) but differently?" Like a huge portion of art history is just artists doing something another artist did in a different way.

Pretty sure Kars would only have sex with his own reflection, if he wasn't a stone cold lady killer

I think there's a little room for nuance, but not much. The way corporate landlords are buying up houses and collaborating to fix prices is totally fucked and needs regulated. There also needs to be regulation or limits for private property owners who buy up a bunch of properties and slumlord it.

Where I think there's nuance is how things fall right now. I just left the military and I'm renting out my house exclusively to military occupants who are not trying to buy. I bought it at 3% interest and my mortgage is more or less fixed. The next buyer was looking for it as an addition to their rental portfolio. I did the math before deciding to rent and found that because my interest and mortgage are so low I can charge $800/month less in rent than a mortgage would be if I sold it. It's also less than their housing allowance so they have more for utilities and food.

It's regrettable that this is the situation, but in this specific case in a very high demand/low supply area, renting it out is the lesser of the evils. Hopefully the market crashes or rates fall and I can sell it to a family who needs it. But until then, I'll try to make things easier on some service members.

Maybe the rise of fascism or demographic collapse

Better than the "I'm Voting Felon" shirt I saw today

I am deep in a glorious fuck up phase at this moment, but the comeback will be mediocre at best
