I think it's saying the third little pig (the rich one) is in league with the wolves. It literally has blood on its hooves

This is at least the third time. FFXIV was terrible at launch and was fixed a couple of years later with the release of 2.0

the whole "Deckard's a replicant thing" is lame because it ruins his character arc if he is. IMO the whole film is a comparison of the human Deckard who coldly murders replicants without mercy (like a machine) vs the replicant Roy who kills with passion, and eventually grants mercy to his enemy. The replicant is "more human than human", and the human is more machine-like than the machine. Deckard's story is going from a robot-man to someone who actually feels alive and concern for someone other than himself at the end.

"You childless losers probably spend all your time rescuing cats from trees!" Vance reportedly yelled as he ran off stage, mascara streaming down his face.

Reminds me of this genuine photo of bison skulls from the late 1800s

The US government encouraged mass hunting of bison to force Native Americans to give up their way of life that depended on them and move to reservations where they would be "allowed" to live. Unless something valuable was discovered on that land later.

When colonists first started arriving there were upwards of 60 million bison in North America, traveling in vast herds that provided much of what various nomadic tribes needed to live on. At the lowest point in the late 1800s there were around 541 known animals in existence. Now there are around 500,000 in NA, the vast majority of which live on ranches and are farmed for meat. There are around 20,000 living on conservation lands.

It's great when dystopic defense contractors take names from the things I love! Palmer Luckey started one called Anduril, and I just can't tell you how much I love these fucking shits co-opting Tolkien's words in their endeavors to profit on oppression and murder.

Their point is they no longer care

I think they're not being built in most US (and maybe Canadian?) cities because nimbys only want single-family detached houses to be built to preserve their home's value

least that's what I've gathered from watching youtube videos on urban planning and reading articles

Companion to the John Carpenter film The Thing.

 

Currently there is no rule for when a vote is over, or when the vote is tallied. I propose we allow 24 hours from post creation to allow everyone in the community to have a chance to see and consider a proposal and vote. After 24 hours from post creation, the 'polls' would close and the votes can be tallied. Any votes cast after 24 hours would be invalid.

Edit: some good points made, I withdraw this proposal
