Spoilers season 5 ep 1 Doctor Who (new series to be specific)just in case it's needed, couldn't figure out the spoiler formatting, yeah old but I wouldn't want to deprive anyone watching first time

First Matt Smith episode he basically scares off the aliens by saying 'you can figure out who I am, do you want to continue this?' ... And for some reason they run from the dude who never wants to touch a gun heh. To be fair he always tries talking until they leave him without peaceful options, which makes him an awesome hero.

As a neighbor to the US the amount of votes he receives is terrifying, I thought the general public was better but learned soon after COVID it was not. No need to worry about your fellow man if he's dead after all right? Like even if a party wanted to do most of his platform cough heritage foundation it'd at least be more palatable (to understand) than them wanting to vote in someone who wants to loot their treasury and just avoid jail....unless they're all criminals...huh.

I assume there's always a group of them for all popes or am I incorrect? Mean not necessarily the same people but someone must not like whichever one is current enough to form a group in the past.

Online these days it's like fishing in a barrel to find someone with your weird ideas so no digging needed there.

According to Wikipedia a candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win, if no one gets 270 votes then it goes to the other vote. All I'm saying is one avenue I've read about is they are trying to have enough people in place to ensure the Democratic candidate can't get the electoral votes to win to force the house to vote by not certifying their states's results.

I'm not saying it's likely or possible, that's beyond my knowledge of the process so I really have no clue, but that's slightly different than the VP not certifying the votes though it's the same end result.

I thought states needed to certify before it got to Congress? This would be not sending any results period so the VP isn't involved yet. Least that's my understanding.

I think one idea this time is to have enough states not certify the results to force a vote for president where each state gets a single vote. Since there are more Republican states they vote in Trump. Not sure what safeguards there are against states that decide not to certify even if they don't have proof, or what role courts play in that scenario.

Most of this isn't directly related to the comment but it got me typing.

I do like the bit where he said he put the rejection letters on a nail, and it was pretty full, think this was his teen years, probably submitting to pulp magazines. It didn't seem like any time in his life wasn't filled with wanting to write, and he kept at it (obviously heh) and used the rejections as motivation to improve. He is a pretty good narrator as well, I enjoyed listening to Needful Things read by him, and have listened to On Writing a few times now.

That man can spin a good yarn, his stories have been a part of my life since I was probably too young to be reading them(not to mention tv and film adaptations) but I was reading at least. Even remember one time getting extra credit for the summer reading program cause I read The Eyes of the Dragon since it was much longer than most kids reading material. I just read whatever and a lot at the time, since no Internet back then.

The Real Ghostbusters was always one of my favorites growing up, or Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters, think they added Slimer (the name to title) later but it's been awhile. It was on streaming a number of years back, least in Canada. The guy who voiced Venkman also voiced Garfield if I'm remembering correctly.

I'm not sure I've heard that one, very similar and awesome. I should read some of him, yes I know very famous just something I haven't got around to doing.

He hasn't changed strategies since his 20s I bet. When you're rich and everything just takes some money to sort out you don't need to adjust, change is hard in later years. Plus you can see Roy Cohn stamped on him like Roger Stone, all they know how to do is attack but not produce anything. That was half of the Stone documentary on Netflix it seemed.
