As a Florida Man I can confirm that this is 100% true.

This CERTAINLY couldn't have any national security consequences, nope.

That or when the range is so huge as to be meaningless - a $25k-150k range is completely useless.

And nothing of value was lost.

Trump Can Only Think of Himself After Fans Collapse at Town Hall

FTFTA

That was definitely the joke, yeah

"Would of", "could of", and "should of" infuriate me for some reason.

People obviously fake-playing musical instruments. Either get a double who can play it or have a pro spend a few hours a day with the actor for 2 weeks to get them to at least have the basics down enough to look somewhat convincing.

Yeah, so I can totally avoid it!

No it's not, snakes aren't very bright but unless it's starving (which that snake clearly isn't) a captive born/bred snake isn't likely going to eat anything it's not used to. Dogs are way more likely to attack than a pet snake.

Every Supergiant game should be on this list,

Tell that to the Lachrymose leeches!

Wow you spelled that next line really wrong

Good God, Lemon.

If only we knew.

So they're just doing a way shittier version of the movie "Her"?

Granted I'm not in California, but is this actually an issue? As someone with fairly intense dog/cat allergies it's actually been really hard to find NON-pet-friendly places to rent - those seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

The Lies of Locke Lamora would make a fantastic show/movie if done well, and I feel like the vast majority of it is pretty screen-friendly. Basically just some minor cgi for the scorpion-hawk and Falselight and you're good.

My Pokemans, let me show you them.

I don't know about worse, but the Eragon books and movie are equally terrible.

I respect your opinion, but hard disagree - SFTD is good but both Villains and (especially) ...Like Clockwork are better musically and lyrically imo.

See, this dude's an experienced and responsible Florida driver.

And what's the deal with airline food?

Not sure if this is quite what you're looking for, but the journals of a lot of famous writers and poets are published - people like Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, etc. who had bipolar disorder might be of interest. Plenty of psych memoirs out their too by people like Terri Cheney and Marya Hornbacher that might be of interest.

Malazan Book of the Fallen, Gentlemen Bastards series, most of Neil Gaiman's work, The Library at Mount Char, the Baru Cormorant series, Gatsby, Flowers for Algernon, and most of Plath's work - I go back to most of those every few years.

LOOMING OUT OF THE DARK

The Queen is Dead is the only Smiths album I like, the others just don't do it for me.

Sorry guys, the end times are on us, but at least they're cute and fluffy.

I've really been enjoying EVE Online for the past few months. Tried it a decade ago and bounced right off, but it caught me this time around.

That's actually not a bad idea in principal but would you want to live in a place after Matt Gaetz?

The "smart home" story in particular is oddly prescient.

The series is fantastic but it does get quite heavy in a lot of ways. Very heavy on the ways people and societies are shitty to each other, but the central theme of it really is compassion.

I think I saw it first on Fark, which definitely dates me.

Igor Stravinsky, Chris Rouse, Alfred Schnittke, Witold Lutoslawski, and Gustav Mahler are probably my top 5 composers.

Freespace 2, and particularly the Freespace Open mod Blue Planet. Fantastic gameplay and the story/characters/mission design in the Blue Planet mod take a 90s game and make it better than most current ones.

Take my opinion with a slight grain of salt because it's been at least a decade since I read the book and a half of the series that I got through, but from what I recall the books just didn't really have much to them - flat characters, awkward dialogue, and the actual prose itself was pretty bad. It was also boring enough that I just didn't care about anything that was happening, and I'd read enough good fantasy by the time I read Eragon that its flaws were hard to look past - I know the dude was a teenager when he wrote it, but that doesn't make the work magically better. Not trying to shit on anybody's parade, but it just really wasn't my thing.
