Peter, can you explain this to me, please?

I'm not the most familiar with the story, so many I'm remembering wrong. But I googled it to make sure before I posted that.

It's honestly so freaking good. I really wish they'd make another season, but I don't see it happening now that they've done Echos (which I haven't seen yet, no spoilers!). My only complaint is the first season doesn't have Felix's voice actor, but season 2 does, and it's fantastic.

Hey, fellow Tennesseean anarchist. I lived in Erwin for a while, as well as Kingsport. Closer to Knoxville now. Are you still local?

Unicoi county went for Bernie in the 2016 primaries. It's a very small town that has gone through a lot of shit trying to claw it's way out of horrendously bad politics in the 80s and prior. Bumpass cove, where I'm sure some of worst damage was, was the site of nuclear waste dumping, and has been the nucleus of a major swing to the left for a lot of people in the area. Right down the road is Johnson City, a very progressive college town. Dumping on the victims of a disaster because their neighbors, or even they, have shitty politics is a shitty thing to do. Maybe those school kids deserve to get shot because their grandpappy is a Republican? Yes, moments like this should be catalysts for change, but victim blaming isn't the route to take to that.

There's a podcast sequel to Orphan Black that uses the plot from your last point, and it is excellent

Honestly, that really does track with how shit works in here.

"The orphan crushing machine may contain components known to the state of California to cause cancer"

And we're done! Fixed all the problems!

This reminds me of Torchwood

I mean, I guess it depends on where he's keeping his phone while nude. He might enjoy a little nude pickpocketing, if he's open minded, and the pickpocket has sufficient lube

Yay! I've wanted to pay OOT and MM 3DS versions forever, and never got the chance. Tried to get the emulator working a few months ago, and just could not make it happen. Maybe I'll be able to with this

 

Seriously, I doubt it would even take that long. We get used to shit so quickly, and the news cycles have to keep feeding us new things, the only way we'd keep talking about the aliens if they kept doing new and interesting things. I'd be willing to bet a year later there would be some people who straight up forgot about it. "Oh yeah, aliens! Are they gonna, like, visit at some point or just keep exchanging calls with the Whitehouse?"

 

Not sure if this goes here, but whenever I get a reply to a comment, it shows up twice? Any body know why?
