So many conspiracy theories in these comments about why American manufacturers don't build smaller cars.

It's very simple, American Auto Companies are loan companies, not auto manufacturers.

Why would they produce a $10k go-kart with a useable bed when they can get people to finance a $110k SUV at 18% APR?

It's not about oil, or other resources, or even labor and tooling.

It's just much more profitable to put you into debt.

*chuckles* I'm in danger

Why worry about Israel attacking a US ship while pretending they are Egyptian in order to draw the US in a wider war? It's not like they've been shown to be spying on the US, or have any recent evidence that Netanyahu's government funds enemies of Israel in order to bolster political support.

This is all a big nothing-burger of millions of lives at stake. 😬

Sandworm size chart

Everything about this is wrong.

  • Graboids are the smallest, maxing out at 10 meters in length.
  • The Sarlaac pit is just the mouth. The actual Sarlaac is 100 meters long
  • The Beetlejuice Sandworm has a head slightly larger than an average door, so about 1 meter wide.
  • Shai Hulud get up to 1000 meters in length (pre-Brian Herbert Lore) and around 40-50 meters wide.

Remember when Trump dropped the biggest non-nuclear bomb the US military has on Afghanistan for no good reason? Designed for flattening buildings on the surface they deployed it against a tunnel complex.

Remember when he pulled out of the Iran Nuclear deal and the invited one of their top Generals to Iraq and then assassinated him with a drone?

Remember when he wanted to employ the US military against protestors on US Soil and called for the Insurrection Act?

Remember when he ended the policy of reporting Drone strikes outside of official warzones so useful idiots would think he wasn't a war monger?

In the mid-90s my dad bought a Compaq Presario and the LucasArts games multi-pack. X-Wing, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, and Indiana Jones. Amazing. I was like a God.

I also remember playing a game called The Neverhood, which was a claymation liminal space game. Gave me nightmares of being trapped there, but it was still one of my favorites.

The White Buffalo

  1. She had Hep C

  2. She was an abuse victim (remember when her dad raped her in like the first 5 minutes? Also how every single man after abuses her?) who could only associate feeling love with being abused. For her to accept Forrest's love she had to first accept that not all love comes with abuse.

  3. Shut up

WILD Jellyfish Gang

There is a species of jellyfish which is functionally immortal. When they get too old they simply turn into children again and re-age.

Edit: I'm not saying it's not biologically immortal, I'm saying functionally immortal because I'm indicating that it can still be killed.

Saying something doesn't experience aging is not the same as insisting it cannot die.

2+2=4 is not less correct because 2x2 also equals 4.
