I was listening to some Canadian podcast last night - CBC's Ideas - and there's a radio show from fucking 1989 with David Suzuki banging on about how fucked we're going to be if we don't get our shit sorted. Back then, they were still super-worried about the ozone, which is a rare sorta-success story where we all came together and stopped making so much of that shit*.
But at the same time, they're fretting about species losses, deforestation, greenhouse emissions... in 1989, panicking about it.
That's nearly 35 years ago.
We really are fucked.
I'm just hoping the fact that insurance companies are starting to abandon entire areas because of this will be the final wake up call for the money people to finally realise they do actually need to do something about this shit. And, possibly, still profit.
- * except for recent huge emissions from various points over in asia somewhere.Nairn
- I fully believe that we as a species have the means to undo this shit. And not too un-quickly. But. It requires motivation. $$Nairn
- Well, undo some shit. I think we have truly- fucked things with micro- pico - nano- etc- plastic particulate pollution. Really badly.Nairn
- Rich people just move, they have their bunkers too.PhanLo
- This is par for the course, as far as David Suzuki is concerned. I remember he was sounding the alarm even as far back as the late 1970s in his TV docs.Continuity
- He should be considered a Canadian national treasure.Continuity
- Apparently he’s a bit of a prick in real life. Maybe he’s unhappy his predictions for the end times keep getting pushed back.monNom

"ice cream" pronounced in a Texan accent:
- You want some ass cream?
- Nah, I'm good".- The idle thought being the sentence "you want some ass cream" being repeated in my idle brain.jagara
- I asked for ice cream once in Texas and all I got was a mouth full of diarrheaYakuZoku
- You better say 'yes', because either way, Texans don't take no for an answerfuturefood

- Maybe NBQ00 would like to share his insights on this?Continuity
- Would you suck off a guy in a 7-11 for a bottle of hooch?Nairn

If you murder someone in space, is it illegal?
- Yes.
The argument "what happens in space stays in space" will not hold in a court of law.palimpsest - Hmm, what about if you eject a someone alive on a ballilstic trajectory, so they die above Las Vegas, killed by space?Nairn
- all airspace crimes; passenger aircraft to space are considered federal. criminals face charges in their home countiesimbecile
- *countries evenimbecile
- so someone can't just slit Elon's throat on his first trip and totally get away with it?Nairn
- Sadly, no unless someone convinces a cop that Elon is blackimbecile
- everything is in space. the entire planet is IN space.sarahfailin
- MIND = BLOWN. EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL = EXTRA JURISPRUDENCE. I AM FREE TO MURDER WHO I WANT, RIGHT HERE ON EARTH! Thanks sarah xNairn

. o O ( typos and generally poor, slightly chaotic typing are a potential defence against future ai replicability of online persona. If you're a shit typer, start writing better where publically-viewable so that your respondants know it's you ( *wink ) amd if you're a generally-coherent typist, pepper your online meanderings wit h tiPos and Mspellllngs.

Everyone who doesn't like or doesn't feel touched by Interstellar, doesn't have children.
- What about people without children who were touched by Interstellar anyway?Continuity
- Idle thought THAT, sir!Continuity
- I need a Venn diagram to really grasp this.sausages
- Ah maybe that's why I didn't like it.NBQ00
- I don't have children and liked Interstellar.CyBrainX
- ...but Matt Damon should avoid space travel considering his track record.CyBrainX
- What about people who touch children but don't like interstellar? Or those that are touched by interstellar leading to them touching children?Ianbolton
- ^ asking for a friendIanbolton
- I personally loved interstellar and don't have or touch childrenIanbolton
- Saying you liked it even without children is missing the point. He’s saying if you don’t like it you probably don’t have kids.monospaced
- I can’t remember interstellar and have children who have not been touched by medee-dubs
- It's a great movie. I can't believe the dude made TENETcrazyprick

Why don't we have ninjas in movies anymore?
The last one I can remember that had ninjas is The Wolverine, which was, what? 2012? '13?
I like ninjas. They need to make a comback.
- Ninjas are a bit silly now, though as a kid it was my dream to be one.
Also https://www.youtube.…PhanLo - There were some in Daredevil https://www.youtube.…PhanLo
- ^ Aah, I never did watch that show.Continuity
- And they're not silly ... they're awesome. :(Continuity
- Lego Ninjago movie?uan
- That‘s what kids are into...Ninjagos and Pokemons...uan
- Think I watched every bad ninja movie in the video shop. Just think street lights probably would catch them out more in modern times. :-)PhanLo
- ^ This is why ninjas have throwing stars.monNom
- Pffft. No self-respecting ninja would ever get caught out by something as banal as a street light!Continuity
- Movies are full of ninjas. You just can’t seem ‘em ‘cause they’re ninjasscarabin
- This was TOP
https://www.imdb.com…grafician - When I was 12 and into ninja movies I convinced my mom to rent one because it said "not rated" on the VHS cover.palimpsest
- It had a lot of gore, obese topless women that might have been sex slaves and dirt bikes. When she walked by as I was watching it she wanted to stop it.palimpsest
- But a deal is a deal and I could finish watching it. I found it really weird for a ninja movie, specially the dirt bikes. Has anyone seen it?palimpsest
- Sounds pretty sweetYakuZoku
- Be ready for TMNT mayhem, mark my words.ApeRobot
- If you remember the name of the film, palimp, let us know. It sounds awful enough to be awesome.Continuity
- I'm looking for it but can't find it. I do it every 2 years when I remember it. I think it had subtitles, really low budget.palimpsest
- @PhanLo has seen all of them so I'm waiting on him.palimpsest
- I got it from this small shop in downtown Baltimore. I don't remember, because at the time I couldn't tell, if it was an arty rental place or a fetish one.palimpsest
- I know exactly what street it was on though: 800 North Charles.palimpsest
- superheroes with superpowers killed the ninjasneverscared
- My ex... Japanese... couldn't understand why the west thinks ninjas are cool - in Japan it's seen as dorky/nerdy/childish...shapesalad
- I reckon I saw that movie too Palimpsest but can’t remember the titlePhanLo
- Well, I wanna know what it is!Continuity
- I'd like to get rid of ninjas and superheroes unless they know how ridiculous they are, like Adam West.CyBrainX
- Ninjas are a bit silly now, though as a kid it was my dream to be one.

My father in law never saw The Thing. He never watched scifi at all really and would watch re-runs of tv shows that people of his parents age would watch on tv.
I think about him not seeing it a lot, I reckon he would have liked it. The characters in another situation could have been in a cowboy film and still been cool.- Classic that still holds up. And one of the 'few' superior remakes.MrT

As long as it does not last more than two days, there are a lot of advantages to a bout of diarrhea when you are trying to kick start a weight loss program.
