Agreed.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head with “contiguity”, and that alone makes this look so wrong to me. I mean, including Mississippi, Louisiana and West Virginia? China’s Entire Coast, but NOT Taiwan?

Which 50%? Not the top x economies it takes to add-up to at least 50%, so, random countries/states/provinces that happen to add up to 50% … ?

California

Doesn’t include the world’s fourth-largest economy … so what’s the criteria here?

… but I’m not here to sympathise with either of them?

You’re describing the DNC. What’s shown in the pic is, instead, some sort of genuine opposition party at work.

Can’t happen soon enough. The irrelavence, not neccessarilly all the “o m gee they out-number us!!” non-sense. Let’s hope they have a better time of it than India, but its not looking good, thanks to … US and European interference!

Latex porn is no more/less kinky to me than anything else, but damn am I never going to see it the same again.

Seems like a better fit for lemmynsfw.com

Jesus, I had convinced myself that was Green Beans or Pea Pods, but no, you’re right.

Sadly, in most mythos, ridiculously good looks are a pre-requisite. I’m glad you have your own ideas, but I doubt the fiction is thoroughly saturated with that concept in a world where vampires exist and would have contributed no-small-part to the zeitgeist on purpose or accident, simply by nature of their long lives. On the other hand, I didn’t call myself ugly or anything.

Hey now, one of my worst nightmares would be encountering a Vampire who wasn’t offended/didn’t notice me enough to end me or turn me. Sadly, I’m not catching their attention with my good looks.

“Hustle” only involves work for poor people with outstanding character. For the rest of us, its “finding” money by any means available. For the Linked-In -types its the sort of Scum and Villainy that reminds them of the comforts of family and home.

Let me know when there’s a good deal on Open Box and Return merchandise. In the interest of fairness, of course let my wife know the same RE: the Man Store.

Literally came here to say: I thought I blocked this one.

It never was.

That’s some goooood stream-of-consciousness screed right there. Usually, I would have to re-read any paragraphs remotely that long a time or two.

I’m betting it tastes like slightly chewy ranch dressing.

I actually love all of it, minus any need for adding ranch dressing. Just saying that you, me, and OP have no grounds to diss it.
