I just read this, and now i'm pissed.

Why are people like this allowed to live?

Why in the f is it wrong to feed a puppy to a turtle yet it's perfectly acceptable to feed a living mouse to a snake? Animals gotta eat, mang. Yes, it's incredibly weird and yes, it might have been traumatizing for the kids, but the act in itself, the feeding of a puppy to a turtle, I feel is in no way any more or less objectionable than most acts of feeding, including eating a cheeseburger.

Why would this man not be allowed to live? I think people a lot more horrible than him are alive and deserve to be alive.

Alcoholism is your friend no matter where you go.

Unless you're going to a local mormon meeting. Or to rehab. Or to America circa 1920.

We've also incorporated a fair bit of French spellings, and there are some indigenous words that I can't imagine doing without.

Indigenous words? Do tell.

Zkribblers love barbarians. Let us together wear loincloths, beat drums, yowl at the moon, & steal chickens.

Stealing chickens? Are you a barbarian or a fox?

Jane Austen used different to, so at least I'm in good company.

A hangman's twosome so far.

I've been meaning to tell you about how much I enjoyed my trip to Scotland. I just love what the English have done with the place!

I'll have your cattle reived and your endgames spoiled if I ever have the chance.

Dogs are companion animals. I don't see anything strange in treating different species differently.

Anyway, baseball game today. Wanted to eat at some restaurants in the downtown core but I guess that's happening.

What if you turn a puppy into a mass of meat, and then feed it to another puppy?
I mean the dog isn't likely to be Zeus and discover your Lycaon-anthropy ^_^

Still wrong. It doesn't matter who or what eats the puppy.

Oh, EA has announced a new Command & Conq...
Oh, it's a mobile game.
Nevermind...

Didn't they already do this?

 

[GoodSarmatian]

Didn't they already do this?

No, their last attempt at a new C&C was a free to play game on proper PCs. That one was cancelled because of negative feedback.

 

[Synobun]

I just saw the trailer.

Not impressed. Yikes.

 

[Broken_Erika]

I wonder if it'll be like, oh look, the enemy is going to send a tank army against you in 15 mins; harvesting enough ore to get enough credits to build a force capable of stopping them will take approx. 985,972 hours. But you can get credits you need at a rate of $0.99 for 100 credits! Want to research the next tech level?(out of like 50) That'll take 836,414,719 hours per tech level, or you can purchase a tech level upgrade for only $1.99!

I sooooo want to be hyped up for this. Despite everything EA did to the series, despite knowing how it's likely going to turn out... aaaaaah.

I want the RTSes of my childhood back :c

 

[r16]

there is a reason Microsoft kills old computers with new Windowses , nobody would buy a new computer if they could keep playing their old games .

 

[Synobun]

Dennis Rodman crying on CNN, wearing a MAGA hat, shilling a marijuana cryptocurrency, and talking about Trump and Kim is not really the kind of stuff I want to be witnessing while on this rock hurtling through the abyss.

 

[The_J]

Is it not in some way entertaining?

 

[Synobun]

Oh, definitely, but it shouldn't be happening. The upper echelons of politics and news shouldn't be theatre. But here we are.

 

[Broken_Erika]

Doesn't look like i'll be getting any sleep tonight. Stupid humid heat. Barely slept last night either.

 

[Arakhor]

I feel your pain, as I got frequently get pins and needles in my hands, legs and feet if it gets too hot, especially if I'm lying down at the time.

 

[Broken_Erika]

Heat + Humidity + Kitty Litter Box = bad times.

 

[Zkribbler]

My video of Dr. No is missing.

You know if the United Steelworkers Union had done the cross-border solidarity they're supposed to have done, this whole tariff nonsense would have ended instantly. But nooooooo "we're not going to strike if you're only taxing our Canadian and Mexican brothers and sisters". Gods, Trump has people whipped.
