These aliens appeared before in S1E7 and they all look like old people. Maybe it's just natural to the species, like they're just born to look and dress like stereotypes of old humans?

Every alternating Saturday at 12:00 pm here.

When I was on Facebook, I was subscribed to my local city FB page. Every time that damn siren went off, even for actual storm emergencies, people would post asking what that noise is. It got so bad that the city put a YouTube clip of the siren audio on their own website to let people know what it sounds like. But that didn't stop them from asking every damn time.

In my city, the test goes for 15 seconds while the real thing is like 3 to 5 minutes.

Also, apparently they don't even sound a test siren if there is rain or clouds in the area.

I had a coworker tell me, with a straight face, that corporations are socialist because they're owned by a bunch of people who get a share of the profits.

Pay no attention to those obvious signs that the economy is failing, because the stock market has been recovering these past few days! Even though like a month ago we told you to pay no attention to the stock market because the falling numbers don't mean anything!

hilarious text art about how she chugs wine

"Live, Laugh, Love" art, but for winos. My aunt's kitchen walls are filled with this slop.

Yeah, Vader in the first SW movie was more like hired muscle instead of the Emperor's right hand man. He's subservient to Tarkin and he's openly mocked by Imperial officers throughout the movie. Certainly not someone who's basically second in command of the whole Empire.

I'm sure something in the canon explained its way around this, but it's obvious that George Lucas didn't have the backstories of these characters planned from the beginning like he'd claimed.

I'd be for it if they were the only ones who get affected in a crash. What about innocent people who might get hurt from a 90kg projectile? Or the people who have to mop up the mess?

Listen, if people want to buy and drink plaster cosplaying as milk, it's their God-given right to, and the government shouldn't have a say. Let the invisible hand of the Free Market™ decide whether or not it's a good idea.

A few months ago I thought there was no way he'd be stupid enough to dismantle the institutions that keep the US in power, because monied interests that depend on it would have him deleted, sent to prison for real, or at the very least impached. But holy shit the lack of opposition to his antics, other than some performative fingerwagging from liberals, is amazing.

I don't even know what to believe anymore.

And the few that do won't go very far beyond that and say the problem is "crony capitalism," "not true capitalism" or go straight to JQ-ing.
