There’s something to be said for a wild source of meat.

Migratory herds disperse seeds and fertilize soil with their manure, while cutting back on overgrowth without overgrazing.

Most poverty reduction this century has been in China. Poverty levels flatten out if you exclude them from the data.

If you wanna get mad at Obama, he campaigned on closing Gitmo, but did nothing while in office. You know, that same facility Trump is currently using to detain people.

history without President Andrew Johnson, so much could have been different

I don’t know about weaponizing anything, but I do know the only energy positive fusion reaction was done by making a little pellet of hydrogen, carefully aligning a room full of lasers, and then zapping it into helium. Each time they did it, someone had to walk into the chamber to put in the pellet, and they’d have to spend a few hours aligning the lasers again.

You get more energy out than you put in, but it just doesn’t scale.

California had a prop to end prison labor. They rejected it.

don’t you guys have better consumer protections?

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Personally I’d rather save 20 dollars on my taxes

woah, bub, inflation is bad but it’s not that bad. A fountain would come out to… like maybe a dime at most split between taxpayers. Depending on what budget it’s coming out of, like if it were a federal park, probably less than a full penny.

GLaDOS would read that seduction is a highly successful tactic for getting what you want, attempt it for all of 0.68 seconds, before declaring it a mistake and switching on the neurotoxin.

that’s what Archive Of Our Own is for

No, I don’t have a favorite person. I assume others don’t either.

I dunno, Trump seems capable of recognizing when something doesn’t play well in front of an audience. Like, the one skill he actually has is working a crowd.
