Couldn't believe I could get credit for it!




Amazon has them, five bucks. Think I'll just do that. I stopped ordering stuff from there mostly, except for a few things we can't get here. Ordering from anywhere is a crap shoot these days though. Ordered Baby Girl a phone case from Walmart last week and the screen protector that came with was for another phone.

I'm sure someone somewhere is getting credit for "underwater basket weaving". Can't get credit for reading if the reading is fun, I guess...
Think I'd call them back and ask if the credit can be retroactively applied to "modern life skills"

Yes. That is two dudes banging on your video game.





For someone that don't care, you sure do fixate a lot. Are you jealous those two dudes in an apocalypse are having a better time than you??



Seriously, you are a sad little prude child..





Nope. Just pointing out how the hypocrisy of the left is in all media, down to movie entertainment and even lowlier video games entertainment.



This really should just be a warning to you about Trump's re-election.

The media is constantly telling you things that aren't true, and for some reason you just keep believing them.



The disconnect is becoming more and more obvious to the normies who don't pay attention to things on the internet. The lefties in 2020 are so far bonkers that people are taking notice.

If you spend all day on twitter listening to the outrage mob screech, you'd think that this is what everybody thinks.


I assure you it's not. Like the Last Jedi, people are going to vote with their wallets on this one. And in November, Trump is going to crush Biden too.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

TLOU2 rockets up to 3.5!

33,718 user ratings.

Stay tuned for a Rotten Tomatoes style purge of the user ratings, because feels over facts!


It's The Last Jedi all over again. Or Dr. Who. Or Captain Marvel. Or (enter any SJW approved anything in the last few years here).



The problem here is that the normies know not to go by the critics reviews now. And when you start redpilling this many people with something as trivial as a video game it doesn't take very long for them to start connecting the dots and realizing that they shouldn't be okay with Left Wing Extremists tearing down monuments of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, despite what CNN has to say about it.


Never go full retard.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Wanted to tell you I watched a Sci-Fi movie on Hulu the other day called Aniara.

It was a transport ship bound for Mars that had to jettison its engines but because they were at full speed they just kept going...

I was kind of haunted by it for a few days. The ship used algae for oxygen, and when the food ran out they started processing it for food. As in, that's all they lived on... Eventually half the crew and passengers committed suicide, and the whole time they were telling people that they were going to find a planet and do a gravity slingshot and head back...

The movie ends with the ship passing a planet...24,000 years later, as a ghost ship. There are some other interesting odd bits about an A.I. that commits suicide, and how most of the people that survived went blind anyway. It's a fascinating downward spiral.



Hell of a flick, thanks for the tip. Yeah, I was in a bit of a gray mood after watching it.
Well done and acted (her bunkmate was a hoot, and her partner was also impressive) and the concept was very cool. Of course, I (all of us?) knew exactly what was going to happen to Amira. Humanity's slow death by it's own hands/dumb-assery? Gee, sounds familiar doesn't it?

Aniara is a science fiction poem written by Swedish Nobel laureate Harry Martinson in 1956. Martinson came up with the word Aniara while reading astronomer Arthur Eddington. Theodore Sturgeon, reviewing a 1964 American edition of Aniara for a genre audience, declared that "Martinson's achievement here is an inexpressible, immeasurable sadness. It transcends panic and terror and even despair and leaves you in the quiet immensities, with the feeling that you have spent time, and have been permanently tinted, by and with an impersonal larger-than-God force."

In December 2019 the extrasolar planet HD 102956 b was named after a character aboard the spacecraft, the pilot Isagel. The exoplanet's star was named Aniara.

Free Download of the poem, Aniara, translated in 1999 at https://libgen.unblockit.id/search.php?req=Aniara

Or there is bittorrent of both the 1999 and 1963 English translations of Aniara. I prefer the 1963 version.

His most famous work, ANIARA: A REVIEW OF MAN IN TIME AND SPACE (1956), is an epic poetic cycle that relates the story of a luxurious space ship, loaded with 8,000 evacuees, fleeing an Earth made uninhabitable by human technological arrogance. A malfunction knocks the craft off course, taking these would-be Mars colonists on an irreversible journey into deep space and an existential struggle. Theodore Sturgeon declared that the poem achieved "an inexpressible, immeasurable sadness. [It] transcends panic and terror and even despair [and] leaves you in the quiet immensities, with the feeling that you have spent time, and have been permanently tinted, by and with an impersonal larger-than-God force." It has been translated into many languages, adapted into a popular avant-garde opera, and made into a 2018 Swedish feature film.

"Republicans Bad! Orange Man Bad! #SaveTheEnvironment"

posted from my iPhone that was created by one of the largest multi-national corporations the world has ever known, guilty of severe human rights abuses and a leader in global pollution that is done a half a world away so I don't have to choke on the fumes.

What wouldn't you give to get all the idiots transferred to another another doom ship?

I watched another apocalyptic movie on HULU that was much worse. It had Tim Daly from Wings and he was just a horrid bigot who couldn't stop railing at people's life choices even in the face of the end of the world. I would not recommend watching that one. I think it was After Daylight.

Looks like a dude to me.

Also looked like a dude to Sony, which is why it was uncensored sex.

Sony makes a point of censoring out boobs in all of their games when they come to the US. All of them.

Except for that dude's flat chest.
