Yes, exactly. I lived in a collapsing society as a child and mostly life goes on, it just gets harder and there are less luxuries.

I really like my water pillow.

The problem I have with the concept of a conscious soul that survives my death is the question what version of me survives. If it’s the version I was when I died, the younger versions of me still stay dead. If it’s an ideal younger version of me, the older version still died. In fact, the soul would always only be a part of me since it lacks the biochemical processes of the body. So it would be another entity possessing my memories but it wouldn’t be me, I’d still be dead.

Reminds me of that South Park episode.

“Hey, poor people, we have the cure for Parkinson’s, it’s gold! Hurray!”

Telekinesis. I just lift a cushion I’m sitting on and I also have flight.

Mistborn by Brandan Sanderson.

Conan O’Brien. He’s just effortlessly funny, especially when he’s just riffing with Sona and Matt on “Conan O’Brien needs a friend”.

Because they will eat our flesh?

It’s in plants too unfortunately.

He looks like he’s in great shape though. It’s crazy that Martin Short is the younger of the two (by five years).

“May you live in interesting times.”

He’s probably also into that.

I thought superheroes were real and all lived in New York. To be fair, it was my only contact with Western culture.

Also the Sabine War and The War of the Sicilian Vespers. Maybe the Harem Conspiracy too although that was mostly women fighting each other.

In the movies I would say when Worf went into Klingon puberty in Star Trek: Insurrection and got a giant pimple in his face that everybody was making fun of.

As great as it is, you could tell they had to cramp two season’s worth of story into the second season so that it felt very rushed and important side characters died off screen. And then of course the sets burned down ironically, making any continuation impossible.

What do you mean, Jumanji is just… 28… years… old. Wtf?!

He has pretty much always been almost a caricature of a horrible boss.

Well, if the animal drives everywhere instead of walking, we might see a deformation of the hips.

Yeah, the way a brachiosaurus’ skull is shaped, it’s possible it had a trunk but that wouldn’t have fossilized since it’s all muscle and skin.
