If you ignore all the sinkings of ro-ro ferries...

I was about to say, all those third world countries in Africa and South America are looking to do wind, solar, etc because it's cheap and independent, rather than relying on coal or gas from other nations.

Well of course, first you invent the ansible.

It already is. Trump's lackeys already went waving paper to Congress to get them to figure out legal wording to bypass the 14th without another Amendment. I expect we'll see that sometime around November or December.

To be entirely fair, then, this happened to me. It's how I discovered being nonbinary.

American law continues to be built on "oh we forgot to make that a law" and "oh we didn't think that would matter".

Neither would Marco Rubio, or Ted Cruz IIRC.

Yeah, even a coordinated attack on physical networking backbones wouldn't be TOO rough. We'd have to piece together what's left and figure out what to replace, but there's enough worldwide structure that we can do that in a pretty coordinated manner even without the Internet - it would probably just take a lot longer. I feel that a lot of the West would be the worst off, but surprisingly, a lot of governments already have plans for stuff like this. I feel even with incompetence, you'd be looking at 2-3 years max, but I don't think you'd see Purge-style societal collapse or whatever you're envisioning.

Yes. The terrible "doctor" has ingratiated himself with the administration for a while, actually having his fucking film crew accompanying ICE raids in Chicago which then aired on his show.

My dad and I make a point to watch Buckaroo Banzai at least once a year. Great movie.

But why do hot dogs come in packs of 6 and buns come in packs of 8?

It's fantastic. They didn't bother to make it "relatable" or "more realistic", just "we're literally doing, shot for shot, the anime as a movie, and fuck you if you don't like it". It's shameless, joyful fun the entire way, and honestly more movies should embrace the camp and just run with it.
