You don't have to worry about a thing. The Meth Gators are too paranoid to come out of the sewers or onto shore.

May have posted this before. Anyone try it?

Yet still another reason to pay in cash.

I visited Mexico City last year, and got Montezuma's revenge just after getting home. Not sure why there was a delay, but glad there was, because it could have been yet more unpleasant on an airplane.

You do have to admit it was a free upgrade.

I call bullshit.

Because if this was really patented, Disney would have bought it and bribed Congress to extend it for 200 years.

Corn viagra. Of course it's smut.

Dunno why, but this made me laugh

Two Generations:

Snowflake Milley films herself being quirky at the IHOP. Zoomer chick looks on with disgust, "What a Quirk Chungus Attention Whore".

It's really strange to me that there are people that think animals don't have some sort of intelligence and autonomy in them. They aren't machines. There was no advantage to approaching the diver, but it did. You could argue it's a defect in its programming, like when a person approaches a bison in Yosemite Park. Is this a defect in our programming, or is this is a soul trying to connect?

I'm past my peak. At 30, I could avoid anything, not now at 50+. As this animal ages, it will be killed by the same type of animal it narrowly escaped. I should be dead, 20 years ago. We are not meant to die of old age, we are designed to be killed by another species at some point. That's the real "natural death".

You get the same effect by looking away or blinking rapidly. In fact, as I write this I'm looking away, and I can see the image.

AI is our doom.

If you just look at the pic, you see a car in the background with a very strange wheel configuration.

Question is, who are the gate keepers. Most of them engage in stolid misdirection and the real gates are only opened for the so called elites. The rest of us rely on triangulation, projected logic, induction and deduction.
The elites hate that amongst the non bloodline peasants, there are those who can remote view them entirely as they are, in their fetid clouds of predation. The 'elites' try to kill or deceive as many of those as possible, but it is impossible to get them all.

I can fix her!

This was the subject of several Alt History SF novels after the 1997 book "Guns, Germs and Steel" debuted. Food for thought, indeed.

If there was no contact with the "new world", they would have remained in a non technological society until Europe entered as a technological society. Almost all modern advancements like radio, light bulbs (those made vacuum tubes possible), electricity, internal combustion engines, the IC circuit - that was almost all done by Europeans and were all made by European culture.

The reason we ended up with all this technological innovation is because we entered the new world. Now free of church dogma, people were allowed to explore and investigate new ideas instead of being burned at the stake if it was "heresy".

Interesting theory. Sub-Saharan Africa that never developed out of the stone age had women running around with their boobs out. Same for Aboriginies, Injuns, and Mokes. Europe, on the other hand, created the Industrial Revolution during the era of prude. Even the Arabs and Turks had an advanced society during the peak of boob hiding Islam.

I do think the need for men to prove themselves to get sex has been an important driver of civilization.

Slutty women, prostitutes, and gayness all undermine civilization by undermining men's motive to accomplish.
