"I don't "gay pay" my taxes." Oh, hell, I could picture some tonedeaf local government trying to introduce a "gay tax" applicable to same-sex couples living in the state. Guys be getting real quiet about their husbands when the state tries to make them "pay the gay away." ~L~

Play this card when it is not the right time to talk about gun control. ~L~

Indeed, I hope your mum recovers quickly and is not left with any lingering side-effects. My boss tested positive last week, after managing to avoid catching Covid throughout this entire pandemic. I hear he's having a pretty rough go of it, so that's not good for him. ~L~

Those poor souls. Sooner or later everybody finds themselves in the position of working under somebody less intelligent than they are and is given bad instructions. The only thing you can do in that situation is hope following those instructions doesn't cost you something important, like your...

Putin has jammed himself up in an unsolvable Sunk Cost Fallacy. He cannot win this war he's started, he just doesn't have the competence or the resources to accomplish his objective. He will not concede defeat, whether it is because he truly believes what he has done is right or because he is...

I asked the same question, pretty much verbatim, when my boss discussed this with me yesterday. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/putin-says-russian-gas-must-be-paid-roubles-friday-2022-03-31/ Russia supplies about a third of Europe's gas, so if that flow is halted Europe will be facing...

The second link Nevermore attached, the article on Forbes.com, tells you everything you need to know about this story under the "Key Background" heading. Any information Levada puts out regarding Putin's approval rating can automatically be filed as "bunk." As the kids used to say, "well...

Yes, those 83% of Russians who approve of Special Military Operation approve so strongly nobody even needs to ask their opinion, the State just knows. ~L~ Also, there is a 17% margin for error, so the approval rating might be higher than reported.

This has been rattling around in my head since I first read your post early this morning. Really curled my hair. I don't really know why this particular event shocked me so much, amidst a daily stream of shocking reports from this war, maybe it's just the brazenness of marching across land so...

Nice! Two proud members of the open chest pew-pew robot club. ~L~

You're right, being written by Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz counts for something. It's not just being churned out by some shmoe, it's being written by the same writing duo who gave us the first 100 issues of the IDW comics run. I think this might be more of a "me" problem, maybe I feel a kind of...

*also Googles* Wow, their Shredder is everything I wanted in a Shredder figure when I was eight. That's pretty nice looking. ~L~

I'm definitely going to need to go back to the beginning. I read the first three as they came out and... well, honestly, it's just alright. I feel like this would've blown the doors off an airplane hanger if this were the next Turtles book published by Eastman and Laird after Mirage issue 11...

Autopilot: "I've calculated your chance of survival, but I don't think you'll like it." ~L~

Ah, yes, just like the Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B. ~L~ Don't panic.

I've seen you float this possibility before. Do you really think it is more effective, strategically, to use your armies as cannon fodder and burn through limited resources to spin a narrative that your military are a bumbling "Keystone Cops"-type, rather than present your forces as efficient...

DC Comics new reboot of The Gay Ghost is nearly unrecognisable compared to the 1940's original. ~L~

"I wonder if this "House of Poutine" is any relation?" "Unlikely, sir, they spell and pronounce their names differently." "Bah! I'll insult and threaten the staff until they tell me themselves!" ~L~

You've really got me struggling to nail down my ideal multiverse Turtles team. I have favourites, but it's really hard to make a balanced team from different iterations. The biggest trouble is, unless a series goes out of it's way to highlight a Turtle in solo adventures, I tend to focus more...

My comment on Rise was very much in the subjective. I could've done more to make that clearer, but I really wasn't concentrating on that. It's good that Rise did what it was supposed to, for you. I tried to get into it, but I just didn't enjoy the experience. And life is too short, and goes by...
