$100k is about the average household income in the US, the average single income is about $67k. So about a year and a half of the average wage. And median income is much lower (median household income is about $44k) indicating that high income households have a much larger effect on the average than low income households so the average middle class individual income should also be much lower than the average individual income.
Badgers! Badgers! We don’t need no stinkin’ badgers!
I want somebody to make make the movies from the fake trailers. We really need a full length Zinc Oxide and You in the same style as Reefer Madness.
If I were in the friend’s position I doubt I would have gotten a close enough look to differentiate. The autopsy said the victim had “multiple chop wounds” including to the skull so it was probably a machete or ax attack. With lots of long deep wounds and blood there wasn’t much chance he was alive when the friend found him so it’s plausible that the friend didn’t actually go into the campsite, just saw the blood and assumed it was a bear because what other animal could do that much damage.
William Clifford might call it a problem of credulity and he might even have an idea about one of it’s root causes.
The Satanic Temple supports it’s trans members using the same basis as it’s stance on abortion. There are 7 fundamental tenets of Satanism. The third states that “One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.” and the fifth is “Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.” Based on these tenets it is the religious stance of TST that trans individuals have a fundamental religious right to decide what happens to their body and a religious obligation to reject unscientific claims and “treatments” with regard to their gender identity.
The effort is underway. Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic is a Satanic abortion clinic in New Mexico that offers teleheath consultations and medication abortion through the mail.
Plague Inc - control a plague and try to kill all humans on earth (tactical simulation)
Interstellar Pilot and Interstellar Pilot 2 - human explorers jumped through a wormhole to distant space and lost contact with earth. Factions control different sectors, some are friendly some are warring. You start with a single ship and try to do anything between simple survival and building a new faction to conquer all of this new space. (Open world rpg with tactical simulation elements)
Battlecruisers - The machines won, humanity is no more. You are not the smartest robot and somehow you managed to accidentally hijack a military battlecruiser. You are pursued across the world’s oceans by several navies while you try to figure out how to get out of the mess you created. (shipbuilder)
There are lots of special considerations for a legal standpoint concerning Native Americans because technically they compromise several semi-sovereign nations within the US’s borders. Some of the treaties the US signed with them during westward expansion are still enforceable.
Sorority House Massacre 2 is one of my absolute favorite films. The final line in the film is my favorite in all of cinema.
After that I’m a big fan of Pam Grier and enjoy most of her movies but I think Coffy is my favorite.
Every Troma movie is worth watching. Toxie is a great superhero and we really need a crossover. Toxie should be in the Justice League, he’s already an Avenger! The Class of Nukem High movies are standouts but I think Surf Nazis Must Die is probably my favorite Troma movie.
Edit to add: Death Proof was good but I preferred Planet Terror. To be fair though I’ve never seen a movie by either Tarentio or Rodriguez that I didn’t enjoy.
Not to be that guy but I’m still complaining about the silent space scene. The Last Jedi was the 10th movie in the franchise (12th if you count the animated movies and 13th if you count the made for tv Ewok movie) and it was the first time there was no roar of engines, no sounds of weapons fire, the sound effect of jumping to hyperspace didn’t even play. Star Wars isn’t 2001. It’s not set in our universe. In the Star Wars universe sound waves travel through space.
The people who most benefit from DNA ancestry are people who want to know where they came from but documentation is scarce or non-existent. In the US that group is primarily composed of the descendents of slaves. It can also help people descendent of native groups who only know that they are from some native people of North America identity a particular tribe.
Coverups come to light eventually. Remember the outrage when it was revealed that President Bartlett had MS? Some presidents like Reagan or FDR get lucky and it doesn’t come out until they’ve left office.

Got any interest in spoliation films?
Scream Blacula Scream Some regard this as the worst blaxploitation movie. Considering the genre consist primarily of low budget movies with very short filming schedules that’s a fairly damning indictment but I think it can be enjoyed for what it is if you have an interest in this type of cinema.
The A-10 is vulnerable to AA and to fighters, that’s why establishing F-16 patrols first is important. I’d also prefer that the A-10s either be escorted by or fly in mixed formations with Ukraine’s Soviet era fighters.
Once they use those F-16s to establish air dominance someone needs to give them a few A-10s to help them speed up retaking their territory.
Yes, I edited my comment to fix the spelling. Thanks for letting me know about the error.
Is it bad that I get most of my non-local news from foreign sources? I do look at the AP and NPR but I usually go to the BBC or Reuters first and I almost always check the CSM for international stories I want more information on.
