Too many kittens!

(There are never too many.)

@zombiegenesis

The other problem is that those two examples aren’t from the same source material.

The new release planned by Netflix looks and feels very different than their She-Ra reboot, and those two lines were interwoven in the past. Thundercats, which is a Rankin-Bass IP (like the classic racist Christmas specials), would probably better fit with Silverhawks and Tiger Sharks, and the newest incarnations have a world very different from Eternia and Etheria.

"The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design." -- Friedrich Hayek

Ah, yes, Hayek: the thinker that Keynes fucked up in a letter so badly that he abandoned the study of economics and took up political philosophy.

In the beginning of the evening: "You know, I really miss playing a vampire; I'm going to read through the V20 books and splats and think about a character."

By the end of the evening: "Fuck that, Hilda is so awesome, no, I want a fucking changeling or mage or something I don't know, fuck, there needs to be a system for this universe."

staaaahhhhp.

(No, don't stop.)

@wizz said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

I guess to clarify, like is there anything that would be considered unreasonable in a contract like that that wouldn't be immediately obvious?

Of course. Infinitely so. But if you follow the plain language of the contract, you should be okay.

Remember: you are not responsible for how others interpret the contract.

@wizz

If you're working on a documentary, chances are that the purpose of the NDA is to prevent you from talking to others, particularly the media, about the content and release dates.

Pretty standard in the documentary industry, really.

@derp @Ominous

Thanks for ruining my joke, you guys.

If you spend time on social media, you fucking know better.

@ominous said in RL Anger:

We already know that you're a glorious catbot attorney rather than a feeble human being stricken with our insatiable and undeniable love of fried chicken and watermelons.

@ominous

Watermelon is fucking gross.

And most people don’t season or prepare their chicken well before frying, so it ends up tasting bland and too oily.

And should be run by professionals. Not Dave that got a good deal on 'fireworks' from the next county over.

I nearly ran over two kids and two adults setting off fireworks in the middle of my fucking suburban street, with about two dozen onlookers staring at me as if I was the asshole.

Look, dipshits, I will run you and your fucking children over in my black Lexus if you stand or sit in the middle of the street after the sun goes down.

@tinuviel

We like to pimp our cars out with subwoofers and rims, but get called “ricebois” for it.

@jennkryst

But it’s doable.

I mean, I know you can do ship-to-ship fighting in FS3/Ares. Shouldn’t be too difficult to modify. It won’t be the same system, maybe, but BTech is mostly awesome based on load outs and universe building.

Meanwhile, I still don’t understand why the fuck white people love fireworks so much for any occasion or reason.

I mean compare Loki to Superman & Lois, even though it's easy to argue Superman is a far more important property for DC than Loki is for Marvel.
