Their response to all of the ridiculous things going on in our country right now is, “Why should I care about it? It’s not affecting me.”


Right up to the point where they or a loved one of theirs is a victim and then it's all "why is this happening!??! :wah:"

Cause.
Effect.

This likely would have ended peacefully had Ol' Tatty not jumped in. Green shirt shouldn't have laid his hands on her, but then she should have kept out of it as well.
You don't attack to get your enemy to negotiate, you attack to get your enemy to surrender.
After what they've done to LOTR and WoT, this is probably a dodged bullet for Stargate.

If Apple picks up the series, you know it's likely to be good.
How far does this go?

For instance, does it shut down charities giving clothes or food to illegals? What if it's using its resources to house them or move them around the country? Does it penalize property owners if the federal government is still subsidizing the illegals? Or a state? Or a city? Does it penalize businesses hiring illegals?

This is only going to get worse if cooler heads don’t prevail


The prevalence of "cooler heads" is what led to Nowak's death in the first place. "Cooler heads" say "go along to get along" or "it's not all of them" to avoid doing anything to address the core issue of incompatible cultures being actively encouraged to come in and then being preferred by the ruling class who do not have to deal with these incompatibles.

Something I haven't seen discussed, why did they decide to sew up Roger (the extra that the dolls killed) to look as much like one of these scary looking dolls as possible? Feels like he's gotta resurrect as a doll


I took it as either something the dolls did off-camera or an after-effect of being killed by a doll. His being on top of the wires so Jade could freak out over his sewings definitely made me think he'll come back as a doll at some point.
Holy shite! That's got to be in the Top 5 of Pratt's ads (and it's already an impressive list)! :bow: :bow: :bow:

Linking it again in case people just glossed over it. It's really worth the 40 seconds of your time.

What I find interesting about that is they are essentially trying to combat what they see as the style of Nazi Germany with the style of the Soviet Union and think they are somehow morally superior for doing so.

What are we thinking about the whole MiY/Sophia blood in the drink thing?


He's already on a frayed rope and his drinking is making it worse. I think the blood is to push him further into irrationality. Here's a possible scenario...

The blood-water makes him pass out.
He wakes up to find out she is accusing him of trying to rape her (she may even cut/bruise herself up a bit for more believability).
This creates a lot of drama because he lives with Victor in Colony House, where the majority of folks seem to also live.
It's nighttime when they confront him. He gets into a heated exchange, even with Victor. The blood causes him to be irrational so he gets so irate he leaves and takes the talisman with him.
Enter the massacre.

Thanks for linking that!

-I12 needs to be at least 3-laned in both directions for its entire length
-We need at least an extra lane from the 10/12 to Range. Hell, even auxiliary lanes from the Airline to O'Neal would help.
-Get rid of the clover leaves at Airline and I55. Airline's traffic has to be far outside it's capacity and the short entrance lanes coming onto 12W from 55S and 12E from 55N are deathtraps.

The assessed value of my property increases so the property tax goes up with it.

But I haven’t sold the property and don’t plan to sell so I assume I am being taxed on unrealized gains?


In essence, yes. The federal government cannot levy any sort of tax on unrealized gains due to the Constitution. States, however, have more leeway based on their own laws (thus states can levy property taxes). To that point, I don't know of any states which specifically allow taxing unrealized gains (outside of real estate) but several have had legislation proposed to do so (none have yet passed).

Nah, I just found the topic interesting enough for a quick comment. If I cared, it would have been a dissertation.
