Supporting people like Crockett who are not quietly letting this go. After all, it is their job as a representative to represent those of us who give a shit.

Back to you.

She's doing her job. She's one representative out of a huge number, most who are supporting Trump, so she's being vocal about it. What else do you want her to do? What are you doing?

Maybe the orange color happened to coincide with the patterns that worked best. Had their prey been able to see the orange tint it would have worked against the tiger, but since they can't it was allowed to flourish with that pattern. If true at all, it's a bit of a dead end since a mutation for the prey to begin seeing orange means tigers have narrowed into that pattern dependent on the color.

I haven't seen the sequel to it yet, and sort of was fine leaving it open-ended. I can see how there are dark parts to that episode, mainly from sticking with Dark Mirror's premise that tech can be used badly. It also paints a not-so-great picture of the real people, hero worship, maybe the gaming industry? The sim copies seem to make out the best of anyone. Definitely a favorite, if I'd rate it on dark vs. positive, it's 8/10 positive, whereas San Junipero was a 10/10 in the end. Actually San was a 9/10, as it did show that some used the tech there as escape and didn't grow like the main characters finally did.

This felt like reading about someone who complains that The Daily Show doesn't have enough positive news stories on it. Dark Mirror fills a niche that people look for, it's not something that making people think a certain way.

And no mention at all of San Junipero. I guess that would break selling it as pessimism porn when there's examples otherwise.

Attractiveness standards vary of course, so Fox News has certain criteria that they think appeal to their typical viewers.

Other officials commented it was the dumbest idea they'd ever heard.

There was suggestions of also using some cybertrucks in the parade to honor Elon Musk, but that was nixed for fear of them breaking down, losing parts, or catching fire along the route.

"I love this "Make America Great Again" thing and I'm going to overuse it for every damn thing I can. The slogan, I'm not to actually do anything constructive."

Right? It's the biggest circus of all. Do you really want all those clowns looking for something else to do?

This goes hand in hand with a recent Zach Star video on the same premise.
