Comrade Donald Jong Trump!
This is obviously the way to bring true peace and understanding between the US and the DPRK — make us exactly like them.

  [ooc] Dropped on the Cutting-Room Floor: "He reminds me of my sempai..."
Posted by: robkelk - 06-13-2017, 03:31 AM - Forum: The Attic - Replies (8)

I considered these ideas for advancing the plot while giving Sailor Jupiter an extremely poor choice of love interests... and thought better of them, and the entire subplot. But, hey - waste not, want not.



"He reminds me of my sempai..."

"Who reminds you of your sempai, Mako-chan?"

"The new transfer student, Ryouga Hibiki."

(Because Ranma/Sailormoon crossovers have been done to death - even I wrote one back in the day)


...
"The new transfer student, Kaworu Nagisa."

(I don't think I could be sufficiently evil while writing this.)


...
"The new transfer student, Amano Jyaku."

(No. Just no.)

  Ya gotta love the names given to bills
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 06-12-2017, 09:40 PM - Forum: Politics and Other Fun - Replies (1)

Representative Mike Quigley (D.-Ill) has just introduced a bill that will classify presidential social media posts — including President Trump's tweets — as official presidential records.

It's entitled the Communications Over Various Feeds Electronically for Engagement (COVFEFE) Act.

  [OOC] Who's still here?
Posted by: robkelk - 06-12-2017, 02:03 PM - Forum: The Attic - Replies (22)

I've been being a team player lately, writing only in corners where what I do isn't going to have too much impact on whatever the other writers have planned.

But that begs the question: Are there any other writers left, or is it just me and BA?

Because if I don't need to take into account other people's plans when I write, then I have a much wider canvas and can start pushing the main story forward.

So... Who's still here?

i’m coming up with a lot backstories of someone trying to avenge their journal by going full darkside and committing their life to hunting down and slowly killing who/whatever destroyed it… was there an actual intended way for a peaceful birdwatching trip to get that far out of hand?

Whomever destroyed that bird journal is obviously working for the dark side, and, therefore, any effort to destroy such evil is justified.

  Sometimes, do nothing might be the best option.
Posted by: Dartz - 06-05-2017, 02:18 PM - Forum: Politics and Other Fun - Replies (1)

When I realised nothing would truly be achieved to stop it, I stopped caring. You might try on an individual level, but ultimately, it'll all damp-squib out. The world doesn't really want to do anythin - just offer platitudes and hollow promises and accords.

Maybe that's the best option.

Don't mean just keep burning the shit out of coal and oil until the planet cooks. It'll all run out, eventually. Alternative sources of energy are a Good Thing in an of themselves, without worrying about Carbon, simply because oil prices are so volatile. It's far better to make a commercial argument, than an environmental one - especially to those with their eyes on short term profits to keep shareholders happy. Really, it seems like the best way to succeed is to assume disaster will be allowed to happen by those who can stop it, and figure out how to deal with the aftermath.

What's a hotter world going to be like? Maybe we'd be better off focusing our energies on dealing with that, rather than trying to stop the train we've just accelerated. Everyone agrees stopping it's a good idea, but nobody really wants to pull on the brakes until it's long past the time the train can ever be stopped. That's human nature. Are we past that tippin point.... probably not, but close enough to it that we might as well be. Meanwhile, alternative energies are still coming on stream, so we're already slowing the train down just as a natural byproduct of this, so we're not barrelling headon into thing and coming to a crashing halt.

The world's going to be warmer. It has been in the past. Right, lets figure out how to deal with that. Let's fight the next war and win that, rather than the one we've always lost.

If that sounds pessimistic. It's not. There'll be a lot of challenges caused by a warming world. But potentially, new opportunities aswell for those who know where to look for them.

  Goodbye, Paris
Posted by: DHBirr - 06-01-2017, 10:13 PM - Forum: Politics and Other Fun - Replies (24)

Well, now the President decrees Yes, he IS pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement.  
The article explains there are reasons it won't be quite that easy; according to one framework, he wouldn't be able to legally start shutting down U.S. cooperation until late 2020 (by which time we may hope he's been thrown out).  Still, the United States now has more in common on this issue with Syria than with any other country.
According to another article I saw, Exxon/Mobil, BP, and Shell — the petroleum companies, for Heaven's sake — recommended staying in the Agreement.  Instead, the President chose to go with the opinion of Steve Bannon, who isn't openly and officially an American Nazi.

I'm really freakin' tired of this sort of "winning."
