Cat Owners Try Cat Food

Fairbs says...

I feel bad that my cat has to eat the same food pretty much his entire life, but he sure seems to get excited about it around dinner time and if I switch it up on him he gets the shits so there's that

Jeopardy! First Tiebreaker Ever After 37 seasons

Fairbs says...

The only tie I remember was a guy that could have won had he bet more. He chose to get the tie because it was his last day on the show. I think at that time, you could only win 5 times and then you were retired. The person he tied with came back the next day.

It's the Malazan book of the Fallen, a series of books actually.

It's a fantasy series with magic and gods, but it gives a more accurate and unflinching look at human history than any history textbook ever has. It gives a very personal look at soldiers on all sides of wars being waged and the brutal choices forced upon them in very cruel world. Another quote from the series summarizes what sticks with me the most:
"The harder the world, the fiercer the honour."

It's the difference between heroic acts demonstrating actual sacrifices, versus hero's 'risking' dangers that we know will never harm them.

Blade Runner 2049: Most Complicated Sex Scene of All Time

Fairbs says...

I thought it felt tacked on; I think artistically or symbolically it had significance, but I don't think it added much for me; maybe it could have been part of an extended version for the hard core Blade Runner people

Jinx said:

Quite possibly.

Interestingly the people I went to see it with thought the film would have been better without Joi... personally I would have missed it, if not for anything else then for this scene alone.

what is your favorite book? I'm guessing Hemmingway

My favourite book quotes war as being most simply described as:
"Children are dying"

And as you say, when Trump had his chance he ducked, dodged and weaved every which way out of being drafted.

what do you mean by lives in the dark; what ideas are foolish and wrong? how is society being torn down? I'd like to respond to your comment, but it's not clear what you're talking about specifically

You and the liberal left are the joke. Well not the joke. You side is not funny at all.. You believe you side are the enlightened ones.

But rather you side lives in the dark. Liberals are foolish and wrong in their progressive ideas. These ideas only server to demoralize/ tear down/ destroy society.

Sadly you are so deep in the dark that you don't see it.
