As I understand it, that's what the Texas statute allows for their anti-abortion law; anyone can sue even if they do not have any connection to anyone else involved, and they can sue anyone in the chain (the doctor, the person who drove them their, the person receiving the abortion, the person who gave them money to get the abortion)

I'm still mad they didn't return that voice for SR4.

And Magic Knight Rayearth which I seem to remember had a positive reception back in the day. I remember playing the Saturn game that Working Designs translated, but at this point can't remember a whole lot else about it other than I think it was based on the first season of the tv anime.

Oh that reminds me: Birthright pt 1, TNG Worf is an idiot. Why did Bashier need to sneak on the Enterprise to use their equipment? I don't remember his character that well from DS9, but my memory of the first season was that he wasn't... the bold 'I'ma gonna sneak on yer ship and fiddle wid yer equipment" type. Could be wrong of course as I haven't seen an episode of DS9 since they first aired. Why in an episode that could have really highlighted the skills and benefits of a counselor is Troi barely in it and when she is she kind of treats Worf unsympathetically? Why does Data go to Worf and not Troi for advice? Yes I know it sets up Worf's revelations of what he needs to do, but there doesn't seem a reason other than plot expediency. Why does the security chief of the Enterprise not seem to recognize that the situation he finds himself in at the end of the episode is not as he'd been told and change his plans? Because he's an idiot, see first statement. Also Data gets an upgrade, I guess.

Soooo close!

Yeah wasps are a downer. My dad got stung by one a few weeks back at his feeder, and ended up having a bad reaction to it (he's okay now). -
Apostrophe sounds right. Actually that spelling looks right too. I've never got into social media, which is I guess kinda weird. I've lost touch with a few friends because they went social media only (not entirely, but I can only read what they post now on their public pages.)

That's an incredibly huge stretch that ignores the fact people might just get tired of ads touting 'Pumpkin Spice' in everything. Also I find interesting the declaration that it is only women who eat/drink pumpkin spice flavored things. Is that true? Is there research indicating men do not eat or drink pumpkin spice things ever? (the world of coffee escapes me, so I dunno what's going on).

Isn't the other ship the JS Makami, the Maritime Japanese Self-Defense Forces ship? Which would make the flag the Maritime Self-Defense Force flag (with an offset sun, not sun in the center like the Imperial Rising sun flag). They're also flying the US courtesy flag, implying they're in US waters. Since Japan is currently a US ally...what am I missing?

Wow, Citybuster's a name I haven't thought of in years. Mozex as well. Was Alla something like Alla Dety (I kept wanting to read it like Alla Diety, but it wasn't that) or am I thinking of a different Alla...?

Welcome back then?

I want permadeath, but only for Wolverine. Like Khalid in BG, he'd mysteriously wander out into a rampaging horde and...be gone. No clue if the game will be good, but will be particularly interested if we get some deep cuts from the Marvel mystic side.

Yersinia pestis the primary suspect* for the Black Death (and responsible for Bubonic Plague, Septicemic Plague and Pneumonic Plague) is transmitted by fleas between carriers; an infected rat would come into human inhabitations, the fleas on the rat would also bite humans and in doing so inject them with the bacteria, infecting them. Thus the disease would spread between rat and human - and also camels, chickens and pigs and several other animals. *I know there's still some debate about the actual nature of the plague.

@majestic @Fionavar is probably the best person to approach; I'm assuming (which may be wrong) that the censor filter is Obsidian admin's area of control

I got rid of my mattress last year, but that's because springs were poking out of it, and it had become deucedly difficult to sleep on. -

You know I forgot about fishing. Tells you how long it has been since I went fishing (ie I was a kid, fishing off a bank, and mostly caught trees). -
If you're referring to the SR3 trailer, red scarf was Phillipe Loren, head of the Syndicate and the Morningstars. I think shades and checked-vest dude who jumps over the rails at 1:21 or so and gets saved by Johnny Gat was supposed to be the Boss in the trailer (#notmysaintsboss). I'm pretty sure that the Boss in the reboot trailer is the woman with the missile launcher. That would make bow-tie guy Eli, shirtless dude Kevin and the driver Neenah from the four Saints founders (this time around). I have high hopes for this!
-
I dunno, I didn't mind the trailer, other than my caveat that I think the southwest is overdone as a video game location. I didn't think the character seemed too jerky. But I think SR-IV really didn't leave them anywhere to go for an SR-V. From what I understand, Agents of Mayhem wasn't very well received. So I'm not against starting a new SR story somewhere else.

So, from my perspective one of the big issues with the current events is that they broadcast what they were going to do and set hard deadlines to do it, so you think its a good idea for the President to...continue to broadcast their plans to the media? He'd ignored the question once - maybe he should just leave the room? Alrighty then. To me this was a reporter taking an opportunity (at a press conference on Cybersecurity, not Afghanastain) to try and get a gotcha question in. He knew Biden either wouldn't or couldn't answer, and anything Biden did could be made to make him look bad. He leaves - he looks bad, he makes a vague statement he's waffling, he shuts down the question with a flip answer he's President Satan. Frankly Biden looks bad enough without help, and in my opinion this is a lot of ado about nothing. The last idiot just stopped having press conferences. Heck this doesn't even rate - for me at least - near Hilary Clinton's Benghazi "they're dead, get over it"* moment. *paraphrased.
