Well in that case, you need an hdmi cable. I would say that would be a good investment. -
Its great to do in public.

You know what? I like pronouncing those things like theyre spelled. If you emphasize and enunciate the letters right you get pretty much exactly the right sound. pHHhonics Enoug-hhhh You get the idea.

Just think of it like this: You had the blu ray for Up and you threw it last night.

Why would you buy a cable you dont need? That would be like buying a spare power cord. You should buy something fun and whimsical. -
You know, a burner phone you can toss quick if the feds come around?

Ghostrek i need you to do a few lines for my fanfiction as i wouldnt feel as comfortable writing diologue for you and feel you would do a much better job representing yourself. Its only like 3-5 sentences, essentially i will give you the prompt, you give me your reply, and i put it in the fanfiction. It will be fun.

So theres this guy where i work who is terrible at his job, and every time you try to help him along or suggest how to do something correctly he always shifts the blame: "oh, that wasnt me" and "nobody gives me feedback so i dont know if what im doing is right." So yesterday one of the guys who knows what hes doing goes over there and tells him where things should be going. Well, he goes to a different leader and claims he is being harassed. -
I think the problem here might not be the content, but the fact that the "obscure, lesser know, and indie" is now in the mainstream, so of course it has high ratings and many fans. You can't say it isn't intellectual and creative. It has a well built and deep narrative of well-acted dialogue that speaks with both absurdist and dark humor. It is highly overrated because it's impossible for anything "this big" not to be. But it is really really good.

Rick and Morty is good.

I haven't watched network TV by choice in years, but I'm always down to throw some squidbillies on the ol' hulu or pop in some VB DVDs. Also my latest X-Men fanfiction is about me dragging the X-Men through the various worlds of [as]. So that's cool.

I was watching an exciting video on the Cambrian explosion and the great dying. It was pretty cool. -
From snopes, higher up on the page- "historians (notably Robin Blackburn, author of The Overthrow of Colonial Slavery, 1776-1848, and Alan Taylor, author of “American Blacks in the War of 1812”), who have indeed read the stanza as glorying in the Americans’ defeat of the Corps of Colonial Marines, one of two units of black slaves recruited between 1808 and 1816 to fight for the British on the promise of gaining their freedom. Like so many of his compatriots, Francis Scott Key, the wealthy American lawyer who wrote “The Star Spangled Banner” in the wake of the Battle of Fort McHenry on 14 September 1814, was a slaveholder who believed blacks to be “a distinct and inferior race of people, which all experience proves to be the greatest evil that afflicts a community.” It goes without saying that Key did not have the enslaved black population of America in mind when he penned the words “land of the free.” It would be logical to assume, as well, that he might have harbored a special resentment toward African Americans who fought against the United States on behalf of the King." [...] "After the U.S. and the British signed a peace treaty at the end of 1814, the U.S. government demanded the return of American “property,” which by that point numbered about 6,000 people. The British refused. Most of the 6,000 eventually settled in Canada, with some going to Trinidad, where their descendants are still known as “Merikins.”"
