What I usually love about musicals is the variety of songs and subject matters, and with the exception of the Klingon song, the songs all felt the same.

Looks too big to be an aphid. Most aphid species are tiny. Ladybugs eat them whole. The largest aphid species would be barely noticeable on casual observation.

If you liked Norsemen, try Lilyhammer.

In addition to being in her personal space, he's also blocking her exit, which could make her feel trapped or threatened.

It's good to discuss these things openly. I sympathize with people who don't intuitively understand them, as I'm one of them.

Forget Sandy Loam. I want to know more about this "silly clay."

I'm surprised to hear that. When I was in China in the early 2010s I saw it played all the time.

Surely there's a difference between an animated movie loosely inspired by a traditional story with original songs, character designs, and dialogue, and remaking that movie beat-for-beat with just a few scenes changed for pandering.

Everything about that was puzzling. They changed the story supposedly to be more culturally accurate, but what they came up with wasn't culturally accurate at all. How did that happen?

Besides, when Chinese people want a culturally accurate Mulan, they watch one of the many Chinese-made adaptions of the story. The animated was appealing because it was a fresh take, a Disney musical that Chinese could relate to. The remake was just a huge miscalculation.

That's not true. The Hoover Dam contributes to Vegas's power supply, but it's nowhere near "almost entirely powered" by the dam, except in Fallout: New Vegas.

Sure, both sides are not the same. But the "good" side is still part of the system that allows the "bad" side to exist.

So by all means, vote for the party that will do less damage in the short term. But oppose FPTP voting at the same time.

I would argue that the doctrine of Hell introduced in the New Testament is crazier than anything in the Old Testament.
