This is my neighbor across the street who just had 4 healthy trees removed (you can only see two stumps here I think) because they are living in the house to flip it think that it'll improve the value. You can see the gorgeous trees up and down the street at the other houses.

This one is even worse than the ignorant posts that claim elimination of the FD was the reason Rush was successful. This BSkyer thinks the FD would have somehow applied to Fox News. They also blocked anyone disagreeing with them faster than I've ever seen.
An image of someone claiming: 

It all went wrong with one point in history. One.

When Rupert Murdoch of Australia was allowed to buy Fox in 1989, aided by Reagan eliminating the Fairness Doctrine, it was a cover for GOP lying liars.

Republicans lie like rugs because right-wing media lets them get away with it. 

There's a GIF at the bottom that had the text "HEARING THE RIGHT WING DOG WHISTLE"

While I get that one person handling the community emails for Paizo is likely overwhelmed, at the moment, not sending them will not communicate how bad the community thinks this decision is. I can appreciate Maya's situation and would, strongly suggest, that emails sent be kept polite.
Avi Henriques, associated with Paizo, telling people not to email their frustrations with Paizo cancelling their parternship with Archives of Nethyy by skeeting the following:

Hey folks, I realize you are all upset about the AoN news but PLEASE do not with the mass-email campaign. Maya is one person receiving hundreds of furious emails. You have made yourselves heard plenty. It is really not fair to direct this anger at one person who had no part in this decision.

Our 14 year old rat terrier just passed away. It was peaceful and we knew it was coming. She spent her last days being coddled like the best girl she was. I even carried her outside to lie in the sun because she loved that. I'm heartbroken.

No causality at all. Correlation sure, but from the study itself it could be a form of self medication or dopamine seeking behavior. Your own citation shows that you didn't bother to read the article, much less the study itself.
The observational study could not prove causality between energy drink consumption and poor health outcomes; the drinks could, for example, be more popular among adolescents with naturally low levels of dopamine and/or those facing higher risks of mental and physical health issues. However, the researchers said their findings were strong enough to suggest policymakers consider banning the sales of these products to children.

I would totally get new eyes!
Roy Batty, played by Rutger Hauer, in the movie Blade Runner holding up a pair of var grown eyes in front of his own. His mouth is slightly open showing the top row of his teeth. While the image doesn't convey it, he was doing this to mock another character and I feel that really needs to be mentioned.

Holy shit, saw a real life SovCidiot today at an HEB in Houston. I've never seen one outside of YouTube before.
A silver car with a license plate that reads "exempt" in all caps along with the rest SovCidiot nonsense like "Private - Automobile" "UCC 9-109 (1)" "UCC 1-308"  "NON US CITIZEN" and more that's illegible in the picture (I wish I had gotten a cleaner pic). With and HEB in the background.

The view from my work area today
A pool of water with four lights illuminating a man with a harp riding a dolphin. There is a fountain under the dolphin's tail. The sculpture is brass and shows a greenish patina. The sound of the fountain is very relaxing as is the almost white noise effect of the low level cacophony of multiple people having conversations in the area

I don't normally share a lot of food posts but, damn, I made a nice frittata this morning. Check the alt text for a full description.
Picture of a slice of a frittata on a clear glass plate. The frittata is made with broccoli, homegrown jalapeno, ham and American cheese inside, then topped with sliced tomatoes and cheddar. The cheddar cheese has a nice golden color after finishing the frittata under the broiler. You can just barely see a sliced tomato under the cheese on the far side of the slice.

Using a logical fallacy isn't going to convince a lot of folks.

Age yourself with your first computer. I will not be taking questions at this time...
A Wang 2200 PCS II. An ancient computer with two 5.25 inch floppy drives above a small CRT screen on the left side of the faceplate. Under the CRT there are knobs for horizontal and vertical resolution control. And slightly more than a 90 degree angle there is a mechanical keyboard. The majority of the case is beige with the front of the floppy drives being black, the faceplate being gray, and the bottom plate is black. 

It looks like it smells like 1979 and possibly cigarette smoke.
