I don't support Trump for president, but I used to defend him for this under the logic that it was intended as pride in the fact that he has a pretty daughter, same as any parent would be proud of their child. But you have a point. There are other ways to say that. And while the fact that he was well-meaning but used poor word choice means he's not necessarily a creep, it does mean that he's not cut out for a job where words and phrasing are very, very important. If he can't take enough care in his complementary words, how's he going to handle tricky negotiations?

I actually first thought about Psycho-Pass. I was expecting something darker.

Most of the books are now non-canon. There are several books that were recently written with the new canon in mind, and those are canon, but any of the "classic Star Wars books" like the Thrawn Trilogy or the Jedi Academy trilogy or the X-Wing series are non-canon and go under the label of "Legends". Doesn't mean they can't take those elements and make them canon, though. Clone Wars made Black Sun canon, for example.

I mean, she's an unrealistic character, sure, but unless this comic is a series and there's story I'm not aware of, I don't know how a judgment can be made on how Mary Sue -esque she is.

I always thought a Mary Sue was defined by their detrimental impact to the plot and other characters by virtue of undeserved admiration, unexplained abilities, unnatural coincidences, and basically just being infallible for no reason. I was unaware that appearance played any role in it.

Mary Sue? How do you get that from a single appearance in a single panel with no dialogue and no interactions?

Huh. The guest my comments go under at school has a bunch of other stuff that I know I didn't write. And not just like "I forgot about that," like referencing people I don't know or expressing opinions I've never had.

When half of the marriages in the USA end in divorce it's time to have stuff like this to remind people that that's not the way it's meant to be.

We had a similar thing where they plugged up the storm grate and filled the amphitheater-thing with water and some sand and made a beach.

*on, not out

No, that's actually one of his few inventions that he actually ended up making and proving. At least, on a small scale. What he wanted to do was take that idea and make a worldwide electric system by just pumping electricity into the air and that's what never came to fruition. But he did do several demonstrations involving using tesla coils to turn out lightbulbs at a distance.

One example: police arrive to stop a rape in progress. The girl has been stripped naked by her assailant and now the bodycam footage has her naked body on tape. Another example: police receive a tip that someone has a drug lab setup in their house. They investigate, and while they find out the tip was a hoax, their bodycams do pick up that the person has an embarrassingly elaborate shrine to One Direction in their bedroom. Another example: someone's going to attempt suicide by jumping off a bridge, but the police arrive and try to talk him out of it. Intimate, private details of precisely why he's been driven to the point of suicide are discussed, and now recorded by the bodycam.

There's also the whole issue of how that footage gets released. You can either have it all publicly available, only available on request if you can prove you have a reason to see it and specify precisely which footage you want, or just have it only available to a courtroom. All of those have pros and cons and no one can really agree on which is best. Body cams infringe on the privacy of the people as well as the officer. (Still think they're a great idea and love the positive statistics in the places that are using them, but we've got some problems to solve before it gets implemented everywhere.)

You do if you take any high school biology or history class. But it's more just a "here's a thing that happened during the '50s, along with some other things. Now on to the '60s..."

He said he wouldn't be opposed to having Muslims be registered in a special database to keep track of them. The badge thing was made up by some online news sites. But it's still pretty discriminatory. And that's why people hate him.

Also could be himself. Some people can recognize a bad habit and the tools needed to help break it.

Oh, pictures of those are out there too. He seems to have liked those.

Having burned caramel myself and made a similar monster, I'd agree.

money, love of a job, in the middle of something and don't want to leave it for tomorrow/don't trust next shift's coworkers to not mess it up... There are lots of reasons to want to keep working.

I thought it was a sequel at first!
