I think the idea is intended as something like "Latin. X.", which isn't really any better, sounds like the monster from a racist 50s B movie or something. La-tinx is where my mind always defaults to too though

Or at least if they're going to insist anyway go with something like latinae that vaguely follows grammatical rules and is able to be pronounced

She used to go by a hyphenated name, but Trump had one of his crying diaper baby fits that her uncle Mitt dared to do the absolute bare minimum to try hold him accountable so bullied her into dropping it.

Unless it's formulated to sublimate into a gas I suppose.

Fact that US Republicans are mostly straight up monarchists in all but name, wanting the rapist fuckweasel to have the title of President but role of king is certainly something.

One thing to consider, assuming the red one is mental time travel (which is the only way it'd really be at all useful), you're essentially murdering everyone who exists from your subjective present to the jump point to replace with at best very similar clones and possibly no one or completely different people. Then you have to also assume the timeline isn't fixed and you can actually change things, and thus contend with butterfly effect causing divergence making your knowledge less useful. Sure, little changes probably won't impact things on a global scale for a while, but once you start doing big things like investing or preventing terrorist attacks or something that could cause major divergence. Ethically any kind of useful time travel should be limited to "World is already wiped out" scale scenarios where the alternative is worse.

There's also a woman who at least claimed to be a Jet addict since before the kid was even born in the same game. Is it possible her brain was just fried and she was projecting her current fix over all her past problems? Maybe. But whether it was the original intention at the time or a retcon, at this point he must have been bullshitting to some degree. Most generous possible reading with current available facts is something like "discovered a process to mass produce an existing but potentially rare prewar Chem with postwar tech and claimed to have done the whole thing"

And Agua Fria is in New Mexico. Presumably Texas Red is Texan I guess? Though he's not exactly the hero of the story

And funny thing about that book, not only does it never even approach condemning abortion it gives explicit instructions how to perform one with a potion that can detect if a woman cheated as one of the only times it's mentioned

I'll sometimes think about how they accidentally made it canon in the Muppets universe that the existence of Kermit is somewhere in the chain of causality that determines whether 9/11 happens by showing the twin towers in the background of a timeline he's been wished out of

Pseudo telegram could also work within the "kind of works if you squint" framework of it without bumping into the "now we ignore RAW and use actual physics for the final attack" bit

That's essentially what the video is about, there are two (technically three) types of popcorn buttons, ones that use a humidity sensor, ones that have a pre set time based on average popping time of bags of certain sizes, (and super fancy ones that have the humidity sensor as well as a sound sensor that listens for the "x number of seconds between pops" sound sensor)
