Lots of people also say “Oh, he ate some but didn’t have any problems. The next day he puked up something he ate in the backyard” That’s chocolate poisonin making the dog puke. Humans get over chocolate poisoning in less than 24 hours. Dogs suffer it for up to 72 hours. My dog ate a Christmas presen...

Yeah, it’s harmful to humans. 1000 mg of chocolate per 1kg of weight. In dogs it’s 300 mg per kg. And obviously, dark chocolate with higher cocao percentages has more whatever chemical, milk chocolate less, white chocolate isn’t really chocolate but if it’s got the chemical it’s probably even less t...

Because it’s not from this forum. It’s a game I played on a now defunct forum in ...2003? 2? Something like that. I brought it here and described it in a thread no longer accessible.

Which is why hyperion is apologizing to me directly in the OP.

Not even remotely accurate, as the Barrel game predates the barrel comic's internet publication by several years.

Barrel .

So... Dwarf Fortress?

There have been 150 actors who have played two or more roles, though most of them were background parts. Notable ones are Peter Quill's mother being in the first Captajn America, and Odin's dad being an Irish mobster in Daredevil. This is probably the most prominent one. And you could maybe even arg...

Re:Flooding. The Ohio was up in February.

How up?

Spoiler:

Certainly the Supreme Court has ruled that not all Persons (for the purposes of the census) were Citizens. See Dred Scott . I wonder what the "Indians not taxed" category means today? That’s what I get for not checking through the various drafts and going over the whole Slavery thing. My ...

What about the Supreme Court and it's final say on what the law means? Yes, what about the last paragraph I wrote? That’s a good point which is why I was talking about it in that last paragraph. If only I’d mentioned it in the last paragraph where I was discussing how the Supreme Court interprets t...

So the 2020 census is going to have a question as to whether or not the person is a citizen, mostly so that illegal immigrants won't answer and thus won't be counted. My question is thus. From a constitutional perspective, not a moral one, should non-legal residents be counted for purposes of deter...

If the age of consent is 17, then it was illegal when the younger one was 16. There is no such thing as "both minors so legal" in the US. Two underage people having sex are committing statutory rape against each other because neither one could consent. The reason it doesn't come up very of...

I also find preventing a group from speaking to be problematic as a general concept. I'd rather see ideas rise or fall on their merits, not because a majority can silence dissent, even if the majority is in the one who is correct. Have you heard of the potluck analogy? At least I think that’s what ...

Ask any paramedic about “alternative” uses of an oxygen tank.

You're clearly ignoring the roving bands of pantsuit-clad thugs randomly attacking innocent white nationalists in cities across the country. You're ignoring the bands of masked Antifa thugs who were showing up at political rallies and college campuses, in most cases to prevent someone they didn't a...

Re:Your Spoiled Bit.

That is horrible and terrifying and should not exist and I want them.

Nearly 1000 people were killed by police last year. 68 were unarmed. So 7% of the time a police officer decides to shoot someone to death, that person is unarmed... Given the number of police who plant weapons on people they’ve shot as well as the utter lack of any sort of consistent reporting - or...

Tazers. Nightsticks. Pepper Spray. Flash Lights. Identifying yourself as an Officer of the Law.

When these powers combine, unarmed (predominately black) people don't die.

My point was more along the lines of, 'Look at how horribly these cops are trained.' Any basic firearms course would tell you to never shoot madly like that. This miscommunication is on me. I should have made myself clearer. Your point was 100% clear. Your point was that Baby Stomping Earl should u...

I kinda want to print that out, frame it, put it in an art museum, and title the piece “Why people who argue that emotion has no place in decision making or thought are the dumbest dumbfucks to ever dumbfuck III”

Freezeblade's and Ginger's posts have mismatched quote/spoiler tags.

The Pope is a High Priest , but no one would call him that. That Zuri is not explicitly named High Priest does not stop him from holding the role. There’s pretty clearly religious overtones to everything he does, and he seems to run the show. Part of running the show is delegation of things, like d...

Today's post reminded me of something I've wondered about before: is there any way for us to know exactly how fast we're actually going, in some sort of absolute terms? The idea came from a friend of mine and I joking about a time machine, how even a few seconds forward or backwards in time would i...

Welp, nevermind, guess we can't have that conversation.

Oh, hey Jorpho. Say shit like this in a similar context again without also demonstrating a clear understanding of race relations (particularly in the 1500-2000 eras) and you're off the forum.

That made absolutely zero sense to me. What possible reason do you have for not immediately shooting Klaue? At best - you kill him and you have the gratitude of your partner, and if you want to off her you still have the chance to do so while she's grateful and not considering protecting hersel...

Yeah, remind me again how many American blockbusters with an almost entirely black cast even exist?

Or how many American films with an almost entirely black cast being aimed at the general moviegoing public exist?

You can hardly avoid the subject with American history to be fair, what with the civil war that happened, and the ~ 20% of Americans living today descended from slaves. and precisely how the fuck can British history ignore the slave trade? Like, is it just lost in the cracks of all the other repreh...
