The maid just left.
Come Monday morning the place will be locked down by a CBRN team out of Bethesda.
The weekends get pretty wild here.

I can't believe Geralt's dream from Time of Contempt becomes real in Blood and Wine. We're getting to quite "lets create better fanon ending to replace downer canon ending" writing tier here. XD

IF you compare us to carnivores in the wild? Probably some truth. However, we're not the meat-eaters from the wild who take bites out of raw flesh. We got fire, then applied that to the meat.. and that helped out brains grow.

And our absence of claws was more than compensated by our ability to wield tools and domesticate animals. Also there's the theory that our ancestors changed their diet to include fish, which apparently had fascinating effects on their brains after a few dozen millenniums of swimming & fishing. It would also explain why humans have subcutaneous fatty tissue, which is not a standard feature for primates.

Ah, the president of the Philippines. Not the most subtle politician, but exactly the same can be said of Turkey's Dear Leader, the strong-willed and so utterly devout Erdogan.

It's not summer YET, it only feels that way because of the recent onslaught of trolling. I think cheeses make a wonderful spring delicacy.

Nice. Since NationStates is a wild and wonderful place, we even have a dedicated thread for mentioning the movies that you recently saw. Not the only specialized thread in the Arts & Fiction subforum, by the way.
