I think the spell is based around trust, the vampire has to convince you to trust them enough (either through charm or trickery) to invite them into your private living space. I think an outhouse would work since there’s a major expectation of privacy there.

I think a warrant would help the vampire convince people to trust them (a judge trusted them to execute their court order) but probably wouldn’t be enough on it’s own. Because it’s not about convincing someone else to say it’s ok to enter your home, they have to convince you to give them permission. But the vampire could say “I have been ordered by the court to search your house, may I come in?” They’d have to wait until you’ve read the warrant, maybe call your lawyer, and your lawyer would tell you that you have to let them in. Then you’d likely give permission to the vampire to enter your house because your lawyer told you to. Because lawyers are just another kind of blood sucker, aren’t they?

But wouldn’t someone have to be living in the houses? I feel like empty buildings wouldn’t work.

First season was a bit procedural, but S2 may be the best season of TV of anything. Other seasons were great too, and it had the best ending of any TV show I’ve seen.

Based on some of the works of Elmore Leonard (author of the books movie like Get Shorty and Jackie Brown are based on) it’s about an old school cowboy kind of guy by the name Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant)… but in modern times. So cowboys vs. gangsters kind of thing.

Here’s the opening scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho2_c_LGZfk

Raylan isn’t the most interesting character, interesting enough though because it is questioned whether he’s creating situations so he can kill people, what the influence his father (a violent abusive criminal) had on him, etc. But it’s kinda like Batman TAS, where the villains are the really interesting part of it. The main villain, Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins), is kinda like the Joker because he knows the hero is going to win and makes all of his schemes around that.

You can skip City Primeval tho, it’s kinda pointless other than the last five minutes.

So a few milligrams less insane then? :P

Implying Brits are no longer insane?

This is the story arc for the aliens in Prometheus.

I’ll have to check that out… I really liked Yojimbo.

Americans: Our system is the best because we don’t have royalty, we have a President instead!

American President: Plating his palace with gold and being completely above the law.

Marion, you knew when you met me that I came from the mind of George Lucas. It’s not my fault I’m a little fucked up!

Marion, this is a movie made in the 1980s and set in the 1930s, what the hell are you even talking about?

I’m wondering if the leftists will actually believe this. They seem to latch onto every other meme that presents geopolitics as some overly simplistic pattern.

I think some on the right believes a major world war happens every 70 years (or something like that) and the pattern totally explains wars for centuries! Well as long you forget WWI and the Napoleonic wars happened…

Also I don’t think “intervention” means what you think it means.

You didn’t answer the question. If someone is born in the US and they have Mexican parents and they consider themselves an American, do you call that person a “Mexican larping as an American”?

Sorry, explain to me how to not be antisemitic.

Maybe, crazy idea here… don’t cite the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. You kind of give away the game there.

Who is doing this larping?

Where can I get this placebo? I need some now!

Did you really just reference the Protocols of the Elders of Zion?
