But if you don't have a heart you can take one from somebody else, then get all your friends together around a bonfire and have a heartwarming heart warming.

Does this mean we will domesticate nene geese?

[Baffler]

Yes. And a raid on monsanto sounds like a good idea. If anyone has the technology to create our staple dwarven crops, it's them. Dwarven wine and +Quarry Bush Roasts+ for everyone!

Someone mentioned violence against Monsanto?
Gimme a time and place.

Sounds a new thread is in order.

I'm surprised that there hasn't been any Ron Paul campaign posters yet. It would be a great platform to run on.

Unstoppable forces of nature tend to be outside the scope of politics. We are yet to see a sim-city world where political parties channel the raw power of the elements to achieve democratic victory.

What about Afterlife?

a crew of bay12ian skeletons is currently watching over Yellowstone.

And that's how Bay12 was invaded by the people's liberation army of the Monsanto republic.

Lucky for us, Bay12 is equipped with enough "‼" symbols to destroy the world several times over.

With America not having blown up due to Yellowstone supervolcanoes, there's a brand new world changer possibly on the horizon:

The mexicans just had cobalt-60 stolen. LOTS of it.

"Mexican police located a truck stolen on Monday which contained dangerous radioactive material the UN warned could be used to construct a “dirty bomb.” An official has said the container holding that cargo was found empty.

The vehicle was found close to where it was stolen outside of Mexico City as it was transporting cobalt-60 from a hospital in Tijuana to a radioactive waste storage center. Mexico’s nuclear safety director Juan Eibenschutz said radioactivity had been detected about a half mile (1 kilometer) from where the truck and container were located. "

WILL UPDATE WITH RELIABLE NEWS

The quantity stolen was a truckload. Vague, but meaningful.

Also, it's bad that the containers are empty. Now - regardless of whether the thieves know what they're doing, the cobalt is dangerous.

Fletcha Rota! Activa el Christian Slater Mexicano!

Seriously though, you know who are mean and evil enough to detonate one of this in populace city like Mexico City? The cartels.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Evil enough, but are they impractical enough? It's not exactly something that would help their profits, especially when the US and Mexican armies arrive and kill them to a man.

At the risk of sounding racist, there's machismo to consider. It has its limits, but these are guys who will hunt, decapitate and display whole families related to government officials who have pissed them off. They're as close to rabid dogs as I think you can get. It's not that they have the willingness to die. It's just they have a willingness to commit horrible atrocities to make a point: that they will do anything.

Not sure how that's race-related. Machismo is pretty much universal, though exactly what constitutes it varies.

I just don't see it. This would take the involvement of the kingpins to pull that off, and I don't see them being blindly hotheaded enough to not see the consequences to both their money and power. The atrocity-level stuff is carried out by footsoldiers even if it is ordered by the higher-ups, and they don't get to make the big decisions.
