    Recommend good Rap/Hip-Hop songs/groups

    I'm a big fan of The Coup, specifically the vocal work of Boots Riley. Boots also works with Tom Morello in Street Sweeper Social Club, a little RATM-ish than straight up rap

    You can have any superpower, but with one catch...

    I can make a half-cup of water appear in any article of clothing I want. Ever step in a puddle, and it gets in your shoe, and you have to wear that shoe all day? Oh yeah, I'd be the king of that.

    Lovecraft is not really scary.

    That right there is the "scary" part of Lovecraft's style. Some people are afraid of the familiar, seeing something they recognize made wrong, made evil. Stephen King's Cujo - a massive rabid dog terrorizing a mother and her frail child. It's all relatable, and it scares the bejesus out of...
