SO glad I don’t have any Nikes. Up yours, Phil.

Sometimes poorly used quotation marks freak me out. This is one of those times.

Uh… okay

Either the border of the United States is undefined in 2025, or the people “reporting” this story are completely spineless.

It took me WAY too long to realize how bad the most evil person I know is. To him, though, it’s not evil. As far as he’s concerned, everything he does is fair, reasonable, and justified.

Hammerhead sharks are unironically one of the coolest animals in existence

Doctors are trained in using them safely, and in a way that benefits the public. That could make a difference.

Although I personally am not a cape kind of guy, I will readily admit that this looks damn good

Good for you. Laws are nice, but sometimes firepower is the best option for securing your rights - especially if you live in a country where DEI is sneered at.

I think women would be happier with toys instead of these guys, too. It’s win-win!

lol now THAT’S a brainteaser

Willy Wonka may not be hated, but he would definitely be vilified. There is no way a candy maker who refused to allow inspectors into his factory would be allowed to sell candy to the general public.

Plus, under the current administration, ICE would break in and forcibly deport (kidnap) all the Ommpa Loompas.

Totally understandable, even to someone who counts this film as a favorite. It is very slow moving.

She’s walking funny on purpose. Those are meant to be some kind of velcro or magnetic slippers she’s wearing. She’s walking carefully because she doesn’t want to go drifting around in microgravity while carrying a tray of food.

That’s my interpretation, anyway.

This film is my go-to whenever anyone mentions visual effects. If I were a director, this would be my gold standard for absolutely timeless effects.

It’s more fun to play along, and unless I’m missing something, I kept it gender neutral.

I don’t think I can blame Anon. “Should we try it out?” isn’t exactly stirring my passions, either.

Under the circumstances, it sounds like “you’re my least terrible option left, so maybe I can settle for you. On a trial basis, of course.” Uh, no thanks.

This is wonderful. To me, “smart” devices are usually things to be avoided. I interpret “smart” to mean additional cost, more points of failure, giving up my privacy to “register” the device, and possible future incompatibility (especially if the company fails or is bought out).
