They brought in George R. R. Martin to finish up the script.

I will finally be able to sleep at night.

Holy shit you would have to be an idiot to go get your eyes scanned.

No way I'm adding another icon to my screen just to help developers get paid.

I'm so tired of stupid people and their hindsight bias.

It isn't the corruption, extortion and bribery they didn't like. It was having to hide it. Now they don't have to hide it.

This is even less likely to catch on than vr goggles.

That Dune game is kind of an offensive rebranding of an Unreal tech demo.

"I feel bad about my life so I'm going to try to make that person feel bad about theirs. At least then I won't be the only one that is miserable. I will also pretend that this makes me feel strong so people don't see how sad I really am."

Back in my day we had in-person exams that we wrote by hand into little blue booklets.

I hate any ringing, beeping, vibrating or alarming from an inanimate object that draws my attention away from whatever it is that I am doing. If you want to send me a message, expect it to sit there until I choose to look for it.

That trailer felt 3 hrs long.

The library doesn't have infinite copies of the book to be checked out by everyone at the same time.

It doesn't surprise me that you, Cutter, have no issue with freezing things that support people who have trouble supporting themselves, or supporting efforts to expand access to what would otherwise be unavailable to groups...but what does surprise me is how you think that doing any of this is going to help a taxpayer, short or long term.

What is surprising to me is how many people are watching the Trump "runaway train" from the sidelines, and quietly cheering on for it to continue it's rampage come what may. There seem to be lot of people in the world who enjoy watching the world burn.

It isn't so much that people want to see the world burn, at least for me. It's more the case that the people of the US have prospered so much under the safety net that regulations provide, they no longer believe there are any threats. This is like the patient that feels better after taking a few doses of medicine so they feel like they don't have to take their medicine anymore.
On some level I feel like we need to let the GOPs crazy ideas play out so that people can see what a burning world actually looks like. Then maybe there will be an "aha" moment and they will say, "Oh, this is obviously batshit insane." If not, we will limp along in this horrible us vs. them state until we are literally at each other's throats.
Of course I have no faith in the ability of the average voter to come to a rational conclusion anyway so it will probably all still get blamed on Obama.

Trump isn't a racist because you actually have to care to hate someone. It takes effort. The only color Trump cares about is green. And if you're rich and will make him richer he'll love you no matter your race. Or maybe you missed all the minorities in his cabinet and how he got a lot more votes from minorities this time around because even they are sick and tire of the woke bullshit.

I agree with this statement about Trump. Steven Miller on the other hand...

yeah... you're not wrong, but I give him an alibi for being all autistic and shit.

I'm autistic but I know what a Nazi salute means and I know never to do it even as a joke.

Amen! but...
in all fairness, isn't that how we worshiped the flag, I mean saluted the flag here in America back in the day? Infact that shit was even mandated by law in June of 1942. The Bellamy salute.

Well the Nazis also took their approach of ethnic cleansing and eugenics from the U.S. as well so it's all just coming full circle. We're basically devolving into the early 1900s

It's kind of a perfect troll. It isn't the Gulf of the United States, but uneducated people from the US will think "America" is referring to the United States of America. So I am left thinking, does Trump think "America" is referring to the USA? But one could claim that he's referring to North America. Was it really a Nazi salute, or was Elon just being awkward? It could go either way. Of course it was a Nazi salute, and of course he thinks its the USA.

If I saw a human walking like that I would think he was impersonating a robot.

I don't think buying a new Ferrari would make anyone happy. It would just point out how much you want other people to see how much money you spent on a new Ferrari. It makes you look even more sad.

Elon Musk is proof that money can't buy happiness.
