Why the fuck does this dude care so much about one social media platform being available here? Is he perving on dancing teenagers?

Trump: I am very pleased with the patriotic actions of the Proud Boys…

AG: Sir. They had to give up their trademark to a Black church.

Trump: I am very upset with the anti-American actions of the Proud Boys…

Probably something like this.

Okay, what I meant was, Geordi did use one.

But yeah, this is clearly Sisko but I don’t recall him shaving his head in any scenes.

It was Geordi. He was shaving a beard.

I can top that. I saw a dog at a Korean barbecue restaurant. The ones that serve raw meat for you to cook at your table. Except this restaurant did it buffet style. I never went back.

This sounds like some Brave New World bullshit. Sorry, I recently read Brave New World.

Newspeak would be an attempt to prevent any language that hinted at things deemed “bad”. For example, we couldn’t call this “fascism” with Newspeak because the approved language would remove that word completely. Newspeak isn’t just changing how you say things, but preventing unapproved behavior entirely by saying those things don’t exist.

Well this is both "correct" and wrong simultaneously. The Final Cut, which is the canonical version, states that Deckard is a replicant.

However if you watch 2049, that is specifically a sequel to the non-canon theatrical cut. So the statement would be incorrect in that instance.

So we are more worried about the privacy communications instead of how we are bombing Yemen. Great. Fantastic.

I took one college course and couldn’t handle it. On top of that I was the weird student that wanted to use a Mac instead of the school’s own computers. So anytime I had a problem, the teacher would just blame me using Xcode instead of Visual Studio.

My grandfather helped me purchase the car I have. At one point he was arguing with the salesperson and I got uncomfortable.

Except, they legally can’t do that everywhere. Many states have laws against direct sales. Doubt they’ll let third-party dealerships do any of the work.
