Which episode?

Thanks I’ll have to check that out

“They call it ‘souping’...”

Love learning about the Satanic Panic! There’s also a podcast called you’re wrong about that talks about it, in fact its why the podcast was started

Older folks spread fear on Facebook and claim it came from TikTok.

Gremlins is sorely missing from the list.  It is mine and my friends go to Christmas movie, every year.

If they said the word “dingdong” at the beginning of every sentence, would that be a sign of good writing? That would be consistent. I think you’re referring to internal consistency, which I agree is important, but in 2077's case, it wasn’t consistency - it was the repetition of a stylistic device. People do it today…

My kids had just turned 18 when this madness began. I’ve been SO grateful that they didn’t need to mess w. masks in school and distance learning, and when a vaccine came along..they were adults and could just get the shot! I feel so bad for parents of kids who are younger, and the nightmare the last 18+ months have…

are you saying those small telecoms should have known US would use unfair trade practices to favor US equipment manufacturers and that free market is a myth ?

This. So, so, much this.

Everyone needs the same attitude. The companies don't want us. We're just red on the ledger until we're automated out of a job. 

I never get this either, if I was them and their paycheck I would be a fucking centrist of centrists and never take a stance on anything.

Return to OZ was somewhat traumatizing, even though I was 11 when it came out. Between the Electro Shock therapy, the petrified cowardly lion and those damnable beasts with wheels for hands and feet, I just couldn’t.
