If Alien was made now it would be a brand new IP without any of the fan baggage the Star Wars and Marvel franchises carry around so I have to believe it wouldn’t provoke quite as much ire. I'm sure someone would find something to complain about though.

I feel like they should only market this to people who remember the original because anyone younger than that who finds out it's a remake will find an image of the original poster or VHS box and have so many questions about 90's hairstyles that they'll forget all about this movie.

One explanation I read said that most curse words were derived from Old English, which was the language of the people in England before the Norman Conquest. As the language changed the old words for things were associated with backwards and poor rural people who still spoke that way and eventually the words themselves…

That's funny, they must have pushed the window of douchiness for you because I still see a complete douche up there. It's a doucherstorm compared to previous douchicanes and douchnadoes but still.

New Milkshake Duck, huh? Seems like it's working just fine.

99% of the time you die a nobody but if you do happen to be actually important no matter what you think the people of the future will decide if you’re a hero or a villain but they’ll disagree with each other and their judgement might change over time.

Why do you assume he’s any different and this isn’t his way of selling out his family to preserve his image, just as they would do to him? Being the first one to go to an interviewer is just as likely to show you to be a better manipulator as a victim.

“I hope you get raped by a pack of n———!”

Yeah one of my first reactions to that clip was to think that I should never be in a room alone with Mel Gibson without a weapon because clearly underneath the acting the man is a raging psychopath.

I think the first time someone told me about TikTok they were doing that in the backseat of my car and I asked if their phone had broken or what.

Thank God we now have a linguistic qualifier that lets us know whether and how any person, place thing or idea is capable of being sexually penetrated. How did we get by all those years blundering around erections foremost, desperately trying to find out, by a slow process of elimination, what crevices were suitable…

Hand-wringing aside the arguments do have the side effect of leaving enough documentation that our descendants should be able to figure out what the hell we were talking about. Otherwise they might have some issues. If culture changes enough over time we might need to put together an emoji version of the Rosetta…

Coming from enough money to be able to start a business or get an education without going massively into debt is an enormous advantage over those who weren’t so fortunate even before you factor in racial disparities.

Theyre definitely dangerous but it turns out the OP meant stand-up lifts driven with the forks to the back so jumping out is way more dangerous than the normal kind.

I was thinking of getting out of a runaway forklift, not in. I'd have a hard time riding one into an immovable object or a stack of things that will collapse without a harness and more than a roof.

Ah, thanks. I was thinking of a sit down forklift where you drive facing forward.

While it’s clear what’s meant in context the phrase “penis envy” has a historical meaning significantly different than the one intended here and much weirder.

If the forklift is moving forward how do you get run over jumping out to the side?

I like to use that song to test bass levels or try out a new speaker.

Today I learned that a person who was on Big Brother in 2011 can be said to have a fanbase stretching back for “generations”. So “generations”, plural, can fit into a twelve year period. Are his fans cats and dogs? They breed fast enough for that to work.
