Point of Order: You spoiled what actually happened in the episode, whether it turns out to be “real” or not.

That’s pretty in line with Magneto in the first run of the original X-men.
No, you are confusing the gelflings with the pod people.
Yeah, I’m trying to figure out how they get around that. Ideas:
“Yes, it’s 100% likely that the stinger will come into play for Infinity War. It’s not even a question.”
These two statements are not contradictory.
Set to French music.
I mean, the election was close enough (Trump’s nonsense notwithstanding) that you could basically point to any one thing and say “that’s why the Dems lost” and you’d basically be right.
Because that’s how the human mind works. We accept things that verify our convictions and reject things that contradict them. One can overcome this, but it is not easy to do. For less facepalmingly harmful examples, go to any blackjack table and watch people yell at other players for “screwing up the deck” by…
I say it’s one of 50 words/phrases that people use as affectionate nicknames – why do people insist on shitting on that one specifically? Oh right because the wrong kind of people use it.
I’m not sure who you are replying to, but I am well aware that bae did not come into use as an acronym and never said otherwise. I actually kind of wonder if any word *actually* entered slang through that method, since the other one that I can think of that people claim is ‘fuck’, which is also urban legend. There are…
‘Baby’ is about as correct a definition for ‘bae’ as ‘understand’ is for ‘grok’. You can sub it in and people will pretty much understand, but it does not mean the same thing, at minimum because of the cultural implications of what it means that you use it (but if you ask people who *actually use* ‘bae’ you will find…
Nonsense. Language is defined by usage. Everybody’s usage. There are certainly words that are inappropriate for certain contexts (e.g. academic writing requires a certain grammar and vocabulary), but the idea that some words and grammar are “wrong” or “worse” even through they are commonly used and understood…
Your poorness at math aside, so what? You think he’s saying it to win friends? He’s saying it because he has a deep fear about the lasting harm the Trump presidency could do the country, as do most people who engage with reality. It is understandable that significant portions of the country felt/feel that the…
“This is the sort of argument a pothead proposes. The rabbit hole you’re denoting isn’t the rabbit hole you’re about walk over and thusly break your very clever ankle.”
‘Bae’ also takes a concept that would take a sentence to fully explain and reduces it to a single word. What’s your point? I mean, could you use ‘sweetie’ or some other affectionate term and be close? Sure. You could also use ‘understand’ in place of grok and mean pretty much the same thing, but you seem to believe…
Really? I’m 43 and I hear ‘grok’ all the damned time. I work in silicon valley, so maybe it’s specific to the culture here? It’s a completely routine word to hear in conversation here at this point.
It is not.
Of course, because there are a sophisticated web of problems that all feed upon each other, let’s go ahead and ignore the ones that don’t allow you to completely blame the victims. I guess the undeniable and really well documented systematic police brutality and discrimination should be ignored because some people who…
