Good lord. You’re going on a jingoist, bigoted tirade to complain about jingoism and bigotry? More than half of Americans didn’t vote for Trumplestiltskin any more than the Brits did, but you’re still “you people”ing us all together.

It’s from the Swedish remake of Star Wars, where Hans Olo, Luk Skjiewalker, Princess Leyja, and Kjowbokken face the evil Daart Vodir. The poster blurb was the Swedish rave review: “Ya, it was pretty good.”

It’s said several times in the article that the problem is with Donny Childsnatcher's behavior.  He's lashing out at our trading partners and having tantrums when he doesn't instantly get his way.  All he's accomplishing is to sour our relations with everyone and drive them to work with each other instead of us.

No one forced Tesla to make cars. If they don’t like the bad press from their dangerous and inhumane working conditions, they could build another product or improve conditions. Stop whining, no one forced you to have such lax safety standards.

They’re forced to walk through shit to keep the line moving, and you think the overtime is a choice?  A choice between being allowed to sleep and being fired, I guess.

They didn't--they used American "cheese" slices.

The smell of bacon is gross to me. I’m not going to say anything to someone else cooking or eating it, but be careful with the blanket statements, there.

Yes, that is the point. It is breathtakingly stupid to ascribe a failure of hypothetical calamity to something without evidence. Claiming the lack of terror attacks is due to the TSA is just as stupid as claiming it’s due to voodoo. It’s fuzzy thinking.

Hijackings aren’t happening because I did a voodoo ritual. Think of all the hijackings that would have happened if I hadn’t done that! Clearly, my voodoo rituals are an important safeguard to the nation and should get blind, unquestioning support.

So your point is that the TSA is slightly less invasive than going to prison? And your using that as a compliment for them?

Citation needed.

The TSA Kabuki act does nothing to improve security. Being made to do their stupid little dance is supposed to make us _feel_ safer, for some reason, but all it does is cause misery.

Yeah, the Lumberjack was happy and totally at ease with himself. His only problem was other people being unable to accept that he was different.

Thor: The Dark World was inspired by a contractual obligation for another Thor movie.  It's subtle, but you can actually see this message by looking at Natalie Portman's expression in every scene she's in.

I actually, no joke, got a “nuh-uh, Obummer am dumb! Trump am smrt!” reply to this.

I kept wondering what they were looking at, so I followed their eyeline.  Next time you're talking with someone, suddenly look behind them with a startled expression... See if they don't look around to see what you're reacting to.

The effects were not great. I kept looking above and to the side of Jar-Jar, because that's where all the other charterers looked when they were talking to him.  Lucas swore you couldn't tell the CGI from practical effects, but Lucas is also an old man with failing eyes.

Also as a benchmark for something moving slowly*.

I have a cheap aftermarket BT head unit in one of my old beaters, and it works fine on BT or aux. My other old beater has the factory (crappy) 2-DIN head unit with AM/FM/Cassette, and I’ve been making do with a Cassette adapter, but of course it sounds pretty lousy.
