The Infinity Gems are far more powerful than the Cosmic Cube. The Cosmic Cube gives the wielder limited reality manipulation powers—sort of like a genie’s lamp—while the Reality Gem grants complete and absolute mastery of reality itself. When Thanos wielded the full Gauntlet, he was able to lay the smackdown on all…

To quote John Rogers, showrunner of Leverage: “If you are an executive, this is your day: a scruffy man in a Hawaiian shirt walks into your office and says, “I need you to be personally responsible for giving me one hundred million dollars so I can go to Ireland and have people who pretend for a living act like…

Or if he were armed, he would have gotten another kid that he thought was the shooter and increased the body count. In the panic of a mass shooting, not knowing who you’re supposed to be shooting back at, it’s entirely possible for you to wind up creating more havoc, not less.

Even criminals would start having problems if we actually restricted the supply. Guns supplied to criminals start out as legally purchased guns, which then get resold outside of the official channels and make their way to criminals.

They actually did. It’s called Gab. None of them use it because there’s no liberals there for them to harass.

Do they still have the subplot where everyone has hypnotic triggers implanted in their brains? Asking for a friend.

I’ll go looking for it, thanks!

Oh, definitely. People actually smiling and flirting with each other is waaaaay sexier than the growly hate-sex that a lot of outfits specialize in.

I am loving the idea of lawmakers demanding better porn. “Could we at least see these people cuddle afterward? And God, what is it with everyone shaving their pubic areas? I mean, I get that it’s a personal choice, but it’s like it’s fucking mandatory on set or something.”

How much are they paying you to do this?

“UNT buildings should be named after individuals who are deserving of such an honor—not individuals who are chosen to fill a quota system”

“So if Russia put its thumb on the scales to help Trump, why should they care.”

“(some people who aren’t bisexual identify as bi before coming out as gay or lesbian)“

Yep. Sorta like the 2016 Republican primaries. Everyone thought it was going to be a straightforward process of weeding out the ceremonial no-hopers like Lindsay Graham and Rick Perry before settling on Jeb Bush as the anointed one, and in walks Trump and stabs him in the gut and says, “I’m your king now.”

I think you’re underestimating the number of people who hear about bartending school and say, “Hey, I know a lot about liquor...”

No, they’re going to be mildly annoyed that we made a machine to literally chew up our shit. They’re going to be really mad that we gave it tastebuds.

Cognitive dissonance. The human brain always tries to reconcile contradictory information and especially contradictory behaviors. So if I know that I’m a good person, and I know that I’m literally killing children, my brain will tie itself up into a fucking pretzel trying to make those two things internally consistent…

He was an important figure within the Extended Universe. In the movies, he was that guy who shouted “It’s a TRAP!”

I think that’s why he works so well as a comedian—he’s got a line of patter that’s constantly saying, “Yes, the real punchline is me.”

But the movie’s villain is Trump. Perfectly willing to use others’ adherence to tradition and protocol against them, but when they become inconvenient he discards them and relies on force.
