That’s cool, I actually just got my first pen recently on a trip to Oregon to visit family. It was an interesting new way to indulge, at least until the battery crapped out. I’ll probably invest in a higher-quality device next time I’m out on the West coast.

Can I get a maybe?

Before replying earlier, I actually searched for a concrete definition of prestige TV, but no two sources seemed to agree. So, in the spirit of our modern age, I just made one up and tried to sound confident in coming to my (completely arbitrary) conclusion.

LOL, fair enough. How about: ”this story, which happened over 20 years ago and involves a mind-altering substance, is accurate to the best of my recollection.”

Let’s all agree now - if there is no Thanoscopter, we riot in the theater and burn the muthafucka down.

I don’t really know the “dictionary definition” of prestige TV, but thinking about Altered Carbon:

Maybe we have different definitions of “prestige TV”, but I think Altered Carbon absolutely qualifies.  

Dude, I’ve got a great story (and it is actually 100% truth). I got stuck without a way home visiting an ex-girlfriend’s college campus, and had to score a ride (a couple of hours’ drive) with some random guy she knew in exchange for gas money. Travis, I think his name was. We made it back to Minneapolis just fine,…

My 7-year-old daughter thinks Beetlejuice is the best movie ever. However, she is certainly more mature (and has a darker sense of humor) than the average kid, so YMMV.

After reading this pathetic comment, I deleted all of your albums. Sad!

I started looking for tickets less than 3 hours after they went on sale, and opening night at my theater of choice was already sold out. The early show on Friday night only had a few scattered seats available at the edges, but we managed to get good seats for the 10:30 show. Since that’s already past my wife’s…

And people stating “here, here!” when they want to reinforce a point they agree with. I get why it’s confusing, since we are reading these words instead of actually hearing them, but still... 

Exactly! It was all puppies and rainbows until 2016, everyone knows that.

Human decency is graded on a curve these days.

You keep saying that the kiss was out of left field, and I keep wondering if you even watched the show this season. Max’s main interaction with any of the characters was with Lucas, and they had a steadily deepening connection. Lucas was the first to fully trust her and reveal all the shit that went down in Season 1.…

It was the culmination of a romantic subplot between two main characters. Of course it ended in a kiss, that’s just Generic TV Show Narrative 101.

I’m not saying that those things don’t happen, I’m saying that I don’t think that’s what happened here.

I’m not saying that I think those things don’t ever happen. I’m saying that I don’t think that’s what happened here.

Not to sign a legal contract or join the military, sure, but that’s not what we’re talking about. You’re saying that a teenager isn’t even allowed to have an opinion about whether something made her personally uncomfortable or not. And that’s bullshit. I’ll take her at her actual words until I have reason to believe…
