Thing is though he has been shown to be ruthless, by trying to literally kill someone who he felt was threatening Mando, to defending against but not killing, like the first battle he showed his powers. Then, on the flip-side, we see him display compassion by trying to heal people and then sentience and understanding,

Baby Yoda kind of sucked in this episode. Frog Lady is like “These eggs are very important to me!” and Baby Yoda is just slurping them down. Then the insatiable bastard eats another egg and gets the Space Spiders after them. What a dick

Why does every future technology concept involve the most impractical screens? I know it looks cool in movies, but no one wants a transparent screen. Everyone already hates glare, imagine if you could see everything that’s behind your laptop while you’re trying to type, or if every video on your phone was superimposed

Then how about you give up the fantasy privilege that you have the right to impose your moral or religious beliefs around sexuality on others?

Tolerance is saying, "I find porn offensive so I won't partake, but you're free to do as you wish," not "ban the thing I find offensive, and if you don't like the ban you're intolerant."

“Report: FDA Commissioner Presented Plan to Restrict Flavored E-Cigarettes to White House Staff” — I swear, just because of the general corruptness of the current administration, that when I clicked I thought this was going to be a story about an FDA commissioner who wanted to make it so only White House staff could

I think we don’t know more about droids for the same reason we don’t really know everything about the Force: the creators are not terribly interested in exploring these things.

Syfy still needs to make money off of their space shows — notice how they haven’t cancelled Killjoys yet? — and it’s clear that the deal they had for The Expanse simply wasn’t enough.

You could probably cut the funding for subsidies to the oil industry and the agricultural subsidies for corn and cattle without doing much damage.

I’m usually the interrupter, I’m really working on it but when I have an idea I feel like I need to get it out before I forget it and I often mistake a normal conversational pause as an opening to add my comments.

I’m so glad I’m not the only person who has been fantasizing about a Designated Survivor-type of situation.

It actually isn’t their job to write your name on the cup. You paid for coffee, they have to give you your coffee, but that’s it. The name is purely a tool to make their job easier, but they can write or not write as they desire.

If someone came to my job acting like a dick trying to get me to do something for their amusement I would refuse too, despite it being easy to accomplish. Just buy your drink like a normal person and keep it moving. No one has time for your mental masturbation.

Conservatism is one thing, and though I disagree with most of it’s tenets, it is a valid system of political beliefs. Xenophobia and bigotry, on the other hand, are vile personality flaws that have no place in a healthy society. Blanket prohibition of immigration rights to an entire socio-religious ethnic group

So his ESSENTIAL point - that we all think the world is shitty, but really it’s getting better and better - is absolutely true.

Duly schmuly.

There’s another aspect which Oliver did not really touch on in his - characteristically hyperbolic - segment: iPhones are used everywhere.

Well... I suppose that’s how its going to be for a lot of people when we get there. Its impossible to seperate humans from their technologies, and we’re going to be ever more integrated with those technologies as time goes on.

It was interesting to watch but extremely disjointed and the end felt meaningless. The girl seems to be able to teleport people—- so what?
