Almost all words have developed meanings no longer limited to their etymological origin. It's how language works; it's no big deal.

Ah, I believe girth and mirth and lack thereof come in all combinations: girthy mirthy men, girthy unmirthy men, ungirthy mirthy, you get the idea…

And yet, how many innocents has he killed before? (I think back always to that poor kitchen staff boy…). Well, I suppose guilt adds up over time. (And, of course, in this case perhaps particularly so, given that the victim was in fact directly working to help supply food for the hungry of the world, the exact opposite…

I care about it. It's interesting to me.

I'm the laziest person in the world, and a math PhD drop-out (7 years in, ABD, just had to write up my research and never did it, argh, my great regret). And I was super lazy as a child too. I never did any of my homework or anything.

Jake Peralta is the character Andy Samberg plays on Brooklyn Nine-Nine; it is presumably a joke.

There’s also already a canonical fighter role for a Honda in Street Fighter II!

For what it's worth, the list of identifiably Irish-American comedians I that came quickly to mind was Denis Leary, Colin Quinn, and Conan O'Brien. I'm sure there are others, but it seems weird to call it one of the three main strands of American comedy. It doesn't seem a distinctive, huge tradition on the same level…

"Too much emphasis on social commentary"? What's wrong with social commentary? Isn't that what Black Mirror is all about (examining social trends and illustrating them in heightened, extrapolated form)?

I believe it was mentioned that Earn went to Princeton, but is now on hiatus (or has dropped out for good?) for mysterious reasons.

With Pete Davidson, you mean?

"I guess having to either understand Spanish or actually read subs is too much for the typical American viewer"

But didn't Bos also make a comment earlier to Diane about not much caring for parties anymore? That had nothing to do with guns or any Vietnam PTSD type trigger.

Didn't the episode note that her one remaining block of original code was written in PL/M?

Like which? Do explain for those of us who wouldn't get them either.

Oh! So, along the lines I suspected, then (of not being in the target audience for the Animaniacs after being old enough to watch Goodfellas), but I gather you happened to see the relevant bit of Animaniacs in the end anyway.

I erroneously assumed those already old enough to watch Goodfellas would not bother watching Animaniacs later on. This was wrong. I was wrong! I take it all back!

True, true. I guess I assumed such folks didn't watch Animaniacs when it came out, but the world of possibilities is larger than such naive presumptions.

She didn't say that. A fictional character she portrayed in a TV show said that. She has her annoying qualities, but also annoying is the Internet's constant inability to get this basic point right.

Surely, almost all of us did. Animaniacs being a kid's show and Goodfellas being, well, not.
