Former optician here. I definitely saw a lot of optometrists who were reluctant to hand over a prescription - in one case, they wanted the customer to provide a written statement for why they wanted their prescription before they’d hand it over.

There are several fights like that! You fight Wiseman, who turns out to be Kahn Wong, Fei’s father, and several times you fight Grahf, who is actually the still-living body of the previous incarnation of the Contact... and both of those dudes are in the same body, because Xenogears believes in the existence of the…

And brutally! He uses the shattered sword his actual father forged, and hacks Thulsa Doom’s head from his neck. He doesn’t do it in one clean cut, either - he has to hack at it a few times to get it off.

Then he throws the severed head at Thulsa Doom’s horrified cultists, who basically just turn and walk away in…

Wasn’t she one of the Mandalorians working with Bo Katan in that episode?

10-ply and super-soft are references to Letterkenny, a show Ed Norton loves.  They’re supposed to imply the opposite of ‘tough’ or ‘strong’.

I mean, he’s definitely killed someone, right?

Recent studies suggest the prefrontal cortex may not fully form until 27!

I think I may have been one of those, I had some real issues with decision making in my twenties.

I think you mean hologram.

I think one of the primary sources of this line of thought is the merger between Boeing and McDonnell-Douglas. Prior to that, MD was known for letting R&D and manufacturing costs dictate quality and innovation (or a lack of innovation - MD was stuck with prop planes for a long time because they wouldn’t innovate their…

Man, talk to your doctor about Xanax today.

Michael Moore is an idiot. Wind and solar do have carbon footprints, but they’re not nearly as great as natural gas, even factoring in the manufacturing process. Don’t get your info from his shoddy documentaries.

That being said, nuclear energy is a perfectly acceptable way of generating energy and is going to be…

I was really confused about this statement until I realized you were referring to the place in England called Devon, and not to the Devonian geological period.

I am sure, in the miserable annals of the Earth, you will be duly enshrined!

I thought “Frequently Asked Questions about Time Travel” was pretty decent.

I think in this instance Homelander is the Republican Party, and Stormfront is Trump - I think we’re going to see Stormfront go away eventually, but not before she turns Homelander into the sort of authoritarian Nazi figure that she is, essentially turning him from a bland All-American figure into... well, I think we…

The example you are listing makes no sense, because the presumably they would have signed an employment contract with a job description. I have no doubt that there are a few conservative Christians who work at Planned Parenthood, and as long as it doesn’t affect their work, I don’t think their employment should…

Looks like Spielberg CGed in a walkie-talkie instead

Haven’t they been sued several times over the past ten years for hiring discrimination?

Man, NASA’s never going to live that shit down

Haha, no problem!  That’s been the main way for me to consume old episodes of Star Trek.  I actually added about three or four different series to a playlist and I just shuffle that, which gives me a decent variety but still lets me skip to the next one if I get something I really don’t want to watch.
