I call all of it “sugar water” so that my kids know the two main ingredients.

Fortnite? My kids don’t play it anymore, I don’t know.

His argument is: 16 hours daily use is not addiction IF THAT IS THE ONLY FACTOR. He repeats it again and again. But that argument is stupid, because it ignores the other well-known and proven variables of addiction. Does this behavior have serious effects on your mental and physical health? Does it interrupt your work and play? Do you have an obsessive need to do it? The list goes on.

Who put this genius in front of a microphone?

This is for the 30-55 year old demo, for sure. Young enough that you had to learn to keep pace with technology and old enough that devices your kids use are mostly plug and play. Bit at what cost? AT WHAT COST?

That can’t be true, it’s just for satire, right? Right?

It’s pedophiles all the way down…

No one had to invent a cheese pizza scandal or any other far flung theory, it’s happening with photographic and documented proof right before everyone’s eyes. I know that right-wingers have a strict in-group vs out-group ideology, but when your in-group includes SO MANY known pedophiles… I mean, c’mon.

Don’t worry, even the cast forgot this was a plot point.

Was it Terry Ferrel that was in the pilot episode of US Red Dwarf? It never went anywhere, but I think it was her.

Those of us possibly even older may point to the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in '87. From Wikipedia, the fairness doctrine “required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints.” In short, it’s repeal paved the way for Fox News and led all the way to CBS under Weiss.

But to your point, there are 3 things on my platform that I tell anyone who wants to hear it. 3 actionable items:

1. Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.
2. Repeal the Patriot Act.
3. Overturn Citizens United.

I didn’t say it would be easy.

I agree, which is why I don’t see why people are saying the answer is 16. You add in the parentheses, you multiply, then you divide. The answer is 1.

This left-to-right business linked below is complete nonsense when it comes to equations. That’s how westerners read books, but not how math is communicated. Am I that old? Like Mr. Incredible said, did they change math!?!

Luckovich is a badass.

“I didn’t say she was crazy, I said she was fucking Goofy!”

So, she shares a name with The Walrus of Love himself, Barry White. Cool. There’s a joke in there somewhere…

Excellent point!

In Star Trek, their run-of-the-mill, rarely discussed deflector is doing way more work than anything in the Star Wars universe. The one exception is the world-ender planet lasers which have been a big plot point in too many films and STILL have no plausible means to exist IN THEIR OwN UNIVERSE!

I hope they licensed this footage appropriately and paid the voice actors scale, but I’d bet good money they didn’t.

I definitely felt the trauma of that time coming back and felt like crying at the end just due to the release of it all.
