While that was hilarious, I must humbly - yet strongly - disagree.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGvblGCD7qM - 1m40s in when Dark Helmet throws the mic away does it for me. But my favorite joke - not the best, but my favorite - because I didn’t catch it the first hundred times I saw - is also in this clip at 2m20s where Dark Helmet taps Colonel Sandurz on the chest - who looks at the hand, the camera, realizes it’s coming in, and backs out of the shot. That’s just… oh man, that is like the pinnacle of the detailed thought that went into a very very silly movie.

So many movies just throw actors out there and get them to improv, and that can be great. But the sheer density of hilarity in Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstien and others… it’s just a beautiful thing. When it feels like 75% of the movie is quotable. lol

So I don’t disagree that the Virgin Alarm was great, but I think the above clip is ten times better. But you’re allowed to reverse that rating for you, of course. Long as you and I love the movie, I’m satisfied. :)

requels

Requels suck. We already quelled enough the first time! :)

I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t exit vim.

I bet this comment actually pissed off some people. Lol

Failures are making occasional news, but bots are getting better at walking. Doing useful tasks will be a few more years, but I think it’s coming.

You don’t have to listen to them, just like you don’t have to be a prick about it.

And knots per hour per hour would be a measure of ever-increasing acceleration, so this is getting out of hand quickly now :)

Being a prick is not a reason to be proud.

Alas, Iran treats their citizens like shit, so about the same give or take on some fronts. heh

Someone earlier said there are no winners in this war, and I’m really inclined to agree.

fact that people have been using that

The way language works is that people use things and they become correct.

There’s things I hate, too, like “yea” now being a spelling for “yeah”. But it’s useless to fight it.

All you’re doing is being a grammar nazi to someone who at most said the equivalent of “$30 million dollars”, which is technically, thanks to the dollar sign, “thirty million dollars dollars”.

You knew what they meant. I knew what they meant. Everyone knew what they meant. There was absolutely zero ambiguity, so you just come off looking like a prick.

That works for expensive drones, but not so much for the tiny ones that are ubiquitous on front lines.

The more remote the comms, the higher the ability to interfere. And someone will always have to be close to launch drones with limited range.

Aye, sure, but I can also face it now, too. Like I used to face existential dread. I still do,but I used to, too. :D

Maybe the existential dread killed me early… :)

AHHH THE WORLD IS ENDINGGGGGGGGGGG

Retard is used to describe the slowing

That word, the verb, is pronounced “ree-TARD”. The “R” word is “REE-tard”.

In the same way that “negro” (NEH-gro) in some languages means black and is perfectly fine, and the same way that Niger (american “NIE-jur” or original “nee-ZHER” is also fine.

I already made my argument and explicitely said I would not debate, but I will simply reiterate: I don’t care about words that USED to be offensive or words that MIGHT ONE DAY be offensive, the “R” word is offensive NOW.

Doubling-down like that is your right, but you are stupidly divorced from reality. I don’t tolerate ablelist bigotry. Goodbye.

Fuckin’ awesome! <3

Blocked. I don’t fuck around with white supremacist bullshit.

In brief, the people I’m talking about ARE almost all old white men. It just shows who you are that you leap to defend them.
