“The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”

-1797 Treaty of Tripoli begun by George, signed by John Adams and ratified by the Senate.

Ironically, expecting Americans to know their history is like expecting Christians to have read the entire bible.

3 Body Problem has an interesting take on this. Faster than light travel is not possible but communication is, meaning we’re anxiously preparing for an alien war that won’t happen for 400 years but they can see everything we do in real time thanks to quantum entanglement.

Sure but can you put a value on all the vacations the executives took by outsourcing our production? Won’t someone think of the private jets?!

Distracted drivers are a serious problem in more ways than one. A couple weeks ago I was 2nd in line at a red light, only us 2 in that lane and several more in the other. An ambulance drove up behind us flashing and it was immediately clear the shortest path through the intersection was for our 2 cars to clear out. I put on my hazards and starting alternating lights and horn, while the person ahead sat blithely scrolling through their phone while the ambulance and I were both laying on the horn and didn’t move until the light turned green. Even then, didn’t pull aside so the bus had to weave around him. The lack of situational awareness and empathy on the road is sadly lacking.

Yeah aside from Blade it was the first R rated superhero film, someone with powers saying “fuck” and making legging jokes was edgier than anything else in the genre at the time

Boston is wonderful, every other door has booze behind it. You can stumble down the street and somehow end up in the same place everywhere you go.

Turning every meeting into the email it should have been will also speed things up

Border patrol can get fucked too with that 200 mile inland nonsense.

They’re still trying to draw and quarter our man Luigi, where the hell is Mario?

I’ve only seen the first recently as a Xmas movie every year but it’s in them all I guess so we’re both right

I am certain that every sailor who had to cover up McCains name on the ship for his visit would love to see him waterboarded in a Vietnamese prison camp.
