You're ok with little planes flying through hyperspace but draw the line at space hacking, lol

On the contrary, Luke Skywalker taking a lucky shot

Man that's like the ONE THING that I totally give star wars a pass for. It wasn't a lucky shot. The design flaw was there, yes, but the targeting computer was never going to work. Red leader had a lock and it still didn't work. Wedge Antilles, the best non-Jedi starfighter pilot in the galaxy, expressed strong doubt at least two or three times. Luke had to use the force to destroy it, there was no other way. If you can suspend your disbelief to accept the existence of the force, it makes perfect sense in the context of the story. Fucking masterpiece!

Ever seen Primer? Equal and opposite to that, easily the most confusing movie I've ever seen and they don't spoon feed you anything, lol

That's why I always have my criminal conspiracy meetings at Starbucks or Wendy's.

The pseudo-realism in those batman movies and comic book movies in general is a huge part of why I detest them. It's like an uncanny gap or something. Comic book characters are inherently ridiculous and absurd so I can't take them seriously. They ask me to suspend too much disbelief.

One specific example from the batman movies is at the end of one of them, I forget which, I think a few hundred cops charge a bunch of guys with machine guns or something? And I remember thinking in the theater they are about to get mowed down World War I style. But somehow they win, they all live, and the streets aren't flowing with a river of blood. You want me to take them seriously, while having absurd characters and situations, and then you put them in situations where they absolutely should be massacred..I just..I'm out..

The USA is run by unpaid 22 year old interns being supervised by underpaid 24 year olds.

Old people in charge are definitely a problem (McConnell, Feinstein etc) but the people in their offices doing all the heavy lifting are basically children.

I'm always disgusted with tv ads and it blows me away that people just let commercials scream at them all day to buy viagra, anal leakage meds, insurance etc. Why would you let that shit in your home? Ugh

The guy got up on stage ON ELECTION NIGHT before the votes had even been counted and started screaming about fraud. I remember Mike Huckabee on CNN condemning it, as well as the Faux News team covering it, because it was just unthinkable. Then they got their story straight and remembered who's ass their tongue is buried in, and fell in line. Bunch of traitors, the lot of them.

It's really unattractive to be so obsessed with your ex months after getting into a new relationship with Lemmy. Can we move on please?

I was hitting it off with my new neighbor and he said something like I'm glad you're cool like one of us [40 something white heterosexual cis men] because we're under attack nudge nudge wink wink. I'm good, later man.

Ask a democrat what they want and they say affordable healthcare, housing, education, social mobility, better work hours and wages; you know, better quality of life in general.

Ask a republican what they want and they'll say 'hurkdydurk I'm 'onna kill me some lib'rals durrr' like this guy. I literally think he may have drooled on himself while slurring that sentence out.
