The bZ4X is pretty shitty, but poking a hole in the battery to turn it into a rocket seems a little excessive

I’m a big fan of the Transwarp Blend, if you know what I mean

I mean, I was 5 at the time

Pattern recognition and its consequences

the cute feeeeeeeeemale

I grew up Catholic and my family was so racist that when I thought Judas was the main figure in Judaism (like how “Christ” is the Main Character in “Christianity”), nobody corrected me for like 3 or 4 years.

Bottom line, if your best friend introduces you to a dude named Zander or Parrish or whatever and said dude immediately starts freaking out and claiming that your Magic: The Gathering Revised Edition Pestilence card burned his hand with the power of Satan, and oh by the way would you like to come to our study group where we play ping pong and eat pizza, THERE IS NO PIZZA. THE PIZZA IS A LIE.

…I’m still pissed off at that weirdo cult for taking my friend away from me. It’s hard to take someone seriously after you’ve seen him – and a room full of other teenagers – pretend to speak in tongues for half an hour while a keyboard player holds a drone chord in a shitty P&W song.

I telecommute whenever possible specifically to avoid those dipshits. One in particular is a chronic crop-duster and will stand there and spew Trump-isms while smelling like he shat his pants. Instead of “power-cycling a server” or “restarting a webservice,” it’s “draining the swamp.” He ends every thought with “Right? …Right?” like he’s a late night talkshow host and we’re supposed to cue up a laugh track and clap like seals after he just rambled incoherently for 7 minutes on a Zoom call. What takes it from “eyeroll-worthy” to “I hope you buy a Tesla and it takes you on a swift trip to Valhalla” is the casual and not-so-casual misogyny. Main highlights that I can think of off the top of my head are blurting out, “WULL THAT SEEMS ABOUT AS USEFUL AS A DEGREE IN WOMEN’S STUDIES! HAR HAR HAR” and ranting about the corporate dress code being amended to allow women to wear leggings at the office. His take on The Boys, though? Homelander is so cool! He’s the hero!

They’re probably thinking of S03E06 or S04E03. It definitely starts to suffer from “prestige TV” anti-spoilers pacing, where a lot of random subplot antics might be ongoing, but the main arc just stalls out for the first 6 episodes or so AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PLOT MOVES (but not that much), etc., so all the showrunners have in the interim is gross-out gags. They painted themselves into a corner pretty early on and had to keep ratcheting up the ick factor to outdo themselves every other episode, so it gets into some deeply fucked up territory very, very quickly.

I thought it was fine. I came into it with low expectations, and found myself binge-watching all four seasons over a couple of weeks. Bottom line, it’s self-aware capeshit that lampoons the fash and its own capitalist overlords to the extent that it’s allowed (something something subsuming critiques of capital unto itself), and is about as crass as your average early 2000’s Vince Vaughan or Tom Green summer gross-out flick (well, maybe on the same level as Van Wilder). The writers seem to be well aware of this because they skip breaking the fourth wall and start kicking down walls we didn’t even know we had yet, e.g.:

I thought it was pretty hilarious when they did that, but also when the incels still didn’t get the hint after being beaten over the head with it. I have at least two techbro coworkers like this.

Seconded. I lost my shit at that scene in S01E05 when Ezekiel did the televangelist youth pastor bit because it was entirely too accurate. It was just missing “Our God is an Awesome God” and the Treatler Youth promising you free pizza and then you get there and there’s no free pizza.

I was gonna say, this is just but with trashy Mormon flair

This is a Wizards WIth Guns parody vid, right?

…This is a Wizards WIth Guns parody vid, right…?

Whenever I used to make fun of s for “no step on snek,” I would add, under my breath, “except for Plissken.”

I still do, but I used to, too.

“You can’t just point at everything and say it’s ‘Assad!’ That’s not how this works! That’s not how any of this works!”

“Assad.”

CW for ableist slur, please

At that rate, probably throw in some bell hooks and Feinberg texts while we’re at it

This is why it’s every comrade’s civic duty that, in the event that you are presented with a functioning time machine, you go back and let Stalin know that the US only had materials to build two nukes, and they’d just used both of them.

stalin did a lot of bad shit, and made many, many, mistakes

1. Stopping at Berlin

That’s the cameo I was talking about. I was trying not to spoil it.
