There are some pretty great American Dad episodes in there but I think his creative involvement there is pretty minimal.

Same, that's why I always dress for the job I want (god king of persia).

I enjoy the implication that the master sword getting fucked up makes it bigger somehow

Not a dunk, just think it's funny to refer to anything related to jesus (the central figure of the biggest cultural institution on earth) as "failed."

"Jesus was the leader of a failed cult" I say in a world where our central global timekeeping method is "years that have passed since the birth of Jesus."

I do think i'm coming down on the side of the fence of platner simply being world-historical stupid, which is also a great reason not to vote for him in the primary.

I am a hundred times more anxious about being the wrong kind of man than I am about being the wrong kind of white person, and the quest to be the right kind of man is sysiphean while being the right kind of white person is honestly kind of easy.

Gender, always gender.

At least back during the time when this shit mattered to me, boys were socially punished for wearing/liking/using girl colors but not vice-versa. This is ultimately an extension of patriarchy (femininity being seen as weak) but in a manner that ultimately restricts boys' freedom.

I chose the AI on the second question but then I saw the hidden "it's not x---it's y."

Aunt Hannah dying was all part of God's plan. See, Hannah was an expert safe-cracker, and God needs someone on the inside if he's ever going to steal fifty million dollars worth of diamonds from Satan's vault.

Has there ever been a scene in a show where somebody is trying to access somebody else's computer and is trying to guess the password with the names of spouses and childhood pets but don't get in because the password was just like ShoeFinancial8762! or something?

It's weird that the second edition leans *away* from the humor, but maybe that's actually its magic. Looking like a serious technical guide for small boat captains but with an all-timer title.

I read the book's wikipedia page. The first edition came with a subtitle. "How to Avoid Huge Ships, or: I Never Met a Ship I Liked."

This one made me think "this was okay, but I really wish someone would make an adaptation of FRANKENSTEIN by Mary Shelley."

This could all have avoided had they only read Theory.

Right. The guy clearly deranges everyone he comes across, the solution is to remove the mass deranger.

A four panel meme from The Avengers End Game where Gamora asks Thanos if he accomplished his goals and what it cost. He replies he did and it cost him everything 

I changed it so Gamora is asking if he got to pretend it was socially acceptable to call things β€œretarded” again, Thanos answers yes and it cost him everything. Literally. He says he’s eating dog food and asks a toddler Gamora if he can borrow $100

I do think we should probably treat guys throwing bombs at Jake Lang while saying ISIS slogans with the same credulity as two guys in MAGA hats attacking Jussie Smollett with the noose they happen to be carrying around with them because they recognize him from his work on Empire.
