In that case, make sure you're around someone with CPR training again next time too.

With a billion other scandals, I forgot about this one.

No. And neither are the straights. Ask any queer person.

Is this the winning Trump said we'd get tired of?

And then there's Jar-Jar, who is basically doing a minstrel show routine without the blackface.

The Trade Federation aliens were just clearly racist in the original English version. It was a Yellow Peril situation that should *not* have been a thing in movies in the 1990s.

No, disrespect us. Or at least disrespect our Prime Minister who should be telling America to fuck off, but is instead doing this halfway thing where he says he'll only help America for defensive purposes (while letting American bombers land at our Cyprus airbase).

It's taking him a while, because he has to find a way to work the N-word into 18th century European high society.

I wish he would just change parties already.

George Lucas Says He Sold β€˜Star Wars’ to β€˜White Slavers’ In an interview with Charlie Rose, George Lucas calls the "Star Wars" films his "kids" and says he sold them to "white slavers."

Or he's just kind of a bigot.

Yes, the princess is rescued by the love interest's best friend. That's the Hero's Journey Lucas claims he was following to tell the story.

And he "amended" it with one guy.

No, I was very mad. I was so mad about you, whoever you are, not respecting me that I fell right to sleep.

More devastated too.

I'm more devastate than I could ever possibly express that someone I will never meet and likely never talk to again and could not pick me out in a lineup does not respect me.

Goodnight, honeypie.

irony vs. satire vs. sarcasm on Vocabulary.com Irony, satire, and sarcasm all fall into the category of, "That's funny but I'm not sure what my English teacher wants me to call it."

But I will leave you with this, which should help you understand that sarcasm and irony are two different things, whether or not I can analyse a film.

Well my little donut, this has been fun but for some reason even though it's like what, 4 pm in the Caribbean where you claim I live, it's dark here and it's my bedtime and I have to get up and go to work in the morning.

And remember: STAR WARS IS VERY SERIOUS!!!! DO NOT MOCK THE HOLY JEDI!!1!!ONE!

"Is that what you're claiming?" is absolutely a yes or no question.

If you're going to talk about how stupid someone is, it's best to know when there are only two honest answers to a question when posed one.

Irony is not sarcasm, and why don't you know? You said you knew me better than I knew myself. Make up your mind.

11.03.2026 21:02 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

No, I asked if that's what you are claiming. Is that what you are claiming?

It's a yes or no question.

I have no idea who that is, but that looks like grease paint, not hair, and it doesn't come out of a can.

So again, what on Earth are you talking about?

So I'm dead Jeffrey Epstein, a boomer, and somehow I attach hair to my head after spraying it out of a can?

That's what you're claiming?

11.03.2026 21:00 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

So I'm Epstein and I'm typing from beyond the grave? That's what you're claiming?

11.03.2026 20:59 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

No seriously, what on Earth are you talking about? You can't spray hair out of a can. And even if you could, how would it stick?

Wow, you know more about multiple people than they do. And you speak on their behalf.
