Tell that to The Doctor! /s

It was long after the reunion which I realized this and I feel ashamed for all times I’ve rewatched the series since.

I watched a lot of it back in the day and by like season 10 (I have no clue how long it ran) I realized it was super boring and bad. There would be jokes as lame as “dude owns a Nintendo 64”. That was the entirety of the joke.

Also there is a long running arc about a main character who is physically incapable of talking to women unless he is intoxicated (aka alcohol).

What’s the matter? Don’t you like me? I’m your girl?

I am so excited!!! I am so excited to show up in uniform, eat some hasperat, drink some bloodwine and see the D! Got myself a PIC season 3 uniform just for this.

Harvard is still 100% in the wrong here. Treating all speech critical of the Israeli state as antisemitism is not the same as hatred for the Jewish people.

Look Starbucks owes Peet’s everything. That company started off buying from Peet’s.

Like I said, just 1%. I should have said it wouldn’t be good if CPB grants stopped coming. I’m just more upset that the direct line of attack misunderstands what is really happening. These organizations are very important. To blatantly say Congress funds them isn’t just incorrect but potentially harmful to how other organizations that rely on outside money are treated.

Off the top of my head I don’t know if PBS (likely the same as NPR) but NPR is not funded by fucking Congress!!! You fucking idiots don’t know what Congress does or does not fund. NPR gets grants from CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) which was created by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, which LBJ signed into law. CPB only accounts for 1% of NPR’s annual budget.

If the dumbass wants something legitimate to complain about, then complain about what CPB gives grants for.

EDIT: I realize the article mentions CPB, and I clearly wrote this before reading it. My point stands. Congress does not allocate any money directly to either NPR or PBS. If these cultural institutions are going to be attacked by clueless people, someone better be explaining what they got wrong.

It’s a Bay Area company. They aren’t all over the U.S. According to a map on their website there are 286. Approximately 47.5% are located in the Bay Area.

Well they have been caught multiple times buying from slave labor farms in Brazil, buying from a farm with child labor in Guatemala and possibly contributing to the decline of commodity prices in 2019 (which was under a $1).

Does he know what a recession is? Genuinely asking. That would help understand this response.

Uh… I regret this.

Little Saddie… in the ass.

By that logic they saw a god. But I’d ask if they need a starship first. Then that would confirm if they were a god.

No, and that is based on the novel Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfar which people thought was a rip off of Project Haily Mary by Andy Weir (which I read and loved). When the trailer for Spaceman was released, Weir had to go on social media and tell fans Spaceman of Bohemia was published before his novel.

EDIT: I did not read Spaceman of Bohemia.

Or worse, you meet the super intelligent giant spider your human ancestor left behind, and you accidentally start a war with them because no one realizes the computer on the ancient satellite is made to behave like the project founder is trying to make first contact.

EDIT: If you haven’t figured it out, I’m describing the novel Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

But that isn’t a Meta company.

And there is a big chance those of us clearly not on there can’t see them post about that denial.
