I did acknowledge Lebron, and Kobe, and others when I said Kareem is the only one who comes close. That’s their place in that conversation: incidental mention as part of a collective.

While this is all of course incredibly stupid and incredibly reprehensible, I also have to point out the author’s disrespect:

one of the greatest basketball players in history

One of? Jordan is the undisputed greatest of all time and Kareem is the only one who’s even near his level, but it’s not really arguable between them.

Also it isn’t funny. Not in the “boo hoo that’s NOT FUNNY!” crybaby sense, but in the “99.999% of all standup comedy” sense. I’ve heard that in Foreign Lands you can’t pull a prank once the clock strikes noon, or else you are the April fool and presumably get put in a stock and pillory till sundown.

V is easily the weakest TOS movie but it at least still has interesting ideas attempted in it, unlike the completely null achievements of the Next Gen movies. It’s the sixth-best Star Trek movie by a country mile.

Who wouldn’t want to spend money on a physical reminder of Star Trek’s equivalent of The Phantom Menace?

Ha ha “pew research”

Needless to say, any gap time is spent jelqing and mewing while spamming racism online with your other hand.

It’s all part of the grindset.

Those are from the beginning of corporations, we don’t need to look to speculative fiction. The British East India Company waged literal war against rival corporations.

This is your reminder that Tom Clancy wrote a fictional universe in which the United States and Russia actually disarmed all of their ICBMs, and portrayed it as a good thing. He also had the U.S. spending tons of humanitarian dollars on a multi-state partition of Israel and Palestine with an internationally-governed neutral Jerusalem. He had a book where under-regulated capitalism led to a cartel of businessmen taking control of the Japanese government and running it as a rogue state. Possibly my favorite, he wrote the U.S. and Europe spending money like water to foster democracy and civic pride in late '90s Russia, culminating in Russia being admitted into NATO so that the entire global north could be controlled by a proto-state of liberal democracies, putting a check on the expansion of authoritarian powers and hopefully laying the groundwork for a very-long-term dream of a free and democratic world state with no war.

This is someone who was accurately labeled a conservative. They used to be allowed to believe in things like that.

Folly. You’re living proof.

Don’t use inexact language if you don’t mean it. Think carefully— do you mean everything?

Wayne Gretzky’s Fighting Hockey was one of the most expensive games and it was also complete and utter trash, so the tiered pricing isn’t gonna work. $60 is plenty, if the devs need more money I recommend firing executives and filler managers.

I predict that Zahi Hawass is going to ridicule him till the instant it’s unearthed, and then teleport in front of the cameras to receive praise for discovering it.

Oops, you gave it away: that’s what sympathizers said about Hitler invading Czechoslovakia. It’s actually almost verbatim. Don’t tell me you really thought you could fool me.

Let me be clear: your most deeply-held convictions of ideology are, at their fundamental and basal level, craven and shameful. You need to humble yourself and question the bases of your ideas instead of arrogantly persisting in the delusion that your belief system has validity. Your inhumanity is disturbing.
