Let's just fast forward, shall we?

That's still an advertisement. It's an advertisement for something you're already using to encourage you to use more features of it so they can get analytic data from your usage patterns.

The ATF must be absolutely seething that the FBI is riding roughshod over their jurisdiction, sniping dogs and shooting unarmed people in the back are two of their three core missions. If the FBI starts selling guns to cartels, it'll be a complete usurpation.

Scott added he would say to historians questioning the accuracy of his storytelling:

“Were you there? Oh you weren’t there. Then how do you know?”

Because the people who were there wrote it down, and now we can read it. Scott's line of reasoning is inherently inconsistent because if followed it would mean we have to evidence of Napoleon Bonaparte existing in the first place. Boy is Ridley Scott going to feel dumb when he realizes he made a biopic of a mythical character combined from the real stories of several French generals after the revolution—if there even was a French Revolution, I mean, we weren't there.

Is there anything more embarrassing than people who think they know better than historians and reject the entire discipline of historiography? It's like being anti-vax but extended to everything you don't personally see.

This from the guy who doesn't know how to use his own computer? Don't try to save face.

Which brings it full circle, since the Ghostbusters theme is a ripoff of I Need a New Drug by Huey Lewis and the News

Bravecels are all the same, maybe they get two extra shitcoins every time they shill for it.

^ This statement is an outright admission that they're right.
