We do know that Archer is probably from Utica, or at least not from Albany, given that he's never seen using the phrase "steamed hams" to refer to hamburgers.

I do the same thing in reverse, I live in Zee territory but I always pronounced the ZX Spectrum as Zed-Ex

Because the only thing that unites them is a desire to return to slavery

“It's not the train that's expensive. It's the plane that's not expensive enough,” the CEO of SNCF Jean-Pierre Farandou said in 2021.

i.e. no, train ticket prices aren't going down

Might be indie rock. I'll never forget going to 4chan /mu/ and seeing a guy argue that music should be unpleasant and hard to listen to if you really care about it, because then your opinion on the "sonic experience" isn't being compromised by pleasure, citing the godawful singer of Neutral Milk Hotel as enriching the band more than a good singer would have. Called Death Grips "entry-level" music for tweens before you're ready to graduate to experimental non-melodic field recordings of harsh noise.

If I remember correctly this actually used to be an option in Sync for Reddit, you could disable certain content types. Useful for disabling link posts on image-based subreddits, so the reverse would be true as well. This version is still in beta, and I don't see any such setting yet.

Personally I hope he gets struck by lightning

I don't think it's fair to say Star Wars is stagnant, it's fine the way it is. You could argue it's a shame they never made more than three Star Wars movies, just like how it sucks that there was no Star Trek content produced between the time Voyager ended and Strange New Worlds premiered, but I'm happy we have two high-quality franchises that didn't make embarrassing trash in shameless cash grabs. The only missed opportunity is that we never got a TNG film, it would have been almost impossible to screw up.

but it's unreasonable to let children get any label they ask for. They may ask for genuinely horrific shit.

Usually by little shitheads with MAGA parents. I occasionally inspect the containment instances and have seen more than a few people with neopronouns made out of slurs. People who underestimate the depravity of children are in for a rude awakening when a chinless doughball with a name like Brantlee Klansmyn Tyler insists he's transracial and must be called "nigself" or his mom will sue the school board.

Because it wasn't made by King K. Rool
