Most unrealistic part of the movie, and by god I'm including TIME TRAVEL, is that Scotty would be both dismissive of and insanely good at keyboarding text entry and use of a 1980s computer. Either he'd be pissed off because because there was no way to use this antique, or he'd be delighted at the chance to use his historical reenactment skills.
And Australia, at least when they're not trying to suck up to the British.
Between the thousands of years of semi-selective breeding and the parallel evolution that made our ancestors want the selective breeding to happen, the emotional compatibility between dogs and humans is amazing. They're not humans of course, and we do well to remember that, but the connection is eerie, and when you see a dog display that kind of pack/family oriented behavior, it's heartwarming.
We have a dogsitter when we are on trips. According to her, our heeler would politely take blueberries that were offered and then wander off, returning not long after. It was only later that she found a stash of uneaten blueberries on the couch. My little man was a desperately skinny and frightened stray in a kill shelter before he came to us, and on the theory that whatever makes him feel safe and content is better than the alternative, he's, uhhh, put on weight. If he liked the blueberries, they would not be left on the couch.
- The Office (US) could have ended at the proposal in the rain.
- The Office should have ended at the wedding in Niagara.
- Dear god why didn't The Office end when Michael left?
The squishy humanities version of this, in America at least, goes as follows:
In grade school you learn that the Civil War was about slavery.
In high school you learn that the Civil War was about a lot of complicated things.
In college you learn that the Civil War was about slavery.
There's also a reason that the "legitimate nerds" in show business become such cult favorites. The overlap of (1) "people who look like professional actors" and (2) "people who are believable while acting" and (3) "people who legitimately get into the fake logic of technobabble" is vanishingly small. If you are on a Trek show and not in that intersection, pretending to be a 3 is going to be one of the biggest challenges in pulling off 2 to your expected standards.
To cross franchises for a moment, "you can write this shit George, but you can't say it."
Be careful. The word only took on its perjorative meaning because of the connection to various groups of special needs people. Before then, the noun form was pretty much nonexistent, and the adjective and verb forms were boring latinate terms meaning "slow(ed) down."
That's absurd! Assuming 4 billion in actual startup costs, at the purchase price they could only afford to do that for...
four hundred million people. LOL.
Jesus this was a dumb transaction.
A prominent social media app was the evidence for, and partial cause of, her malpractice. It's very much a story about the cultural impact of tech.
Rogan had RFKjr on his show spouting anti-vax nonsense for three hours, they were called out by a scientist involved with developing COVID vaccines, and then they piled on when said scientist refused to "debate" RFKjr on the podcast.
I thought I had NSFW turned off... 🤣
