They think when the chaos hits they'll be the ones climbing the ladder instead of the ones being used as a ladder.

I could be entirely wrong about this but isn't it in-universe lore that Elves don't see the curvature of the world and that's how they can see so far?

George Jetson was able to support his whole family off his single job working one hour a day, two days a week and his job was to just push a button.

The people in the past were Incredibly optimistic about the future.

That's what I'm hoping for as well. The Switch is a great console and the only thing it really needs is upgraded hardware.

I don't know how relevant this is to you but I was looking at getting a Boox since it would easily let me read my Kindle and Kobo books on a single device without any hassle. However, it achieves this by running their apps so the books are segregated. There's no one library with all your books. Your Kindle books are only on the Kindle app, your Kobo books are only on the Kobo app, your library books are only on the Libby app.

It sounded really tedious to have to flip between a bunch of different apps to track all my books so I decided to just stick with Kobo.

Her quote never really felt that outrageous. She wasn't even calling all Trump supporters "deplorable". Here's her quote

“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.” She said the other half of Trump’s supporters “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change.” “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well,” she said.

Wasn't he powerless in the episode he was afraid of Guinan? Maybe he was worried she would use the opportunity to get revenge.

The least they could have done was give him a chair.

Strippers don't rotate around the pole. The pole itself is rotating.

If I was a corrupt Russian general, embezzling funds meant for nuclear deterrence upkeep would be a pretty safe bet since they are the weapons least likely to ever be used and thus least likely to be found out.

That's exactly what I thought as well from reading the headline. It definitely could have been worded better.

I thought it said "his shole had teeth" and it took me awhile to both notice the B and to really be it was for censorship.
