Are you sure about Giant Bomb? AFAIK Jess, Jason, and Bailey were all laid off by Fandom. The GB crew even spoke about being caught off-guard both times, and how bad they thought those layoff decisions were.

Cheers. Every weeknight, walking down the hallway to the sound of "Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got..."

Did everyone responding to you miss the FrenWorld drama at Reddit a few years back? It was thinly-veiled racism disguised as friendly comics. It was finally banned for both that and glorifying violence.

I think it's because they're quoting her use of the word. But I agree it's almost indistinguishable from scare quotes when used around a single word like that.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Supposedly a lung infection caused by inhaling very fine volcano dust. Technically invented by a group of word puzzle fans, but it's appeared in dictionaries.

This might also be the first time since I learned it (30+ years ago) that it's been even close to relevant in a conversation.

No one said Starship Troopers yet? This is the trailer I remember most back then. Just a lighthearted fun action movie about blasting aliens, right?
