There are certain things people say that should be banned:

  • When saying that you haven't done or seen something in a while, don't say "a minute" instead. I will ask what happened sixty seconds ago and make you a fool.
  • When talking about where you live, you don't "stay at", you live at a place.
  • And being afraid of the word "moist" makes you sound like a toddler who doesn't want a bath.
  • One more, "amaze-balls" and "automagic" are not words and make you sound like a toddler who doesn't want a bath.

Can you give me an example of the first two points? I haven't encountered that colloquialism yet. I've heard "a hot minute," which is clearly a just a figure of speech and would be absurd to ridicule, but it sounds like you're talking about something else. I just don't understand the second. I'm absolutely certain there's some slang being used in circles I don't frequent, so I'm not questioning you, I'm just curious. What's the hip new slang, dog?

I admit to using amaze-balls. So does my wife, sometimes. It's an amaze-balls term.

When talking about where you live, you don’t “stay at”, you live at a place.

Perhaps a social critique of our post-capitalist hellscape? We no longer "live" anywhere. We just stay places.

. No matter how intelligent a person is, they can still make the simplest mistakes for their entire lives, because they stick by of what they've learned and die on that hill.

. Black holes will be proven to not exist. And in the list of cosmological errors, that's the most obvious one. [edit] What people are observing, at least for the "stellar sized black holes", are UV/X-ray/Gamma ray stars, much like there are red stars and blue stars. [/edit]

. For what it implies, Star Trek is far more evil than Star Wars despite all the anti-war rhetoric and perpetual war of the latter, as the former implies "Marx was wrong, Fourier was right. We CAN have a socialist utopia quietly evolved from an empire that began as a group of slave owners on stolen land with the flag of an oligarchic spice and slave trade corporation, who decided that a small sales tax, where most countries have VAT, on a single good, one that turns hot water into a tasty drink, was theft and so they decided that "this means war" and called for independence. Then a few decades later they created a manifesto saying that half the continent and more is simply theirs because they're so exceptional. The empire with the two-party system to ensure the purest form of kleptocracy, an ingenious way to silence dissent and perpetual struggle, moreso than any dictatorship empire has tried in the past.
The continuation of THIS empire, the empire of deception, is the one taking over the galaxy, destined to seize the entire universe because they're so enlightened as said by one of the gods in the Star Trek universe." And no, STD and Picard doesn't do it any justice. Star Trek doesn't tell why the Federation is or isn't progressive. At least Star Wars explained how the Republic collapsed as a queen appointed a harebrained mudskipper to be her representitive in case she was absent, who then got manipulated into giving a tyrant unchecked power.

I mean realistically it would have happened without jar jar anyhow. Palpatine wasn't gonna give up because he lost an election by a single vote.

I've said it somewhere earlier today, I'll say it again here. I think Windows XP was bad, and that Vista was good.

But Windows in general is still absolute rubbish anyway.
