A fellow I knew years ago once asked his buddies if a certain, er, "cheating-adjacent" activity actually qualified as cheating. His buddies said no. I said, "Ask your girlfriend." He paled and shrieked, "Don't be a moron, I can't do that!"
So, yup; even he knew it was cheating.

I'd watch George Cloonie playing all the Goonies in George Clooney's Goonies. Even though it sounds kinda loonie.

We need to start using “glid”. I’m okay with adding that to the English language.

I'm Canadian. I see plenty of Americans saying, "So what? We'd take Greenland in a couple of days and then it'll be ours."
How about you explain the consequences of this action. Losing allies and military bases. Being isolated. Turning Europe into rival power. Describe the price the US will pay.

Hitler used to get up and leave in the middle of diplomatic meetings. It was probably seen as a ballsy power move. In reality ... his stomach was perpetually upset and he would leave the room to fart.
In Trump's case it's probably brain flatulence.

Be careful with that! You may not be able to hear it but it'll attract Irish people from miles around.

The climax to that has stayed with me for decades, though I'd long forgotten what Batman story it was from.

This is one of those "plans" that's designed to sound like "Freedom!!!" while screwing over the people who use it.

I love the idea that there are restaurants and cafes in Mordor. It gets better when you consider they might also serve take-out. Or they might deliver.

That was one of those twists that blindsides you and yet makes perfect sense. I did wonder why Tachi tried calling Matsuha after one of their body swap sessions and got a "not in service" message. The twist made the reason obvious. Not to mention unsettling.

Wonderful film. My wife and I watched it recently because you'd mentioned it here. We knew nothing about it going in.
The twist partway through about Mitsuha's fate was a punch in the throat.

Which begs the question: if it's "bad" for DC and Puerto Rico to become states, why does he insist Canada would be the fifty-first state if it joins the US?
