I've always loved Mace Windu telling someone "your chances come in two sizes: slim and fat" in an old Star Wars Novell called Shatterpoint.

I use "ass hat" and "clusterfuck" regularly.

It's because everything is American politics. There's only two kinds of people in this world: Americans, and Americans who don't yet know they're American. We're just giving the Americans who don't yet know their own little space so they don't annoy us

She really should be disbarred for that statement, since it shows that she is too separated from reality to effectively practice law

That's because Elon Musk invented the the X11 windowing system and Richard Stallman stole it from him, clearly.

I remember reading a while ago that there are people who stand up before wiping, and people who wipe before they stand up, and neither camp can fathom how the other does it. This is giving me that same energy.

Any CEO who opens their mouth about morals should be dragged into the street and shot for criminal hypocrisy.

Because people in power need excuses to hit people they don't like without having to pay weregild for it. That's it, that's the entire purpose of laws. The whole "protecting society" theory is a convenient smokescreen that we've all bought into through generations upon generations of Stockholm syndrome and the fact that we all also want to hit people and be justified in doing so from time to time.

A: you're wrong, Vim over Emacs every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

B: what's so damned hard about alt+f4, open up Google, spend the next two weeks googling Vim lessons and Vim tutors and reading length articles about vim commands, and then finally coming back to Vim just to type :wq?

I believe that's called a "money shift."

Because when you do it, it ends up costing a lot of money because it can grenade engines, transmissions, or both

Hell Comes to Frogtown.

It's an eighties B-movie starring Rowdy Roddy Piper that has a very "started out as a porno before they realized it was even too cheesy and ridiculous for eighties porn and turned it into a sci-fi flick" quality to it, but I love the shit out of that movie and will happily watch it over and over again.

Also, the Super Mario Bros movie. Not the new one, the nineties shitfest with Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo.
