That's why I ask if they want the full in depth explanation or the short one. Well it happened once during Dune so far, she asked for the full one. I can't even recall the question but she thought it made more sense after at least, maybe to do with blade fighting and shields, they really hammer it in the novels. Though to be fair any Dune explanation sounds better from the books than either movie, okay I haven't seen the last half of Lynch's Dune in decades but the first half didn't explain things well so I don't expect the last half to be better from my fuzzy memory.

Dune may be a bit of a special case compared to the franchises listed too.

I don't have much to say on Horgan but I have usually voted NDP for BC elections so I voted for him in the past.

Regarding Star Trek I imagine there's some correlation for liberal views and Star Trek but it probably comes down to how you watch it. I recall seeing either a meme format or article about Dax's (Deep Space 9 episode for those unfamiliar) female kiss and apparently they got a lot of people calling in with hate for it. The other part was the people who wrote in tended to show support for the scene. So it seems like it comes down to how you view what you watch. I'm not sure what impact the series has on me exactly but I do know I like how the TNG makes their ideals look and I watched it every Friday(think that was the day) that I could when it was new.

Hah the team behind the guy running who says he's a billionaire, backed by the other billionaire, is complaining that Democrats have all the money in the race. Like are you wealthy or not? (I'm pretty sure that's obvious at this point) Is there a personal limit a person can spend on their own campaign? If so I take back half the laughs till later.

I bet another big reason is that he can hold rallies and get his narcissistic high. Has to be awesome for a narcissist to hold events where people are there just to hear him ramble.

Every accusation.. etc etc. I'm sure the being that pretends to be a human as Cruz is just melding into the Republican patterns.

If you can't beat 'em, swallow them.

I misread, I thought they said anyone listening while on transit not just anyone period. Makes more sense now.

Maybe he shouldn't have raged so much to wear them out faster. Being calm all the time (from his theory) could've easily extended his life a decade or two. Mean it's probably not a lot of energy at a time but he's always raging at something it must be draining.

Not who you replied to but I'm sure you don't blast music or other audio on transit when you need the break.

Trump has said he's never had anything to ask God for forgiveness about (something very similar if not that), he pushed his lies with a hurricane and drew a sharpie on a map to show he was correct (he wasn't) and I'm pretty sure that's all it took to get him on board to dissolve that federal service.

Just recently he was given an award in Michigan where he previously claimed he was awarded Michigan man of the year, I'm sure his narcissism was behind that so he can say he won an award from there.

While president there was a press event at four seasons total landscaping because Trump said there was a press conference at the' four seasons' (during the pandemic of all times).

How anyone can think someone who can't admit any fault is a leader is beyond me. Sure he tells people it's okay to be a racist asshole but do you want to march into Marianas Trench because he thought that's where the front line is?

They were probably spread it on right wing sites to reinforce to those voters they shouldn't vote for the Dems, just in case they were thinking 'maybe I shouldn't vote for the asshole that acts like a toddler and fucked up a pandemic response when there was a good plan?' Nope next vp has abuse claims so you can't vote for them, and they are all happy with being angry anyways so it's a win.

Ugh I hate how much it seems plausible, it's like a badly written movie plot that no one would think could happen if it was the 90s, even early 00s.

Holy crap I had no idea it was an actual anniversary! I just think in pop culture bits (memes). Neat. I so remember the first time watching it in the early teens, Tarantino can sure write fun random dialogue also sure was fun seeing Travolta be awesome again at the time after the baby movies. Not that I didn't enjoy Look Who's Talking,at the time, but who remembers those after Pulp Fiction for Travolta?
