Eagerly awaiting part 2 while I try to recall the original storyline without rolling my eyes too hard.

Sure, but I have to imagine it was written with currently-alive kids in mind, not the not-yet-conceived. Now get off my lawn.

E.T. came out in 1982. The oldest millennials would have been 2 years old. It’s a Gen-X movie. The rest of the text holds up tho.

I think it was the black guy more than the tan suit that they took exception to.

Not true. I just shouted “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME” and now people are looking in my direction and whispering.

It acts as a shock absorber for its brain.

The ponies I’ve met have all been right bastards, so this tracks.

Oh wow. I just re-read Drexler’s Radical Abundance recently after coming across an ancient job application I sent in to his lab like 25 years ago (I didn’t get it). I sort of assumed by this point I wouldn’t see real progress in my lifetime.

It’s much harder to arrest someone for “normal reaction “

democrat + extensive brain damage = republican

Amazing. I’m not sure why I’m surprised.

I always wondered how they made pants that do this. Normally if you stretch material across two points it flattens across the span. Is this material just so thin that it doesn’t? Do they put a seam or darts in to intentionally pull it into the crack?

Cars with big numbers aren’t really about performance, they’re about being performative. They’re entries in a dick-measuring contest.

If they have marching armies of weaponized death machines they will also definitely have unlicensed nuclear reactors.

Not once they have private armies of killer robots.
