...of the Imperial rulers). There just weren't that many, compared with the number of male rulers. Um, what? Okay, I could take this as an in-joke. After all, two of the I, Claudius actors (Sian Phillips and Patrick Stewart) were in the David Lynch Dune movie. Sian Phillips made an excellent...

I agree completely. And there doesn't seem to be anything we as Americans can do to stop our government from supporting this kind of behavior. What's going on in Gaza is straight up genocide.

...if a new showrunner took over the Simpsons and said "we hear the fans, you liked that the Simpsons was funny and satirical, we're going back to those roots", and then released various episodes in which Homer repeatedly says "my life is funny and satirical" but without any real jokes to back...

She learned English by watching Father Ted

That certainly wasn't onscreen. In the novels, it's suggested Laris did undercover work in Ireland during her Tal Shiar days, though that is also implied to be a joke.

Denying overwhelming evidence seems like a form of mental illness to me and much of it is apparently due to religious fervour - whether actual or adjacent. Some people apparently want to be martyrs to useless causes, In any case, it's not science. In a couple of hundred years time, we might...

I hear you. It can be incredibly frustrating to have people try to debase science. I would say, about 15 years ago when the idea of a flat earth resurfaced, at first I thought these people were joking, that nobody could possibly believe such a thing especially as it's an archaic way of thinking...

Reminds me of a joke that was said during 'The Rat Pack' show (had Jeffrey Combs, Casey Biggs, Vaughn Armstrong, and Nana Visitor) last night at the TREK convention in Orlando. (I'm currently at the final part of the convention now... decided to do this instead of DragonCon this year for...

As someone who grew up in Belgium where the army is a joke and not as massive as the USA, this was interesting. Since the Russian army invaded Ukraine, I started to hate the army. At what point is shooting innocent civilians okay? Especially to satisfy the ego of one men. Just following orders...

Yeah, that's why you wrote the response you did. It's just a common stereotype we have about U.S. standards. Graphic decapitation is okay. Bare breasts aren't. We used to have nudity on public television here, but it's gotten more conservative in recent decades.

I'm not stupid. I knew you were joking, but I didn't find the premise of the joke valid. Just because you think something is a joke doesn't mean it's funny, that it makes sense, or that it's immune from criticism. And it's entirely possible to "get" a joke and still think it's based on a...

That was doubling down because I saw you didn't get it the first time.

Your original line was a joke, but then you added "By today's standards that would give it a harsher rating then back then," which implied you were seriously defending it. So you're sending mixed messages, and that confuses me.

To be clear, I was making a joke about conservative mentality. It wasn't meant to be taken literally.

None of them. Futuristic materials and structural integrity fields!

Granted I was only making a joke, but exactly what ship's nacelle pylons aren't fragile?

I agree for the most part. Biden is someone that was for the most part was hard to make jokes about. You basically have one bit with him not being able to talk well because of his age. But the fact the Democrats tried to cover that up and actual get a second term out of him I think would have...

That's why there isn't Blueberry Coke anymore. That was good. Many years ago I tried a cherry-chocolate variety of cola. It wasn't Coke brand. It was available for a short time at the local convenience store, and I've never found it anywhere else since then (going back about 40 years). They...

That's the joke - take a strange looking character and say he looks like someone from a far-off foreign country, even though in reality he doesn't.

Ugh, isn't that always the way? It's a running joke in my family to not like anything too much, because that's a sure sign it will be discontinued. I haven't seen those around, I wonder if they are regional? Although I think I tried a garlic bread version in a previous year, and wasn't all...
