Free speech is nice, but some people seem to think that it includes threats and coercion. After all, I'm free to tell you I'm going to screw up your life unless you do exactly what I say! See, it's just speech! I'm only saying that! People thinking that; well, that's a problem.

The Usual Suspects, naturally. But you have to see it at least twice to realize the ending was perfect.

All I'll say is this is the first time I hear about the van der Waals forces working on any scale larger than the order of magnitude of molecules, but I do admit I haven't checked in a while.

Go far enough north to see the aurora borealis, I think. Then again that's not something I can't do anymore. If we're talking "Missed opportunities"...oh, actually, this one isn't for the public, but it involves taking someone's business proposal and moving overseas with them. That one bites...

If you've got a problem with me, take it up with me. And yeah, I'll continue to be cynical about it. It's not convincing me, and all the attempts to hype it up are only pushing me away, because seriously, sell me the goddamn thing on its merits once it's actually finished, don't try to make me...

Jim, please predict something nice and awesome in the near future. We need it. I mean, the big industry players have been trying to bend us over backwards for a while now, please predict some kind of a force-feedback that will burn their house down! With the lemons!

I hate prophecies. I hate contrived coincidences. I hate any sort of "chosen ones", unless the chooser is present and there's a good reason for why the one is chosen. I also hate plot armor and any villain archetype that isn't pragmatic.

Now, I'm not racist, but... ...I'm pretty sure them blacks just want to live their lives in peace, and aren't happy with looting and rioting going on around where they live, since I can't think of any person that wants their home to be looted and vandalized. I also think they quite rightly...

This is looking worse and worse. First "We're going to shove this on everyone", and now "We want a monopoly". Yeah, sorry, I am leaning more and more towards the "No" side of the fence, and you're not helping with your PR.

A tsundere thread and this didn't make it here yet? Of course while she might be calling herself that, there's only one other character she won't start throwing office appliances (that she somehow happens to be hiding in her skirt) at if they call her it.

Hockey Defense Force, definitely. In fact, I half-suspect that whoever doesn't enjoy hockey is actually a denizen of planet Nohockey in the Hockey-Hating Nebula in disguise! But seriously, no hating on hockey when I'm around, mkaaaay?

Yeah, no. Don't tell me what I want, or what I will want. In fact, don't try to shove anything on me, I'll decide for myself. And if you use the expression "THE FUTURE" at any point in your presentation, you're off my list.

Well, generally when they turn 20 since they're not something-teen anymore. That's literally what it is. A "teenager" is a person who has "-teen" in their age, there's no deeper meaning.

You know what nerdy girls are? They're girls. And girls are people. So...you know, just don't get hung up on the "nerdy" bit. If you're compatible, there's going to be some osmosis between your hobbies one way or another.

Okay, this is bad. Not only are those cops a bunch of racist tossers, they're also a bunch of complete bird-brains with zero foresight. The people policing themselves? That's commendable, but the fact it's necessary is just really bad. Even if this ends, it's going to simmer. Whatever higher...
