It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

we’re going to have to make some kind of Rosetta Stone for future people to even be able to conceptualize what they are seeing from this period of time because it is so far removed from normal human thoughts and emotions

If there’s one thing that doesn’t create extremists, it’s giving under educated persons unlimited Internet access.

even if you wanted to be coldly cynical about it, you could pretty trivially evac everyone sitting on the tarmac over a matter of weeks, get them to a military base, process them to find that they don't have a visa, and then ship them back and drop them off at gunpoint after all the american news media orgs have packed up and left. it really is just sheer caprice

No the coldly cynical take is that everyone from the pilots to the ground troops to the ATC who cleared the takeoff followed their SOPs to the letter and the severed limbs in the hydraulics will be marked in a report as "Human Error - Unauthorized Passenger"

It's extremely funny that they changed the ending from Rambo dying to getting 4 more movies of going back to war. American audiences are babies that want their bottles.

i saw three kings for the first time this year and the funniest takeaway is that the moral of the movie is that desert storm was a just war but the real crime was not leaving a permanent occupying force
