Paging Timothy Dexter

Literacy has betrayed me again

I’d spend half on hookers and blow, the other half I’d just waste

I’ve never heard the word hebophile and I bet a lot of people haven’t either. Sometimes when unfamiliar words are introduced as part of a story or event, they become a central part of that story and forever linked to it. Maybe people should use it more regarding trump.

40 million didn’t seem like a record breaking box office weekend. Sure enough, it’s only record breaking for the franchise.

It’s actually in 443rd spot of the opening weekend charts. These are probably preliminary numbers and if they can add just another 50k to that total when the numbers are all in, they can move up to beat Chicken Little.

Trying to work up the nerve to turn the hot water off and step out into the cold air

Dude couldn’t even build a tunnel

That was in 2014. They’ve since changed it to Louvre1

I agree in general but I can’t think of anything in the OT that is taken from The Epic of Gilgamesh except the Noah’s Ark story, which is a clear rip-off. And the 5000 years ago is too long, I think the oldest books are from the 8th century BCE.

“I have no special regard for Satan; but I can at least claim that I have no prejudice against him. It may even be that I lean a little his way, on account of his not having a fair show. All religions issue bibles against him, and say the most injurious things about him, but we never hear his side.” - Mark Twain

You don’t have to look at Christians to think God isn’t so good.

In the Bible, Satan kills 10 people, Job’s children, and he did it with God’s blessing while they were having a bet.

God killed entire cities, all the firstborn of a nation even down to the slave’s children, killed everyone on earth except 8 people, killed a guy for picking up sticks, killed a guy for not allowing the ark of the covenant to fall, told the Hebrews to attack nations and kill every man woman and child in the land and was furious when they left a few alive, had a God-off to show he was more powerful and when the other side converted to believe in him he had them killed, killed David’s son and had his 10 wives publicly raped, killed 42 children for making fun of a bald guy… the list goes on, not to mention that God told the Hebrews to have slave’s, women were property and have to be killed if they ruin the one thing they were good for, their virginity.

Christians have weirdest relationship with the Bible. Many don’t really read it. If they did, they’d be Jewish. Jesus said to keep the Jewish laws, but Paul said it’s ok not to. Christians go with Paul instead of Jesus and generally disregard the Old Testament except the parts they think prove Jesus was the Messiah.

One can never be sure what President Brain Worms is talking about but I’m pretty sure Obama started a ten year plan to modernize our nuclear forces early in his presidency.

He probably has some brain worms he got from RFK in there starting to death

I should be more clear. I don’t mean I consume TV like most people but do it through my media server. I meant that I have the media server and if I get the rare feeling that I want to watch TV I will watch some old show I have on there.

I upgraded my system in 2023 and looking at my history since then, it shows me watching a few episodes of Letterkenny after the update. I actually spent several months before that “binging” it. That was an uncharacteristically lot of TV for me and I actually skipped over every scene with only the Skids in it. I couldn’t stand them

After that, I’ve watched 5 episodes of The Super Dave Osborne Show which came out in the 80s, 3 episodes of Kim’s Convenience 5 episodes of Peep Show and 12 episodes of the comedy Children’s Hospital.

Without commercials those are 22 minutes each, except Children’s Hospital which are 11 minutes, or two episodes in 22/30 minutes. So 19x22 minutes= 418, or 7 hours in two years. I average watching 17.5 minutes of old TV shows per month.

I consider that not watching TV. I don’t keep up with new shows. I don’t finish a show and start looking for a new one to watch. But if I got really interested in a new TV show I’d watch the hell out of it then go back to not really watching anything.

I don’t watch TV. I actually can’t. I haven’t had cable or an antenna to receive anything since I bought my house in 2011.

I have a media server with movies and TV shows. If I really want to watch something I’ll watch one of those. I do like movies but only watch them if they interest me and that’s getting a lot rarer these days.

I don’t play video games at all or have any game consoles.

Pullman was on Saturday Night Live after the movie came out and one of the skits was Bob Dole (Norm MacDonald) dreaming that he was debating Pullman’s character from the movie in a presidential debate.

Pullman is proud to have united America and defeated the alien invasion while Dole keeps trying to blame him for the state of the nation after the invasion.

Here are the only quotes I could find

President Thomas J. Whitmore: My fellow Americans, when I look back on my first term as President, there are many things that stand out. The passage of the new clean water act, the historic tax cut… but, I would have to say that my proudest moment was when I led the charge to repel the invasion of the space monsters. …

Bob Dole: Under his administration, over seventy million Americans were incinerated by aliens from outer space!

President Thomas J. Whitmore: Well, at seems as though the Senator has finally decided to go negative. I guess he hopes to distract voters from the real issues, the ones that matter to the average American.

Bob Dole: The average American’s dead!

I don’t see how it is a logical fallacy. A fallacy is when the conclusion is not supported by the premises. “Nothing to hide” is only one of those two required elements, the premise. The conclusion is undefined and might or might not be supported by the premise.

“Nothing to hide” is often a fallacy when arguing, say, government surveillance. “If you have nothing to hide you’ll accept metal detectors at the airport” is a fallacy. I accept metal detectors, but it’s because I value everyone’s safety over my minor invasion of privacy, I don’t think the premise of “nothing to hide” leads to the conclusion.

But I can’t say for sure every “nothing to hide” argument would be a fallacy without the rest of the argument.

I just want to know how the hell it’s supposed to cost $250 million. I searched for $250 million buildings and found a 25 storey tower, a SpaceX launch facility and the hangar that holds the entire fleet of Air Force One jets. A stupid ballroom should cost a few million tops.

I don’t know if it’s underrated, I don’t actually know anything about Adult Swim, but Childrens Hospital was hilarious

Yeah that’s the guy! I assume she already has, judging by the words that came out of her mouth. No need to check, I trust she made sure that guy faced justice.
