You don’t have to have an opinion about everything.

“Nah nah nah nah, I can’t hear you,” State Dept says.

Last paragraph…

"Then the wheel falls off while you’re driving, or the autopilot plows into a jersey wall, and you’re meant to be thrilled.* Glad even. Grateful! This is proof: You were an early adopter. A beta tester, a brave explorer. You’re helping to work out the bugs, mapping new territory. Who knows? In a hundred years this car’s descendants might be as reliable as cars that by then will be 150 years old, and you will have played a part in making it so. Won’t that be nice.

*Assuming you lived through it."

It’s more nuanced than that, but generally speaking papal infallibility today only extends to very limited circumstances where the Pope puts on his special papal infallibility hat and says, “I hereby decree…” some specific topic of church law.

Have you tried This War of Mine? It has many of the elements you describe.

A handful of relatives at Thanksgiving wanted to have a conversation/diatribe about what the pope was doing wrong but hey look, I’m gonna go stand over here instead.

I would love to buy this game on sale and never get around to playing it.

Isn’t that what Grounded is? I haven’t played it personally, but it reviews well and that seems to be their aim.

Get them a subscription to BritBox, it’s almost all British detective shows.

What he meant was he can’t get used to having only one woman on the bridge. It was basically a sausage party up in there.

Ask the bailiff, not the lawyers.

I don’t know.

IMO, yes. Near the end of season 1 it starts to become apparent that all those “random” monster-of-the-week occurrences aren’t really random, and the plot becomes increasingly more serialized as time goes on.

This isn’t going to go down with the strongly Catholic members of my family, all of whom believe they know Church doctrine better than the pope.

Damn, what a weird coincidence.

“Cheers was good because it was an ensemble cast, what’s the point of making a show just about Frasier? I’m not gonna watch it if there’s no Woody or Norm, what would be the point?”

I’m not saying I think this will be as good/better than the first run of Frasier, but people should at least give it a shot before writing it off with the exact same criticism that was leveled against the show they now love when it was announced 30 yrs ago.

But didn’t he specifically tell them they should just drop their suit and leave him alone? How rude of them.

Dave Foley with an eyepatch, no less. I’m in.
