I always thought it was a stupid movie from when I first saw it in the theater. Stupid and incredibly maudlin. I have no idea why it was so beloved and the Oscars, aside from the technical ones, baffled me.

I mean Tom Hanks is a good actor, but at best you can say he played a ludicrous character in a ludicrous movie as best he could. I wouldn’t give him an Emmy for Bosom Buddies either.

Also, my wife read the book and apparently it, and Forrest, are very different. She said Forrest is kind of an asshole in the book.

Multiple UBI tests have shown that giving people money on a regular basis lifts them out of poverty and puts more money into the local economy.

Let’s just have 0% taxes! Then everyone will be rich!

No one’s road will get paved and their house fires won’t get put out, but lowering taxes is the solution, so eliminating them altogether must be the ultimate way to lift everyone out of poverty!

The US is already in $36 Trillion dollars of dept.

People have said, “the U.S. is already ___ dollars of debt” my entire 46 years as if that means something. What does it mean? Sometimes the economy goes up, sometimes the economy goes down. Debt keeps going up. It doesn’t seem to be changing anything.

True in the U.S. Except, of course, in Alaska. Somehow in Alaska, very red state Alaska, home to Sarah Palin, every state resident gets a dividend from the oil revenue. Not that I approve of the reason why considering no one should be making revenue by fossil fuels, but somehow Republicans are fine with that exception. I wish they were pressed on it occasionally.

He got six kinds of cheese. I’ve seen Enterprise. You can’t fool me.

Also, that was a different Porthos in Star Trek that doesn’t count and it couldn’t have been the same dog anyway unless they invented super long-life dog extension medicine or something.

So what happened to Porthos is he got six kinds of cheese. The end.

I was 10 years old when TNG started, so Wesley was perfect for me. “A kid can be on the bridge of the Enterprise? A kid like me?”

Also, Wil Wheaton is awesome. And a good actor.

Yeah, but no one gets to choose where they live as a kid. Her parents took her to a particularly dangerous place, but plenty of parents go someplace dangerous with their kids on purpose. It’s basically abusive behavior, but it’s also not like they ever lauded Annika’s parents as heroes. They were pretty neutral on what happened.

I like both Ezri and Jadzia, but Rick Berman did Terry Ferrell dirty and that’s the only reason we had Ezri. So I like Ezri, but there never should have been an Ezri.
