Do you believe that when a press report uses the phrase "The White House said today..." the the announcer actually thinks that the building spoke?

Look at 99% of media before 2001 AD.

I remember a line from an English mystery series. The Chief Inspector asks the Sergeant 'What's going on that I don't want to know about?'

Both were 'security.' Makes sense for the cop to have their eyes on the room and not a screen.

LPT.

Whatever size bed you have, buy blankets one size bigger. King blankets for a Queen size bed, eg.

I was today years old when I realized that the bridge crew all had chairs and the transporter operator was expected to stand.

Look at 99% of media before 2001 AD. White male hero. Star Trek TOS was a giant ground breaker showing Uhura, but all the real critical leaders were males. Think on this; the James Bond movie Thunderball has a scene that's pretty much rape; they were selling little kids' toys based on that movie. There's a John Wayne movie where Wayne throws someone else's kid into a river to teach the boy how to get over his fear of water.

This is what these young men and their fathers consume. And Trump plays to that. He's a macho hero who plays by his own rules and doesn't take crap from anyone.

Muhammed Ali did more in real life than Clint Eastwood ever did in all his movies put together; guess which one these folks admire?

A two year old isn't a 'minor.' No two year old can be trusted alone for any amount of time. In fact, leaving a two year alone to their own devices is considered child abuse.

There was a Howard Johnson's restaurant on the space station in 2001.

Of course, both Pan Am and Howard Johnson's are defunct

So, first they create phones that make it easy to ignore other people. Then they create machines to give you the 'interpersonal experience'
