The Tellerite officers also get upset when the humans ask that they turn on the universal translator 24/7 instead of forcing them to speak about warp physics in Tellerite

There are also some Tellerite characters who are super friendly and keep trying to talk in human slang. They also wear traditional human clothes such as suits or football helmets whenever they meet the humans off-duty.

Idea for a Star Trek show:
It follows a few human crew members on a 90% Tellerite ship. Some of the humans perform exemplary service, and are then reminded by the Tellerites they are only there due to Federation diversity policies.

It's almost like people in fandoms take their enjoyment of the work to an extreme, one might say to fanatical levels

First they came for the LotR fans, and I didn't speak out, because the books are good but the fandom is slightly annoying

This is especially weird considering that there is no accent on it in the Hungarian spelling; the accent is in his last name.

"What are you talking about?" should be one of the default reaction emojis on all news sites.

IP auction market where the scripted TV shows have to bid for the right of actual murders occuring in the country...on second thought this would create some really bad incentives

A 444-en meg Szily szemlézi Bari Weiss "sikerét"; komolyan nem tudom milyen magyar sajtóterméket olvassak.

Relax, we are not going to be ruled by AI holograms who can only speak in nostalgia evoking platitudes for like 7 more years

I think this is a trick to get millennials on a list. I have at least 7 pre 2000 games on my computer right now...

I don't think he cares about veracity, it's just something to justify occupation of blue cities. The fact that opponents will care about veracity and go off on that aspect is an advantage!

EU countries should be filtered from this list; travelling by car from the Netherlands to Greece gets you 7 countries.

Australian stats are pretty high, and Canada, with 90% of the population being 5000+ kilometers away from the second closest country is incredible.

My favorite (real!) ad this summer: little girl is playing in front of the closed garage. Her grandpa comes and picks her up, they smile and hug. Text fades in: for lasting memories, buy A brand garage doors!
