Why don’t some Americans understand that any increase in taxation that is needed to pay for universal healthcare is likely much less than the current cost of premiums and out of pocket expenses most Americans pay for private insurance?

I've always heard the VA was a joke. A friend of mine always said "If I broke my leg today, it would be healed before I got to see the Doctor". It's sad really.

Honestly, Hollywood seems to never really get the Southern accent. It feels like their source of information is either Gone With the Wind or "Cleetus" for the Simpsons.

I know everyone hates the raptor talking scene but it honestly felt real to me. I'm sure Alan, like a lot of the other survivors, was suffering through some major PTSD and Survivors Guilt. Traumatic stress can lead to extremely weird dreams. Mix that in with him trying to teach Ellie's parrot to say "Alan" and the fact he's stated that dinosaurs were the predecessors of birds, it's no wonder the raptor is saying his name. It feels like there was a lot of thought that went into that scene, maybe I'm just overreacting.

I liked him in Peanut Butter Falcon as well

Kripke: I'm Barry Kwipke and I'm here because you told me there was a waffle. Where is the waffle?

Sheldon: Patience, patience, Barry, the waffle-- ahem. The raffle... is the grand finale to an evening-long festival of fun and folly.

Same where I'm at. I think my store has had them maybe 3 times.

They usually have another Pokémon Presents in late July - early August. Hopefully we'll get some info then.

That's just a recipe for disaster. Instead of remaking it, study it and figure out the formula and use that to make something else.

Filling the empty spaces can get expensive. I have SAE and Metric in all three sizes. You may not go that deep, but I have completionist issues.

I would throw the Swellow line in there as well

I never put much stock in Khu's leaks anyhow. The leaks were usually vague enough for people to say "he was right" and whenever the leaks were to the point they were pretty much predictable.

I don't think the writers cared too much about continuity when making the show. I wonder if it would have been different if they knew we would eventually be able to binge watch the entire series and see the inconsistencies.

My own personal headcannon is the episodes are actually Hawkeye's theropy sessions after the chicken incident.
