True, but usually most objects are too small to have such a powerful effect on others. That ship was the size of the Atlantic Ocean, which is colossal, if you ask me, and capable of canceling out the local gravity enough to cause buildings, cars, and everything else to come flying up out of the ground as the ship passed over. Most starships I've seen in sci-fi films don't do that (or can't do that), not even the saucers from the first "Independence Day" movie.
Please quit holding others to standards you don't hold for yourself. You're not fooling anyone with your "enlightened" views or beliefs. People like you can be just as bigoted, hypocritical, and small-minded, you just do it in reverse towards us. That does not get you off the hook with anyone that has an IQ higher than 60. Double-standards have never worked except among the ignorant and uninformed.
I loathe and despise rap "music," if such a term can apply to such garbage. I hate how it bangs into people's ears, is loud, uses bad grammar, racial slurs, words that aren't even real words, misogynistic subjects, cussing, and glorifying "thug culture." It's not really "music" for me. It's just noise and a genre of "music" that should never have been taken seriously by anybody. Just the mere SOUND of it turns most sensible people off.
My dad and I call it "Crap without the C."
Yeah, I mean, I had never even HEARD of "Empire" before this incident.
French words. It drives me crazy that they insist on using all these letters, but they don't actually SAY them! I'll give some examples:
Hors d'Oeuvres - it's pronounced "or-derves," but looks like something else entirely
Poitiers - pronounced "pwah-tee-ay," but I keep wanting to say "poy-tee-ers"
It's the only area where being raised to read English words using Phonics messes with my head.

Not really. Screaming and denying their sinful nature to the truth-speaker is what makes someone a hater.
I was talking to some idiots on Discord recently who were sooooo certain that all Hawaiians wanted to break away from the US and become an independent country. I laughed my bum off at them and pointed out the ridiculousness of that entire idea, not to mention that most Hawaiians are happy to be American citizens and to be protected as such. They wouldn't last a week without us.
All the little snot could do was pretend it didn't hear me and call me "ignorant," despite all the facts I laid on the table for it.
Most separatist movements are too small to be of notice beyond amusing people for a year or so before everyone gets bored and ignores them again. It would take a lot for any state to leave the US, and they made it near impossible, to tell the truth.
I'll try to use a less negative one :). See, my dad was playing this WWII pilot's game, and one of the secret missions he had to do was a real life classified mission done during that war, and it succeeded too! Here's what he had to do:
He had to take a female spy as a passenger on his plane, fly down over a train going through the German countryside at night, and go at just the right speed so she could jump out of the plane and onto the train without getting killed. Now in the game, you get many tries, but in real life, this pilot had one shot, and he did it! The spy got safely onto the train, and continued on with her mission in Germany.
Yes.
Neither was I, but I did hear about one at this large high school I went to for a year. Apparently sometime before I went there, my fellow students told me about a massive cafeteria fight that involved spaghetti. I have a feeling pasta became extremely unpopular for a few months with the staff there.
I once tried with a credit card and failed. How the heck are they able to do that in the movies? I've had friends claim you can do it, but I have yet to figure out how to get around the bolt on the door.
How about a couple getting into a shouting match, even fighting each other, and suddenly they're both turned on and start making out...and it leads to other things ^___^
I'm not sure that actually happens in real life.
I did see a crazy high school guy clinging to the front of his girlfriend's car, but it was only for a few seconds, and the two of them were playing around and totally pandering to the crowd of fellow summer school students watching.
Same here. I can count on one hand how many nightmares I've had my whole life......ok, it's 4. Whew!
It's true, every time I've had a nightmare, I'm still lying down, and hardly make a sound when waking up. But I will tell you I've had the heart-pounding, wide-eyed look before calming down a second later.
I'd prefer not to think about it. *cringes*
Yes, several times, but it was mostly really ordinary stuff. Let's see....
At age 12, I had to have a gum transplant so that the gums in front of my lower front teeth were strong enough to handle my getting braces. The orthodontist was worried that the braces would pull my 4 lower front teeth out, so that's why I got the surgery. The dental surgeon took a small piece from the left side of the roof of my mouth, and attached it way down at the base of my gums below my two lower front teeth. I'm pleased to report that the surgery worked :)
That same year, I got in a fight and got hit on the head with a locker lock. A plastic surgeon used 6 stitches on my forehead. You can't even see the scar unless I point it out, that's how good he was :). He normally did cosmetic surgery for adults, but also did reconstructive work on children who had been injured. He preferred the latter when it came to his work. The good news was, it didn't hurt hardly at all when I got hit (due to adrenaline), and the kid who did it to me went to juvie.
I've also had my wisdom teeth out. My parents arranged for it to be done right after school ended my Jr. year, so I wouldn't have to run around with swollen cheeks and ice bags wrapped around my head in public. I was soooo grateful for that.
I was actually gonna ask about that. How would we be able to leave if they trap everyone like they did in "Handmaid's Tale?"
Oh yeah, and everyone in England behaving like Victorian or Baby Boomer Brits and only coming from London. Turns out they're nothing like that now, and their teeth have even improved.
