Pretty sure we butcher the pronunciation, though. The Latin 'Caesar' was pronounced more like the German word 'Kaiser' than the modern 'Caesar salad,' for example.

Five Nights at Freddy's is popular if nothing else, but the art in the early games isn't bad on purpose.

I think Ford's attitude is similar to Guinness' attitude - it's not that he hates Star Wars, it's that he hates that it's completely overshadowed his other work and nobody ever talks to him about any other part of his career.

Similarly, everyday is an adjective. Every day is when something happens daily.

Given the argument that Data has Free Determination, Voyager is about how The Federation enslaves holograms
The Doctor was never intended to be a sapient program, and the crew take the situation seriously and treat him as a person when they find out. B'Elanna actually treats him as a person from the start, which I thought was interesting. It's not clear if the later EMH models are sapient, but the Bashir prototype didn't seem to be.
Mostly, the Federation seems to be shockingly unprepared for intelligent computers given how often they encounter them, like each time they think it's a fluke that will never happen again.

Unless Steven Seagal has been doing a bit since his career tanked thirty years ago, it's serious.

To be fair, they had a team at Starfleet HQ working on granting Moriarty independence from the holodeck for four years and simply didn't have the technology for it. They also didn't know he was aware that whole time and thought he was basically asleep. Picard is also very reasonable and encouraging when it looks like he's left the holodeck, and only starts on the prison box when it's clear he's willing to destroy the ship if they don't get him off the holodeck.

Honestly, that sounds like bullshit that Lenin made up so he could say he's totally not the new tsar.

The Norse were in the only area you can really island hop. The Pacific has tons of island chains, but the Atlantic is relatively empty. It has some islands near Africa and the Americas, but nothing like the chains connecting Japan, Hawaii, and Indonesia.

Pretty easy, if it's the one I've seen before. The interior of the mug is just a standard cylinder, but the base is broad for stability.

Seems like every time Phlox does something related to medicine it's also extremely unethical, like creating Sim or unilaterally condemning a sapient species to death.

Epic also generated a lot of bad blood by scooping up Kickstarter projects and ordering the devs to cancel the Steam releases, releases that had already been paid for by backers. A bunch of potential customers refused to buy from Epic on principle after that.

Destroys the brand recognition by renaming it to a letter of the alphabet he personally likes but nobody else gives a crap about
I'm beginning to suspect he only likes that letter because it's the middle part of a swastika.
