  While I will definitely get an Elmer Fudd reference, I won’t really identify with it. It was already an outdated culture while I was growing up. It was the cartoon I watched when I didn’t have other cartoons to watch.

  Basically, my father would make jokes about being “vewy vewy quiet” because we were hunting “wabbits”. I knew what he was talking about, and appreciated the humor, but it wasn’t my humor.

  Saw it, yeah. But it never really hit with me as something I identify with. I saw tons of things made before I was born, but things that came out after I was completely conscious of storytelling resonate differently.

  ET doesn’t do anything for me in this meme. It might as well be Elmer Fudd.

  I worked on a green missile system. This is very accurate

  Just as a heads up, but if you did enjoy the Princess Bride, the book/Audio book “As You Wish” is legitimately delightful.

  A good amount of the cast get together to talk about all the interesting things that went into making the movie.

  That is a bit of a selection bias. What you are effectively saying is “the biblical names that have survived to today have staying power”.

  But even that isn’t true here as almost all of the names you cite are significantly different now than their original forms. Looking at your list we have Yeshua, Shemuel, Mikael, Rivka, Yohanan, Miriam, and Paulus. Adam is mostly the same, as is David (with a bit of an accent difference), but the rest didn’t exactly emerge as they were.

  Well it was about that time I realized this judge was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the plethazoic era.

  Having been in the military, I find it hilarious and accept that it is not a place everyone should be. The recruiter likely has a very similar realistic understanding of where the military stands with people right now.

  My power comes from the two sets of solar panels and batteries on my land. It is possible to do without fossil fuels. We’re not there yet for everyone, but the problems you point out are solvable, and if solar/EVs had the same amount of backing from the government over the same timeframe that gas/ICE cars have had, we would be in a very different place right now.

  Alright, alright, alright.
