Looks like the quote threads are by years. Feel free to merge this with one of the other quote threads if you think that's more appropriate.

Bold of you to assume there will be a 2029.

There won't be any quotes from humanity in 2029 though, because we'll have wiped ourselves out.

And nothing of value was lost.

If civilisation is sufficiently destroyed, the calendar ceases to have meaning, so it's theoretically possible that there will not be a 2029...

My Nephew

"I can't wait for event"
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

My son and I were just watching last night's Daily Show, and during the segment about Trump's waffling lawyer, he quipped, "Trump is stupid... AND contagious."
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.

I hate questions like this because obviously it is the boiling point of water, but it discounts very important factors like atmospheric pressure. In Denver, water boils at 203 degrees. It'd be 160 degrees on Mount Everest.

Of course, it wouldn't be a very motivational speech to say 'you can achieve the same results with less work if you move to another company that doesn't put as much pressure on you'.

Ah, but less pressure goes with lower density, the motivational speech could be about how they expect better results from you now that they're laying off half the staff.

I was expecting a joke about getting rid of the dense people.

I almost answered boiling point of water at 1 atmosphere but was so happy my comrade did a better answer.

Not really. Water isn't what you would consider compressible.

Me: WWE is an essential service.
Gi: By that logic, Spencer's is an essential service.

Gi: Yeah. It provides vital masturbation supplies which keep people at home.

TFwiki wrote:Soon is the name of the region in the time-domain (familiar to all marketing departments, and to the moderators and staff of Fun Publications) which sees release of all BotCon news, club exclusives, and other fan desirables. Soon is when then will become now.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.
