Maybe you should think on that a little.

Interactivodular?

Ignorance is not stupidity.

Despite this being reported on tech news, most people won’t even be aware that it’s a thing because most people won’t actually read about it. And the majority of gamers probably don’t even know what a kernel is or why an anti-cheat with elevated privileges would be a bad thing.

Most people buy their computers with Windows preinstalled and probably couldn’t tell you if the CPU is Intel or AMD.

I guess it’s a good thing she didn’t have to taste it, then.

'What ’ ain’t no school zone I ever heard of. They speak English in What?

She called them potatoes, not apples.

Who doesn’t like nuggies?

You paint a whole house, and nobody calls you a painter. But you drink one glass of milk…

Maybe they meant allspice, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if black pepper was too hot for them.

If you’re bombing civilians and blockading aid and starving the country, why would that be what you let through?

Something smells so good! Anyway, enjoy the movie, miss.
