40 year old movies are not really a major influence on slang & pop culture…

The various boot discs I had to get a Dreamcast to run foreign, pirated games.

Also got a NES emulator running on it, I have a disc somewhere with the full NES library that runs on Dreamcast. Made a few bucks selling those at school.

Their other sister?

It’ll take at least a generation for Gattaca to be in full swing

My neutral evil on a small partial loaf is basically rolling it until all the excess is tucked.

My local roads are shit, the SUV prevents me damaging my vehicle in all the potholes / construction zones.

I would totally rock a Slate, though.

not using “password123”

So “Password123!” Is still good, then?

Bang.

US justice: If you’re rich, you’re not a criminal.

If there’s not a child crying by the end, did you really even drive the bumper cars?
