Using The Room is cheating. There are only, like, two scenes in the entire movie that make sense according to the plot.

And also, I would have probably gone with the playing catch (with a football, I think) in tuxedos scene.

I think that this is from the episode where she's possessed by a Pah-wraith and it's showing O'Brien that it can kill Keiko at any time.

She's in Science of Identity Foundation and I believe pretty close to the leader. QAA has a two part episode about it and her.

I don't know about actively posting, but Karin something-or-other monitors social media posts about scientology. Don't forget to say hi, in case she's found out about Lemmy.

Hi, Karin!

Instead of protesting outside, we should go inside and laugh at people like this. Make them worry that the crowd is just there to humiliate them.

In the US, if you're in jail, you have to make phone calls through whatever provider the jail uses. These are private companies and charge a lot of money to the family just to talk to their loved one. A quid pro quo is a reward or advantage in return for something. In this case, the jails receive extra money for letting certain phone companies be the only ones prisoners can use. By preventing in person visits, they are lining their pockets with even more money. It's disgusting.

No. But also, this is Ontario, well-known for being outside US jurisdiction.

Hbomberguy made a video about it. There's no nuance or foreshadowing in that Sherlock. He exists just so Moffat can feel smart that he knows something the audience can't possibly know yet, nor does he give them a chance to figure it out.

Q would leave breadcrumbs, because he needed to be as vague as possible to sound like he knew what was going to happen, right? The people who would interpret those breadcrumbs were called bakers. Yes, I know breadcrumbs are from bread that's already been baked, but that's what they decided to call themselves to create an Us vs Them feel. So the "bread" in this image means there are things to be interpreted or reinterpreted yet.

There was a very flawed study years ago where a biologist observed wolves in captivity and determined that they fight for dominance within the pack. Later, he realized that in a natural setting, a pack is a breeding pair and their pups, as you stated. A natural pack is much more cohesive and doesn't have a strict hierarchy, but the ridiculous myth of "alpha wolves" won't go away completely, despite the same biologist's efforts.

Your friend is an idiot. MRNA vaccines are not new. Scientists have been working on a vaccine since SARS, which is similar to COVID (aka SARS-CoV-2). One of the reasons why medication can take so long to reach the public is that it takes money, which likely come from grants, which take time and have limited amounts to go around. When the pandemic broke out, countries around the world threw money at these labs. Everything else pretty much stopped, so they didn't have to wait for an understaffed and underfunded FDA to approve it.

Getting the vaccine is much better than slowly suffocating because the virus destroyed your lungs. Herd immunity only works when enough people have been vaccinated and clearly we haven't reached that yet since people are still getting infected, reinfected and dying.
