Woman: He’s probably thinking about other women
Man: Socialism with Chinese characteristics is socialism, not any other "ism." The guiding principles of scientific socialism thus cannot be abandoned. Our Party has always emphasized adherence to the basic principles of scientific socialism, but adapted to the particular conditions of China. This means that socialism with Chinese characteristics is socialism, not some other doctrine.  It was Marxism–Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought that guided the Chinese people out of the long night and established a New China, and it was socialism with Chinese characteristics that led to the rapid development of China.

when i was 13 years old i was abducted by aliens. when they weren’t experimenting on me, i was kept in paralytic stasis and force-fed a vile nutrient slurry. one alien, though—just one—would bring me green jell-o. i think he was breaking the rules. i’d eat it…and remember home

A screencap from Star Trek: The Next Generation. A Starfleet officer in a yellow operations uniform stands in the foreground, seen from behind and slightly to the side, facing an empty holodeck. The holodeck is inactive, showing a stark black room covered in glowing yellow grid lines on the floor and walls, forming a three-dimensional wireframe cube.

martin luther: (sipping beer) time to write my 20 theses. thesis 1. christ’s word, “repent,” accurately translates... (…) luther: (buzzing) thesis 46. christians should help the poor, not buy indulgences (…) luther (destroyed, slurring): 75–SAY FOR ARGUMENT A GUY VIOLATED MARY
75. To consider papal indulgences so great that they could absolve a man even if he had done the impossible and had violated the mother of God is madness.
