I suppose my main question is "was the first Matrix cyberpunk or just sci-fi?"

I'm pretty sure "hated being a Matrix movie and wanted out" is basically in the text of the film in the meta commentary at the beginning

I say ban 'em. A reputation for banning racists is a positive reputation.

If he gets a gun anyway, what are they gonna do about it? Prosecute him?

You can probably find a Portuguese translation of the textbook Los conceptos elementales del materialismo histórico by Marta Harnecker. I'm not a native Spanish speaker but I was able to work my way through it and I've found it helpful.

He can still win, but only if everyone spells "Robinette" right

My "Doesn't Have a Problem with Women" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

It's a shame because it's one of the best superhero movies I've seen since Endgame

Why yes I will send and receive messages on a platform that is even more compromised than Discord

You should be trying to leave (the breakfast is ok tho)

It could also be an Englishman saying "en garde"
