"Please" is short for "if it pleases you" or "if you please". It's used to turn a command into a request. It's probably not used on Lemmy, etc. because we're not requesting things of each other a lot.

Of Biblical Proportions (startrek.website)

An elderly Catholic priest dies one night peacefully in his sleep after a long life of serving God, and finds himself standing at the pearly gates.

"You were such a pious and holy man in life," began St. Peter, "that as a reward you can make one request of me before leaving behind your worldly cares and entering heaven."

"Well," says the priest, "I'd like to read the original manuscript of the Bible."

Even more impressed now than before, St. Peter grants the request and takes the priest to God's own private library, before leaving him to his studies.

Shortly afterward, the priest lets out an unholy shriek. St. Peter rushes into the library and asks, "what is it? What's wrong?!"

And through gritted teeth and streams of tears the priest cried out: "Celebrate! It says celebrate, not celibate!"

Electors are appointed by the states and counted by Congress. Where does the president come in?

He seems to be confusing "freeware", which is basically a license for copyrighted work, with "public domain", which is the absence of a copyright.

the hack contains “33 terabytes of juicy banking information containing Americans’ banking secrets.”

Smells like BS. The Federal Reserve doesn't maintain bank records for individual Americans.

Someone who is fired for good cause generally doesn't qualify. If they're fired without being at fault, or if they quit for a good reason, then that's different.

It would have included loops of Star Trek sound effects, but Paramount lawyers said no.
