"Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”
― Douglas Adams, "The Salmon of Doubt"
Anyone driving my same make and model and paint color is my homie. Unless they do something stupid, in which case I'm ashamed to be associated with them.
I was staying at hostel in Switzerland. I clogged the toilet. I went to the front desk for help. The desk person followed me to the bathroom, took a look, said "It's too big," chuckled, and then just went back to the desk. I ended up doodie knifing it with a wire hanger.
This person is reveling in perceived victimhood. They seem genuinely energized by the fantasies of persecution they imagine themselves being subject to. Makes you wonder what is missing in their life that they seek that out.
Let's be honest, if there is a global apocalypse and the only people left are the billionaires in their bunkers, how long are they really going to hang around doing their own laundry, eating canned food, and watching reruns?
Fun fact about people in Stalin's Gulags: they used to write him letters begging for release, believing they had been imprisoned in error, and not realizing he was the one who sent them there.
The thing about Stephen King is he doesn't usually plan his stories. He just writes and goes where it takes him. Hence, they sometimes go to funny places.
Dogs are more domesticated than cats, hence they care about more things that humans care about than cats. Cats, despite being only slightly less domesticated, still retain more of their sense of independence - though it sometimes feels like they are just kidding themselves - like they know deep down they aren't wildcats prowling a jungle, eating only what they kill, but they like to maintain that mental image.
>According to one person who witnessed an argument between Musk and a former girlfriend upon leaving a club one evening, Musk aggressively railed against her, asking why she had hair on her face (referring to the slight peach fuzz that everyone has, visible under the bright light of the club’s awning). “Because I’m a mammal,” the girlfriend replied, which only pissed Musk off even more.

What people say they want and what they actually want are not always the same thing, and often they don't even realize it themselves.

Dude missed the easy comeback: "No, I meant generally."
Edit: Just to clarify: He started it, and they both sound rude. I was just making a joke.
"We'll stop doing awful, evil shit for a moment, if you give us the tools we need to do even more evil shit later."
Allow me to translate: "We don't want people who won't eat our shit with a smile."
Never a dull day in the wang biz

It's not about right vs left. It's about totalitarianism vs pluralism.

I uploaded a Hajime Sorayama image and ask for a variation on it.
These people are so strange. We live in this big, complex world filled with variation, and they are like: "No! Everything must be only one way!"
Ain't it fun
Livin' in the real world?
