America can never fall except from within because the rest of the world is simply unprepared to enter the Appalachian mountains and have drones spray painted to look like the General Lee drop IEDs made out of beer cans on them.

But we have all these examples of people doing it wrong and it also never happens then. Seems more likely this is some neurotic thing that boomers got from somewhere

this is the kind of thing you can only really say honestly if you've very inattentive, or have been surrounded by people roughly as intelligent as you your whole life one or two encounters with extreme intelligence are enough to cure you of this nursery fantasy

I don’t believe that anyone is actually “smarter” than anyone else. I think that everything on an IQ test is a skill that can be honed.

what people who like to say that stuff maybe think they're saying is ``nobody's dumber than me,'' but i kinda suspect they also like the serotonin kick of thinking ``nobody, including isaac newton, is smarter than me''

incorrectly with palpatine's empire; that was a mélange of corruption, unequal application of law, and intermittent disorder the empire of the grand admiral, on the other hand...

there's a name for people trying to destroy or force their way inside government buildings, and a fitting response to that action, those words are on the tip of my tongue

Friendly reminder that the only *POSSIBLE* evidence for how the Varangoi were armed is a dude wearing nothing but socks and his underwear. Do with that information what you will.

Regarding the “Cheesecake Factory” discourse — what the president’s tacky White House signage actually recalls is the signage at the Beverly Hilton. Which makes sense, because Trump is the first gay president, but he’s Merv Griffin gay, not André Leon Talley gay.
