Most people are far more conventional than they think they are.

This sort of thinking is so zero sum, antagonistic. Knowledge isn't shared, it's not spread, it's "stolen", as though the originators lost their knowledge. This is such a reframe of a good thing into a lens of a power game where there must be losers. https://t.co/fSF53hLqnX

Yeah, it’s a moronic and harmful way of thinking about it and of being in the world. It harms everyone, too, even the indigenous people these white nutcases are “protecting.”
Libs do this with sex and relationships too, where every encounter has a winner and loser. How do people live with themselves, thinking this way?

One of my favorite cars of all time. So beautiful. Only 10,594 were made, and only in 1963. Of those, only about 2,000 probably survive.
You can buy one here if you are so inclined.
Clarity
Now, if this isn't the coolest thing you've seen today then you need to close the refrigerator. It's an animation of how bridges were built in Central Europe in the middle-ages. pic.twitter.com/FhlpwTlee5

Cool. I like things like this, that actually make a process clearer rather than the usual academic bullshitery, which generally makes it more opaque.
Powering In
This is what’s known as a scorched earth strategy: burn everything down behind you as you retreat, knowing you can’t and won’t win. There should probably be some consideration of how the country can prevent an unhinged Trump from completely burning the nation down between Nov-Jan https://t.co/dWC72Wj0nN

Interesting. Remember when the liberals were falling all over themselves to tell us how Obama wanted to help, but the poor wittle baby just had no power, none at all.
What happened to that? You mean, oh my god, that the president actually can exercise some fucking power? WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?
I made fun of those wankers at the time and I make fun them of them now. I will never stop.
Octo Speed
Today in Subverting Stereotypes, the octogenarian driver of the car dealership's courtesy shuttle drove like a teenage boy hopped up on Adderall and Red Bull.

I’ve encountered that! A girlfriend’s near-80 grandfather drove like a maniac. Skillfully, not like a typical old person, but speeding everywhere, inadvisable passes, the works.
I asked him why he drove so…spiritedly and he said (and I quote), “You never know when I’m going to kick off! Got to get there fast before I bite it!”
Horror Realize
It’s horrifying to realize, but I think Americans actually prefer pure trash food like Little Debbies and Twinkies and such over actual esculent pastries and baked fare.
I didn’t want to believe this, but now I do. How terrible.
