Every good idea will be pushed to its breaking point precisely because it’s a good idea.

@johnsmithyson0 If we went with formal definitions of Liberal and Conservative - All of them. Every single couple.

Approximately 13% of the Anthropology Department commits 1,000% of the crimes.

@DanBurmawy @sourpatchlyds We should start some kind of school for kids who want to battle. Maybe put it somewhere remote.

@mauddweeb Get gud first. Then follow your instincts.

[Robert Burleson @robstersauce]

@mauddweeb @tracewoodgrains Correct, if they figure out how to grow mutant space penii that's cool I guess.

I'm opposed to lies and medical malpractice, and so far every other discussion is purely academic.

@forthrighter There's a compelling scene in Ides of March (2011) where they discuss this and basically do a deep dark scientology interview for every candidate so that they can plan in advance how to spin it.

The only crime is withholding something from the party - for that you burn.

@ArtemisConsort Also my balls grow to the size of coconuts and I mow the lawn haphazardly and leave amazon packages in the fridge.

@faithandbased @PenguinWeb3 Good for you, Sir.

Fuck that nightmare shrimp

And to clarify I mean. You know. Shoot him.

@faithandbased @PenguinWeb3 This is a real photo of Florida Man

@CptAncapistan It has the coolest art direction and costumes of any war by far.

@lacosainse @Plinz @selentelechia It would be reasonable to say that the teachings of Jesus and Paul retconned the original pretty hard.

So diehard fans reject the sequels entirely, and sequel-enjoyers think these are a toxic fanbase.

@ArtemisConsort In Plano tonight the kids are all driving around aimlessly in souped up cars yelling slurs at each other. American Graffiti seems alive and well.

Pretty sure zoomers are fine, Reddit users might be a different story.

[Robert Burleson @robstersauce]

@Ruesavatar This, but every belief system.

[Robert Burleson @robstersauce]

@LAChas77 Latinos doing all of this shit, tbf

@basedbrickpush1 The only thing like this we have left in America is when you order a wine bottle, and they come pour it for the man first so you can make sure it isn't poisoned.

@SaudinotSorry @QuetzalPhoenix Agreed. There were serious legal risks of people finding out, but it's not clear Pete's accusation of being a deserter held any water. (court martial, maximum penalty of death, etc.) I think this line was meant to illustrate Pete'e over-active imagination.

[Robert Burleson @robstersauce]

@SaudinotSorry @QuetzalPhoenix Did he really desert?

Pete assumed this, but he was honorably discharged with his injuries - regardless of his name.

@ArtemisConsort Marie Kondo says "thank you" to the dirty house before she cleans it.

Even as non-Japanese people watching her show, we intuitively understand this is moral behavior.

[Robert Burleson @robstersauce]

@forstmeier @IterIntellectus The studios will continue to make movies and everyone else will (mostly) continue to not make movies.

Unless they really want to bad enough that they work really hard and get good at it.

And then a studio hires them.

[Robert Burleson @robstersauce]

There isn’t. There’s no Batman body backlash.

People love taking a side (which opens the possibility of winning, or at least being right).

So, if you ever need people to accept a lie, just offer them a controversial take on what to do if the lie were true.
