Definitely brewing tea in their tank.

I've heard arguments for the opposite: women who act should be called actors, not actresses, the logic being that the -ess suffix is diminutive, so all actors should just be actors. It seems like there are perfectly reasonable arguments to be made for either side.

The phenomenon of consciousness / individuality / free will is the fragment of our higher-dimensional anatomy that intersects with our 4-dimensional reality.

I have a suspicion that a candidate chosen in a RCV primary would have a mathematical advantage in a general election against one from another party not chosen by RCV, but I'd need someone with better math and electoral analysis skills than me to address the question.

I like my coffee like my women: hot, pale, and stronger than you'd expect.

I object on the basis that he gets to sit in this cool car and I don't.

I'm convinced there are two appropriate ways of using the internet:

1. Interacting with people that you personally know and have spent time with in real space. This is just keeping in touch, and might even be used to visit with them in real space in the future.

2. Interacting with strangers, but only under the assumption that they are not given permission to meaningfully impact your emotional or mental state. If they say something stupid or hurtful, it must be allowed to roll off of you, because they might be a troll actively trying to harm you, or they might be an AI programmed to harm you. Neither is worth allowing to get under one's skin, or to even inflate one's sense of self, either. One wouldn't get meaningfully pissed at a video game NPC for being mean, or proud of oneself for them liking you.

Online relationships may supplement ones that are based in the real world, but allowing them to act as if they are real relationships is like giving bees aspartame and wondering why the hive is all fucked up.

If Trump really liked a well-kept beard, he'd treat Melania better.

Man, fuck wild parsnip.
