I mean even the Mongols were clear about the expectations of surrender versus conquest, which i think is just another example of how i give Ol' Temujin big props over the dumpy stupid Yanks You should at least be as coherent as a thirteenth century warlord, folks. I'm not asking for much

And I'd say, sure, the state has squandered much of its power on control and surveillance and moralistic abuse, but at this point, any power hoping to wield force in the future must necessarily continue fighting until the last breath Nobody thinks they'd get treated remotely like Japan or Germany

Can you imagine being a liberal who sees a girls' school blown up and feels that what the world must hear is that, actually, the Islamic republic of Iran is bad

It took them so long to think of how to say they posted Nazi shit without saying they posted Nazi shit

And again, I'd normally say, okay, keep sharing, except the statute of limitations for not going to therapy has passed and now i don't trust his emotional barometer on anything

Wil Wheaton did the scene from Mad Men when he told the Hershey's guys he grew up in a brothel, only for real, and it wasn't the shiny wrapper that made him briefly escape his terrible life, but it was the guy from Curb attacking Elmo that brought him back to his father beating him

You don't have to listen to Wil Wheaton The man told us all about his child abuse because Larry David choked a Muppet I normally am in support of spontaneous awkward sharing of trauma but you don't need to listen to Wil Wheaton
