I'm pretty sure someone was both high and drunk when they wrote this.

The science behind THC + alcohol as a combination is literally soo interesting because it basically causes the crimson red duckling in your body to confront the serpent in the bronze vessel of your heart. Basically you feel good because the duckling is able to eat the harmonious seeds stored within the vessel and transfer these positive energies into your body. You can have bad highs when this happens if the duckling awakens the serpent and it bites the duckling. The interesting part is when you ingest alcohol after THC because it floods the vessel and causes the serpent to fall into a deep sleep. The duckling never gets attacked by the serpent when this happens because it is unconscious and the duckling is actually able to get fat from the harmonious seed, which causes an enjoyable sensation.

In the same vein, here's a video that would be only mildly funny except that the timing and the woman's reactions make it A+.

Another duality: loving dogs and thinking they should all have infinite freedom, vs. seething with rage at inconsiderate dog owners.

The duality of man is thinking “children cannot help themselves and we all need to be patient with them as they explore what it means to be human in public” and also “damn, I wish this crying baby was not on the plane rn :/“

The temptation, when adapting a really iconic detective, is to delve into his personal backstory. That's the devil talking.

I could not resist the temptation to say "feesh" each time they got a fish.

Sorry this is late, but my homework ate my dog.

So I was writing a small paper in Microsoft Word and the program suddenly crashed (I saved a couple minutes before, thank god) and I get this message in the corner of my screen two seconds afterward

what the fuck

Art 14.0 is no longer supported. If you don't let us upgrade to 15.0 within twenty minutes, we'll start the upgrade anyway and your senses will be turned off until you start paying the new subscription fee. Also, red is now available only in the premium version.

I think it's cute how so many art movements are simply called "new art" to differentiate "not like the old stuff". Contemporary dance. New wave fashion. Pop (literally popular) music. Art Nouveau. Modernism. Postmodernism. Even terms starting with neo- (neo-classicism, neo-expressionism) all are just saying NEW ART. And yet all of these things are now distinctive styles of the past. It's kind of beautiful how humanity never stops outgrowing itself. Art is a state of matter that refuses to sit still, old as soon as it is new, original upon its thousandth performance, new forever so long as there is someone who has not yet seen it, and old the second the artist picks up their instrument again.

You show up for your first day at Copyright-Free Magic School. As you're going through orientation, you're informed that all new students get a school-assigned familiar that they are responsible for housing and maintaining. The staff member assures you that your assigned familiar is appropriately chosen and reflects you in some way.

Spin this to find out yours. (Remember, you are responsible for maintaining this familiar in your dorm room.)

My favorite example of this is immigration. Illegal immigration is only illegal because we say so. We could end it completely with the stroke of a pen. What's "legal" according to US law is actually "illegal" by international law (regarding asylum in particular). I'm not going to get into a debate about immigration policy, but any discussion of has to start with recognition that laws can be wrong and laws can be changed.

As the people who wrote the Declaration of Independence and started a revolution clearly understood, sometimes it is our duty to defy unjust law.

I think people need to be more comfortable with illegalism and I’m not kidding. Of course the more legal something is, the safer and easier it is to do, but the more people who disregard the law, the harder it is to enforce. There are plenty of laws on the books that people just ignore and are never or rarely policed.

Becoming more comfortable with little illegal activities makes you more comfortable with bigger more important illegal activities. Additionally, it is crucial to build a wall of silence. Nobody talks everybody walks.

People who give out food without a permit, hold a march without a permit, grow a garden without a permit, are more likely to be people you could turn to to work with on preventing an eviction, or keeping people out of cop hands, or helping your friend Jane get crucial healthcare when it’s not legal in your state.

Communities comfortable with these acts won’t call the cops, and then nobody knows that it’s happening.

People have got to shift from both the idea that lawful = good/ illegal = bad, and that the illegality of something means that’s the end of it, and the only fight left is to make it legal again.

People have been calling him the shadow president, but I don't think he even wants the seat with the responsibility. He wants to be the Grand Vizier with all of the power behind the throne.
