In a parallel universe, someone is memeing about how teachers waste our time on useless stuff and never taught us to convert between units.

All I know is you shouldn't drink a ton of red gatorade midway through a night of heavy drinking.

When you start to throw up, your friends will assume you are vomiting blood and call an ambulance or possibly an exorcist.

You may not like it, but this is peak performance.

Actually, you probably would like it.

Lots of weird guys say they are disgusted by female body hair.

Normal guys don't give a shit.

The comic guy is... into it.

All the people saying mandatory voting is bad are misinformed. It is essential for democracy, and should be applied everywhere.

Australia has mandatory voter turnout, but you do not need to submit a vote. You just need to show up on polling day.

Everyone has political interests and needs to be politically represented, but some people are too tired after work to take themselves to the polling centre. Others are incarcerated. If anything, those people are more in need of political representatives.

American conservatives spend billions trying to prevent poor overworked people from reaching polling places or exercising their right to vote. Mandatory voting prevents that.

Make no mistake, Australian democracy is healtheir than whatever clusterfuck in going on in the US.

Some would ask, how could a perfect God create a universe filled with so much that is evil. They have missed a greater conundrum: why would a perfect God create a universe at all?

It's the same story with tons of films: Taxi Driver, Joker, The Boys, Watchmen. They get universal praise from the left and right.

The Left: "This insightful satire shows the protagonist's slow descent from obsession and inceldom into terrorism and psychopathy. It serves as a stark reminder of how these thought patterns are the beginnings of a societal tragedy."

The Right: "I fucking love this guy. He just shoots the people he doesn't like. Based. Highly recommended."

Sacha Baron Cohen is one classy son of a bitch.

He played Ali G. He risked his life interviewing conservatives. He infuriated the Kazakhstan government.

People need to understand that in a democracy, winning the plurality of the votes is not the same as winning the election. If no-one will work with him, he will not be in government.

I was repeatedly called an Oompa Loompa by someone upset about losing Starcraft 2, which sounds pretty tame, but the hatred this person put into his writing.

I dunno why but my man HATED oompa loompas

I'm happy to eat bugs. Lobsters are basically bugs.

Don't conflate the ecologically sustainable practice of bug-eating with American fascist secret service bullshit.
