I think I've narrowed it down to "Be a performatively obstinate token opposition when cameras are in their face 5 minutes per month, and then vote yes anyway"

Hey, you ever stop to think that braindead takes like "it is not the candidates job to convince people to vote for them" is why these inanimate planks of wood the dem party establishment insist on fronting always fucking lose

Hey people who confidently think teflon isn't actually aluminum, explain inorganic chemistry.

I feel like most of the questions surrounding these concepts were answered by Disney's Pinocchio a reasonably long time ago

Can you explain how NPCs have started to trick simpletons into thinking they're actual humans just because creators have told them they are right to be tricked? Because the kind of people who fall for that seem like the kind of people nobody should have any respect for.

We are not at war with Iran, although we have been for the last 50 years.

It's also impossible not to spoil by just saying Jason Statham is in the movie

An homage to a panel from the Achewood web comic. Phillipe, a young and eager otter, who is wearing a shirt and tie and a helmet for some reason, is happily singing a song to himself as follows: 

Born... in the USA! I went to school and I got an... A!
I ate a hamburger and said hooray!
Maybe it will happen today!
 
The final line is obviously my addition. The art was redrawn by me and is not just a copy of the original panel. Done in black lines and halftone shading on a toned paper background. 

You do not need to trouble Chris Onstad about this.

bezos bought a prestigious national investigative newspaper so he could gut it and run "consider setting a monthly budget" and "pay off your credit cards" tier financial advice columns like those blogs with adsense spots on all 4 corners of the screen

And TV is just old video games. Good thing Planescape: Torment has 19 PC response options per line of NPC dialogue or I'm sure they'd be making Morte plushies right now

WSJ headline that reads

Kristi Noem has been replaced as homeland security secretary. The final straw was her combative appearance at a Senate hearing this week.

Her replacement will just be a gun with a bunch of racial slurs written on it

It's so damn good, I still accidentally add "archwiki" to google searches not related to anything computer, because my muscles have started to think it's the best chance of giving me the correct way to do things universally. 100 youtube videos on mdadm couldn't do what 4 minutes of archwiki did.
