Her: Are those flowers real?
Me: We'll never know for sure, but for what it's worth I see them too.
[Note: the opposite of "real" is "imaginary", not "plastic".]

Since The Elder Scrolls V (Skyrim) came out, we have been waiting for the "Skyrim killer." Who would have guessed it would be The Elder Scrolls IV (Oblivion)? #videogames

Man, I sure hope they appoint me Pope. Every time a Pope dies, I get passed over, and I'm damned sick of it. Yes, traditionalists might not be happy with an atheist Pope, but I think the time is right.

Here's a point I made a band rehearsal today:
"Let's say I buy your car. We now have a trade imbalance because you have the money. But I have the car! You wanted the money more and I wanted the car more. We're both happy. Where is the problem?"

You know, I've never once had a LGBTQ person force their "lifestyle" on me.
But these miserable greedy billionaires, man, they are in my face every goddamn day.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.
It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

I watch videos of an excellent historian named Sarah Paine. One of her videos was titled something like: "The Most Dangerous Dictator of the Twentieth Century - Sarah Paine."
Sarah, I'm so disappointed in you. You seemed so nice...

I a concept has a clear opposite, it is instructional to consider both. The opposite of "All lives matter" is "No lives matter." The oppose of "Black lives matter" is "Black lives don't matter." If you oppose BLM, you are saying black lives don't matter, not that all lives matter.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love.
I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Least useful line of enquiry: is X an illusion? where X is something we all experience such as time or consciousness. Charlatans often claim something is an illusion to imply superior understanding. A better enquiry is, "What the hell is X?" That focuses on the nature of X, which is the point!

It's not fair for God to punish me because Eve ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. She did it. I didn't. I mean, let's face it: I WOULD HAVE but I didn't. Knowledge is tasty
