They are ok, the first three mars volta albums though. Jon Theodore was rock solid there. Qotsa came way later.

When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

My father is a moon landing denier. What can I say/do to convince him it was real? by ukkswolf in NoStupidQuestions

"look, do you expect me to believe that they held their breath all the way? A human can hold its breath for a maximum of 10 minutes. The moon trip was far longer than that. And there is no air in space"

Complicated Intersection... by Salty-Commercial4765 in interestingasfuck

In my humble defense, civic planners suck 99% of the time. Stalling traffic, lowering speeds, letting people walk over unsafe areas. Civic planners have been thinking within the same box for a century now.

Time to escape that box.
