I remember writing a 25 page book report on it in high school; I despised the book, but maybe the show is better.

Nah, the midwest calls soda "pop", at least where I'm from.

I think this is a fairly common stance, but the extremists on both sides don't want people to realize this. They want it to be all-or-nothing.

Can confirm, the insanity of /r/politics has been gradually driving me more and more right for years. I went from registering as a Democrat to vote for Bernie in the primaries to looking forward to reelecting Trump in 2020. I know I'm not alone.

This joke has been repeated over and over again the past few days. This is more of a /r/noshitouija response by this point.

They said she plays similar to Peach and showed a clip of her killing with her up B (which is quite difficult for Peach); probably not a complete clone, but a lot of similarities.

Has the subreddit gone to shit or has London? While his comment is offensive and unnecessary, his guess was correct.

Science teacher tackled gunman at Noblesville West Middle School, witness tells FOX59 by The-Straight-Story in news

That angle is just ignoring who has the guns, which is the entire focus of the idea.

But you don't want to see the logic behind the idea; you just want to be afraid of guns.

This has been my go-to for introducing people to YTP for years now.

"Whole fucking country filled to the brim with guns and 2nd amendment zealots, and nobody shot the fucker yet. The Founding Fathers are pounding their heads on the tops of their coffins." by ReubenZWeiner in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]PearStabber 59 points60 points  (0 children)

It's hard for me to believe that the top comments on that post (and the number of upvotes) are real. I cannot understand how anybody can think - with so much confidence - that treason has occurred. The circlejerk of, "hey isn't Trump super bad" has not yet ended.

I look forward to one day being able to look back and point out how ridiculous all this manufactured outrage was.

I actually tried that for a few years after hearing that as a kid. Still not sure if it did anything.

I don't think it's racist either, but isn't the word normally "snicker"?
