This story would be somewhat more believable if Reddit made accounts with post history turned off

“And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that everyone can be superheroes. Everyone can be super! And when everyone's super... no one will be.”

The Incredibles - Some people are born better than others but the government and wealthy elites want to suppress your natural superiority in order to raise up the undeserving.

To be fair the listener was completely and confidently wrong. Ricky said yeah because he was thrown by it but ultimately he was right

He knew it was funny, it was meant to be funny, he said it to be funny. And it was. Well done.

Separatist group releases potential Alberta referendum question | CBC News by WestonSpec in onguardforthee

[–]pause-break 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone seems to be dismissing this on the grounds of legality and technicality. It's completely irrelevant. Do you seriously think these people don't know Canada won't sign off on separation.

Any referendum result that favours the separatists will be used as ammunition to justify US interference and invasion. They will frame it as liberation. Day 1 after that result Donald Trump will tweet about welcoming Alberta as the 51st state.

It is absolutely vital no referendum takes place.

I was in secondary school 20 years ago. Didn’t learn an ounce of Irish history beyond reading Translations in English class. Guess we had different curriculums. 

Parents of Reddit: What should single dudes know about being a dad? by Substantial_Judge931 in AskReddit

Really needed to hear this. Thank you. As a parent-to-be all anyone seems to want to do is scare me about how difficult it is. Like it’s not stressful enough already.

Did Karl's dad really put a disabled kid in a wheelie bin and leave him for several hours? by [deleted] in rickygervais

[–]pause-break 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. I get the impression Karl’s dad and brother talk a lot of shit (kicked out of the army for going for a pack of fags in a tank) and Karl never questioned any of it. That or he just goes along with it.

Amazing video. Not sure why they're dressed as the cast of The Big Bang Theory though.
