"What bullying? What do you mean by “buffoonery”? Also, would you drop this arrogance? It’s like education automatically makes you a superior human who knows better than everybody else what they want."

There is no such thing as exploitation between informed, consenting adults.

At worst, there are losers who cannot take personal responsibility for their own bad decisions or who see every personal tragedy as an injustice.

King: Is there an invocation by the president of the United States of executive privilege? Is there or not?

Rogers: Not that I’m aware of.

King: Then why are you not answering?

Rogers: Because I feel that it is inappropriate.

King: What you feel isn’t relevant, admiral.

priest: "and I baptise so-and-so with the light of jesus christ"
my 6 yo: "that's not light. it's just water"

damn right, son.

Edit:
And my 8 yo son "and by wanton destruction, I mean... well, I will show you when we get home."

Yup. That's my boys.

Later on in that discussion:
Son1: is there a potion I can take to keep from dying?
Mrs erik: no

This happens with my son, too. I get a tearful boy walking into my room at two in the morning.

"I can't sleep."
"Why not?"
"I was thinking how the universe might be a false vacuum and what will happen to us."

I thought mrs erik was renacting a Louis CK scene but she hadn't seen it and took some minor offense at my amusement of "how she handled a tough discussion".

I have a running joke with my wife that the fridge is "where food goes to die"
Koumei: and if I wanted that, I'd take some mescaline and run into the park after watching a documentary about wasps.
PhoneLobster: DM : Mr Monkey doesn't like it. Eldritch : Mr Monkey can do what he is god damn told.
MGuy: The point is to normalize 'my' point of view. How the fuck do you think civil rights occurred? You think things got this way because people sat down and fucking waited for public opinion to change?

Quotes from potential jurors for Martin Shkreli's trial-

"The only thing I’d be impartial about is what prison this guy goes to."

"I don’t like this person at all. I just can’t understand why he would be so stupid as to take an antibiotic which H.I.V. people need and jack it up five thousand percent. I would honestly, like, seriously like to go over there—” (Judge: “Sir, thank you”)

“I have total disdain for the man”

“I’m aware of the defendant and I hate him”

“he’s a greedy little man”

“he’s the most hated man in America”

“There was something about him. I can’t be fair. There was something that didn’t look right.”

“when I walked in here today I looked at him, and in my head, that’s a snake—not knowing who he was—I just walked in and looked right at him and that’s a snake.”

Judge: “The question is, have you heard anything that would affect your ability to decide this case with an open mind. Can you do that?”
Juror: “I don’t think I can, because he kind of looks like a dick.”

"He disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan."

"I already sense the man is guilty."
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.

So . . if everybody in 'murica hates him and he thus can't get a fair trial . . what happens then?

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

He already got a fair trail. They dismissed over 200 perspective jurors, but eventually found 12 that worked. He was convicted.

The transcripts only get released after the trial is over.

(chastising the boys for fighting instead of bringing their problem to mom and dad)
erik: You want something stopped, you bring it to someone with the power to stop it. And who has the power here? Mommy and daddy.
both little eriks in stereo: Mommy
erik: What? No! Mommy, go to your room.
mrs erik dies laughing at my impotence.
erik: Well, I have power over the cats anyway. (commanding our little biter cat) Bite mommy's toes tonight.


The secret to my power over cats is that I only tell them to do what they were going to do anyway.
