"It is easier to lie to people than to convince them they have been lied to."
- Mark Twain



"No one is hated more than the man who tells the truth." - Plato

Suppose you have a kid...who finds that he has the urge to fuck a toaster. In the past, he'd either keep it to himself and learn to live with it, or, if he mentioned it to someone else, they'd tell him he was crazy and pretty much the same thing would happen. Now, he goes online and finds that there's a whole community dedicated to toaster-fucking. Hell, there's an entire Reddit about it (I have no idea if there is actually a toaster-fucking Reddit). So he starts talking online to toaster-fuckers world wide, and they tell him that it's a wonderful hobby, and completely normal, and that anyone who opposes him is oppressing him. This ability to connect can be a wonderful tool for people who are actually facing oppression, but it also magnifies the fringe, and the deviant and the dangerous. Couple this with a media that wants to celebrate anything that is against traditional Western mores and common sense, and pretty soon you have Congressmen introducing bills that toaster-fuckers are a Constitutionally protected class, and anyone who dares say 'Uh, dude, you shouldn't do that” is ostracized. And so the kid winds up burning his dick off. -Weird Dave @ Ace of Spades

A fad-twofer!

Toaster fucking with a sex change happy ending.

Instead of double trouble, double happy.


Although uniquely weird, tide-pods were only a single victory for the ego.

“Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:

- Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
- Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
- Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
- Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
- Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
- Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”

― Marcus Tullius Cicero

Funny and magnificent.

This is awesome and I have seen it, with my own two eyes, and some understanding of what I was seeing.

Things that should not be in the minds of MEN, should be left to the cold logic to deal with.

“To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare one’s self to die.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero


“The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

Did you hear that?
It’s faint, but once heard can’t be unheard. Listen …

"Oh hell, I wouldn’t lower myself to spit out more than a few words to those unworthy of my brilliance."

Do you hear it?

And to that I say, what are you saving it for?
Tomorrow?

“The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves.”

― Cicero

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

- Macbeth the Nihilist
