Ah, so it's a matter of contrast? The guillotines are a sign of good times, relative to the even worse times before?

Ah, I'm unfortunately not familiar with that one. I only know the Guillotines from the French revolution, where they indicated the worst of times.

I don't think I understand. When things are good, there are dead little girls in coal mines?

Guillotine aren't a sign of good times. They're a sign of times so bad that violence has become the only viable way of salvaging them in the eyes of the majority. They may be harbingers of good times, but they don't indicate them.

I've never had a Jew bother me about accepting their religion at a bus stop despite my best efforts to first politely dissuade them, then rudely dismissed their bullshit until I snapped and got outright hostile and offensive.

Really proud of myself on that front. Had a lengthy, mosrly one-on-one workshop these past two days that I managed to do well with holding fairly relaxed eye contact on. The guy I worked with is super easygoing so it felt a lot less straining and awkward than some other, more intense eye-contact-holders.

Huh, the ones I've seen always say to flush thoroughly, and I've been told it's to prevent a potential buildup of residue from clogging the toilet or bursting a pipe. Maybe that's outdated info, or because of a different formula? Wouldn't be the first time some old wisdom doesn't apply to modern products anymore.

That's what I was trying to allude to. Whoever is left is either not competent enough or unwilling to call him out (possibly because being employed is generally more important than being right).

Why do you piss in bleach?

Safe-ish, until some other driver on the crossing road approaches way faster than estimated, sees the light go yellow and floors it. Sure, they might see it in time, but there's a risk they don't. My dad once didn't see a crossing car at a yield intersection despite looking that way and got T-boned. He didn't think he was doing anything unsafe either.

Still safer than just blazing through though, so I guess partial credit for being carefully impatient?

I don't think she's particularly good looking, which may just be personal taste, but in any case doesn't matter in the slightest. She's not running for Miss America, she's running for President.

Not that I hold any particular love for beauty contests either, but - like Harris' looks - that's irrelevant here.

I like how Julius' lines fit the pentameter, but Brittanus' "What?" shits right past it.
