  • I had a teacher confidently tell the class that Mt. Everest didn’t border China (well Tibet really, but that’s a battle for another day). I will say she was able to concede she was mistaken. I had another teacher hit on me when I was in high school while I was alone with her in the copy room. I had always heard some salacious rumors about her, but I always assumed they were just idle gossip until that day. That was a different kind of wrong. And no, I didn’t take her up on the advance.

    I’m assuming English isn’t your first language, so just as an FYI, wrongest isn’t a word. “Most false” is probably the best fit in this instance. Just one of those weird quirks of this bastard language.





  • To quote Tool:

    I’ve got some bad advice for you, little buddy
    Before you point your finger, you should know that I’m the man
    If I’m the fuckin’ man, then you’re the fuckin’ man as well
    So you can point that fuckin’ finger up your ass

    All you know about me is what I’ve sold ya, dumb fuck
    I sold out long before you’d ever heard my name
    I sold my soul to make a record, dipshit
    And then you bought one

    All you read and wear or see and hear on TV
    Is a product begging for your fat-ass, dirty dollar
    Shut up and buy, buy, buy my new record
    And buy, buy, buy, send more money




  • Forced to flee for having a divergent opinion, fucking dumb even by Taliban standards

    Edit: thinking about this some more, I feel like this situation perfectly encapsulates why authoritarianism is so self destructive. You end up with a rigid set of ideas that are completely inflexible. Reality must bend to the ideas of the party rather than the other way around, until the party’s line becomes so incongruent with reality that things come tumbling down in an instant. It’s a shame the Taliban seem ok with Afghanistan remaining impoverished so long as they can continue treating women like shit.
