telephone pole.
mircea_popescu: for
the love of all
that is literate, can
this fanfic wave of subtards gargling words END ALREADY
mircea_popescu: "If you have not guessed it already,
this dear and daring beast was a Wyvern. A Wyverary, if we are
to be
taxonomically accurate, for
though his mother was a proper Wyvern, his father was a library.
That only sounds strange if both of your parents were precisely
the same sort of animal, which hardly ever happens, when you really
think about it." << holy shit HOW CAN
THEY BE
THIS
TEDIOUS.

mircea_popescu: just like everything else "worked", just like how "liberalism" even became a

a111: Logged on 2016-11-26 16:03 mircea_popescu: anyway, if anyone's keeping
track,
the "kow
towing" must've not went all
too well, because "the editorial board" of
the nyt decided for
the you know, "independents", "liberals" and
the rest of
the us red army
that
the correct approach is
to

trump
through
the emoluments clause, sometime in 2018ish.
