All right, so taste aside, I would make the argument that Dickens’ writing is absolutely not “top class” by virtue of the fact that he was paid by the word and many have argued this contributed to his style of employing a lot of run-on sentences in his work. Don’t get me wrong—I do think he was a good writer, but I tend to agree that his verbosity detracted from the quality of his writing, not added to it.
No, that’s not how humor works. The person telling the joke never knows the comedic mechanism they’re employing, that’s why it’s funny.
So, riposte and reverso! You are the one to be Hellbound!
My empathy for coal miners holds until they refuse to retrain to get out of their dying industry and support politicians who fight to repeal laws meant to stop us from poisoning the world just so they can keep their admittedly shitty jobs.
Institute drones. So, underground MIT shadow government.
I would think being tall would help when you’re protesting women’s rights—more people can see your neck beard.
The ATM’s not working for you, I take it?
Wow. You know there have to be people alive to fix this climate problem, right? “Oh, we done fucked the world up, time to species suicide!”
Drink some tea, dude.

Poor kid. It’s the mom who should be punished, not him. Obviously, there are ethics considerations but these are the kinds of stories that make me momentarily feel like forced sterilization isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Should have let the worms finish their job.
Republicans: “We have learned nothing from prohibition and refuse to try!”
This is not normal behavior. This person is a sociopath and society needs to know who he is.
I wish people would stop throwing clinical terms around like this. Socio/psychopathy is a complicated psychiatric disorder with distinct behavioral and psychological markers, not a synonym for “evil.”
Sadly, you don’t need a psychiatric disorder to engage in despicable behavior. “Normal” people are quite capable of being racist, sexist douchebags, and most racist, sexist douchebags are not mentally ill. Bigotry is a product of culture, not abnormal psychology.
I don’t think this is a particularly bright segment of the population we’re talking about here.
Because it’s what makes us better than him.
Criminals don’t care about the rule of law. Does that mean we civilians should just execute shoplifters in the streets without trial or due process?
What are you talking about? He got SCOTUS to say everything he does as president is legal, remember? He’ll never do time for anything.
No! They’ll steal our jobs!
Only if you’re a sucker.
Men, be good to yourselves. Don’t make women the object of your self-esteem, they’re not worth it. No one is worth it. Only you are worth it; that’s why it’s called self-esteem!
Catholic Church = Child Molester Haven.
Pretty simple.
“Terryology may have some merits and deserves consideration.”
I don’t hold this opinion, but I can guarantee you it’s unpopular.
