Shit, and here I was thinking I like white robots because white is my second favorite color. Damn, that makes me racist, doesn't it?

Calling him a narcissist isn't really an insult either way. It's just a fact about him. The dude only cares about himself.

It looks like the real benefit of the doubt is that he's hopefully talking about laws on voter ID being fixed. Still, what the hell is a presidential candidate doing telling people they don't need to vote anymore? Even with the benefit of the doubt, this shit is ominous.

Edit: to be clear, I don't give him the benefit of the doubt. All I'm saying is if somebody wants to, this is the best they're able to do. It's also important to be aware of the context of the quote, even if you believe he means it in the worst way.

I think it would be best if we just avoided the whole cult mentality thing, personally.

I'm unable to hear lock him up much at all. "Loh 'im uh!" is the closest I can get when forcing it... I'm just not hearing any Ks or Ps at the end of those words, no matter how hard I try.

The words "the Lord of the Rings trilogy." are darker and lower than the rest of the text. Its definitely edited.

I personally recommend watching all of GoT in order, not because it's good, but because you won't appreciate the flawless genius of S8E3 without the other 7 seasons of context. It's a slow drag through those 7 seasons, but once it picks up in the last 5 episodes, it'll all be worth it, I swear. There's so much character development packed into those episodes that they'll seem like completely different people!

Imagine not being able to take a jab back without complaining. 😂

Why would you like to need to finance a pizza from domino's? You wouldn't. The whole meme format is that the last option sucks.

Hint: America’s ‘literally’ and its dog-food spelling isn’t the leader.

Okay? I'm talking about American English. Everybody's languages evolve differently based on their culture. I'm American, so American English is what I know best.

It doesn't change magically. It changes through continuous usage and acceptance from society. That's how language works.

Some examples. When was the last time you heard somebody say something was "awful", as in awe inspiring? When a kid says literally, do you take them 100% seriously or do you accept that the word's changed to be a synonym for "figuratively" among younger people? And as far as spelling is concerned, colour and color are both correct spellings, depending on where you live. Gray vs grey, acknowledgment vs acknowledgement, same thing. Or look at barbecue vs barbeque; the latter was incorrect for a very long time until the popularization of the abbreviation BBQ, after which it became a commonly accepted variant.

These things were not always correct, and yet, now they are. Society adopts and uses different meanings and spellings for words all the time. Sorry friend, you're not the arbiter of English. It changes with or without you onboard.
