I'm not gonna go looking for scans or anything, but KnowYourMeme lists the popularity of this one as starting between 2013 and 2015, and I definitely remember seeing this phrase in a textbook around 2010 or 2011. So honestly, I might blame Pearson or McGraw Hill.

No problem, yo!

And to be fair, communication is always two-way. It"s not like I don't want the public to be more thoughtful in their disagreements.

Have a good one.

Okay so, this is a rhetoric problem.

This phrase here:

I disagree with the premise, the Holocaust was unique.

You lost the crowd immediately. The thrust of Walz' position is that people should be more aware of the ubiquity of genocidal thinking, and in your first sentence, you put yourself in opposition to him.

Even though you agree with Walz later in spirit, the immediate impression is that you're downplaying other genocides by over-fixating on the shock and horror of this one in particular, and it takes you way too long to clear up your position.

If you had phrased this as "added context" or "an additional fun fact" or "some ways in which the holocaust was unique," it becomes much harder to disagree with you. Your audience isn't primed immediately to be angry, and you beget much more charitability, at least from those who aren't insane.

This is exactly what I tell people who want to drink their own cum. Like, how can society trust you, man.

It is, yeah. The electoral college isn't specifically what I was referring to, but yeah, it would be nice if something like the Interstate Compact could get enough traction to do what it needs to.

The beginning of the consecrated snowfield, the only place in the game that has fog like this, is one of the more memorable parts of the game in my opinion. I'm really confused by this.

It's not hiding how empty the area is, it's a lost woods challenge a la Ocarina of Time.

The votes in non-swing states still contribute to overwhelming support and popularity, which we'll need when Trump's cronies try to undermine the election.

You're not as pivotal as a Georgian, but you're still very valuable. <3

Sure, but plenty of things I don't like I still wouldn't call a waste of time and effort.

Both individuals engaged in that act should be free to consent to the act, and revoke that consent at any time.

Again, reiterating: children that have no understanding of sexual acts, or what they entail, [...]

I like how you keep putting up these disclaimers like they're supposed to absolve you of being a weirdo, but you keep building in these little exceptions for "very mature" children.

Mystik, how much the child knows about sex does not matter. That's not why it's illegal.

IMO, legally, I don't care. If someone wants to put themselves into this situation, then fine. It doesn't really affect me.

Why... would it affect you. What on earth are you talking about?

You know, one guy murdering another guy over a pack of raisins doesn't affect you, but I have no earthly idea why this should stop you from caring it happened.

I often say this about my cancer treatments.

It's probably more about Steam lacking good ways to filter these things out.

You know, they added "funny" to their review upvote system, maybe they should do that for guides too. Then you can just omit them. :p
