It also doesn't say that the track isn't already headed away from the people.

Uh, deal? I walk up to the third door and pull a gold ball from it. I shrug at the madman.

Also, it doesn't say I can only open one box, and all three doors should still have at least one gold ball remaining.

I've always been more of a "Regulus of Antimony" or "Rutile"

Just worth pointing out: three of the five children eaten by Saturn(Cronus)were women, and the very first was Vesta(Hestia).

HAHA, if nothing else, that's certainly a justification.

According to Wikipedia, modern pronunciation agrees with us ("FEE"), but apparently ancient Greeks would have pronounced it "FEY" (or "FEY-EE", I can't quite tell to what degree epsilon-iota was a diphthong).

Fair, I like that analogy. I realized that the way I phrased it sounded rather dismissive of the practices which, honestly, I am, but it seemed overly harsh, so I deleted it

Truly the manosphere made manifest.

Worse yet, this is just a way to try to hierarchically categorize yourself as being simultaneously:

  1. part of an in-group,
  2. better than others
  3. a paragon of your sex

It's just so pitifully shallow. Like, if you're going to stroke your own ego, at least do it with something unique to yourself. Define yourself by the people, experiences and things with which you surround yourself. Define yourself by the things you do. Literally anything that would make you more than a penis with wrapping paper and a voice-recorded greeting card saying how awesome the penis is.

This needs far more upvotes than it has. Maybe people aren't familiar with the correct pronunciation of that letter?

 

In response to a comment in another thread where someone asked if anyone was keeping track of all of the illegal and unethical crap being pulled by the Orange Fascist-In-Chief and Melon Husk, I am posting this as a P.S.A. and resource for everyone finding it difficult to remember every crime. There is at least one journalistic source still committed to the ideal of integrity in the face of fascism. That this beacon of the fourth estate is a satire website is a sign of the timeline we have found ourselves in.
