It's like voting; obviously all I can control is my own actions, so I'll do what I can, but if too many people stay home our chances drop significantly.

Regular people who have been pacified by a lifetime of "violence isn't the answer" and "if you fight back, you're just as bad." I hope we find the will to resist, but I worry we're too far gone.
It was pretty useful until I had an argument with my mom and the lights would constantly turn off and on.
Yup, 3 years of WoW with no mic did so much more for my typing speed than typing lessons ever did.
People like things to fit into neat little boxes. If you're smart, you're smart. If you're dumb, you're dumb. If you're smart in some ways, and dumb in others, you're confusing and they hate it.
4 beers had me puking in my friend's bathroom. 1 beer would probably make me an unsafe driver.
I got shitfaced drunk from 4 beers once; I can't handle alcohol for shit. But yeah, the big concern is a sober alcoholic accidentally relapsing.
That's a fair point. I was thinking it was kinda like being the technical prince of the Ottoman empire or some other country that no longer exists - a neat factoid to talk about, but otherwise not really relevant.
I mean, if killing a person or making them fall in love with you are against the rules, it seems that you're not meant to use wishes to fuck with people. Sure, Jafar does, but he's the villain - given Genie's good nature, I'd imagine he wouldn't let his wishes do that unless the wisher specifically forced it, which Aladdin wouldn't do.
Fucking with people by making them suddenly be a citizen of a completely new country, or suddenly not be the ruler of the country they previously ruled would probably be something Genie would avoid, and Aladdin wouldn't press him on it, even if it's not specifically covered under the quick list of rules Genie gave.
Yeah, I'll often grab an energy drink from the gas station and chug it before continuing on during a long drive. Luckily I don't drink this brand.
I always thought he was a "fake prince" because he was the prince of a country that didn't exist. Like, sure, you're the prince of this nonexistent country, see how far that gets you I guess. Otherwise Genie would either have to make new land out of nowhere somehow, or displace people who already lived/ruled in a location, which seems somewhat against the rules.
It definitely was, but now I can only find this pic.
