    There's nothing to disagree with

    The problem tolerating intolerance is it only works if the intolerants, in turn, also let you express yourself after they gain power, which they won't, because they are intolerant. You need to be lucky every time and they only need to be lucky once. And the only thing preventing the disaster is that there isn't an infinite amount of time ahead of you

    I thought I made people mad by ordering a curry chicken sandwich in a student-ran shop in college, but I hadn't paid attention to an announcement that was made at the end of the class and I accidentally interrupted the minute of silence for a terrorist attack that had happened a few days before

    When I was 12 learning C from a programmer friend

    "This is too complicated"

    "Why does it matter if it's complicated?"

    Yeah actually, I don't have a reason to feel threatened by complicated things. There is no cost to tiring your brain, no cost to doing something tedious

  • Un petit monsieur barbu avec qui perdait ses cheveux et avec des lunettes rondes, qui allait à des évènements politiques, que ce soit des meetings, des conférences de presse ou juste dans la salle des trois colonnes à l'Assemblée dans le but de faire des interviews rigolotes avec des politiques. Il était toujours en train de les draguer. Internet ne semble avoir gardé aucune trace de lui
