Why were people afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles?
They might collide with shitty metaphors. You have to be at the same speed.
Freeway violence was a trope in the 80s. People shot at each other in road rage incidents that most notoriously happened in LA.
Steve Martin's movie LA Story has a scene that deals with this in a comic way.
damn...
how will egalitarianism ever recover?

This was satire you know. The idea that you can't swear in public has nothing to do with egalitarianism.

Hey look, me and Chomsky have similar ideas about critical theory, only he's humouring you guys.
I'll say it explicitly. Critical theory is snake oil nonsense. So is literary theory and gender theory

So are Chomsky's views on politics.

"If I were incapable of undoing his plots, I would have had to have been a madman to pursue such a colossal project."
This doesn't seem correct.
Context: The speaker, who has embarked on a massive project in the past (which continues into the present), is scoffing at the idea that he couldn't subvert another character's subterfuges.

ANE is interesting and that's it. It's the cradle of western civilisation. Interesting parts of it are its civilizations, how it influenced the greeks, jews and todays near east countries.
gilgamesh is the closest thing we have to original literature; untainted by any preceding cultural influence.
“There are in every man, always, two simultaneous allegiances, one to God, the other to Satan. Invocation of God, or Spirituality, is a desire to climb higher; that of Satan, or animality, is delight in descent.”

okay so first off, I know this will get called fake probably before anyone even looks at the full tracklist but the fact is I'm working at Sony and we had a leak of info and I wanted to bless the community. Was gonna do it on Reddit but fuck Reddit, decided I'd give 4chan something interesting to talk about.
So this is the tracklist and 1 of the 3 covers that are gonna be used because Travis wants to go all out on the packaging of this album so decided to use 3 covers, this is not gonna be the digital cover btw I'm keeping that a surprise. The last 4 tracks are bonus tracks but I believe LCRC and Easy are not included on physicals because of time length issues, or maybe its A Man and G&P that wont be included I don't remember. But the rollout for it starts in a couple of weeks he's releasing a music video for Faded, then the pre-order the next week that will include Butterfly Effect, Faded, & maybe Hop Out. And also Remedy will probably be released before the album drops too. And I know some will think its fake because theres a song called "Hurricane" and assume its about Harvey but the song actually has nothing to do with Harvey it was made back in March/April and its produced by Murda. Theres most likely no mention of Harvey on the album anywhere because this was all done before that unless something gets changed. And no I haven't heard any of the songs except Butterfly Effect.
