        You jest, but I honestly always wondered about that… does Xavier only have telepathy and no telekinetic abilities at all? I feel like he should be flying around all Magneto-style (in an upright position, rather than planking like Supes)

      They invite me to stand in front of their car. That means I get to block traffic without repercussion, and they’ll be charged with assault if they try to stop me.

          If you’ve seen the car’s back you have its licence plate. You can take a photo of it and record the interaction.

        If your action of standing in front of their car can be construed as a protest, they are legally permitted to run you down, per some fuckwit judge.

    The funny part about this is it legally shows a mens rea of intent to harm. So if your argument for running down protesters is you were in fear of your life, this sticker completely destroys it and gets you put away.

        But doesn’t actually pay any taxes himself. He ends up net positive after taking the standard deduction, child tax credit, and earned income credit, which is funded by the taxes he hates so much.

      Car size is proportional to car owner’s stupidity. The dumber you are, the fancier the idea of mindless communication on the road is for you. And stupid people want their message to be the biggest around, but you can’t do that while writing normally, so, you get what you get.

      At least that’s my theory.

        I think it is more that the appeal of forms of communication where you can exclaim things without having to worry about pesky things like responses increases the dumber the things you want to say are.

        No, the full quote starts off with “But you know as well as I, patriotism…” and I feel the preface dulls the impact of the statement.

        But if you want the full meaning then you should read all of the books over and over again. At least that’s what worked for me.
