 @4a888f94 speaking of notre dame, the last time i was in paris I had to choose between going to shakespeare and company (a venerable bookstore) or go halfway across the seine to the cathedral.

Oh well. Shakespeare and company is still open for business 
 It’s tradition to say that the most prevalent police matters in this town are (in order) bicycle thefts, people biking without lights, drunk uni students getting up to stuff, and graffiti teenagers on drugs

 @2a70c54d a guesstimation: the word idiot comes from the ancient greek word for being uninterested in the matter of the (city) state. They have no politics, no thoughts, no ideas. All they have is sports team supporter mindsets and wedge issues in opposition to the other side. Owning the libs is all they strive for. Conditioned through media that woke is peak liberal, so they hate it like they’re dogs salivating when they hear a bell.

 When I find myself needing to make a decision that will have a real long term impact on me, I like to employ a method I developed that I have named wishful magical thinking avoiding the problem. It may also work for finding positions to take in complicated issues if I’m not too picky. There’s a highly motivational self help book coming out in time for christmas. Be sure to check it out.

If you marry, you will regret it; if you do not marry, you will also regret it; if you marry or do not marry, you will regret both; Laugh at the world’s follies, you will regret it, weep over them, you will also regret that; laugh at the world’s follies or weep over them, you will regret both; whether you laugh at the world’s follies or weep over them, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it, believe her not,
