lol what
nah seriously, whatever you think of the world-view of "extremist" political ideologies it's not really the same as Truthing and it exists as part of a program - however unreal, however utopian - that wants to govern

xpost i guess some might argue that expressions like "double dutch" or "it's all greek to me" are racist, but the game's existed for decades if not centuries before the telephone.

It certainly explains the sweeping federal anti-gun legislation that was passed immediately afterwards and how you can't buy guns anywhere anymore.

I knew about Chinese whispers because Dr. Who said it once low and behold when I searched about it I found a ton of who nerds debating as to whether this made the Doctor racially insensitive or not because sometimes nerds like to forget that the things characters say are written by mere mortal humans, sometimes living in the 1970s. Anyway....

xxp LOL. That's actually much more reasonable than I'd expect a random Facebook post to be. "Hey I don't like the man, but I respect the office!" is a nice sentiment that seems to have disappeared in the past 12 years.

I can sit in a pretty extreme full lotus position and have been able to do so since I was very young, I don't know if it's because I'm double-jointed somehow or if learning what it was when I was tiny and bendy left me able to do it forevermore. #braggin2013

I think people are generally more limber when they are younger so its a good idea to train your body to do stuff then. I could do lotus-style when I was like 12 but now its hard for me to put socks on. I need to lose weight and get into shape.
