This will never stop being funny.

Okay, what is this country that wouldn't imprison Julian Assange? I don't think it exists. I think you live in a country that would have imprisoned Assange and Edward Snowden.

Which would make you a hypocrite.

Yeah, I recently realized how "ick" parts of it are, so idk if I can listen to it and enjoy it anymore. But it was their best album!

I just didn't question it or really think about it, hearing it mentioned made me "hmm...that WAS weird."

Same kinda process with "In the Aeroplane over the Sea" lmao

Same, I've always assumed (and still do) that this is essentially what it means. The labor aristocracy and vassal states of the US are rewarded for their loyalty.

I haven't read it, and this probably isn't what CriticalOtaku meant but someone elsewhere in the thread said Scott is supposedly the top fighter in Toronto. I take it Scott is confident, maybe even arrogant, based on the comments here.

I'm now imagining Michael Cera playing a douchey UFC champion bideo bamer.

Yeah it would explain a lot. I wish someone had told me "I think you might have ADHD" when I was younger. I was a grown ass man going around thinking "I am completely neuroptypical", ignoring all the signs being glaringly obvious, and making fun of "spergs", who I definitely totally didn't understand (most of my friends at any given time).

Ironically it was a coworker who had been diagnosed in his 30s and had since experienced his life drastically improving, who approached me. He told me I should get tested, but I was extremely skeptical. He then proceeded to nail me to the fucking wall by listing all the strange behaviors he'd observed, including shit I was shit doing while he was talking to me

In hindsight, it was extremely obvious. But it's so easy to chalk up to personal quirks and the default assumption is neuroptypical. Especially if you're over a certain age or part of an underserved group who didn't have access to mental health services.

As a white person

In all seriousness, how do I tell if I'm white? I keep thinking about another user's example of Assad. He appears white-passing, but his name, religion and nationality would each be enough for him to be considered non-white in the US.

And is a case like that one where it actually matters to what extent the person identifies with whiteness?
