Although if I really have to choose, it’ll be 2, but I’ll silently complain he whole time

The present is now, old fella

Brillant. Unlawful, but brilliant.

Wow. You’re like my polar opposite. Code is a sign of rising depression for me. When I start working on my projets, it’s time to worry because it means I’ve lost all taste for human interaction, or food, or… sleep.

Oh, not them. I suppose they meant among non-right wingers. I always found quite explicit they aren’t welcome here. Not today, not ever.

Well yes, sadly, we can’t embrace a cosmic perspective, because it’s not ours. We can have a human perspective though.

What the…am I reading? Lemmy truly is a beautiful place.

Being uneducated is one thing, being rude is clearly another, indeed. I’m sorry you went through this.

As a quite uneducated person on this question, I suppose some people have a very bad understanding of what “being trans” means… or are fascists…

Or both. Actually maybe both.

Hmmm… I may skip this one. This one requires a… special mood I guess (upvoting though!)

Also from H2G2, behold the majestic : " -Perhaps I’m old and tired, but I think that the chances of finding out what’s actually going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say, “Hang the sense of it,” and keep yourself busy. I’d far rather be happy than right any day.

-And are you?

-Ah. No. Well that’s where it all falls down, of course "

I like it even better in the movie, Bill Nighy embodies this sentence perfectly.

Came for the second, stayed for the first

Hmmm. I’ll try to remember this one, thank you, that’s a real gift.

A life lesson I’ll learn one day. Trying my best though, but it’ll take time. Thanks for sharing.

I like it. Remember where it’s from?

Love this one. Used to teach students in political science about the horrible thing that “political ventiloquism” is.

I suppose it’s less about the quote origin and more about what we make it to mean :)

Recently, I learned about a historical quote, from French PM Daladier on his way back from Munich where he knew he gave everything to Hitler.

He got out his plane, expecting to be lynched or thrown oranges at, and people, when he realized people were praising him as a herald of “peace”, let out this magnificent “Ah… what a bunch of idiots”.

It’s beautiful and I can understand why it sticks… Thanks for letting us know!!

Oh and there’s also this one ftom H2G2 :

Slartibartfast: Perhaps I’m old and tired, but I think that the chances of finding out what’s actually going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say, “Hang the sense of it,” and keep yourself busy. I’d much rather be happy than right any day. Arthur Dent: And are you? Slartibartfast: Ah, no. [laughs, snorts] Slartibartfast: Well, that’s where it all falls down, of course
