It was pretty useful until I had an argument with my mom and the lights would constantly turn off and on.

Yup, 3 years of WoW with no mic did so much more for my typing speed than typing lessons ever did.

I would think this guy was being so over-the-top cartoonishly evil on purpose just to get us to grow a spine and rise up to overthrow the corrupt government if we were actually growing a spine and rising up to overthrow the government.

People like things to fit into neat little boxes. If you're smart, you're smart. If you're dumb, you're dumb. If you're smart in some ways, and dumb in others, you're confusing and they hate it.

4 beers had me puking in my friend's bathroom. 1 beer would probably make me an unsafe driver.

I got shitfaced drunk from 4 beers once; I can't handle alcohol for shit. But yeah, the big concern is a sober alcoholic accidentally relapsing.

That's a fair point. I was thinking it was kinda like being the technical prince of the Ottoman empire or some other country that no longer exists - a neat factoid to talk about, but otherwise not really relevant.

I mean, if killing a person or making them fall in love with you are against the rules, it seems that you're not meant to use wishes to fuck with people. Sure, Jafar does, but he's the villain - given Genie's good nature, I'd imagine he wouldn't let his wishes do that unless the wisher specifically forced it, which Aladdin wouldn't do.

Fucking with people by making them suddenly be a citizen of a completely new country, or suddenly not be the ruler of the country they previously ruled would probably be something Genie would avoid, and Aladdin wouldn't press him on it, even if it's not specifically covered under the quick list of rules Genie gave.

Yeah, I'll often grab an energy drink from the gas station and chug it before continuing on during a long drive. Luckily I don't drink this brand.

He absolutely can blame it on Biden, and when he does - if he addresses it at all - all of his constituents and plenty of other people who aren't paying attention will believe him. I know this was just a funny observation, but it's important that we're cognizant of how the truth won't save us, and won't expose him as a fraud to his supporters. We're in this position because the wealthy have taken control of the narrative to the extent that they decide what the majority of the people think, and the only way to make things right again is to physically take it back. If pointing out the inconsistencies in Trumps statements was enough to stop him, he'd have been out of the presidential running in the 2016 primaries.

I always thought he was a "fake prince" because he was the prince of a country that didn't exist. Like, sure, you're the prince of this nonexistent country, see how far that gets you I guess. Otherwise Genie would either have to make new land out of nowhere somehow, or displace people who already lived/ruled in a location, which seems somewhat against the rules.

You shouldn't have to, but you do have to. The world isn't going to fix itself - these things are happening because our country and its people have been slowly influenced over the course of decades specifically not to put up a fuss about it. We need to fight against that conditioning that tells us we deserve to be able to step away and ignore it. We do deserve that, but to allow ourselves that out is to continue allowing these atrocities to happen. We've been pushed into such stressful, overstimulating lives that putting up a fight seems impossible, but we need to fight it even if it means putting our lives on the line.
