1.) You can’t stop violence with more violence any more than you can stop ignorance with more ignorance or darkness with more dark. In the end, the opposite of war is civilization. Even “good” causes, when you back them with violence, they’re corrupted by violence.

8.) Videos of dropping fizzy bath things into bathtubs get a lot of hits on youtube. We are too lazy to drop our own fizzy things into tubs.

12.) Couple hours fixing the deck with my pop I realize how Jesus dealt with the cross… carpentry is probably more painful. MY KNEES YOU GUYS.

13.) If it helps Game of Thrones addicts, I can post “SPOILERS: THERE WERE DRAGONS AND TITS” once a week for you until next season.

14.) The ability to pause and consider your sadness, to sink into the depths of your ennui, that itself is a kind of privilege many don’t have.
