  • It's not that vampires are killed by stakes and werewolves by silver bullets. Vampires are killed by weapons of the peasantry and werewolves are killed by weapons of the aristocracy.

    A kalashnikov would kill a vampire, and a hellfire missile would kill a werewolf.

    An AR-15, being a weapon of the petit bourgeois, would kill neither.

    How can I be better liked in communities?

    How can I be better liked in communities? I put myself out there, I go to hobby groups and various other social groups all the time, but it's really been feeling like most communities I'm in, at best, I'm someone you talk to for a bit until the people you actually want to see show up or can talk to you. Or if I'm in a group conversation, I'm slowly pushed out. That's if people talk to me at all. I rarely feel valued in any group, I mostly feel like filler. How can I be better liked?

    Why has the Democratic Party learned nothing about their most successful campaign in recent memory?

    Every Democratic campaign I've been old enough to understand could always be summed up with one sentence: "Vote for us or else the Republican will do evil things". A completely negative message, nothing about why I SHOULD vote for them, just about why I should vote against the Republican.

    There's one exception. Obama 2008. This campaign was all about all the good things he was going to do, all the positive change that was going to happen. The word "Change" was so associated with his campaign, it was a meme for years. And Obama won by an absolute landslide.

    Now, of course, Obama's actual presidency, he didn't do ANY of that, and instead, was just another war criminal, like every other president. But I do believe a big reason why libs deify him so much is his 2008 campaign, and I think that carried him to victory in 2012 as well. (Even though in 2012, they DID do a bit of that "vote for the Democrat or the Republican will do bad things, and if I was able to see that after they did that

    Is it weird that gingerbread people live in gingerbread houses?

    Do gingerbread people feel weird about living in gingerbread houses, that their house is made of the same material as their flesh, or in gingerbread world, is the material only the same on an atomic level, like how humans are made of carbon and so are most building materials?
