Corn Flakes were invented to intentionally be so soul-crushingly bland it would destroy your urge to masturbate.

I know what you're talking about. I'm very selective with the fiction I read, and it usually has some deeper significance or abstract concept it's illustrating through narrative.

The enemy of my enemy and all that

He absolutely attempted, but Congress firmly asserted their authority in the matter.

Didn't he try to block shipments to Israel back in May, but Congress smacked that down saying that they're the ones who make that decision?

This is a variation on an old joke. The way I heard it originally, it was a Jew that owned the bar and the bigoted customer was an antisemite.

That much is obvious, but probably not for the reason you think.

Are you positive? I feel like I need a source on that

Was not expecting to see anyone else talk about Library Takeout.

I like a lot of obscure songs. Here's one of my random faves: Swamp - Mid-Air Thief

Hence "bone-chilling"

If you can find a product you actually believe in, sales can be pretty nice

Because feels > reals, obviously

Vance didnt lie about shit

Probably because he did in fact lie about many things. It probably didn't help that he has explicitly said that just making stuff up is his strategy to win.

The fact is no one there on that day felt provoked by it.

You and I have different definitions of the word "fact".

Three people attempted to murder him, unprovoked.

I would certainly consider roaming the streets openly wielding a firearm to fall under a reasonable definition of "provocation". It is unreasonable to expect a person on the street to distinguish between an active shooter and a "good guy with a gun".

It's almost like the "good guy with a gun" is an idiotic idea which turns situations into powder kegs of confusion and violence where everyone thinks they're the good guy and bullets start flying.

You say that as if it makes less sense
