Today I learned that the line from the song "Yankee Doodle", "called it macaroni", which never made sense to me, refers to a weird fashion of the time that involved wearing a huge wig with a small hat atop it.

A Trumpist once told me the left lost because America rejected progressivism . Then i would love him to explain why Bernie is so beloved and progressive ideas are so popular with the general public . Just because good idea don't wind up winning the election does not make them unpopular .

I never get how Conservatives can like Superman .
He's refugee
He punches Nazi's and racists
And his arch nemesis is a rich white CEO

Can i just say i'm sick of people using metaphysics as a means defending shit that's indistinguishable for shit someone just made up . Anyone treats this a valid method isn't all there or has an agenda .

I once went to a metaphysician to find out what was wrong with me. It turned out to be everything and nothing.
