Don’t use inline code / code blocks formatting for text. There’s no line breaks and the syntax highlighting is nonsense.

Oh, so you’re against the lesser evil because you just want more evil.

How are you not blocked by everyone? Here, I’ll help.

“Voting for Harris won’t change this foreign atrocity!”

Foreign atrocity remains unchanged, but now you’ve got domestic atrocities.

“See! I’m helping!”

If you’re not selling them, they should be free.

… and if it did, fuck them kids. The gross side of the internet won’t kill you.

Massive incentives to innovate The Next Big Thing and zero incentives to maintain shit people actually use. See also 2000-era Fox killing off every fantastic new show that wasn’t instantly as big as The Simpsons. And also constantly letting football interrupt The Simpsons.

“The trinity makes as much sense as Javascript” is a vulgar condemnation of Christian dogma.

Vulcans take improv classes to act “normal.” They’re a surprise onstage because they never play the straight man. Being that one degree off from their sincere personality is confusing, difficult, and psychologically troublesome. But they can take a pratfall with comedic timing analyzed to the millisecond.

… actually, improv comedy is a great way to demonstrate understanding of a culture. Vulcans would make analytic connections between subjects in a heartbeat, and with some training they’d be excellent lateral thinkers. The gap between that and comedy is understanding expectations and violating them in a way that safely builds and releases tension.

Vulcans could tell brick jokes separated by months. You would never get them with a shaggy-dog story. They might have absurd reaction times for comebacks, but it would be limited, because I don’t think they’d handle wordplay. You’d never hear a Vulcan mutter “that’s what she said” in a timely fashion.
