I called it! Ages ago! I said that, when the files were released, black rectangles would have a LOT to answer for.
Turns out they're all over the files. We need to hold every black rectangle accountable for their crimes.

Being in Canada right now is like watching your neighbour's house burn down... viewed from your own front porch... while that neighbour is yelling about water being a government conspiracy as they throw cans of gas into the inferno.

Solipsism is the idea that none of us can prove anyone else has consciousness. We can be sure of our own but never anyone else's.

"Fuck" is obviously the reigning champ when it comes to versatility. What a word!
But we can't discount "shit".
"You know shit." That sentence either means the person is really knowledgeable or horribly ignorant.
With context or an emphasis change, it literally means the opposite thing. Powerful.
