ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends
I love this idea. We used to do things like this in Improv.
Related game: “THINK ABOUT IT.” You’re given a random topic, and your job is to build it into an epic conspiracy theory, the crazier the better. You end your rant with a serious face and the command that your listeners “Think about it.”
Another related game: Illuninati. Similar to Think About It except you are given 2 completely different topics and you have to connect them to each other in a wild conspiracy rant
People often ask whether they should use Koenig’s made up words in real life.
He says yes, because all words are made up in the beginning.
He also quotes lexicographer Erin McKean: “Anybody who’s read a children’s book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it—that makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an arbitrary distinction; it doesn’t make a word any more real than any other way. If you love a word, it becomes real.”
The older I get the more I realize lying is a waste of energy, its better to tell everyone the truth and let them be mad about it while you have a clear conscious
I thought this said living was a waste of energy and was like amen
That too
i don’t mean to be political, but what if everyone had basic human rights
The fact that we can’t talk about human rights without someone thinking we’re being political peeves the shit outta me. Like fuck. Saying that I think a black person should make the same income as a white person for the same job IS NOT POLITICAL. IT’S BASIC MORALS AND COMMON FUCKING SENSE. Saying I think that the people of Flint deserve drinking water that doesn’t kill them IS NOT FUCKING POLITICAL. We live in a first world country that treats certain people not as second class citizens but literally like they don’t fucking exist. I’m fucking angry about this.
If you’re not angry too, you’re NOT PAYING ATTENTION. Get your head out of your ass and look around.
