    English is a shitty language.

    I thought “dumbest” as an adjective was an absolute, like “the highest level of dumbness ever”.

    How the hell do we live in the dumbest timeline and manage to make it even dumber every time?

      Early on, people gasped at the idea of travelling 30 miles an hour.

      Early in the Trump campaign, people actually thought him mocking a disabled reporter would doom his chances.
