I hear it's the victors that decide what history is. Thus, by making up history, I am a victor.

He's catholic, so he can't hurt anyone but in self defense, even if he's legally able to do so. The other side of the tracks have many, many people lined up to die.

It's not a crazier idea than most of Kennedy's. Someone should do a study. Or make one up, nobody checks anymore.

Trump wins, he pardons and acquits himself and is empowered to continue his criminal behavior without consequence. If he loses, he faces justice for all the things he’s done.

"You" can either mean the second person (Shakira in this case) or people in general.
Therefore, "I never really knew you could danc like this" can mean either "I didn't know you (Shakira) were able to dance like this." or "I didn't know it was humanly possible to dance like this". It is usually context that tells these interpretations apart, for example, the first one would only make sense if Wyclef already knows Shakira. But is Wyclef's character supposed to know Shakira's in the story of the song?

Two lines later, he asks her "Como te llamas?", which seems to imply that he doesn't. #However he later also says "Shakira, Shakira", even tho she hasn't answered yet, implying he did know her name. What gives?

I'm not sure either why he keeps saying "No fighting".

Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite.

Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace.

If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.

Nintendo had 6 years, why now? Can't have free software upstaging new hardware.

If the whole “square peg, round hole” BS was a valid argument for anything, all doors we go through would have to be shaped exactly like our own profile as we pass them.

The reactions to most posts are overwhelmingly negative and critical. Ironically, posts to c/unpopularopinion tend to argue that they agree with the post, and are consequently more supportive.

The less racist a country is, the harder it is to detect enemy spies. #showerthoughts

Tennis uses multiples of 15, but only up to 45, calls other points weird names, then closes a set, which has to be repeated at least 6 times for a separate scoring, with said scoring also needing to be repeated AT LEAST 3 more times, but can be dragged out ad infinitum.

Even table tennis has the decency of using a straight scoring system where 11 points wins a set and 2 sets wins the match.

Killing someone doesn't change whether or not they die, only when.

The only thing that determines whether or not someone will die is whether or not they were born. Therefore, the only cause of death is birth.

The only case in which murder changes the amount of people who will die is if a person who would've otherwise had children is killed. By preventing birth it prevents death. In other words, murder can only decrease the amount of people who will die or keep it the same, but never increase it.

Different stations produce different shows and share them among each other. That’s federation, baby.
