Forgive me for sounding like a conspiracy theory loony, and I will absolutely retract if a single piece of info comes out proving me wrong, but this whole "active shooter at the White House correspondents dinner" situation feels incredibly staged. I watched the video and it took almost 10 seconds after the shots were fired for anyone to provide any sort of cover for Trump. Trump and all the other people at the Fancy Table had little to no reaction at all, even when the rest of the room started trying to take cover. The overall response from everyone involved had the urgency of limp spinach. The alleged suspect currently in custody is a 31-year-old Black man from California.

I wouldn't say 13 has "golden retriever" energy. If anything, she's a Strange Orange Cat. Observe:

All computer safety ever for the past 30 odd years: "if you go on the internet — especially if you're under 18 — lie about everything. Lie about your name. Lie about your age. Give as little information away about yourself as you possibly can. Obfuscate, falsify, and omit anything and everything as otherwise They Will Get Your Ass. Actually, avoid it in the first place if you can altogether."

Listen, I'm having fun playing with the ultra patriotic voice, but after a couple years in blue-collar landscaping jobs, you really do need to phrase things like that.

Also, please understand that SO often the real issue these people have is that they just want to say something inappropriate. They don't like being told they can't say "fag", so they'd say it for a reaction, just like a teenager would.

Oh, the comments are GOLD

My favorite scenes in the LotR books are the ones where Legolas has vital information and just decides it's not important to share.

It's because legolas hasn't spent enough time with non-elves to remember that they don't know what he knows.

This is how writers should deal with characters who are too smart for the arc instead of making them suddenly dumber for no apparent reason.
