Just post whatever comes to mind.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.
If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.
Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Quick question - I'm working on putting together a Jayne Cobb outfit for an upcoming convention, and I'm stuck between getting the Fighting Elves shirt
and the Blue Sun shirt
. My main issue is getting the one that goes best with khaki cargo pants, but what do you guys think?
The Fighting Elves one probably matches best, but I haven't watched Firefly so...
READ THIS COMIC. | Read along as I play through my games collection!Hyperpluralism is the idea that the body politic is composed of numerous different groups all of which have numerous interests, and that public policy is the result of numerous compromises, alliances and rivalries between these groups. Each group can apply pressure on the others, but none of them have absolute power. This is generally contrasted with Elitism, which believes that regardless of how society is formally structured, a small group of informal elite will always rise to the top and end up running things.
I think that elitism holds in the short run, and hyperpluralism in the long run.

What drove the first human, that one Greek baker from way back then, to put a filling inside of a crust? Was it because of storage? An attempt to mix two foods into one easy package? Was it just done on a whim, and continued when the taste was pretty good?

What's hyperpluralism mean? I've only seen in it the context of «we have a lot of lobbyists»
