what the gently caress is the balsach fallacy. I googled it and got a fuckin' pdf on spanish poetry from the 80's, an article on obama discussing the middle east from 2014, a dissertation on herman melville, and a fuckin' keynote address on whatever the gently caress "southern modernism" is. gently caress you. tell me what the gently caress this is.

it actually comes from "der balsach", german for "deez nutz"

If you like hearing a British guy constantly waffle on calling himself a moderate and pronounce "woman" and "women" interchangeably, it's your destination. It's also nice to hear Felix be more low key and talk about internet weirdos.

this is 100% the most annoying thing about scumbag

other than that, it's not in my top five podcasts, but it's pretty decent if I run out of new episodes of my top five (i'm not an archive listener kind of guy). It often feels aimless but there are quality bits almost every episode

Thanks, I couldn't find the right image to answer the question.

I love how this poo poo always mutates into factional fanfiction. Like, when dipshits started declaring everyone alphas and betas, soon being alpha wasn't enough. You wanted to be the people who were smarter than Alphas. You wanted to be Sigma. Smarter and better than alphas. Same with the pills.

It's what they learned from shonen anime, your power level needs to be bigger than everyone else's.

Second is Michael Tracey, who went in too deep with irony during the campaign, and final form is Jeet Heer, the resident irony nerd of the New Republic. He tweets a lot, and is charmingly care given how much he seems to enjoy Chapo humor.
