I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear... I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
Over the years, I seem to have trained my brain to seek out patterns in everything I encounter. This makes sleeping rough as any back ground noise resembling human speech causes me to become fully alert as my brain tries to make sense of what it heard. Only solution to this I've found is a good white noise generator that operates on the same frequency patterns as speech.
The opposite keeps me up: pattern construction.
When listening to white noise, I have had the experience of faintly hearing a particular song, which I assumed was just coming from some neighbor's house. After a while I realized that the song kept on going and going far longer than it should be.
I figured out that the song never ended because I didn't know how its arrangement ended. In other words, my brain was attenuating frequencies that did not fit the song as I knew it. I was literally hearing a sound pattern by cherry-picking from the available acoustic stimulus.

After that railgun motto nonsense, I would't be surprised if they went for: "icking-fray aser-lay"
Probably this: Nothing is so common as to imitate one's enemies, and to use their weapons.
And probably not the misattributed quote about defending someone's right to say abhorrent things.

How long before the North deploys oliphants at the border to counter the mammoth threat?
If they're brown pat them down, if they're black send them back. That's just standard TSA protocol.
Special addendum for NY airports: If they're yellow, don't let them play with 'Melo.
There are over 75,000 alcohol related deaths per year in the U.S. alone. Is that enough to warrant some research?
Maybe a significant number of those deaths were actually sexual-rejection-related deaths after all. Mothers Against Sexual Rejection, anyone?
Say no more--oh, wait, just one more thing, that "Chicago mayor" is none other than Rahm Emanuel.
The proper resistance mantra is:

In the real world "virtual goods" are called "services". That's why they exist on "servers".
