but when they're talking pure bullshit woo, I often have to. The smart ones shut up. The stupid ones just tell me I'm spouting propaganda and call me a shill.

The only thing you can do with the stupid ones is walk away, twirling your index finger next to your temple.

I've got opinions, but if I don't change at least 3 of them by lunchtime, it means I've slept in.
