The dunk that keeps on giving.

Crap, I feel so dumb.

I get the libertarian angle, but what's the "car seat" angle?

rickywlmsbong.bsky.social•277 days ago

I, for one, think it is nice that political scientists continue to do all of their little projects, despite politics being fully explained in these 10 words.

rickywlmsbong.bsky.social•281 days ago

the applied guys really can dunk on the theoretical guys when they're sorted out right

dogsandsobriety.bsky.social•281 days ago

To be fair, the idea of a libertarian having a girlfriend is a strictly theoretical concept.

rickywlmsbong.bsky.social•281 days ago

My favorite thing about being a Libertarian is thinking it's an intrusion on my individual freedom when the government requires me to wear a seat belt to save thousands of lives.
