According to them, an effective technique was to feign agreement and take the idea so far further along the extremism spectrum that the other person has to disagree.
I do this a lot. It tends to make people annoyed in my experience, although that's probably because I don't put much effort into the "feign agreement" bit so they just think I'm making fun of them.

Uh? No. If I remember your general area, it's because you're in a canyon. I'm in Moscow and it's not all that windy thought it was raining stupid hard.

I moved to Walla Walla. It's windier here, believe it or not. The denizens say it's in a valley, which (being from Clarkston) I find absolutely adorable.

What's adorable is this one pimple of a hill in Iowa the locals insist counts as a mountain and put a ski resort on. It's like a 300 foot elevation difference or something, and not even a 45 degree slope. It's like 30. The one in my backyard has it beat for crying out loud.

A 45 degree slope is very steep, and would be a difficult hill.

Notably, that is literally the steepest residential street in the world and it's 19 degrees. It actually takes a lot less to make a steep slope than you'd think.

It's also 35% steep, if we're using that system. Maybe that's what Eric meant? A 45° slope would be difficult to ski, but a 45% one would be fun.

Why the fuck were you watching this?

Guy thinks that large numbers of weak (genetically inferior - but don't worry, it's due to their y-chromosomes being deficient, and them being more femenine) men band together to make a handful of strong men work for them, as they can't produce food the way strong men can.


This would make history look pretty hilarious if it were true.

I was watching some anti SFW out of boredom videos and suddenly this guy poped up.
So i watched it because it's relatively short and posted the link in the appropriate thread.

So, as you were watching NSFW material, a guy shows up and starts going full Roman Catholic on you? Ouch. :P
