Does the term describe yourself? If not, you haven't reclaimed it.

It's a good thing his fenced property was protected by Secret Service agents. Gun control for me but not for thee.

I always assume someone is as smart or smarter than me. I'm not that smart, so it works out most of the time. But it's kind of like being tall. I'm taller than average, but I have a hard time judging if someone is taller or shorter than me. I really only notice height in the extremes, and sometimes I'll think "That person is really tall" but then we're in a picture together and I am much taller.

If I talk to someone who is very smart, it's immediately obvious. If I meet someone who is very stupid, it is immediately obvious. In between the extremes, it isn't particularly memorable.

I can't say I've ever noticed anyone pretending to be stupid to blend in.

I'm not entirely sure, because I've never gotten the hang of Twitter. But reading between the lines, I think this is the sequence of events:

Libertarian twit tweets a death threat against Harris.

Libertarian twit is reminded of the rules (and common decency) and removes the offending tweet.

Libertarian twit passive aggressively tweets about having removed the tweet they twote, invoking the promises of free speech to imply that Leon was censoring their tweets and trampling on their freedoms.

Leon responds to the complaint with the tweet the twit twote, simultaneously demonstrating that the twit is a twat and amplifying the message.

The game mechanic is incredibly simple, and has been cloned a million times. The graphics weren't anything special, so really the only thing special about Flappy Bird is the name Flappy Bird.

Trump lives on the wrong side of every line. If you can no longer support him after his latest transgression, you are probably on the wrong side of a bunch of issues. I'm glad people are realizing they cannot support him anymore, but there is not nearly enough introspection among former Trumpers.

Yeah I don't understand that. I would guess it's either 1) I mentioned android (although I think apple watch can work with android) or 2) it's such an obvious suggestion that people felt like "of course he considered the apple watch," or 3) people just hating on apple.

But that's just a guess. My pet peeve is people downvoting without replying when it isn't obvious why they're downvoting.

Every time I get close to buying a smartwatch, I discover some reason why it isn't going to do exactly what I want it to do.

Oh no, disingenuous bigots are critical of someone they hate because of something inconsequential.

I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.

Has this ever happened to you? There's a fly in the house, buzzing around you, so you go to the cabinet to get the swatter. But as soon as you start wielding it, the little bastard disappears. You set it down, and now he's back, taunting you.

Ok so obviously flies don't taunt, but do they have the capacity to recognize, even instinctually, that I'm holding a deadly weapon?
