"Be careful around that stack of books, it's unstable."
"Stack? It's just one book."
"A book is never only just one book."
"What, all the possible readings of it might topple and fall on me?"
"Yes."
"Oh. Okay."

Five minutes. The timer on his wrist, counting down all his life to when he would meet his soul mate, had almost run out. Everyone said the timers could not be cheated, but maybe you could give fate a hint?

Oh hey, I think this is the one place I haven't posted this yet. Here's what I'm planning to vote for in the 2018 CA elections. https://medium.com/@ftl_ftw/what-im-thinking-of-voting-for-8f0860b7b78d

Not all debates are intellectually honest ones to have
If you come in swinging, saying something like "Academics won't let you question whether smoking causes lung cancer"
Maybe that's because the question has been debated, at the highest level, for decades, and the answers and level of confidence are so accessible that even a small amount of research would uncover them
So you're either a boring contrarian who needs to go to the library or you're politically motivated and dishonest
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For those who couldn't, for whatever reason: you're valid too.
