2/15 Barrage in idea barrages

1.) As oligarchic corporations kill local and livable jobs with short-term discounts, we bargain-shop ourselves back into serfdom.

2.) You are not who you were. You are a parade of living & dying neurons deluding themselves through proximity into believing yourself unitary.

3.) Evacuate your islands of ignorance. Travel, even if it's just to the side of town you're supposed to be scared of. You will grow.

4.) Fellow working class people of other ethnicities are not taking your jobs. Rich white people siphoning off profits for yachts are.

5.) A Valentine from your secret admirer might turn out to be a good thing. From your secretion admirer... not so much.

6.) Enrage a console RPG player by pretending to confuse "Casual Encounters" ads with random encounters.

7.) The first rule of DWIGHT CLUB is farm beets. The second rule of DWIGHT CLUB is farm even more beets.

8.) Valentines sent to alternate timelines are called Parallelograms.

9.) Yeah, sure, I'd love some mayo on it. I second that emulsion.

10.) I keep hearing the line in More Than A Feeling as "I hear Maid Marian walking awaaaaaay". Maybe there's something there.

11.) When passive-aggressive homophobes whine "IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL" when someone like Ellen Page comes out... that proves it's still a big deal.

12.) Gotta control 'em all, Hegemon!

13.) They were infringing on The Walking Dead's copyright so they got a Deceased And Desist Order.

14.) If the ending of your story is surprising only because it doesn't logically follow, it doesn't make it a shocking twist, it makes it stupid.
