James: And make it double!

Bartender: Here you go: Two "for trouble"s on the rocks.

You, a dumbass: Cars made horses obsolete.

Me, a philosopher: Then why is horse semen more expensive than a car, pound for pound?

The more influential the gross dude, the more people will emulate him and help to push out even more people

And it's mostly women who get pushed out
