After months of poking at ancient Roman texts in pursuit of brewing knowledge, I'm beginning to be able to read Latin.
Pete esset facere optimum papa.
What are you saying about Pete's dad?
Google translate. I'll just leave it to you to figure out what I originally wrote.
Technically, what you wrote doesn't quite have the sense of what you wanted to write.
The verb you used means "to make," but in a very direct sense. That phrasing wasn't really used in Latin, so it'd be more correct to say "Pete would be the best Pope," because that's what you're really saying. Unless you want to say that I would physically create a Pope.
Boys, get your adjective-noun agreements right, I mean goddamn. Wait, that's actually the wrong mistake, the mistake was using accusative for the object of esse when it's actually normal to use the nominative there. It's "Pete sit optimus papa."
Apreche (or Google Translate) gets points for appropriately using the subjunctive though.
HOLY SHIT! How are there so many people that are so well educated and so enraged about politics but don't even know that non-FPTP systems exist? This is like when I had to explain communism to all my friends, except instead of middle-schoolers I'm talking to the electorate.
The moment you realize that, not only do you not care about a class, but that it will have no effect on your ability to graduate or even significantly affect your GPA is (even if you completely fail it) is, perhaps, one of the most liberating feelings of your college career.
My reaction was pretty good, I think. At first stunned silence. Then looking back up to see it's Rym posting it. Then confusion. Then reading the whole thing in detail even to the point of noticing the "we' like! to party!" Then a second of reconcilliation, followed by a big hearty laugh.
I don't get freaked out by these things anymore. You need context if you're going to creep me out. A random crazy image on the internet isn't going to get to me.

I'd like my Internet points now.
On a similar note, has anyone gotten their goatse.cx email accounts yet?
I will not suffer this alone. You're welcome.
Goddamn you Rym. And you too Scott for associating with him.
