The Plato's allegory of the cave to Plato's Closet means I need to fight Tom if I ever meet him. I think that joke took years off my life

Anonymous ethicist, not a serial killer at all, just asking questions.

Draft king ads in the free episode this week? Really? Huge rise in bankruptcy and suicides over this legalized scourge on the American people, and y'all just keep advertising for it eh? Honestly thought you'd have some integrity.
