This is the only reason I still teach teenagers after 17 years, and I will not expound further.

That’s a rock solid way to endanger your financial livelihood. I’d take a hard pass on that idea, my human.

‘Grandmother of Juneteenth’ handed keys to new Texas home 85 years after racist mob burned it down

This implies that 85 years ago a racist mob burned down the new Texas home that she was just handed the keys to, which makes no sense.

A better way to word it would be “‘Grandmother of Juneteenth’ handed keys to new Texas home 85 years after racist mob burned her childhood house down”. I get that it’s at the same site, but the home she’s moving into isn’t the same one that was burned down.

Whether it’s obvious or not has no bearing on the fact that it’s an awkwardly-worded title.

What an awkwardly-worded title.

new Texas home…after racist mob burned it down

Burned what down? New house?

I will never downvote a non-downvoter of upvotes, fellow fellow.

YOU ARE IRELAND’S ONLY FEMALE.

Now kiss me.

(Cuz I know I’ll get downvoted to hell if I don’t clarify, Kiss Me Kate is a Cole Potter musical. You’re not sheltered if you didn’t know that; I’m just super fucking old. Srsly, I found two gray hairs the other day in my ear, and one on it.)

No idea the message they are trying to convey there, but that sure is a vibe.

Remember, honk if you honk all you. If anything at me, I will honk honk. If you get any closer, I have to honk. If, if you will…if I honk myself, want honk if you have. Ever been personally victimized by honk? CHECK ENGINE. 🖕

Vagina. It’s okay to say vagina, because that’s what it’s called.

“I’ve experiments to run, there is research to be done, for the people who are still alive.” GlaDOS

Aww, it’s nice that their company isn’t all rainbow capitalism, that they are putting their money where their mouth is by funding research into reducing the suicide rate among the queer community…

…hmm?; What’s that?

…n…no… *glances at GlaDOS* …no…

This. Granted I was 24 and not great with money as my wife and I had about $1500 in credit card debt, but once or twice a year I’d put down $50 for a little fun money and play at an online casino for no more than a week or until the $50 was gone. The first time I tried, I managed to use a modified Martingale system for several days and worked it up to five grand before cashing out. Was never successful at making anything close to that again, but I never played with or lost more than I could afford.

Today, apart from a car note I took on two weeks ago after a car I drove 200,000 miles over the past 14 years finally gave out, I am debt free and have been since 2016, and I genuinely can’t remember the last time I went to the casino. But, when I did, I brought $200, lost it but had my fun, and went home. No addiction whatsoever.

Because I was 24 years old and I put $50 on a debit card and managed to pump it up to $5000 and it was a one-off occurrence more than two decades ago? Relax.

Yeah, because that’s just what I said.

These casinos intentionally make people addicted, causing so much suffering and death.

Noted, but so does alcohol and you can find it almost everywhere. Most people have the capacity to exercise caution when engaging in potentially addictive behaviors. Unless we intend to ban everything that could cause addiction and lead to destruction of a person’s life (gambling, alcohol, tobacco, food, sex, claw machines, loot boxes…), then we have to let people make their own choices and be responsible for their own decisions. When it becomes apparent to a person that they have an addiction, it is their own responsibility to tend to it.

I won five grand from an online casino in 2001, and they not only paid me my winnings, they also included an extra $262 in comps for having bet aggregately over a quarter of a million dollars. That money went a long way for my early-20s ass. Paid off a credit card and bought a new mattress for me and my new wife.

When Full Tilt Poker got shut down by the DOJ, though, I was sort of okay with it. There were waaaaay too many action flops for those hands to have been truly randomized.

Me too. (Clocks)

Are you saying you want three boyfriends but for them to not be allowed to date anyone besides you? Because that’s called a harem and I don’t know anyone…male, female, or otherwise…who would be interested in something so inequitable.

If you’d not have a problem with your three boyfriends having other partners, then that is literally being polyamorous.

A penny a step is reasonable, I think.

And that is fine for you, and for anyone who refers to it as their chosen name, whether they are trans or cis.

But when someone else mentions that Name is a trans person’s “chosen name”, what a bigot’s brain says is “well, I choose to call [them] Deadname which their mom gave [them].”
