I don't know why we're even remotely concerned with some businessmen, well respected in their communities, conducting perfectly reasonable financial transactions when just last week, I saw a BROWN person in an orange grove, taking all the jobs from "the blacks" and forcing them into poverty!
Heavy /s though with use of actual sound bites from our burgeoning overlords.
On the one hand - big boobs, small boobs, big dick, small dick, short, tall, fat, thin, young, old, whatever quality, people have been happily fucking for the entire history of the species. Internet outrage at any given body type as being unacceptable is akin to virtual media eugenics and is stupid.
On the other hand - big boobs, small boobs, big dick, small dick, short, fat, tall, thin, young, old, what quality, I tire of both the media and its detractors telling me that I MUST be arbitrarily aroused by any given person because it satisfies a given narrative. This particular person is not sexually attractive to me not because of body size but because I'm old and she looks like a child to me.
Love who you want to love, fornicate with whichever consenting partner you wish. Take love where you can find it, and be happy when you can attain it.
On an unrelated note, one of my favorite lines came from Barbara Ehreinreich, though I can't recall which book, and I'm going to heavily paraphrase as I don't recall the exact quote: "The media was horrified to learn that elderly, wrinkled, fat couples were rolling around in bed together and enjoying it."
I archived this cancerous bloated paywalled shit show of a website just on principle
This is effectively license to riot in November and January.
My parents have long since passed on, so it's not even possible. I may end up living with my daughter later down the line. I'm SO single and solitary (by choice) that I'm concerned about going all dementia/stroke/heart attack later on with nobody to tend to me, so I'll likely lean on her when I'm in my mid to late sixties or so.
She's getting everything I own, and I should have reasonable retirement funds, so it's not like I'm going to rely on her financially.
My big mistake was fucking up on getting myself long term care, which I no longer can do unless I get a new job. My employer and I mutually fucked that up when I started at my current job.
Fun quotes from my daughter, around age ten or eleven: "You're going to be the cranky old man that we grudgingly take on vacation with us." and "You can always live in my basement."
And yes, we have discussed this topic. I'm not unilaterally just saying this on the Internet.
A guy can dream though, right?
Then slap him with a drunk in public and give him an extra day inside for it.
Are you asserting that nobody should ever have any preferences? Do you meet your own standard?
OP didn't say he's throwing women out of bed for having piercings. He expressed a preference for them not to.
I prefer dark hair. Sometimes it's red or blonde or blue.
I prefer pubic hair. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.
I prefer a few extra pounds. Sometimes those pounds aren't there. Sometimes a few extra is more like a lot extra.
In no example above did I shut down the interaction, nor did I experience any less pleasure.
But I still have preferences. That's all they are though.
The comments are pretty much all with you save one person. If I were you, I'd calmly walk away with that satisfaction before you get baited into a comment that "proves" you are what has been said of you.
(Note that "proves" is in quotation marks there.)
Shithead maga bleeding a nonprofit dry example aside, this is a good (albeit extreme) illustration of why I'm generally hesitant to give to any large charity.
You can pull their tax returns up online (form 990) and see where the money goes. Too often, it all goes to executive salaries and marketing with some token single digit percentage going to actual charitable work that may or may not be doing any actual good.
Nah. In Texas all she has to do is say that God told her to do it, and she'll get a couple years of taking drugs in a hospital.
The exception is Taylor Parker because she killed an ~unborn~ child, and that's a damn step too far.
I can't tell if that's a joke or a real question.
If it's a real question, nips in this case refers to those little bottles of alcohol you would get on an airplane. They're readily available in liquor stores here. Common purchase for the chemically dependent alcoholic who just needs a quick fix.
Connecticut penitentiary? A state facility? How are the prisons in Connecticut? The only thing I know about the state is that they have their own form of pizza though I have no clue what that form is.
All this hasn't forced me into piracy.
It's worse than that.
It's forced me to stop caring about shows or movies entirely.
Harris oversaw more than 1,900 marijuana convictions in San Francisco, previously unreported records from the DA’s office show. Her prosecutors appear to have convicted people on marijuana charges at a higher rate than under her predecessor, based on data about marijuana arrests in the city.
As the political winds blow with her I guess. At least it's a positive change.
A good six year old with a gun would've solved this. /s
Has Alex Jones paid out a penny yet?
Will Rudy?
These guys seem to be able to ignore these judgements with impunity.
I am shocked that his attorney acknowledged wrongdoing. That'll fuck any appeal attempts.
Remember that one time Hillary Clinton answered an endless barrage of congressional questions for eleven hours without showing any signs of fatigue?
Apparently, she should've just taken a nap.
It's gonna be unbelievably dystopian if this guy weasels his way back into office. No policy other than unhinged vengeance.
Funny you mentioned that. I was out with my daughter a couple days ago and she got a flat that had to be replaced. She was legitimately worried that Toyota would void her warranty for not buying a tire from the dealership. Nevermind that we were out in rural nothingness with no Toyota dealership to be found.
So now the goalposts are at declaring war on Mexico.
Cool cool.
Dress codes have always been prohibitively expensive. When I was a young man getting my occupational feet wet in the nineties it was pretty much, "We're gonna pay you three dollars an hour and we require three piece suits at all times."
These right wing groups have fundamentally altered my perception of the meaning of the word liberty.
How the fuck can an economy that's almost nothing but advertisements sustain itself for any period of time? It feels like forcing more and more ads is the only thing anybody does for money anymore.
Lemmy should make its own awards.
Award #1 -- Blackjack
Aware #2 -- Hookers
Of all hills to die on that ruin your reputation and legacy, why this one? I just don't get it.
I am a gen x cis heterosexual white male.
Transexuality is strange and foreign to me. I don't understand it. This gives me exactly zero right to take any stand against it. I'd say it gives me less right to express an opinion as how could I be knowledgeable on something I've just admitted I don't understand?
Let people live and go enjoy your billions.
Hello there. I'm a mid twenties man living in current day, working part time in a home improvement store, and I live alone in a ten bedroom apartment in midtown Manhattan with my meticulously groomed pure bred dog, have twelve pack abs, perfectly coiffed hair, and am rewarded with the equally beautiful woman for criminally stalking her throughout the movie and ultimately forcing myself upon her.
Movies are ridiculous. Ridiculous sells tickets or streams or whatever makes movies money these days.
Do you think the UK sometimes sits up late at night with a bottle of whisky and stalks the EU on social media?
I appreciate this woman subjecting herself as a test case for these draconian laws, but at this point, I'd advise her to take a nice completely unrelated vacation to a west coast state for a while.
Of course, ole Kenny boy will try to prosecute any mode of transportation she would attempt to use at this point.
God I hate this timeline.
I swear the federal governments that killed off entire populations of native Americans and authorized the recapture of escaped slaves were less childish and vindictive than today's GOP.
Money laundering
This fuckin' guy is gonna burn it all down and somehow walk away with more money than I could earn in several lifetimes. There's something intrinsically wrong with a system that so egregiously rewards such gross incompetence.
Like laws and corruption matter if he gets in. It'll be nothing more than a country for sale
LinkedIn. Where you can read endless and meaningless hubris from managers who used to abuse you.
I did see a former co-worker post a hilarious meme though.
"Nobody wants to work anymore."
"Wrong. Nobody wants to work for YOU."
Just tried it. Yep, no access. Just a long message lambasting Texas politicians.
I tried all the other regular sites, no issues.
They're gonna need an industry wide cooperation to successfully combat this.
Predictions:
Homelessness can be a felony
Healthcare must save the life of a pregnant woman, but she can be criminally charged for unborn child neglect and/or murder
Trump and Trump alone is immune from all prosecution at all levels and in all jurisdictions, but all other presidents are subject to any and all prosecution
Bonus: Boof bro chugs beer out of a bong shoved up Thomas' ass on a lobbyist yacht. Gorsuch doesn't participate but sneaks a glance at Gini's exposed ankles and Coney-Barret looks down her nose at women who didn't just go dump their babies off at the hospital before their health issues began in the first place.
There was a much smaller town, I believe more in East Texas, that brought such an ordinance up. I was pleasantly shocked that they eventually came to the conclusion that their proposed "papers please" environment was a wee bit too much like what many of their older residents had fought against.
Sadly, I'm not confident that clearer minds will continue to prevail.
Further, as I type this, I'm in an airport in Dallas headed to Nevada where I'm going to gamble, have sex out of wedlock, consume cannabis, and potentially purchase and consume an alcoholic beverage between the hours of two and seven in the morning. Somehow, no Texas legislator has any interest in prohibiting my endeavors. Seems inconsistent.
But if people don't go back to the office, commercial real estate will crash, they'll convert it all into affordable housing, and my curb appeal will lose its sweet, sweet premium value.
Let's not pretend there isn't a micromanaging control issue involved in this, but the core is all about real estate.
She should probably never come back to Texas. She and her family will be a target.
I imagine ole Kenny boy will get on the horn to some civilian lackies to sue Uber, Southwest airlines, the airport that the plane took off from, etc under the original vigilante law that allows such to any person who "assists" in getting an abortion.
My daughter is twenty two years old and loved growing up in Texas. I told her to never live in this shithole state because it's becoming illegal for her to exist, so she's living and working in a civilized state at the expense of my rarely getting to see her.
Colleagues think I'm overboard in this. Those colleagues have sons, not daughters, so it's still if it doesn't affect me personally, it's not important.
Fuck this place.
Boof bro will personally take up this case and see to it that a former president is immune from liquor license requirements. HE LIKES BEER!
