If you refer to the Muslim man in the bomb vest as a terrorist its fine, if you refer to all muslim men as terrorists its a slur.

Refering to Israeli generals and politicians as Zionists is fine, If you refer to all Jewish people as Zionists…

Google “Knee sleeves” literally designed for the purpose.

A local zoo has a “taxidermy department” and noteworthy animals are preserved or skinned and the skins sold to friends of the zoo.

Its kept very secret because it would be publicly unpopular. A friends dad has a mountain lion skin because he is a contractor who does a lot of work for the zoo and did a few jobs for them that NEEDED to be done basically for cost when they were suffering some financial troubles. They gave him the pelt as a Xmas present.

This is what bugs me about Tyson the most.

He has almost a meme celebrity status, he is in the hangover,he appears in rap videos, he was on comedy central roasts… and he is a rapist.

Now if he wanted to stick to boxing and boxing related things, where he was an undisputed legend I’d be fine with it. Its not like he has marketable skills beyond that.

Ding Ding Ding.

I lost count of the amount of times I got downvoted to oblivion for saying “He isnt an idiot manchild, he is up to something. Yall are assuming he is playing checkers badly, he is playing chess and whupping your ass”

You dont get to be the richest man in the world by being an absolute fucking idiot.

Why would I want people from a less privileged country coming here and stealing our jobs, putting a burden on our healthcare system and making housing even more expensive?

Congratulations America, you’re now the english language Mexico… with worse Tacos.

If I recall correctly she owns a fleet of rental tour busses because when she was younger and her dad was trying to keep some semblance of normalcy in her life by only booking short tours nobody wanted to rent them a tour bus for only a few weeks. If you werent booking it for 6 months they didnt want to know you. He realised she had enough money to buy her own damn bus, so they did.

Well when artists knew she wasnt touring and wanted a bus for a few weeks they rang her dad and asked “Hey can we rent your bus for a month?” after it happened a few times he bought another bus, and another…

Wedge Antilies.

“Yub Yub Comander.”

When I was a teen I always wanted to get my hands on a machine that makes subtitles on tapes or however TF it was done in the 90s and make my own version where R2 is just absolutely foul mouthed and abusive the whole time.

Also Urdli in the Secrets Of Power trilogy was very much an Australian mage.

Because given what I know about how Native Americans were treated his thoughts were “Well, dont want to rape that…”

I generally go with “so I guess I’ll just go fuck myself” or “then she woke up talking bout pressing charges so I pulled my dick out her ass and left”

“In the wake of the Trump victory millions of Americans relieved to find out their white neighbours consider them ‘One of the good ones’”

“Deodorant shelves empty as many LGBTQI+ “Allys” realise that they might actually have to prove it”

I thought of a few fantastic Onion headlines and was tempted to write them but they all made me deeply sad.

Because when its good, and I mean everything is correct… its fucking amazing.

Last time I got Kentucky it was all perfect. The bun was fresh, the lettuce was fresh, just the right amount of mayo, the chicken was hot and crunchy. The chips were hot, fresh and had just too much enough salt and the pepsi was just a shade away from being frozen. It was the best chicken burger I’ve had in recent memory.

Now, this was an isolated incident. Normally I wind up slightly disappointed in something. But when its right…

Its also necessary. Americans made this shitstorm of a litigious society themselves.

They paid for their insurance, why wouldnt they use it and protect themselves?

I have never once seen a pay scale that has seperate grades for women. The “women make less” statistic is weighted by women taking time off to raise children, that they are more likely to be primary caregivers and less able to do overtime and so on. (Which yes does figure into the problem)

That isnt to say that in jobs where staff can negotiate their own salary or recieve offers there IS DEFINITELY a problem with women recieving lower offers. Also being offered less chances for advancement, etc. But there isnt a company that would ever have the balls to deliberately put a lower pay scale for women on paper these days.

This makes perfect sense. The city will have insurance for accidents. They bill him, he sues, the city refers it to their insurer and the insurance pays the suit and costs.

It only sounds ridiculous on the surface.

Hate to break it to you, we’re still near the top of the heap.

Honestly him getting re-elected is the first time in my life where I felt the absolute gravity of “Oh, THIS is white privilege” like theres no fuckin nuance to this. I’m straight, white and middle aged. If I say the right things I’ll probably be fine, not much is going to change for me.

I cant say the same for a lot of other people.

Generally yes, but sometimes…

The Martian was a great book and a GREAT movie. Ridley Scott made visuals better than my imagination.
