Over 300 years of an unelected lifetime god kings appointed by the richest and most powerful. The system never worked, it’s just slightly more apparent now that the internet has made them more visible.

I write them into one of my stories here. They're never seen again.

Can I burrow your death note sometime?

On subject, I spent 2 years as an overnight hotel cook mostly by myself with a lot of time to think. Getting rid of a body was a common subject to contemplate. Long story short, I can get about 10 meals out of a human body and what’s left to dispose of would be to much of a mush to be identified as human. Easily disposed of in the garbage.

I saw a clip of a woman working out and she was doing an elbow plank and soon she started apologizing to her past boyfriends saying ‘two minutes is a long time.’

Had me laughin’.

Undercover from the government, keeping tabs on ya pervs.

I don't have a problem with surge pricing either. Capitalism at it finest. I simply won't partake if I notice. My brother worked at an upscale steakhouse. A dropped frozen steak was fair game for hockey if the boss wasn't around. After which it was brushed off and cooked. Again perfectly safe. They cooked them fully frozen, so nothing noticing would stick to it, and cooking kills any bacteria it might pick up. I assume this is common when you have teenage boys working in the kitchen.

Upscale steakhouse + frozen steaks… 😐

You know the Count from Sesame Street? Essentially that.

The acronym reminds of of The Kids Next Door.

I fully believe after some thorough senate grandstanding they’ll give Boeing a slew of government grants and the board of directors will give themselves a raise.

Pretty flowers in their sun dresses at the garden center to catch my interest. So why did he plant this seed of fantasy? Would his rugged hands tend my grounds with the same soft care offered to his cherry tomatoes?

So it’s OK to see the women’s pussies hanging out but the men have to cover their balls?

Men are people too and the wokies are trying to take away our sexuality.

Worry not, for you have none to take away.

Her breath, hot and shaking,

I’m not huge on fetishizing race. There’s preferences, and that’s fine. But there are lines that it becomes less about physical traits that appeal to you and more about stereotypes and objectifying a person. It shouldn’t mean a damn thing, but that’s not the reality we live in. Love who you love, want who you want. But make sure to never forget they are a person first, not a skin color.

Because I’ve been doing more sewing lately and this is cheaper than buying a dress form.

My theory as to why you never capitalize anything is because it requires two hands and it’s just physically too exhausting.

My theory is you’re not worth the effort.

I was a cute baby

Not what your momma said.

Most German love scenes. They seem like two angry weasels fighting to the death. Never hits romantic or titillating to me.

Anyone else like that solid American move of having our most popular sport played solely in America. All the teams are American. Then after the season is over we declare one of the teams world champs!

Less athletes, more mathletes! Am I right? Let’s celebrate some STEM elites!

Like picking out my least favorite kick in the balls because they all were absolutely terrible. I guess the red eye with a baby who was having an absolute miserable time and I ended up standing up with them on a harness and bouncing them in the bathroom. It was the only thing to quiet them and that lasted for something like 6 hours.

Would you support investing into train transport again?

1st grade, I was leading the class in the Pledge of Allegiance (why do we have 1st graders do that?!) and my stomach churned and I shot from both ends in front of the class.

Think this was something like my 3rd week in that class, had recently transferred in.

Any weird rituals/routines they made you do in 1st grade?

Probably not. Too many conflicts to just drop things and go.

If time of arrival wasn't an issue, would you prefer train travel over airplane?

Tom Bombadil showing up, exhibiting god like powers, and fucking off back to the woods to hang with Goldberry. Vibes all the way.

What’s your favorite horror movie?

Pretty soon we’re gonna have a nationwide abortion ban. Fun times ahead.

If only elderly Democrat judges retired when the Democrats were in charge instead of hanging on so their appointment could be held as leverage against voters in future elections.

Or if only the Democrats had moved to codify abortion rights as the populous had asked instead of keeping the issue around to threaten women with if they dared stray from the party lines.

Quote by Dani

You saw something on the internet, got triggered, and made it more about you than the issue you’re fighting for…or whatever it is you think you’re doing right now. Now you’re using the blanket statement of racism to describe someone because your emotional blinders are keeping you from seeing beyond your own purview. If it means so much to you, start a separate thread that’ll do this topic more justice than a thread that exists to mock the hypocrisy of conservatives.

In the meantime, quit lashing out at people because you’re choosing to make your friend’s hate crime about you. Please and thanks.

Feels like I'm not the one triggered here, but OK.

And I'm sorry for pointing out how I have personally been touched by the increased anti-Asian racism when I'm explaining why this was important to me. I can see it's only weakened my argument and made it an avenue to ignore what I'm saying.

Right now one of the most reasonable Republicans that comes to mind, to me as a foreigner, is Liz Cheney. But I doubt her ideas are all that different from her dad's (correct me if I'm wrong!), who was the epitome of evil less than two decades ago. Not buying into MAGA is a low bar for seeming reasonable. So, what's a normal Republican?

The United States is a radically far-right country. The Republicans are the far right of Americans. There is no functional normal. Even if Trump hadn't run in 2016 and the election was won by another Republican things would still have shaken out the same way.

Same super majority of Supreme Court justices appointed by Republicans with the same extremist views. Roe v Wade would still be overturned. They would have handled the pandemic the same way, just with a little more public finesse. Honestly, I think the Democrats would have handled it the same way if they had been in power. The pushback and unsafe measures were driven by greed and capitalism, not party politics. No one wants to be holding the hot potato when the economy falls through, Democrats would have fought against a shut down just as hard as Trump did if they were in charge.

That sort of is my whole point about this election. While one is unsavory and brash, the other is functionally the same or worse as the Democrats are sneakier and receive less pushback. Democrats raged against Trump's environmental policies but have passed worse measures than he did while in power. Biden and the Democrats are fully committed to expanding drilling, fracking, and mineral mining in the US under the thinly veiled fearmongering of China's tech market share.

And as much as some ignorant people are referring to voting for the third party as a 'protest vote', it's simply not true. It's a vote. It's who I want to run the country. I would rather back someone I believe in than the man poisoning my children's air for higher stock prices.

I'm sorry about what happened to your friend, and I do believe racism towards Asians is rising. But nevertheless, your response here really is an overreaction. It was clear that Jack was not speaking about Chinese people in general

I didn't say it was. I was asking him to specify the people because the language he chose leads to further racism. Go back, and look at the posts. Did I accuse him of racism? I simply asked him to specify who he was talking about to avoid a line that has been used for systematic racism in the US since its inception.

The utter defiance against even thinking about it and the internalized accusation of racism do make me believe he is racist now though.

I think the pushback against my statement is an overreaction. Why is it so important to use blanket statements against 'the Chinese'. And since it still hasn't been acknowledged, the Epoch Times is not owned or affiliated with China in any way, but an ousted group of religious extremists banned from China. It's a large multinational organization that pushes hate speech, misogyny and anti-LGBTQ agendas. They are not allowed to operate in or out of China, and most members are not Chinese anymore.

Racism incidents reported by Asians have increased 76% since 2020. And the causal acceptance by it by Democrats is increasingly disturbing. I was pointing out how the casual grouping of ‘the Chinese’ is a contributing factor that leads to racism.

No accusations of racism were made, but obviously they were internalized which is something that should be explored on their own time.

And there has been nothing but advocacy on how to stop it. Stop referring to negative things widely as being done by ‘The Chinese’. It was my original point. The group from the post is an ex-Chinese religious cult.

Feel free to use ungeneralized language for any ethnic group when you are referring to specific bad actors. It’s a great way to help combat the seeds of racism implanted in our society.

Quote by Dani

Rowan’s response was to assume that Jack was engaging in the bashing and therefore persecution of Asians, which I interpreted as an overreaction.

Is there some context I’m missing? I’m happy to be incorrect. Well, happy is a strong word, but I’d be fine if I’m wrong.

I was pointing out the wording he used is the same as both conservatives and democrats to refer to the Chinese as a whole for any wrongdoing. This has resulted in a spike in anti-Asian violence in America. I simply asked to contextualize the groups you are speaking about instead of saying ‘The Chinese’.

I didn’t assume or say he was bashing the Chinese. I provided context to his statement and when chided and pressed I went into more detail.

That being said I now fully believe Jack is racist because of the energy of his self victimization and insistence on continuing to do something that he was politely told could result in racism even if not intentional. I didn’t before the last few posts though.

Oh lord.. YOU used your friend’s hate crime to begin with… YOU tried to paint me as a racist. YOU said you want trump to win so that it fires up the progressives to play some kind of 4D chess.

You’re being very hypocritical

I didn’t say you were a racist. But I’m certainly believing it now.

I asked you to please use context before broadly painting things ‘Chinese’. I explained why calmly.

You are being disrespectful and are really showing your colors right now. I’m done talking to you, it feels gross.

Quote by Magical_felix

Lol, he literally said he wants trump to win. Then he said trump caused anti Asian hate that got a brick thrown at his friend..

Its just as hypocritical as the epoch times talking about China controlling Hollywood.

Anyway, Rowan and your virtue signal has been posted to counter whatever it is I did.

Balance.

Not what I said. You are just someone who’s views are so weak and who’s mind is so small that you think childish tactics like pretending you don’t understand is how you argue.

Frankly you make me less likely to vote Democrat with every post, you’re a remarkable ambassador of the disrespectful and disingenuous politics the left practice.

Thank you for weaponizing my friend’s hate crime, really sick.
