Let's add 'rednecks' to the special word list. Only rednecks can say redneck. How about other words, Cajun, Coonass, hillbilly, Californian, yankee, limey, slut, ho, stud, greaser, transphobe, trans, motherfucker, cuckold, cuck, gigolo, gymrat, spandex cowboy, etc.? Any suggestions?

Redneck was originally a term for socialist miners who were accused of being communist agents when they protested for worker rights.

My crystal predicts 5 years of drawn out appeals followed by a bankruptcy filing resulting in not one red cent paid.

Nothing like getting your political advice from a [edited for unacceptable content] slaver. That’s a bastion of moral wisdom of governance.

Biden and the Democrats environmental policies are far worse when they are in power than when Trump is in power. The democrats made moves to block drilling and mining projects Trump started, but fully endorse Biden's record of opening more oil drilling on federal lands than Trump ever did. This is despite a campaign promise to not approve any new drilling projects on federal land.

So is Biden better than Trump?

To me, the ideal situation in this two party war is Trump in office and the democrats controlling congress. The deadlock is better than either in power. Trump can't push judges through freely, congress limits trump's ability to disrupt the system. Maybe as an environmentalist Trump's honesty with Democrat's opposition is better for my interests than empty promises and lies from Biden?

Who are we gonna genocide in Wyoming? No one!

Sorry, the mountain has got to go. Maybe worship some other geological feature.

We are going to mine it. 😎

PS. If you really believe as you do, why do you use your phone, laptop, or computer to go online. By doing so, you're being kind of a hypocrite.

Live the words that come from your mouth or type from your fingers.

This is really the weakest argument you can make. I use those things because we live in a society that gives no other choice. It gives no other way to fight back against someone stealing land.

What you want is for the opposition to die in silence, because you know it’s wrong. It’s just convenient for you. You don’t care about the religion because it’s not yours. You should care about the water because that’s where your food and drinking water comes from, but for some reason you don’t.

Let China control the market then. By your logic it’s destroying another set of land you don’t own. Or are you just caught up to much in this xenophobic fear that if a country has a greater economy than America they’ll treat the US how we’ve treated them?

On a positive note, an enormous deposit of rare earth materials have been discovered in Wyoming, so we can soon corner that world market, and shove it up China's ass.

Rare earth minerals & material is what technology depends on. So, unless you are willing to give up your cell phones, computers, smart hdtv's, computerized autos, etc., don't complain about mining for it.

This is not a positive note, it’s another horror story to the Indigenous tribes living on that land and who worship that mountain.

Mining is an incredibly toxic and destructive act that seeps billions of gallons of poisonous slurry back into the water tables, this one in particular being near the mouth of the largest source of fresh water in the US.

Much like the oil pipelines they punch through Indigenous lands while ignoring treaties and protests, that’s the plan here. And the boogeyman of China is propped back up so a private company can wreak havoc on our land and make a profit.

We need to wean our dependence on rare materials, recycle it, and find alternatives. Not this steady march into oblivion we’re on. The only bright side I see here is Wyoming has the greatest concentration of water protectors ready to act. They’ve been fighting the destructive pipelines through their lands for decades.

The continued genocide of the indigenous people and their culture can’t continue. This can’t be another treaty torn to shreds at the US’ earliest convenience. This is the water that grows your food and quenches your thirst. Are you ready to let another corporation take it from you?

Had a family favorite tamale pie, but that had absolutely nothing to do with the SB.

What’s your favorite bar food?

Loud please. After smell, hearing my favorite sense during sex.

Which do you prefer during sex from your partner. Unscented, fresh out of the shower or natural personal aroma at the end of the day?

I may reach out to some people for some online play, normally I’ll take care of business myself.

My Gran makes amazing bread pudding. I wonder if it's something else in the USA? Layers of thick bread and butter with currants and sultanas in-between soaked in eggs and milk and baked till it's all gooey and caramelised. Then served with custard.

Bread puddings aren’t incredibly popular, but that is what we call it. I love a good one. Tell your gran to send me one!

This was after he attacked Haley for not having her spouse attend her campaign events. For context his wife has not been attending campaign events either and her husband is in the military and deployed overseas.

Parking illegally and getting booted irks me. But, you can buy a tool that releases the boot.

I have one. 😊 If l get my wheel booted, l take the fucking wheel boot with me and toss it in a dumpster somewhere. I fucking hate companies that boot cars. Fuck them!

Read an article about this group of women who go around and remove boots for like $50,and dispose of the boots. Since the whole business of towing and booting is done on the knifes edge of legality there’s legal discourse if they did anything illegal. They arrive masked and keep their identities concealed for fear of legal blowback from the tow companies.

Oh, no mind game, Your formatting was just baffling. You know you could just edit the original post, you don’t have to repost it in different locations hoping I’ll see it.

Quote by Magical_felix

It’s “milquetoast”.

How come all these MAGAs are so stupid?

In Trump’s case I’m pretty sure it’s a degenerative case of syphilis.

That being said I don’t mind being compared to milk toast. It’s absolutely delicious. Condensed milk bread thick sliced and toasted. I like to top it with Nutella and sliced strawberries.

Eh, I haven’t seen you post anything worth the effort. Just weak trolling in a political forum thread. Not even interesting. I don’t go at a fly with a machete.

If you actually want to make a post about something specific to talk about create the thread. If you want to non specifically do some right wing whining I’m certainly not going to engage more than a zinger.

Speaking of going senile, are you aware you’ve posted the exact same thing multiple times in different threads? You can join Biden in the retirement home.

"It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see...""You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?""No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.""Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy.""I did," said Ford. "It is.""So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?""It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.""You mean they actually vote for the lizards?""Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course.""But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?""Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?""What?""I said," said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, "have you got any gin?""I'll look. Tell me about the lizards."Ford shrugged again."Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happenned to them," he said. "They're completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone's got to say it.""But that's terrible," said Arthur."Listen, bud," said Ford, "if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say 'That's terrible' I wouldn't be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin."

Yeah, Biden’s angry old man rant really drove home the whole point of the matter. The Democrats had spent the primary season quashing and burying any opposition to Biden’s re-election rather than finding a suitable substitute.

Imagine how much better the optics would be politically if he had announced he will step down due to his older age. He could head into the sunset with a decent economic track record (so long as your the small % of wealthy Americans who benefit from things like inflated stock prices or an out of control housing market). The republicans are in chaos looking bad as hell killing their own bills and unable to pass shit with a majority.

It would have been a really nice set up for a new candidate. Instead he’s proving all the rhetoric about his age and mental fitness. He’s heading in with a scandal. He’ll drag the whole ticket and hand Trump an easy victory. It was a self indulgent move for the Dems to push forward with their senile meat puppet and it is going to lead to absolute chaos.

Oh, it was never about the best candidates. Both were selected by the richest Americans and funded to be president.

The election system isn’t designed to give people what they want, it’s to give you the illusion of choice while only giving you the options that benefit the richest and most powerful.

That being said, Trump is an anomaly because he’s the monster that got too big to control. They no longer want him, Haley was pushed as they could. But their full support in the past and pushing false rhetorics have made Trumpism more of a religion than a political candidate.

Ok Biden’s side the media quashed any stories about people running against him. It was a non-primary. There was never a true choice…

Unless y’all realize you don’t have to vote for either. Until you accept that you eat what you’re given.

The ideal length of backstory is like the ideal length of a book. Write it till there’s enough and then stop.

More specifically, the length of time you spend on last events should be fairly relative to the story. If it’s a 4 page story and 2 of those pages are catching the reader up than likely it’s unbalanced (exemptions available in special cases). Sometimes they are completely unneeded. The ‘fap piece’ genre of erotica that focuses on the sexual acts at the primary chunk of the text often need little to none.

Presentation of the backstory is also something to consider. A lot of times opening with it is weak, especially in longer pieces. Many times it’s better to sprinkle it throughout the story.

For my longer pieces I actually have tons of fleshed out story that helps me as a writer understand my character and write for them, but often chunks of it are not included in the work as they aren’t needed or give too much away.

A couple examples of some extreme but well done backstories: I recently read Enterprise of Death, a historic piece of fiction about a necromancer woman and a soldier who saves her from burning. The characters full backstory is somewhere between 1/3 to 3/8th if the book. However the story alternates between the present story with the soldier alternates every chapter with her backstory. It was brilliantly done with the backstory chapters giving context to her actions in the present.

The Hobbit is to the other extreme where the backstory is a very pleasant few pages entitled ‘concerning hobbits’ and two pages telling us about Bilbo. After that we’re into the meat of the story and never turn back.

So there is no way to have a definitive answer other than the general advice for most writing, give them just enough of what they need and no more.

Probably not. I may want to out of curiosity, but not to engage in swinging. My partner definitely is not up for conversations about sex with strangers.

What uniform is the sexiest?

Inadvisable, but certainly possible.

Have you ever known someone very intimately (not in a sexual way) online?

I think you have your terminology mixed up.

Demisexuals are defined by not experiencing primary sexual attraction. Examples of this should be being turned on visually by a person’s body. It’s part of the asexual spectrum.

They can experience sexual excitement from emotional connections. They are unable to feel sexual attraction if they aren’t emotionally close to someone.

I think want you are describing seems more like a fetish. Uniform fetishes are real and it’s sort of a broad terminology for being attracted to certain clothing types. This can be an aesthetic attraction (which the goth scene does for me) or a psychological attraction (like finding a military uniform sexy because you like the power and discipline it infers on the wearer).

For some of your corporate crimes listed above; The dollar amount the company earned through illegal activity is often hard to peg down. However having fines based on the company’s worth based on their latest share holder fillings (not their tax filings) would be a good way to assess these.

Going slightly off topic we also need to start holding corporate players accountable with jail time for their crimes. Guy steals $200 from the till, he goes to jail. Corporation shorts employees $2,000,000 in wages over the year? Small fine.

Especially on a corporate level, these fines should be called into question. Make a million doing something illegal, fined 500k. That’s 500k profits. It’s an incentive to engage I. Illegal activity, not a deterrent.
