Can you finish? Do you have sexual urges still?

They're referring to the roots of the Democratic party, as the more conservative and slave supporting party. The Democratic party is old, and until relatively recently was the further right party in the US. Which also helps explain why the Republicans are red, traditionally a left color, and Dems are blue, traditionally a right color. While it's not really relevant to modern politics, and bringing it up like they just did is more of a historical bit of trivia, it's not really mental gymnastics, it's more of an "akshually" moment. The Democratic party does not have progressive roots, its roots are deeply, deeply conservative and right wing, and should be acknowledged.

What is a neet?

If you were still waiting tables, what would you have done/felt had tipping been outlawed? Change of jobs, looked for something at a certain rate of pay for waiting?

There's an option to tip at the self check out at my grocery store. The fuck ám I tipping? It's self check out. Am I tipping myself? Fuck these people

I go with "universal time, coordinated" in my brain

This is the kind of positivity we need more of in the world

That sounds awesome! I'm glad you get to do work you enjoy. It sounds like a fun career, from the outside anyway. I'm sure it has its downsides.

Around the same time I got the notification for this I also had just commented on a thread about licking booze off a nutsack (weird thread) and I when I saw this, I was like "well obviously" lmao

And I understand what you mean..if there were a female AU/clone of me, I don't think I'd be interested at all. Then again, just to try it, maybe? In an environmental I was sure would be judgement free. Hmm... Idk now that I think of it.

I was homeschooled, but my foster brothers elementary school gym teacher was a powerfully lesbian lesbian woman with a flat top haircut and a penchant for flannel in the middle of the summer in coastal Virginia. She lived a few doors down from us, and would come by occasionally for cookouts and stuff. I loved her so much, she was amazing. She was also one of the first people to clock me as gay. I didn't even know I was gay, but I still distinctly remember her giving me a hug one day when this boy I wanted to be friends with told me he didn't want to be friends with me. Looking back, it was so obviously a crush, but I didn't realize it then. She was outside when she overheard the two of us, we'd been riding bikes. She hugged me, told me that not everyone can love everyone, and that it was okay. I'd find more and better friends, and when I got older, I'd be able to tell who the good ones were. It was like a pre gay pep talk, and she was so kind.

Because fat is a shitty shorthand for evil, slothful, full of vice, et cetera

I don't know, but I assume it comes with some benefits. If not, why make the pact with the devil in the first place?

Change it to a college marching band and I'd sign up for that course of antibiotics

Mainly their antennae, occasionally they're solid state storage drives

Yeah, you occasionally get that type in security. They suck. Mainly you get older people who can't retire and young people who need a second or third and need night shift job.

Yep! Same thing I've been saying. You can use the mobile browser, but that's a pain in the ass, trying to use the controls meant for laptops and desktops on a tiny screen, plus if you pause and to to something else for w minute it refreshes the page half the time. Very frustrating. I mean, I do, when there's something I want to watch (Ted lasso, mainly), but yeah, PITA, and I don't understand why they do it, when nearly half of all mobile users in the US are on Android. There's no way it's an oversight, it's either a legal thing or a slight, like when Amazon wouldn't allow YouTube apps

Mind if I ask what denomination? I found the Episcopal church and it genuinely helped me feel like a Christian again. As a gay man (who also posts porn sometimes!), and growing up Baptist, I never felt like I couldn't be a follower of Jesus, but I also never felt like I could be part of a community of followers of Jesus, and the Episcopal church helped me find that community again for the first time since childhood.

They didn't. 3 piece suits are older than penguins, because penguins are a type of bird, and birds were invented by the US government as surveillance drones.

It does not. That's just for tv boxes, won't work on phones and tablets.

How dare you use an apple product! I know you just said you don't want to get into it, but I just can't help myself from making my choice on the duopoly a linchpin of my personality, and now I'm going to be irrationally angry at you for choosing the only other option, even though you probably didn't choose it, per se, but just went with what you needed to go with because of social factors or because of sales with your (again limited choice of) carriers!

Damn apple cultist /s
