Hmm, this has not been my experience at all. I mean the ego thing I get, but otherwise, I must vehemently disagree!

The problem is that the people in power by and large know that they are vengeful, so they assume everyone else is as well. And some will be, but I hold out hope that you are right, and most won't be when they get power.

I have tested every time I've come home from a work trip since the pandemic started. Always tested negative, including on Friday. I had a little bit of a cough when I got home plus a runny nose, and honestly wouldn't have thought to test again, assuming I had a cold, if we weren't going on vacation next week. So I decided to test again just to make sure I'm doing all the shit I can do to make sure I'm negative by next week. I did feel a little extra tightness in my chest this morning which helped make the decision for me. As an asthmatic, it's alarming to be getting chest tightness when you don't have at least some idea where it's coming from, but I still most likely wouldn't have tested if we weren't trying to get out of town next week, though. Also, feel more sure that I did get COVID in the first wave right when lockdowns were starting. Cough, runny nose, chest tightness for a couple days after a work trip to New Orleans. There weren't any tests then for me to find out for sure, but if this goes the way it did then, I should be back to 100% in the next couple days.

Oh and by the way, to be serious here for a second. Let's look 10 years down the road, shall we? 1. Because of Roe being overturned, contraceptives have been outlawed 2. And because of shit laws like they passed in Florida, gay kids are once again ostracized to the point that they will hide their sexuality until later in life. That's going to have a 2 fold negative effect on life for EVERYONE. #1, more gay kids are going to end up fathers (or mothers) before they figure things out, which will wreak havoc on those gay kids and their whole fucking families in a way that coming out never can. And of course, let's not forget #2. We are voluntarily giving up one of the best tools for fighting STI's while at the same time pushing people into closets where they are MORE likely to partake in risky sex anyway, and guess what is going to come back with a vengeance? If you guessed HIV rates to skyrocket, you are a winner! Fucking A this is depressing.

Yeah, I've been posting on these boards for a long fucking time. I have argued with a lot of you for 20+ years now. Most of you disagreed with me about gay marriage back when I first started posting about it on Hornfans. Y'all are still the same people, you were just presented with evidence that your opinions were incorrect and you corrected them, much as I have done on many topics over the years from listening to you imbeciles. The difference between those of you that are still around, and people like Ag with Kids, who used to be a great poster, is that he didn't let facts get in the way of his opinions. All those so-called conservative posters that went away did so because they knew they were wrong, they knew they couldn't win the arguments they were making intellectually anymore, and they didn't want to be reminded of that fact. All the rest of us have gone on being fiscally conservative, we've gone on being for personal liberty, and we've realized that we can't be Republicans if we believe in those concepts, because Republicans do not believe in those ideals, despite the fact that they don't ever stop yelling about how much they believe in them. I feel sorry for people like Ag with Kids who couldn't use the brain God gave him to look at reality and adjust to it. It must be a really shitty world where you have to spend so much of your time trying to fake reality to match your beliefs. I'm sorry for your loss, Ag with Kids. And to prove that I have also changed my opinion on things based on what I've read here, you have proved to me that there is an exception to every rule. I no longer think OU grads are 100% sister fuckers. Now I'm only certain that 99.9% of them are.

So I officially tested positive today as well. 4 weeks of work travel did me in finally, I guess.

Quid pro quo retaliation is illegal when people do it in the workplace. Why isn't it illegal when politicians do it?

Well Biden's statement was stupid, I agree, but not for why you thought it was. Either, the person coming at the police has no arms, and therefore couldn't be carrying a knife, or, the person is carrying a knife, and therefore couldn't be unarmed. Aslo, I don't think anyone is too concerned when they hear that someone shot a person who was in the act of attempting to attack the shooter with a knife. As long as the video evidence supports it, of course.

So, the "Q" asshole is running for office
NameAlreadyInUse replied to Gil Bang's topic in Cloak Room
Yep the punchline at the end was hilarious "He's right, I made a mistake." However, it proved to me he's not cut out to be in the current GQP. If he was, he would've doubled down on the stupid instead of admitting he was wrong. -
Him being the airplane dipper absolutely would’ve tracked. Oh well.

Desantis is a POS and needs his own thread

Well I wouldn’t have ruined her life because I’m me, but I’d have been doing my best to ruin my own life. Or I would’ve wound up dead from drugs or alcohol or suicide. When people try to lie to themselves about things they fundamentally know are true about themselves, it takes a toll. Acting out in destructive ways is common, and the results can be awful for the person lying and the people they are connected to. Fucking sad that we are actually actively trying to go back to that time. -
Wait, lobo is cruiser, the airplane dipper?

TG&Y for those of us who didn't have a mall nearby.

One of my junior high coaches had those parents. He'd get whipped whenever he used his left hand. I remember him telling that story and thinking it was bizarre. Then I later when I started hearing about the gay conversion movement I thought back to that story and realized that some people just need to have control over everything. They want you to choose x because they want you to choose x and there is no better reason to choose x than because they said so. I feel for all the people who chose x when their natural inclination was to choose not x in an effort to get along with their parents or other authority figures. I'm thankful every day I figured out how to get past that. -
Yep. Need more than that. Had a conversation with my mom about it last week. "But the police let all those people in, I don't know what they were doing wrong." People on the right are choosing not to see the stuff that would show them that anything nefarious happened. We also talked about the crazies arming themselves because the dems are getting ready to outlaw all guns. Her response, "Well not yet." So it doesn't matter what the Dems actually say about the 2nd amendment. Reality is no longer a factor to those on the right. They are going to believe what they believe and they are going to ignore any evidence that tells them maybe they shouldn't believe it. I told her that being duped into believing something is fine and is no stain on her, as long as she quits believing it when presented with information that she was duped. After that, it's 100% on her if she keeps believing nonsense. I expect her to keep believing nonsense.

Running Alt-Right Thread of Mockery and Hypocrisy

Well, the good news is, it's complicated, so it's ok if you don't know all the details, since it's not details that ever affected you directly. But in the end, most people are either straight or they aren't. Those that aren't may choose to try straight relationships. That doesn't make them straight, it just means they are trying to ignore their non-straightness, sometimes it can be done successfully, but usually it's a recipe for disaster. I was gay the whole time I was dating females. And that's why I stopped dating females, because I finally was willing to admit that and deal with it. -
And this last string of responses is why I love you all! Fucking fantastic!

So you know man, saying it once, getting corrected and not continuing to say it is the only thing I ask for, so I'm not going to rake you over the coals for word choice. I've been guilty of poor word choices plenty of times in my life so live and learn. And yes, I had girlfriends all the way up until I broke up with my last one at 24 years old. Up until I got to UT, I was sheltered enough that I thought that all gay people were flamboyant, and I wasn't, so I didn't think it applied to me. I grew up in a time where this don't say gay thing was the norm in all schools, and my friends at UT were just like my friends back home. Being gay was a really really bad thing to be. It was a fucking social death sentence to be out in high school. Hell it was a social death sentence to even be thought to be gay in high school. My experience at UT was the same. Having girlfriends helped to keep any suspicions at bay. Plus I like hanging out with women so aside from the sex part, which I wasn't into, it wasn't a super hardship. When you throw on parental expectations, well..... The reason I think this is so terrible is pretty simple. I already got to grow up in that environment. I already got to see what that environment looks like in practice. I saw that when it's a whispered about topic and never talked about out loud, it becomes a taboo topic that is weird or gross or scary, and things that are weird or gross or scary get separated out and ostracized by their peers. It's a very lonely place to be. For some kids, it's too lonely and will lead to all kinds of problems. Self abuse, self harm, destructive behavior, suicide are all things that are pretty common amongst that cohort. I do not want any future kids to be stuck in that rut because of their sexual orientation. I know that if this bill is effective in the way they want it to be, that will be the effect. And that, to me, is unconscionable. And yes, to be a gold star is to only have had sex with people with whom you are actually attracted. A gold star hetero has only had sex with the opposite sex. A gold star gay has only had sex with other males, and a gold star lesbian has only had sex with other females. I suspect a lot more young people are gold stars today because they don't have to worry about being ostracized to the extent that it was a worry for any kid who thought they might be gay back in the 80's. This law will have the effect of pushing a lot more kids right back into the closet for no good reason at all.- 7492 replies

What’s nuanced about a female teacher getting married and changing her last name? -

So do you consider you are “advertising it” when you talk about your wife at work? Put another way, would you be concerned if your youngest kid’s teacher was getting married and told her class she was changing her name to match her husband’s midway through the year? What about if that same teacher instead said she’s getting married and is changing her name to match her wife’s? if you think there is a material difference between those scenarios, why? -
If you don’t care about looking fat I’m not going to stand in your way, just sharing advice on how to wear clothes in such a way that your wife will find you better looking.
