  1. They'll give the well-off white kids a safe space to be cruel and racist. Same old same old. Everyone else will do other shit.
  2. I'm an anarcho-fascist communist member of the proletariat bourgeois elite young Republican NORML chapter.....or, at least, that was my pitch back in my college days. I figured if I checked all the boxes, it might improve my chances with the chicks. I certainly found myself saying "yeah, I totally agree!" with some whacked-out shit, simply because I thought it might make me marginally more charming and attractive to whatever girl had just shared said whacked-out shit. It worked on occasion. Like any of you can judge me.
  3. This is the official policy of the Executive Branch of the United States Government, by the way (which, in these days of a non-functional Congress and a sycophantic SCOTUS, means that it is the policy of the entire US Government). Everything you read about in "history" books about the worst of our racist past? Well....we're "making that shit great again."
  4. First, you learn that there is a social construct that says "don't say it, or you'll face consequences." So that starts the ball rolling on "I shouldn't say it." Then, you realize that the social construct is complex, and you realize that being the kind of person who says that word/wants to say that word says things about you, and you realize that you don't want to be that kind of person. Then, as you mature, gain experience, and actually gain perspective gained by truly listening to/reading the perspectives of black people, and realize how venomous and hurtful the term is when slung at them from a white mouth, you realize "Jesus, I'd never want to hurt someone like that, I'd never want to show such a lack of respect and humanity, I'd never want to attack another human's dignity like that." That is, you realize WHY using the word is wrong. But, that's where we break down today. Because that last step is where real change happens, but it requires empathy for other human beings who have had a different life experience and perspective than you have. And in America 2025, there is no word in our culture dirtier and more shat upon than "empathy." Empathy is woke communism from the depths of hell. Instead, selfishness and performative cruelty and shittiness are where it's at, and they are the only cultural attributes of any value in this modern marketplace. In short, you are anti-American if you DON'T sling hurtful racist slurs! America, fuck yeah!
  5. And...add him and the Mavericks to the list of artists who I never got to see live. Got some real regrets about this one. The other one of the same era who stings the same way is Hal Ketchum. Can't tell you how many times my wife and I were somewhere and a Hal song came on and we'd sing to each other with a drink in our hand, or just playing some Hal songs around the house on a Sunday afternoon. Both artists were kind of a soundtrack of our early marriage, some care-free years.
  6. Dude....how did this thread go all day without someone posting Raul Malo? Dude was fucking amazing. Our wedding playlist had a shitload of Mavericks in the rotation. https://www.npr.org/2025/12/09/nx-s1-5553410/raul-malo-the-mavericks-dies-at-60
  7. Yeah, but he's white, well-connected, and plays baseball. So, this is the correct outcome. Duh. Try to keep up.
  8. America 2025: best career plan for someone of limited intelligence stuck in a shit job? Do/say something horribly racist, set up Gofundme after inevitable backlash, make high six figures (like, 6-7 years of earnings from your prior gig). What an incredible time to live in.
  9. I don't know him. I know very little about him. BUT....I decided to pardon him. "I don't know what this red button does, but I decided to push it." Fucking moron-est moron in the world's most powerful moronocracy.
  10. I do like the new American standard. Did you upset me in any way? Cool. Then this is the right reaction: Those of you who saw Kentucky Fried Movie will get the reference.
  11. When you realize that to these people, the First Amendment is only a weapon to be wielded against their enemies, and not an actual shield to protect speech regardless of content, it all makes sense. These "strict Constitutionalists" actually fucking HATE the Constitution as a governing document and set of principles. The "Constitution" is just a word they use as a talisman to allow them to do whatever they want.
  12. "Arsonist seeks praise for putting out fire that he started. Film at 11:00."
  13. America, 2025: "The REAL racism is calling people who say and do blatantly racist things 'racists.'" What a time to be alive.
  14. I presume that's a reference to tentacle porn and blurred genitals.
  15. Naah, I just followed the story and read the full report after the Baylor/Briles rape scandal. Whole lotta absolving males from responsibility, and blaming victims, in a manner consistent with their fundagelical theology. When you see a pattern, you see a pattern.
  16. Maybe not practice repressive, sexist theology and policies that make sexual abuse inevitable. But that's clearly too much to ask.
  17. I have zero recollection. It was just eye-opening to a still relatively naive 19 year old. They were as mean as rattlesnakes literally in the breath they were using to pray. Taught me a whole lot that day. Was far from the last time that I’ve seen performative “Christians” be the worst, most evil fuckers on earth.
  18. Regardless of what he says…I firmly believe that adult males who wear a stocking cap 24/7 should be launched into the sun.
  19. Maga: "That Stassney fella's got a point!"
  20. I mean....it might make those passengers on Spirit flights a bit less unruly. Just spitballin' here.
  21. Dude....if we are LUCKY we might recover enough to be as dumb/smart as Mississippi. At this point, the only things we have in our favor are (1) diverse topography and (2) mexican food. Otherwise, we lose across the board.
  22. Duffy: "Internet poster @Macanudo made a post about how there are no buttplugs for rent available in any major US airport, which caused me to launch a full-scale effort to ensure that all manner of anal devices are available to travelers." Dumbest. Timeline. Ever. I gotta be honest....that's how I read the initial post. I was thinking "WTF? I immediately find the bar in every airport I go to. I pull right up and order a beer."
  23. Yep. When I was in service, the most abusive set of customers I ever had was....a table of super-showy "Christians" (ostentatiously saying prayers, talking about their church, blah blah blah - they were also the meanest, most demeaning people I ever had to deal with in my life). I didn't say shit to them. After about the 4th time they berated the shit out of me, I went back in the kitchen, and told the manager "table 5 is yours, I'm not going back over there." And that was that. He personally finished out their service, and said "yeah, they were awful, even to me. Here's the tip, you earned it." I told him nope, I don't want anything to do with them, including their money. See, it's easy not to be a confrontational piece of shit. Just....don't be a piece of shit. Oh, and fuck this fucker. "All these people who say I'm racist are totally making me be a racist!" "Also, I don't want to beat my wife. Why does she keep provoking me by burning my pancakes? Stop making me hit you, Linda!" HOWEVER, I will say that it's okay to hate people for certain very good reasons. For example, I think that he should be dragged behind a team of Clydesdales until his skin peels off for wearing that stupid-ass visor. There are few looks on earth that scream "dear God I need an ass-kicking" more than the white man visor look.
  24. As I understand, the only item we are authorized to send is a wreath. We have a fund for that.
