I’m pushing 40 so I’m not young but I’ve actually been buying more games lately thanks to being patient and not rushing out to buy AAA games along with switching from console to PC, gotta love Steam sales. I just bought two games I’ve been wanting to play for $30.
I live in Colorado and there are gulls here, we are far from the sea.
While there might be an interesting philosophical and psychological debate to be had over the topic of being transracial, the problem with the debate is that most people who propose it are doing so in bad faith, as a gotcha, and that doesn’t lead to any meaningful discussion. I think that’s why it gets dismissed so quickly. I’m not sure if you’re one of those people.
The way I start to think about it is, we often conflate race with cultural identity, just as people conflate gender identity and sexual preference, so separating those might be a starting point. Racially, my family is Northern European white (Scottish and German with a smattering of French and Scandinavian) but culturally, my family was poor Scottish people who where kicked out and sent to Ireland before becoming immigrants who moved to America and settled in Appalachia 250+ years ago where they lived as farmers until my grandparents generation. So culturally I’d identify as Scots-Irish historically with modern Appalachian US heritage.
I’m not really sure where this thought experiment goes next and how that ties to gender, someone much smarter than me might be able to make sense of my ramblings. Either way, I don’t want to just dismiss what you have to say but since you have no history other than this post I can’t be sure you are not a bad actor looking for a gotcha.
I thought you were getting better at the insults and you went back to your tired old playbook. Must be my fault for thinking you might have had an original thought. Oh well, you’re boring now so I’m done for the evening. Good night and I hope you’re able to fix whatever is broken inside of you.
Good insult! It’s like you really tried this time. Maybe your dad would still love you if tried a little harder to not be so worthless.

And I’m not sure how you’re able to use a computer with your head shoved so far up your own ass. Seems we both have questions this evening.
You came here to troll on an anonymous Internet forum and you’re not even brave enough to type your hate speech uncensored. Pathetic.
My brother lives in the Netherlands and he has a kid, a steady job, and a house and he got them all around the age of 40, so this headline tracks. To be fair though, I don’t know how steady his job is since it’s teaching.
I haven prescription sunglasses. Generally I don’t wear them inside, occasionally I’ll forget that I have them until after I’m in the store though. My eyesight without glasses is terrible so I leave them on. Sorry if I look like an asshole but I would have trouble navigating my way and finding what I need without them.
There was an article written about that very thing when the movie first came out.

Bearded person here. My basic advice, stop using your body wash as shampoo, even 3-in-1. Find a quality shampoo and figure out a conditioning regimen. It’s different for everyone, some people use a traditional conditioner that you rinse out, some use oils, others use balms/waxes/butters, and generally some combination. I’m lazy so I’ve found a two product system for myself.
Oils/balms/butters/waxes are typically put on when the beard is damp, and they have different levels of hold. Some things to know about those products: apply the oils to your skin under the beard and then comb or brush it through; also, use a product with quality oils like jojoba, argan, and coconut.
Lastly, find someone who can style it the way you want or get clippers and watch some videos and style it the way you want.
Yes, in this one very specific situation, enforcing the rules would’ve helped. It’s still doesn’t change the fact that if it was an adults only campground, this one very specific situation wouldn’t have happened in the first place.
Children aren’t a protected class and there are plenty of business and establishments that they are not allowed to be in, usually because it’s illegal for underage people to be there. But, what is wrong with a private business, like a campground or a a restaurant being adults only? How is detrimental to the kids?
It could’ve been a radio, but it wasn’t. It was kids screaming and parents not taking responsibility for their children. To me as the one in that situation, it certainly seemed like the kids and their parents were the problem.
The article she talks about child free campgrounds so I felt this was an appropriate anecdote to share.
I also wasn’t advocating that that campground should have been child free, my story was meant to illustrate why some people prefer adult only spaces.
She said: “A child shouts, laughs and moves … we are institutionalising the idea that silence is a luxury and the absence of children is a luxury.”
While it is nice not to be around screaming children, I’ve never thought of it as a luxury. Even “luxury” seats on airplanes can’t promise to be child free. Children aren’t a protected class as far as I know so there should be no problem with private businesses that want to exclude them.
I have no kids but I love kids and I like being around kids sometimes but, sometimes I like it when they aren’t around. I did a camping trip last week and one of my friends left early because a family showed up to their site after dark and the parents let the kids run around and scream even after we explained that it was after quiet hours. She couldn’t take it any more and left in the middle of the night.
So in my opinion, there need to be places that are child free or at least days and times when kids aren’t allowed. Many of my local museums offer 21 and over evenings where they serve alcohol and you can enjoy the exhibits without children around and it’s a very nice compromise.
Walking in an unkempt field with my dog on a late spring evening, no one else around, listening to the crickets.
That’s your opinion. I was a leashed child at one point in my life and I don’t care at all. It was pre cell phones so that argument doesn’t work either. It’s not about the parent not wanting to deal with their kid, it’s about them not wanting the kid to bother other people and to prevent toddlers from running off in large crowds.
Great work by the creator. A lot of great movies and shows were used, definitely some surprises and lesser known works but the clip from “Orgazmo”was the most unexpected for me.
Literally the same with Furiosa except I saw it three weeks ago.
Well said. Heck, for most Western countries, theater begins with the Greeks and even they were doing that with their gods and heros. The Bible has four different books about Jesus and sometimes even the same story is slightly different between the authors. The stories of English legends like King Arthur and Robbin Hood have been told and retold so many times that we can figure out when certain characters or traits that are common today were introduced.
