    The fact that you can't see the difference between the two scenarios is a "you" problem, not a me problem.  

    Individual vs collective. 

    Truth is I'm not a particularly empathic person so how other people perceive things isn't really a concern of mine.  It's a character flaw, to be sure, but it's not something I have control over.  

    I've actually been diagnosed with mild psychopathy ...and yes, it is measured on a spectrum. 

    Edit for Empathy. I hope you find help and peace.

    The end is overdue. We were told it would end yesterday.

    We all just need to assemble at the Tower in our Burnt Orange. I have a Ukraine flag with apropos amount of sun fading and wind wear to give us enough gravitas to survive with only so much shame.

    Hook em,  Slava Ukrani.

    I'm sorry we let you down.

    Some of us care.

    I can appreciate that, but IMO, reverting to someone's given name as opposed to their preferred name and calling someone the N word isn't in the same ballpark.

    If someone were to say that Jenner should be called the "T" word, then that would an apt comparison.

    That's not what's happening in this case.  Jenner's voting and vocal support of the anti-trans movement has voided the respect required to be called by a preferred name.  Just as I might call some other fascist asshole Dick even though I know they want to by Richard.

    I don't have the energy, nor the desire to cater to fascist fee-fees

    This has vibes like my brother who can't come around to not calling Asians "Orientals".  Its just not a big fucking deal. It's like you are digging in for no reason.

     

    Bruce is dead; replaced by asshole Caitlyn.

    Ironically, a bunch of Christofascist, mostly Catholic, assholes has co-opted the term "common good" for a scheme that achieves just that -- provided you think common good is defined by a bunch of Christofascist assholes.

    I'm sure you're quite aware of this, but posted for those who aren't.  IconoMacklemore is a cheerleader for this.

    The Texans are out of the playoffs and suck.  (Not really) -Bud Adams was a cool dude. Tailored Jerseys are Dope.

    No, but it was really all about the friends we met along the way. And horrific war crimes. And a horrible new way to wage war. And yet again abandoning allies in the worst way. But mostly new friends. And unified outrage over racism and oligarchs and war crimes. That did nothing to change fuck about shit.

    We should all take a group photo holding up heart shaped hands,  with a Ukraine flag, then hug or fuck or something.

    /Retreats to sadness.

     

    Could really use a Warthog video right now. Alas, no.

    Oh, I blew past the "every person left of MAGA should arm the fuck out of themselves" point years ago.  I unironically advise the most anti-gun people I know to arm themselves silly.  

    Because the folks who yell the loudest about "we gotta arm ourselves to protect against an oppressive gubmint!" are damned well turning that into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    I did just that, but unfortunately I lost it all in all boating accident.

    It saddens me greatly to see what this orange clown and his band of death cult followers have done. Hardly unique to see this kind of person in power throughout history, but you would never have expected it to happen in America, but here we are. Our soon to be allies in name only are hopefully putting together contingency plans to deal with us for at least four years, if not longer.

    Hopefully for them; longer

    The prayer was prefaced with a “let’s have a moment of silence for the victims of the SoCal fires and the terror attack in NOLA”. We were chumped into standing for a prayer.

    I’ve come to singing “ the wheels on the bus go round and round” in my head when chumped into a prayer. Seems to have the same effect as the prayer.

    Yeah moment of silence is fine. Then they slid right into Christian prayer.

    That's what bothered me.

    And I'm a Christian. 

    Imagine the chaos if they let someone pray to allah.

    Found that odd as well. Very high schoolish and I can’t recall ever seeing that at a college game. I already find it odd that we sing the national anthem at games but not in other aspects of our lives. But whatever. I stand for all of these things mainly because it triggers others when they see someone sitting down.

    I found it very odd and it pissed me off in a variety of ways. 

    Forcing an entire stadium to pray.

    The completely anti christ concept of making prayer a big spectacle.

     

    Shits out of hand.

    I think the anthem is odd as well but I always stand respectfully - my whole life. While people stood in line for beer or sat - up until a few years ago.

    Sounds very anti-American if you ask me.

    The og Wizard of OZ certainly isn't though. Blind faith in phoney executive leader that is self- serving and impotent, but vilifies people that look different and thus keeps the masses endeared to himself by stoking fear and hate of others.

     

    That's American as Apple Pie.  (are we the only country that eats apple pie?)

    Just started Wicked with my in laws and MIL says she heard it was very “woke”.  I asked her what woke meant. She said “it means being very accepting of other people”. The horror. We can’t have that. 

    I joked to my wife that it was super woke after we watched it.  Amazing film.

    But very woke.

    Accepting people's differences

    Accepting people that are born different.

    Accepting that hard work and effort are better than being born wealthy and vapid

    Accepting that animal cruelty is wrong.

    Being a good friend.

    Being kind.

     

    The horror.

    That was my initial reaction, but after thinking about it I want Ohio State to win. I want it to feel very clear that we lost the NC in this game, for Sark's sake. He needs to adapt on game day. 

    Also I want our revenge victory in Game 1 next year to be against the defending national champs. 

    I want Ohio State entire roster to get face Aids and ebola so that ND wins only by forfit.
