  1. This one is funny because Patti LaBelle's son apparently got involved and made a video claiming to be Dan Purdy after that account got doxxed as being the burner account in question. His message was that everyone should leave Dean Browning alone. Yeah, that Patti LaBelle. Shit's cray.
  2. I have absolutely whipped my dick out while on a zoom call, but that was while the call was going on safely in another room and I needed to take a piss. Only thing you have to worry about in that situation is the mute button, though.
  3. I didn't talk about the Democrats. What's with the whataboutism here? I'm not asking anyone to suddenly become a democrat. I'm asking them to look at what they actually believe, and compare the actions of Republicans to their beliefs. The actions, not the words. Some people will discover that they are in the right place and others won't. Those who discover they are in the wrong place have all sorts of choices as to where to go instead, and only one of those choices is to switch to the Democrats. Also, I wasn't generalizing, I was giving my specific experience with specific members of my family. You and I have had good conversations in the past, but the knee jerking has to stop if this is going to be another one.
  4. Part of the reason I quit calling myself a Republican was because I determined this was a value important to me, and it was not important to Republicans. I've since discovered that the conservatives in my family simply don't believe this. For them, being conservative is more about preserving their place, and fuck everyone else. They don't care if kids are in cages, they got tax cuts. They don't care that their party's policies negatively affected their gay son both due to just general disdain for "the gay lifestyle" and also terrible immigration policies, they got tax cuts. They don't care if people are wholesale discriminated against because of the color of their skin, because the group that wants to encourage that gives them tax cuts. Now to be fair, he hasn't ever said it directly to me, but I have the impression that in the case of one of my family members that's more of a feature than a bug. He does care, because he wants white people in power, and he gets that as a bonus with his lower taxes. To them, the dollar bills are so much more important than any other issue that it completely drowns out their ability to even see anything else. Republicans can commit whatever atrocities they want to commit as long as taxes are low. That's all that matters.
  5. Which explains why they'd have autographed pictures of them with those guns that they are leaving with their tips to random waitstaff at area restaurants.
  6. Yeah I tried this back before facebook when email forwards were still a big thing. It does not work. I'd get the email, do the research, prove it was factually incorrect, reply to the email, point out the actual facts, with references. In the case of my mom, I changed exactly 0 of her unfounded opinions. She did quit sending me those emails though. They do not care whether they are factually correct. They only care that what they believe gives them the correct feeling. That feeling could be security, it could be righteous indignation, it could be whatever it is that that person values. But they value that feeling way more than they value being factually correct. I never figured out how to get past it and it's a thing that I have spent hours and hours trying to solve now. There is a solution, I know there is, I just haven't figured out what that solution is yet.
  7. Just seeing the tapa version I was wondering what the Black guy from The Office did to earn that response. Wrong Craig.
  8. Santorum is not a good guy. I have the battle scars to prove it. That motherfucker needs to rot or admit he was absolutely wrong in his demonizations when he had power. He’s part of the reason that Trump is where he is today. I will never ever forget. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I had to quit watching CNN. Between Santorum and Blitzer it's just a fucking beating. That last interesting thing Blitzer said was during the first gulf war. Santorum should be quiet and enjoy his google popularity. He's boring and he's not good at playing the heel. Plus he has bad opinions.
  10. To me if we're legalizing something that used to be illegal, it means we're admitting that we made a mistake making it illegal to begin with. How would you like to be serving time for something that wasn't illegal? Or how would you like not being able to get the job you want because of your record because you did something 20 years ago that we're now admitting shouldn't have been a crime in the first place? But of course, we have to agree on the premise that it was a mistake it was ever illegal before the rest of that follows. If you don't agree with that part then agree to disagree is the way to go.
  11. Finally done with workout and food, time for a beer and then another until we get through this. How bad is the freak out so far? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Ok, wrapped up work, imma go get a work out in, then I'm going to order some pizza and crack a beer. Pace yourselves people.
  13. So back in the olden days I worked tech support. I hated calls from 2 states. New York and Florida. Mainly because New Yorkers were computer illiterate blowhards, and every Florida caller seemed to have a New York accent, so they were just as blowhardy and just as illiterate, but they were also retired and had more time on their hands to ruin my call stats. Fuckers. Although, dumbest call I ever had was a guy in Plano, claimed to be a lawyer, claimed to have graduated UT Law. Did not understand the concept of a semicolon. Like it wasn't a thing he'd ever heard of. I finally had him put on his teenage son to solve his problem for him.
  14. If you don't like poutine, you are dumb. The same could be said about moco loco if we ever get on the topic of hawaiian food. That's a feature, not a bug.
  15. Have some co-workers that love him because he's so logical. You can't beat him in an argument. I always just laugh at them when they try that.
  16. I don't think I'll ever get over that this is the song that he plays. That song is about staying in shape so you can suck more dick. Also, apparently the cop in the village people is nuts, and he's the one that wrote the lyrics, the rest of the village people don't get a say in whether or not that song plays.
  17. There is an A++ hotel in Indy that is the only hotel that was ever good enough to get me to consistently give up loyalty points to stay there. That said I go there for work, and I have yet to find anything in that city that makes it worth a trip if you don't have to be there. I also am not a fan of watching cars go around in circles.
  18. The Texas GOP is living in a land that doesn’t exist. I’m flabbergasted this is real. It’s like they elected Sara Huckabee’s crazy uncle to be in charge. How much further will it go before rational Republicans wake up and tell their team to get their shit together? Does it happen at all?
  19. No it’s not. It’s not even the stupidest choice by trump for that medal. Rush Limbaugh has one too. No fucking way that’s real. No fucking way.
  20. I think that’s his game plan. Helps sell more eyes to his new news network, which will be all fake all the time.
