  1. Murkowski and Collins were the only Fascist Party members of the Senate who voted against him.
  2. Much like your feelings toward Troph and her kind, I hold no personal animosity toward you, but you've shown your fascist stripes. And I have a personal code that fascism has no place in America and, therefore, your participation as a member of this board should be canceled in the same way that you voted (without remorse) to cancel Troph's right to fully participate in American society. If she's a second-class citizen of the US, then you're a second-rate Surly poster. Just following your lead, and you said: #FAFO #WhatGoesAroundComesAround #YouReapWhatYouSow #DemDaRulez
  3. @RDCanecutter Is this the same town that was in the news a few years ago that was under investigation for giving seemingly every Tom, Dick, and Harry that deigned to drive past on the interstate? I want to say it was just north of Birmingham, the same as that town.
  4. I'm sure this is just a "lost in translation" thing, but do you or any other posters know what the bolded means?
  5. Because he wants to feel justified in his bigotry.
  6. Because it's HIS belief system, regardless of whether it's consistent, logical, or even coherent. @Texasborn91 is an authoritarian, through and through. He wants power over the personal lives of people like Troph. It doesn't matter if she's a physical threat, but what does is that she's nonconforming and, therefore, a threat to his narrow worldview that's based on his limited knowledge (which he's already admitted) and his immature, self-centered, bigoted feelings.
  7. Since @Texasborn91 has demonstrated zero remorse over actively voting for a fascist and has explained that part of his stated rationale for doing so was to purposefully cancel folks like Troph in real life, I personally would have zero qualms about canceling him in this virtual one.
  8. Given your posts in the NJ UFO thread, you seem like the type who's skeptical of government authority and doesn't take a shine to the government dictating your life. Am I correct on that assumption, based on that posting history? What if I were to tell you that in this bolded sentence, you're ceding to the government an immense amount of power to a central authority over an extremely personal thing that you take for granted with the comforting knowledge your gender expression conforms to the wishes of the ruling regime? If you're a religious person, consider that you are imposing a "man's natural order" mindset on God's glorious creation in all its various permutations where the combination of X & Y chromosomes and the infinite mix of hormones allows for (nay, insists on) an astonishing spectrum of possibilities. If you're a nonreligious person, simply replace "God" with "universe." Now, consider this question: Who the fuck are you or this government to impose this simplistic, black-and-white, or binomial stricture on a fluid, dynamic, and infinite reality, and under what authority? Authority. You're giving it away, freely, willingly, an immense amount of it, and that has wide fucking implications for those of us who are just plain old straight vanilla. And it's not because I fear the government suddenly misgendering me, but I do fear one that is emboldened to start making all kinds of other judgments and rulings over other parts of my personal life and right to privacy. Sure, right now, their focus is on this one small group of people, of which a vanishingly tiny subset play competitive sports. Like Brisket said, the number in NCAA sports is in the single digits. That's your stated concern, right? "Men" playing in "women's" sports. Why the fuck do you or anyone wish to turn this trivial sports shit that can be (and is) taken care of by the governing body of that sport into some epic, gargantuan fucking issue and place it into the hands of one old man? Do you understand what kind of power you're ceding to a singular individual who has demonstrated throughout his life that he thinks no one can contain his insatiable desire for more? Have you not picked up on the fact that he has a habit of slicing us up into all these little minority interest groups and individually picking them out for abuse? If you already understood all that and voted for the man anyway, you are undeniably fascist adjacent, at the very least, and have enabled a dictator. If you didn't grasp this shit, open your fucking eyes.

  10. Current front page. Just stunningly bad shit.
  11. I was going back through her IMDB, and she was also in a small indie movie that was filmed in Austin a few years ago called "Mr. Roosevelt," which I've actually seen because someone I had a few dates with has a small role in it. Lower didn't play the lead, so I didn't remember her from it. Looks like it can be rented on Amazon for $3.99. It's an "okay" movie -- kind of your typical small indie that feels like it was made in the 90s.
  12. Never heard of the guy (I haven't followed the NFL since the 1990s), but he's got my attention and respect now.
  13. I do know how to read, and according to the article, NASA does (or did) indeed have a planetary defense program.
  14. So, does anyone know if NASA still has a planetary defense program right now?
  15. Yep. Just keep hammering away on that same consistent message over and over again across the spectrum of issues we'll be facing until it belatedly dawns on the dumbasses.
  16. Yeah, I quickly started to quietly reflect on that after posting. I suppose I could go back and edit it to something like, "America doesn't support European dictators," but the best choice should've been not to post any of my own commentary and just let the image speak for itself. Well, I've learned my lesson.
  17. Got these from some European-related subreddits. Warning: They are royally pissed at America right now.
  18. America does NOT support dictators!!! Well, it didn't used to.
  19. Accurate, but I think this better captures the lead-up in our timeline.
  20. My Church of Christ grandma told me (a child) point-blank that her daughter (my mom) and all of our family were going to hell because we were Southern Baptist. Attending her nearby country church as a kid was made especially painful by the awkward-as-fuck way that every hymn started without instruments or universally understood downbeat.
  21. At the risk of going off on too much of a tangent that would belong in a religion thread, I'll briefly piggyback on these comments from earlier this morning to state the obvious--while still being a profoundly interesting religious observation--that American "Christianity" has basically dispensed with the merciful, forgiving, and kind Christian god of the New Testament, only to have gone back to the angry, jealous, and vengeful god of the Old Testament, which I'd argue couldn't possibly be the same omniscient, omnipotent god (different thread topic). I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge nowadays (at least around these parts) that psychological studies have demonstrated Republicans/conservatives generally lean much more heavily toward an authoritarian mindset than liberals/progressives, which obviously goes hand-in-hand with all that fire and brimstone shit. So, I guess it makes sense why they mean to make us all regress back into being like the foolish Old Testament Israelites who could never learn a fucking lesson. I guess all we can do now is just await god's judgment, wrath, and punishment for falling for this anti-Christ. The End Times, here we come.
