SARGE

It's curtains for me.

I guess I'd better frame my next comment differently!

I meant widow, sorry for not being clear.

A former friend cut contact after we had an argument about this.

Paraphrased:

Me: "if your uncle arrests someone for assault, and his friend waited for him outside the target's house and drove him away, would the friend not also get arrested for being an accomplice?"

Her: "yeah, the guy knew the crime was going on so he definitely is part of it"

Me: "So if your uncle is standing in line at a protest to 'keep things peaceful' and then he just stands there while the cop next to him drags a peaceful protester to the ground and starts beating them, and two others begin pepper spraying and shooting bean bags at people's heads in clear violation of many laws from local to federal, and your uncle doesn't even speak up? What is he? Come on, laws were broken by his buddies and he's not confessing, and is in fact helping cover up the crimes, so if he's helping with crime, and knows about more crime, but doesn't come forward like a good law abiding citizen, what is he."

I was way more petty about it than I needed to be, but all cops means all cops and don't fucking try to lecture me on how your preferred cop is somehow special. A bad apple spoils the bunch, use the whole fucking proverb or don't bring up apples again, bitch.

Most people I know didn't even know Kirk was married until his ~~assassination planner~~ window started making the news screeching about how much of a saint he was.

But Riker is straight.

Straight up screwing everything beautiful and willing!

Women, non-binary, non-gendered, men, it's all the same to a sex god.

Personally I choose to believe violet08 is a robotic cat, and simply pretending to be a woman in hornyposting mode because they enjoy trolling.

Because the kind of brain that thinks "I deserve all this money" is broken, and not even close to resembling the brain that thinks "I should use the extra money I have to help others"

The two things are incompatible. Shit, I wouldn't even feel comfortable showing my face to employees who don't earn close to what I take. I'd be too ashamed that I'm essentially stealing from them since I'm not doing to work of 20 people (let alone 150,000) by myself.

The brain that doesn't have that shame doesn't even think about others, unless it's in the context of "how can I exploit this"

Men is indeed too headache.

It has always been appropriately named.

It's just that most people assumed it meant "defending the country" instead of "defending rich pedophiles"

I once donated $50.

It's not much, but I've definitely got my money's worth and then some over the years.

I once ran a campaign of a game similar to D&D where one of the players had geared a character to be super charismatic and had an end goal of being able to persuade anyone to do anything.

She kept persuading the random side characters that helped them into joining, until they had a small army of Merry Men.

Yeah, the campaign took a back seat while they played Robin hood for awhile.

She started specifically targeting side npcs because I wanted to drop a character that was making my vocal chords hurt. They liked the npc because he was basically a child's vision of a stereotypical pirate.

Oh, my rooms tend to get hot by themselves, so it's less "cool it then heat it" and more "cool it, then stop cooling and let it warm up naturally around morning"

Except in winter, I guess. Then it's just "don't heat until morning"
