There is a big difference between calling a lot of names, and calling someone something that is about their race, gender or sexual orientation. Do better.
Advice that would have been useful on the night of your conception. It's possible someone did try to warn your parents, but they mistook it for an imperative not to put too much chipotle in the chilli.

HCR, Like Kevine Kruse, Julian Zelzer, Joann Freeman, and several other publicly visible historians, is a goddamn gem. She and Kevin in particular are indispensable.
Republicans (for ages): "The Supreme Court ought not be about political agendas but only about following the law." McConnell, today, just after the Senate votes to limit debate on Amy Coney Barrett: "A lot of what we’ve done over the last four years will be undone sooner or later by the next election. They won’t be able to do much about this for a long time to come." McConnell correctly frames Barrett’s confirmation as a GOP policy achievement, since she will implement Republican policies that are too unpopular to pass democratically. Democrats can either expand the court or concede defeat for decades.
A, It's not all about me. B. There are different degrees of bad. Calling someone an idiot or a child or a hypocrite is about things the person did. Insulting someone because of immutable characteristics that they did not choose not only has an inherent potential to be more harmful because of the additional history behind those insults, it is also less moral to call names on those grounds. C. Implying that calling Ghost of Crazy Horse a child or Federal Farter or whatever is the equivalent of his calling another poster a faggot or other people using racist or other slurs is an odd hill to choose to die on, but enjoy.
Is it normal to swear them in under cover of darkness, or is this a special case so she doesn't burn up in the sunlight?
Agreed, bud, sorta like slurring someone for being born in the South. Granted some people can be a bit too 'on the nose' when they pick their handle here. Heh, irony can amuse.
You've completely inverted reality with your constructed fiction, amigo. And I have little doubt that you sincerely believe yourself. You're particularly remarkable because your bubble never seems to burst however many needles may pierce it. E.g. like all that Trump violence against LGBT commuters in NYC following Nov 2016 that never transpired and dozens of other catastrophes since then. You adroitly just move on to the next bubble, seemingly unfazed.
Sez the lawyer who used to own a boat in a marina in NYC before he became a "Texan" because he couldn't find enough people in his social class who believed he was All That.
That seems to be a reasonably correct summary of what McConnell said, since he phrased this as a victory for Republicans that couldn't be undone by the voting public for a long time.
Well, well, well. I once joked about you possibly rebutting an argument with (insert gay slur) in MC, and that got me an GFY smiley from your ass. Can't make you mad if I'm right.
Or, in the not crazy world, being years ahead of his time in (and foreshadowing) the NYC/California fuck-your-lunacy exodus. [also trading max 70 hr work weeks for 70 hr quarters.] And what does that mean, anyway, to "own a boat in a marina," do you imagine that when I left my home port on a sailing trip that I no longer owned my boat? Or is that too Async/Packard of me to ask?
From the f-slur to fellatio. FF is clearly terrified that cock is delicious. Freud would have a field day.
I would like to think that one day, these hearings will be treated less like the opportunity for grandstanding and more like a job interview. Can you imagine being at a job interview and refusing to answer basic questions about what you plan to do in the job, the field you are in, and the like? In giving as many non-answers as possible to avoid controversy about who you really are and what you really believe? https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/10/minority-rule-exhaustion-powerless.html
^Aka, the "sour grapes" opinion piece, angry that ACB applied the RBG rule and got the job (while in the process bumping approval of ACB up from 38% before her hearings, to a majority of americans after the hearings). Happy b'day, Hillary. Jirl power (except women who disagree with leftists).
