    It could only be worse if he gave himself the title "cooch slayer".

    Not anymore since Reno only has one, but you really do same money and most of the time, their items are identical to other name brands, like their tomato/broccoli pizza that's identical to the one by Amy's organics.

    That hatch Mac and cheese does hit different those :drool:

    sounds like a publix. That is a complimentary thing from my perspective.

    Hon, you someday have to come and see the gay shit around boca. I actually went to drag queen bingo at a episcapalian church where they have a lesbian preacher. I am there dressed as an anime catgirl with my gay jewish friend. The whole charity for the night was this FOB hispanic tranny up to Orlando for a drag pageant. This isn't a movie. This was friday night. Weird thing, three nights before me and my gay jewish guy friend were at boomer bingo night at the over 55 bunch and were having a hoot. I am going to try and get this shit together and have the queens do drag bingo at fucking king's point. Yes, that is the king's point where Mike Fucking Pence spoke at the last election to try and capture the Duh. It isn't the villages, but it is the villages parent.

    And who is dug in with board entertainment connections in the area? Me. My whole white ass trans life has manifested to where I can see the threads of flipping florida from behind republican lines. I feel like the bitch in red from that quentin movie about the bastards. Unfortunately the name seems to be outside the harmonic shielding of my halo is putting out.

    Do you know there is Mrs. Doubtfire drag performers now? Robin, you were fucking special to us all.

    "A trans bridge" would be Spanner who became the literal space bridge in the Transformers comics continuity.
    As for it being "too far" well....I'm sure it's a bucket-load of light years to Cybertron.
    Depends what your yardstick is.

    I'm sorry, folks, staring at the dumb title over and over made Spanner appear in my head, and he wouldn't get out.

    In all likelihood, @TheLonelySquire got bullied pretty bad for being deeply religious and holier than thou while he was growing up and now he's massively overcompensating on the internet by never missing a chance to tell us how many chicks he's scored or how hot his wife is

    Whole thing is just sad

    Read: Submit to YOUR definition of decency. Treat strangers with respect they have not earned and deference that is not theirs to claim.

    Chappelle is basically saying the same thing I am. Respect their right to indulge in whatever fantasy they wish. Just don't expect me to call it reality.

    Let's say you have a coworker who doesn't believe in miscegenation and interracial marriage. Like truly deeply believes it is a sin and against God and that by definition a marriage between two people of different races is not real.

    Another coworker gets married and changes their name.

    The one who believes that marriage isn't real insists on using their old name and referring to them as unmarried.

    Would you think that person is:
    1. A brave individual standing up for their beliefs and against the forces trying to make them recognize something they don't believe in. Or...
    2. A complete raging asshole.

    Only that which I have earned. But I must value it before I will bother. I say mutual indifference should be the default setting until there is some reason for that needle to move.

    Money is a token of universal trust.
    Credit is based on belief in an imaginary future.
    Both of those require human interaction beyond indifference.
    Congratulations, you've just collapsed capitalism.

    #1 - While I may not agree with them I realize not everyone is going to think similarly. Nor should they.

    there he goes again, thinking "respect" is like a bunch of mario coins or something that if he jumps high enough or kills a few turtles can be earned...

    Respect isn't earned... it should be the default setting that either grows or deteriorates based on experiences.

    Replace "respect" with "courtesy" and I would agree with you.

    Mario coins are worthless if they aren't backed by the Mushroom King.
    Mushroom King can't back the coins without respect and trust of his subjects.
    Again, a world run by Albertism would collapse its economy pretty fast.
