DOJ |OT| SUMMIT NOW SUMMIT NOW

[Hermit]

They gave me a random issue of a hunting magazine for christmas, I don't hunt or am into guns or anything. Her husband is into guns, not me.

LOL your family hates you dude

My sister gave me a wine bottle opener for christmas -- I don't drink, I'm a recovering alcoholic. My sister drinks wine, I don't touch any liquor at all and haven't for years and years now.

holy shit 

She got me a $10 beanie for the Houston Texans. I don't watch NFL football, and I hate the Texans. SHE is a Texans fan, not me.

Now, to compound this, I actually had asked her for something this year. In the last 6 months, I lost 80 lbs on a keto diet, something I'm super proud of. I would text her my progress when I'd lose weight, she knows it was a huge deal to me. A big part of how I did it was by completely cutting out sugar from my diet. I have had an enormous sweet tooth ever since I was little. So, for christmas, all I asked her for was to get me some candy, any candy. I told her christmas day would be the lone cheat day for me, the day I'd forget about keto just for a day and eat all the candy I wanted. Didn't have to be expensive candy, just any candy. I would bring it up pretty much every time we'd talk, which is pretty frequently, how I was excited for candy on christmas day. She didn't get me any candy. She actually made fun of my old weight and how I was "begging for candy" when I walked in, in front of the whole family (extended and all) which was at my mom's house for christmas. I'm sensitive about my weight, so right from the moment I walked in, I felt awkward.

Damn she hates him.

He has a self admitted anger problems and goes to counseling for it so his sister is probably afraid of him.

To white Americans: For us Latinos(Or minorities for that matter), it is cringeworthy when you try so hard to police what other white Americans should or shouldn’t do. Are you trying to win minority brownie points?

who the fuck expects a certain tier of gifts of any kind

if you have a nice exchange then good job everybody

if you give better than you get then you get to enjoy a sense of smug superiority as you embarrass them in front of everyone else

[porkbun]

If you're expecting a big gift from a sibling that has kids, you're being a selfish moron.  Christmas/holidays is all about the kids.  Also who would make a fucking collage of a dog that died 5 years ago, pictures from grade school, etc and think of them as a "thoughtful" gifts?  Again, if the sister has kids, their house is already cluttered with a bunch of junk, they don't need any more from the creepy shut in brother who apparently can't buy his own candy.

Also, early thesis from our favorite white baby murder mod

Slavery in the United States only ended 154 years ago. That's two 77 year olds living and dying back to back.

And since then, what has happened is that we failed on Reconstruction, enshrined racist traitors into our national mythos as heroes, created a hooded terrorist organization from a stupid movie, burned down cities and ran people out of governmental positions they were rightly elected to, installed Jim Crow, fought to prevent these people from engaging in their God-given civic rights, began ratcheting up policing and jail sentences, gutted the Civil Rights act, elected a white supremacist right after we elected the first black president, had Nazis march in the South (again) and kill a person, have seen an increase in hate crimes and overt racism, with a non-zero likelihood that this same government will be elected again next year.

Even on this left-leaning site getting white gamers to not balk at the mere existence of a black character in a video game is like wringing blood from a stone.

And this is just an extremely truncated version of the history of white supremacy. I could go on and on about sundown towns and redlining and medical malpractice and bombings and loans. This history also refers to just one country out of the many others that were besieged by colonialism, a destructive movement that was in existence for a few centuries, longer than my people have "enjoyed" their rights as American citizens.

This idea that 100 years is enough for racism to just not exist anymore is insulting as all hell when white people have already had 154 years to actually prove something to non-whites and yet they still get it wrong with routinely deadly consequences. And on top of that they get mad when you tell them they keep getting it wrong. This attitude is baffling.

writing a list of only negative events over the course of 150 years because to include positives would be a form of both-sidesism

treating these events as all roughly equivalent in badness since to imply any progress on this front would be a form of both-sidesism

positioning the standpoint you're refuting as "ALL bad things have been eradicated" because you have so little confidence in the persuasiveness of your own ideas that you need to set up a nice little straw man to knock down

I’d love to see her list on what things were like BEFORE slavery ended. I’m sure the standards on bail and loans were way better then.

Ignoring and talking down progress just causes people to make less effort and become more convinced that nothing can be done to help. But she convinces herself that any recognition of progress means people want to ignore the problem whatsoever.

Does anyone else feel they can’t have sex (or do certain sexual acts) due to germaphobia, or something related? I’m a total germaphobe (OCD), which can make sex difficult for me as sex sometimes grosses me out.

For example, I just had a threesome with two guys. One guy and I were topping the third, and then the bottom went down on us and then began making out with us. It totally grossed me out but because I didn’t want to be a buzzkill I just went along with it.

Now I’m going home, freaking out that I’m going to get some stomach flu or something, and I have chronic tummy issues and afraid it will make those issues worse... Anyway...

Anyone else has had that problem?

Were you using condoms?

Nope. Prep and tested (cleared).
