Guess what, sometimes something good happens to you and you want to celebrate with a family dinner at Olive Garden.

What is being demanded from some gaffers here is for NYT to voluntarily stop publishing bad opinions.

Or some personal story of a black dude not being nice to them, which they used to create their whole stereotype about a race. Once I talked to him, broke down his misconceptions and laid down facts, he stops making racist jokes. I know you can't just call them RACIST and hope that works, because you're putting them on the defence. It's not just "hey, you can't say things like that". You've got to get to the root and hear them out. Why do they think that? Find that little story, and make them see the irrationality of blowing up anecdotal experience into a worldview.

GAF scares me sometimes. I'll have to start calling myself a member of the libertarian left even if it makes me sound like a douche bag.
I'm not going to say white people have an exclusivity on racism, but we are kind of the Amazon of racism
People who defending this bullshit should be suspected.

(Not to mention some 60 million other people or so.)
The best part about that being their constant, endless, answer is that even if all of GAF was American and voted straight ticket Democrat, it'd be pretty much noise. There's not even 200,000 members. Unless they were distributed inverse to the rest of the American GOP-voting population they might swing what, a House seat or two?
Also consider 20% or more of the member list is banned.
Sorry man, but in my town we're out there rallying or protesting at least once a week. And my town isn't big.
School through the summer & still trying to figure out strategies to deal with my mental health so I'm not always stuck in last-minute mode. Other than that, commuting had already been a difficult adjustment. I'm stuck on one thing at a time right now. My free time is spent with loved ones right before or after late classes and commuting 1 hour each way. Parents, girlfriend, and friends all wish I that I'd be more available & don't understand why I'm not more available as it is.When things are actually stable? Sure. I have a lot to figure out before then.Edit: I'd be willing to donate though. Just can't gauge time as it is.
is this because i'm a lesbian?

LiquidMetal14hide your water-based mammalsToday, 10:04 AMReal life Swag, I think I've hit a good place 😱So I want to preface this thread by saying that I've been through quite a lot and I guess the result is wanting to talk about some real life stuff and what makes us who we are.Recently as of the last 3 to 4 months I've reached this point in my life that I have total comfort in the way I am and the good that I represent.I realize that this is a forum but I figured that we have plenty of high-level people here who are successful weather financially or through self-discovery, that this would be a good topic of discussion amongst fellow like-minded individuals whether you are male or female.Through a series of events such as hardship, losses, and personal growth through relationships of all types, I finally hit a nice point in my life and I just turned 35.I'm choosing to call it real life swag mainly because it's just a confidence but not arrogance in one's own good-hearted nature.I know what I am.every relationship that I've had particularly with females, none of them hate me. And I'm not going to claim that I've been in tons of relationship because I am very particular and only 1 member on here really knows where my personal stuff and he knows who he is.But knowing what you are and what good is in you to offer to others whether they want it or not, that's a good place to be. By that, I mean that anybody I, cross get a matter of the fact, down-to-earth person who says what he means and means what he says. I really walk the walk.The people that made me this way aren't here anymore so from my perspective the gift that I have is the type of person that I am and I can guarantee you throughout my life, running into hundreds of people, there is not a lot of people that are like-minded and can simply hang with an individual like me who is humorous to the core yet serious when it's absolutely matters.And if you are like me then you probably know that there is some people out there that simply don't believe that you are really what you are. There are cynics out there who think that either you are a bullshiter or somebody who simply is false. It simply isn't my fault that other people have been put through the wringer and are not at a point of Enlightenment to where I need to hold their hand to tell them that they are worthy of something. I guess at the end of the day if what I just put here in this post resonates with you then high five to you because you have it figured out mentally, spiritually, and emotionally enough to be able to give something special to others. And that gift is what you are as an individual which is worth more than any riches out there in this world.If you made it through this thread then kudos to you. You are the kind of individual that I would probably want to talk to because you get it.P.S.Blame Google voice for the typos lolLast edited by LiquidMetal14; Today at 10:11 AM.
LiquidMetal14hide your water-based mammalsToday, 10:14 AMI'd prefer responses with substance please.LOL my goodness. Every thing Chris personally fine. I have a day off and I work for a week straight and I feel really good and this has been something that's been on my mind for the past few months. I'm simply a happy person. I guess it's hard to really read through text because you can't really hear that I'm using my voice to type these messages. I don't hide behind being happy. I just don't shout it to the rooftops. But if you can discern anything then believe me, as a father of three children, one of which has autism, and all the other things that I've been through, I am a perfectly happy working adult it pays my bills and is a responsible adult.
in truth I got quite a laugh at some of the responses. What I would like to say is that I value my free time and don't have time to type all this up.
How do we combat anti-intelecctualism?

Rattatouille. The message about the struggles of artistry and good art coming from unexpected places and people actually made me tear up the first time I saw it. Remy is my little spirit animal.
Ratatouille is Pixar's best, dude.

So I work retail but this definitely isn't the first time I've heard a variation of this joke. Chatting friendly with some old guy about technology and joking how it might actually talk back to you (I tend to yell at my computer, he tells me tell me when it talks back to you). So far it's friendly and amusing.
Then he decides to tell me the variation of the age old women suck joke. This time along hte lines of I used to say it was hard to tell which was worse, women or tech. And I always said women. But these days I'd say tech.
Ok... I'm a women... why does he think I would find that funny? He basically is telling me he thinks I'm the worst. And it always seems to be old men who think I'll find this joke funny.I mean I'd prefer these kind of jokes go away period (not a fan of the female equivalents either but at least then they aren't passively aggressively or at least unthoughtfully aimed at insulting me but assuming I'm in on the joke) but at the very least know your damned audience! Why would a woman find it funny to be telling her how you think woman are the worst?! And this isn't even like this is a one off thing, this is common (I suspect they think I'm , "one of the guys" or something and think it's complimenting that they can tell me this joke, I'm not one of those women that they're talking about. I really don't think they mean anything by it but as I said, I wish these type jokes went away or at least know your audience).
Watch mad men. He grew up in a society where unabashed misogyny was the norm.
So I have a friend who's unbelievably shy. He's had feelings for this girl for around a year and a half, and his inability to ask her out has him worried that she's going to find another guy. They're in numerous classes together, and they spend a lot of time together. She invites him to her house to hang out and watch TV, but he's so shy he just can't make the plunge.I'm making this thread so he gets even more advice than in our chat room, so please be kind. (he's on GAF aswell)
Shame that Mueller wasn't able to execute a warrant on that site before the Russians burned their incriminating evidence after Trump's tip-off. Sad!
I find it suspicious Trump ordered the shut down of this embassy.
sure but, I guess the story here is the fact that the Russians are sort of obviously destroying evidence, burning rather than shredding it. sending a message by itself.
The obsession with novelty is ridiculous.Just because something isn't new doesn't mean it can't be interesting or worth discussing.
Most countries in this situation dont usually have a leader being investigated for working with or being influenced by the country of the closed embassy. I'm not saying that what the Russians are doing in their embassy but context and situation matters. It's not a "somehow" suspicion
