It was more like when you move out and are on your own.

My folks were hippies. Did the woodstock thing and all. I grew up around them smoking pot at parties and stuff. When Nancy Reagan told us all it was bad my parents told me she was full of shit, that smoking dope sometimes was as ok as drinking a few beers and that when I moved out of the house I was free to do what I wanted.

As for sex, pretty much the same thing. Wrap your willie, wait till you're an adult, and don't do it here.

I'm as honest with my kids about drugs now.

Yes he did. I'd lay a hefty bet that he rehearsed it. Immigrant and the n-word aren't close enough to flub. Impregnate and Immigrant? Sure. And you can see him smirk. He's wanted to say this for a long, long time.

And bottomless red wine glasses.

Lace codes (and brace or strap codes I'm reminded above) are largely dead now. It started letting up when it was discovered how dope blue Docs looked with red laces.

See? The system works!

Hitting a guy with an ax handle. There's not a lot of nuance or grace in it.

Back a few lifetimes ago in this area it was anti-gay.

Yeah, absolutely. It's's an old Skinhead/Bonehead thing. You'd rock different colors to say what you sort of believed. Red was neo-nazi, white was klan or white power, blue I think was pro cop, yellow was anti-gay, green was something bad but I don't remember what, may be you robbed everyone. This was kind of nationwide but varied by area somewhat. Like blue could mean pro cop or anticop. This was way before think blue line stuff.

So growing up you'd see a bunch of bone heads strutting around with white laces and you'd know they were all racist shiteaters.

Mostly I think it was a way for skins to decide who to fight. Like I say, I was a punk, so not as much into fighting for fun like most skins were. I just ran with some because being a skater and a punk then was a little harder if you got caught alone. And having friends that liked to fight was just good sense.

I'm 52 now so I don't punch anyone anymore. But back in the mid '80s to early '90s I was one of a few skatepunks that ran around with some ofe the local Unity Skins. We did a fair bit of nazi punching (and ax handling). This was toward the end of lace codes and wearing patches on bomber jackets. I'm not sure we changed anyone's mind but for a few years, no one was rocking confederate flags or white laces in the open. But I'm just some random guy online so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

(White, red, and yellow laces still give me pause. My teen came home one day wearing yellow laces and we had to have a talk. After some fact checking, and him explaining some stuff, I let it go and got a pair of yellows for my boots. Funny how things change over time and areas).

To be fair, any technology you don't understand can be mistaken for magic. In this case that technology is coherence.

I did once. I called my boss and just said I was in too good a mood to come in and I'll see you tomorrow. It worked.

You're right. His replacement could rally the enitre gop, not just the mouthbreathers.

He needs to lose though. 1, it'll be funny to see but more importantly 2, if he drops out they have a chance to put someone just as repugnant but way more savy and intelligent into the race.

I'd bet dollars to donuts it was planned. They're all about views, sponsors, and subs. The "info" they publish is hack at best. They're entertaining at times but it's just that, entertainment, not tech news.

No way this wasn't calculated by LTT.

Yesterday's Post (8/29)

You're not wrong but I was speaking more generally.

There's a whole other 50% in the buildings that didn't.

"Musician" is a big word for that dude.

"Could"? Sure. "Should"? Probably. "Will"? No chance. Have you not been paying attention?

Maybe? Probably? I think maybe op here was saying we can learn prejudice. Like if a dude with a beard and sport sunglasses rants racist shit at me, then another guy with a beard and shiny orange sunglasses does the same thing, then 2 more bearded guys in John Deere hats and mirrored sunglasses do it, maybe I start getting twitchy around dudes with facial hair and a predilection for expensive eyewear.

It was almost as good as the first two. It was so fun, scary, and familiar. There were a handful of fan service things (shots, lines, props....) that felt like actual fan service and not nostalgia boner bullshit.

I've only seen them both once. Though after seeing Romulus, I'm going to go back and watch all the movies again. I'm a pretty big fan of the rest of the movies to varying degrees. My thoughts were that outside of the Alien universe they could be OK scifi movies. But as part of the Alien lore, I felt they were poorly told, felt rushed, and didn't feel consistent with the others. Having the xenomorphs designed felt like a cheap shot. The alien in the first one was scary as hell because it evolved as a perfect hunter. All it did was eat and breed, and neither of those things were less than nightmarish. It felt like Scott was trying to tell a bigger story than the series needed and really got away from O'Bannon's vision (the same can be said about 3 and 4. I'd still argue that they felt like the same universe though)

Like I say though, I've only seen them once, and it's been a while.

My sarcasm is obvious but you still missed the point. This is just as valid an argument as the knuckledraggers will come up with. That is to say, not valid. This has nothing to do with free speech or any amendment. This is as hollow a take as anything the bearded, athletic sunglasses wearing mouth breathers come up with as evidenced by my parenthetical comment. I'm going to upvote your comment because this isn't reddit and we should encourage discussion, not downvote opinions we don't agree with or understand.

What a great example of free speech. A radio station has decided what they want aired and what they determine as appropriate and are allowed to take action to achieve that. They have the right to free speech and use that to hire and fire anyone they want as an exercise in that right. They won't be made to allow what they consider objectionable opinions to be broadcast on their platform. Free speech in action. (Inb4 "muh 1st ammemunt rites".)

Bob bless America.

I have a big Veto bag. It was a gift from one of my bosses. I'd never have bought one (though I have occidental bags and am not afraid to spend money on tools) but god damn, it is a fine piece of gear. If it ever wears out, I'd deff buy a new one.

This isn't the real RFK Jr. The real one is being held captive. The imposter is trying to drop out and support trump. But the real one will be released upon winning the election and will then be sitting president. Keep the faith, spread the word, and vote RFK Jr! Don't believe the lies.

I worked with a guy that would spend his entire paycheck on the lotto when I got big because he knew it was true that he'd win it. His gut told him it was true. It's been 10 years since I've seen him. Last time I did it was just after they announced the winning numbers for like $25Mil. He was standing on a corner being for change so he could buy food.

Breathing pure oxygen can kill you. If you want to preserve your pure bloodlines, it's best to not take vaxs and even better if you get a nitrogen tank and breath just that. It'll clean up the gene pool really fast.

Yeah, I grew up in the same era. A lot of Kill a Commie for Mommy shit left over from the '60s too. Remember Red Dawn?

Reagans non-policy on aids is a major reason I'm where I am politically now. I watched a few neighbors and family friends suffer and die in silence because of him. The worship that guy got from the gop was always a mystery to me but even just a few years ago I've been told he was the Greatest Ever President. But these same people are all over putins dick. It makes no sense.

I've never gone through this exactly but have had stints of prolonged pain. I really hate painkillers. I try to meditate. I try to remove my self from the pain and see it externally. Not make it disappear, just see it as separate from myself. And I try to focus on the temporary nature of it. It will pass. In time, I won't even remember how intense it was. The memory will be there, but not the detail.

Meanwhile, in hell, Satan has cured Ronald Reagan of his dementia so he can watch his party gargle Putins balls.

I've been divorced. It sucks. But it sucks way less than being trapped in a loveless, bitter relationship for far too long. Like the other poster says, get in therapy and work out what You want. Big change is scary and hard. Having to adjust to things we truly believed were settled is a motherfucker.

This is opinion, but it seems to me that teaching your daughter that making changes, even when they're hard, is important and dealing with big feelings should come first. At the end of the day, is it better for her to be loved in two houses or see the resentment build in one? For me, it was more important that my son be loved and feel safe in two homes. Teaching him to stay in a relationship because it was "easy" seemd wrong. Again, that's an opinion, not an objective truth.

But it isn't broken. It's working perfectly and exactly the way it's desiged to. It doesn't need fixing. It needs replacing.

Cayce Pollard does not like this post.

Nope. East coast.

If you want a tattoo, or several, it'll sort of decide for you. Like go into a shop, meet some artists, look through their portfolios. Something will jump out at you and the pain will work itself out. Really, meet the artists. You want someone you vibe with. You're going to be in an intimate relationship with them. And you don't want some nut-jobs mojo getting in your skin.

Everyone feels tattoos different. My worst were my elbows, center of my sternum, and by far the worst, my inner wrist. My buddy had real problems getting his palm done but mine just felt weird. I've heard ribs are torture but mine were OK. The top of my foot was brutal, my friend (different dude) said he almost didn't feel his. Keeping clean, follow whatever after-care that particular artist says to do until you learn your body and have experience on how you personally heal. And after it's healed, sunscreen.

Also, try to remember, tattoos aren't a static piece, they're dynamic. They change over time and you wear them in. They're like a good pair of jeans, they reflect wear and tear. They can fade a bit, they can get a little muted. This is part of the beauty. They aren't stickers.

Same car! I covered her with stickers and vinyls. Her name is Lydia the Tattooed Subie.
