Exposing your junk to a bush in the back corner of a lot used by a school district for storage will get you on a sex offender registry, so I fully expect these Fuckwads to be slapped with sex offender charges, put on the registry, and branded as child molesters for the rest of their lives.

I stopped being "Proud to be an American" when I started learning more than my Christian republican parents or Bible belt education system taught me.

While nothing that came before I was born was my fault, it's certainly nothing to be proud of, and nothing that has been happening since has been much better.

Sure, we haven't directly been carrying out genocide, but we sure support it! With the very arms used to carry it out, and intelligence support, and so on.

We haven't been enslaving huge swatches of people for arbitrary traits, but we sure do enslave imprisoned people which also due to socioeconomic reasons and good old fashioned racism also happen to be a large percentage of people with aforementioned arbitrary trait.

We may not have been openly declaring war on everyone, but we sure do like to interfere with special military operations and sabotage. Yesterday's supported insurgencies are tomorrow's enemies who have every reason to hate us.

Saying you're "Proud to be an American" today is a flashing neon sign that says "I'm a racist piece of shit who hates everyone who isn't exactly like me"

Just a thought experiment, how sink-proof are these things?

If someone were to build a homemade submarine with a drill, how many holes would one have to theoretically drill to make a yatch sink?

Bastards and pieces of shit.

        I have to sort my books!’ she cried,

    With self-indulgent glee;

    With senseless, narcissistic pride:

    ‘I’m just so OCD!’

    ‘How random, guys!’ I smiled and said,

    Then left without a peep -

    And washed my hands until they bled,

    And cried myself to sleep.

if you want to be a REAL artists you have to accept emotional and verbal abuse from people who are supposedly helping you, and you will ENJOY IT and this is NORMAL

Yeah, but so are 40%, by their own admission.

Well, you're certainly entitled to your (wrong) opinion!

Lol it's not for everyone, especially if you started out with goldeneye. A lot of people I play with don't have the same appreciation for it, and that's okay.

And yeah, it's so cheesy, it makes people spontaneously develop lactose intolerance.

But much like the movie Evolution, I don't love it because it's groundbreaking and iconic to its genre. It's fun for me.

They’re going to come for FIFA’s club games, or they’re going to come for the World Cup, or they’re going to come for the Olympics, come and see sporting events

Nobody's coming anymore, nobody wants to risk being thrown in a concentration camp because they aren't white and rich and supporting Trump enough.

Getting ANYONE who isn't already actively trying to reduce their own vehicle usage or doesn't use primarily mass transit to pay attention to how much space has been given up for cars is like pulling teeth from a stone.

Even people who have never had a car seem to think cars are the only thing to use.

Getting anyone to even acknowledge the complete lack of travel infrastructure around my area is hard. There are few sidewalks outside the downtown area and a few surrounding residential areas. There are no sidewalks connecting downtown being 4 intersections.

There are two bike lanes that total about 1.5mi, marked on the shoulder of a street as an afterthought, and no penalties for parking in it.

Some of the roads around here don't even have enough shoulder to allow two semi trucks to pass, let alone two cars and a bike.

I'm contemplating making a sign for my bike trailer that says "IF YOU ARE ANNOYED I'M HERE, TELL YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL TO BUILD A BIKE PATH"

I have started saying "bike path" instead of "bike lane" when talking to most people since they get offended at the mere thought of "losing a lane" to cyclists.

I've also thought about making a sign that says "rider is armed and carries a brick" since people literally throw things at me and some have even gotten out of their cars to scream at me.

Just for that, I'm going to NOT use my car when I was otherwise planning to.

I mean, I pretty much only drive now when my destination is too far to bike, but I've biked to other states before, I can do it again.

If you want to reenact it, I won't complain.

Heck, I might even go crazy and golf clap a bit.

Actual infrastructure dedicated for bicycles and other mobility options would nearly eliminate the "speed difference" issue in most cases.

A nearby city is ripping up one side of their main street and finally putting a physical barrier between the cars and the bikes.

Before it was just a painted line that got completely ignored, then it was the occasional traffic cone which kept getting stolen, then they tried those plastic bollards that are just hollow plastic, which just got run over.

It only took 3 deaths that I know of and countless children being injured.

So just like.... Every other day, but the floor is actually lava.

That's actually a common misconception.

It's not because Japanese ninjas are bad at being ninjas, it's just that other countries ninjas are completely invisible to the naked eye.

Obviously we all know we can see our own country's ninjas, but other countries are invisible.

Thanks to years of cultural import/export, most humans can naturally see Japanese ninjas.

So congrats, if you can see a Japanese ninja, you're actually just close to being a weeb.

But the economy has never been stronger!

Of course it's held together by billionaires in bunkers trading stocks in companies that no longer exist, and they only have their food storage remaining until they all die, but hey.... The economy!

The future we are barreling towards:

Less money on social programs

How dare you, they would never lower them even more than they have been!

They would maintain the status quo, and in 3 years open up an inquiry as to whether a committee could be established to contemplate on the possibility of maybe increasing their budgets by 0.00001% over the next 100 years (which can be canceled at any time for no reason)

Then sit back and pat themselves on the back for being such a man/woman of the people.

And then if you don't have a/c, you get blessed with DoT reducing to only -1hp/min instead of -1hp/sec.

Why not just tattoo a number on their arm?

I'm sure there's no possibility that subdermal trackers would ever be used in shitty ways.

At least my parents church has the decency to give first time visitors a free 6oz cup of coffee.

I decided a long time ago that if I ever walk in and don't recognize anyone, and someone thinks I'm a visitor who didn't grow up there, I'm going to start quoting Bible verses about how selling shit inside the church is wrong and I would be channeling the righteous anger of Jesus himself if I flipped all their tables and whipped them.

Unfortunately despite the fact that I have been there twice in 10 years, people still recognize me.
