It’s the psychological equivalent of his pissing on your carpet and then demanding that you applaud him.
Leftists should never have been allowed to teach in schools and universities.
Best not to accept any dinner invitations from him.
Full-on fitness.
He need not worry about me, as I will shun him and everyone like him.
Demanding deference to incongruous, fabulist pronouns is an act of hostility, of disdain. It’s an insult to one’s probity. Those who attempt such things might as well be shouting, “I will cow you, make you absurd.”
And regarding the above, sometimes the dynamic is hard to miss.
Oreo vs. Hydrox. Shrug. Amazing that some people will literally rant that one is great while the other is garbage.
Neighbourliness.
Previously.
I’ve read that, for genetic reasons, blacks are far more likely to develop schizophrenia.
Let us not forget those who adamantly believe we need import even more of this, as though there were an impending shortage.
Random Grand Tour moment.
Note the amusement of those watching. As if the ferals whose activities they find so jolly won’t exploit any opportunity to do something similar to them.
John Derbyshire’s advice remains pertinent:
“Demon manifesting.”
Laughed, not sorry, etc.
Scroll down for part two.
Yeah, just another typical fire.
His ‘true self’ needs a slap.
I always listen to demons when I want to know what Jesus said. /sarcasm
Setting aside for a minute the unconvincing notion of a supposedly more glorious “true self,” as opposed to the wearying shitfest we can see, you have to wonder why these true selves are so generic and predictable, so weirdly, tediously uniform.
An eighties “Super Group” formed by the merger of Bananarama and Bread, it was destined for failure. Reason?
No matter how you slice It, it lacked ap-peal.
[ Heads for alley door to retrieve burning jacket ]
I’m curious to know which branch of medicine he will practise.
[ Rushes ahead to throw more petrol on the fire. ]
[ Hands out matches, cigarette lighters. A crowd gathers. ]
Note this bit:
And he cannot consider that maybe his behavior might be the problem.
Thus it is that the trans activist movement turns out to be almost entirely (1) crazy people, and (2) opportunistic leftists.
“Steve went that way.”
So, he’s hidin’ in the stove.
For readers with a liking for crime statistics and the debunking of common myths:
There’s much more, with charts and citations and things of that kind.
[ Amuses self by watching videos of Americans trying English mustard – say, by spreading it like cream cheese onto a ham sandwich. ]
I’m seeing a lot of ruddiness and sweating.
[ Muffled cackling. ]
Along those lines, there’s this.
Just change the terminology. Theft becomes “taking property without right,” which has increased by 500% while theft has fallen. Someone in the comments says murder becomes, “unlicensed manufacture of a cadaver.”
I remember warning my father-in-law to go lightly on the Colman’s one Easter. He had to leave the table for a while to recover.
I would not object to them moving there permanently.
Bookmark. The Bronx, of course.
Just getting ready for the weekend.
This is grounds for a “take no prisoners” policy.
I’m seeing a lot of ruddiness and sweating.
God, I LOVE Coleman’s.
Really?
Ouch. At some point doesn’t electrolysis make sense?
@David, is there a place for this parrot behind the bar?
OK, we keep hearing that the enemy is Zionism, not Jews, and yet people who support Palestine in the war have no problem hating or attacking Jews in Europe and America.
What’s up with that?
THAT MOVIE WAS ALREADY PERFECT WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU FREAKS THINKING???
Well, @David, do you know the colors of the flag?
God, I LOVE Coleman’s.
That reminds me I have some of the dry stuff and it might jazz up this chicken salad I just made.
Does Colman’s go well with pork pies?
It’s as if nobody is at the helm.
A Russian. Dead drunk, I assume.
Stop wrestling with criminals and start kicking them in the teeth.
Yeah, what is all this bullshit about “the center”? The “center” has been enthusiastically cancelling and demonizing dissenters for a long time.
…WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU FREAKS THINKING???
I was being sarcastic, though I can see either making a film of the freak who “married” AI Luigi Mangione.
Does Colman’s go well with pork pies?
It is excellent with Festive Bento Turkey and SelfRollingLintNutz©.
Yes. By the time some perp is sent to prison (rather than jail time) the majority have raps sheets that run 5 pages and up. I’ve run CLETS in CA upwards of 10K times and those arrested on their first felony charges who only have 1 or 2 misdemeanors are as rare as hen’s teeth.
And every time I tell someone outside the criminal justice system this, I get to see a face that is either incredulous or gobsmacked. I always urge people to 1) never skip jury duty 2) Do ride-alongs with your local PD and/or 3) go through the process so you can volunteer at your local DA office
