Dharma Curious (he/him)

This leads me to believe you and the other poster get your memes from the same source.

WHAT IS THE SOURCE? WHERE DO I GO TO MAINLINE THE MEMES?

Oh, God, I think I’d blocked that out. Lmao

… I also definitely didn’t think this was Vigo from Ghostbusters when I first saw the OP

Peter, can you explain this to me, please?

Mind if I DM?

I’m not the most familiar with the story, so many I’m remembering wrong. But I googled it to make sure before I posted that.

Hey, fellow Tennesseean anarchist. I lived in Erwin for a while, as well as Kingsport. Closer to Knoxville now. Are you still local?

Unicoi county went for Bernie in the 2016 primaries. It’s a very small town that has gone through a lot of shit trying to claw it’s way out of horrendously bad politics in the 80s and prior. Bumpass cove, where I’m sure some of worst damage was, was the site of nuclear waste dumping, and has been the nucleus of a major swing to the left for a lot of people in the area. Right down the road is Johnson City, a very progressive college town. Dumping on the victims of a disaster because their neighbors, or even they, have shitty politics is a shitty thing to do. Maybe those school kids deserve to get shot because their grandpappy is a Republican? Yes, moments like this should be catalysts for change, but victim blaming isn’t the route to take to that.

I feel like I’m about as computer savvy as most gen z. Born in 91, but we was poor, so it was the family dell (that I wasn’t allowed to do much with*) until 2008, got my first laptop in 2009**, it broke almost immediately because poor and cheap, and then got my first smart phone (T-Mobile G1) in 2010, and basically didn’t touch a laptop again until I started school 2020. I basically started over from scratch at that point, but now I run fedora full time and made myself learn some basic stuff, but I would consider myself pretty tech illiterate.

*Because my brother was caught looking at porn, so computer time was severely cut back. Then I was caught sending sexy messages to someone. And then the final nail in the coffin was when I tried to dual boot it with some Linux distro, I don’t remember, borked it, and we had to wipe the hard drive

**Technically I had a netbook before this, in like 07/08, that I used Wubi to install Ubuntu on, and I loved that. But never got more than browser level into it.

That’s what my Dom calls it, too

Nope. Not me, either. Better leave my prostate alone. Don’t even touch that. nooo, that would be terrible. Whoops, look at that soap there on the floor… Better get that before someone slips…

I don’t remember it too well, but I highly doubt it was handled well at all. On another occasion, I went as an Indian for Halloween one year*, but my parents were working that day, so I went to Awanas (a sort of church thing if you’re not familiar) for a few hours before trick or treating. Turns out, Awanas doesn’t allow costumes, but let me stay. As the only kid in costume. While the rest of them were super smug about not being in costume, and the main church dude spent the whole time talking about how Halloween is evil. No one even mentioned the racist ass costume I was in.

*Yes. With dark make up. I was 9. That was also the last year I ever dressed up for Halloween. My dad still doesn’t fully get why that wasn’t an okay costume. My mom didn’t understand at the time, but does now.

I was also a hobo one year. Maybe we should start vetting kids Halloween costumes. Or at least mine.

Look, Cadassia isn’t the socialist utopia of the federation. After the dominion war, Garak helped with reconstruction, but when he fell on hard times he had to do what he had to do to make a living

Grew up in Virginia in the 90s and early 00s, and black face was definitely something people knew was racist.

However, my foster brother’s elementary school hosted a costume party for thanksgiving one year, where you had to dress as either a pilgrim or an Indian. :/

That’s what I was thinking. Most of the time when I see these black face photos surface the make up is like super patchy, clearly applied as like a last minute goof.

This shit looks professionally done. Look how well it’s done on his hands especially. This took hours and at no point did he think “mayhap, just mayhap, I should consider a different costume, given I clearly have political aspirations”

That’s true. Trouble is I really, really wanted to be a dad. But c’est la vie.

I’ve got all of that already. I’m mainly concerned that I’m not even close to a relationship and kids D:

It’s a start!

That’s all very fascinating, and thank you for clarifying that for everything.

But I need you to shut your lying mouth with that 17 years nonsense. I am 33. I am in way 17 years from 50 years old. Shut up. Shut up and stop talking your heinous lies.

I’m not crying, you’re crying. Shut up
