  • I disagree with your stance on the presidential ballot but I respect your position. You aren’t any more responsible for Trump’s actions than I would be for Kamala’s. There was no one on the ballot (who could win) who was going to do anything about Gaza. For me that meant moving on to other issues. Nothing I did in that voting booth would do Palestinians any immediate good, but there were other differences between the candidates and I cast my vote on the basis of things I could affect.

    But at the end of the day you and I want the same things. Why fight you when the real enemies are so clear? Even if you don’t vote for the President, you’re still voting for Congress and the Senate and that is crucial, too. Truth is Trump wouldn’t be a problem if he didn’t control the whole shebang. Mate, I appreciate everyone who filled out a ballot to make themselves heard.

    Graduated in 91. Can’t confirm first time for anyone but me and one girlfriend but I will confirm we were getting laid. I was almost 15 and she had recently turned 15. Can also confirm post virginity high school sex with another girl. I really only had two serious girlfriends in high school. I had a few other near misses but I don’t recall any others that sealed the deal off the top of my head. I wasn’t swimming in it, but I did pretty well for a nerd with self-confidence issues.







  • I was going to tell one of those “two white guys and a black guy” jokes from my youth here with immigration in place of St. Peter administering one final test, but that’s a lot of fucking work to tell a joke that has been in circulation for 50 years. So I go to look it up to copy/paste and I find out the joke is based on actual Jim Crow laws preventing black people from voting with literacy tests.

    Anyway, the punchline is “Spell chrysanthemum.” I’m sure you can work backward to figure out the rest of the joke and how it relates.
