The one from the 1930s or the one on Broadway?
There was one guy like that in my old neighborhood. He lived near a busy road and decorated his skeleton for other holidays, like a red beard and green hat for St Patrick's day. I liked it, but if I had a whole neighborhood of them that would get old fast.
Unbelievable. Is there a term for this yet- a creator being cancelled from their own fandom?
I will read any and all posts bitching about reddit. I started my account in 2011 and it's a tragedy to see how far it's fallen. Just recently I found a support-group type sub and wanted to join, but I was denied because I commented a handful of times in the "hate group" The Donald...like 4 years ago now? Fuck me for wrong think.
LUE was my first message board. It's crazy to think that 20 years have passed.
The article also mentions that he wrote a story about killing a local businesswoman and assuming her identity. So maybe he was afraid of what would happen if the depths of his depravity were made public.
RIP Caiques and Ahnigas
But the Encanto lead was a chubby girl with glasses?
I forgot all about these! Saved me on many a long car ride. Thanks for the memories
The only people who think Disney represents the state are perpetual children or tourists
Yes, I struggle with this a lot. As a parent, I feel like the world I grew up in is gone and it makes me sad for my kids. My first reaction is to think that certain groups are to blame, then I become angry, when in reality we are all victims of sin and the consequences of living in a fallen world that rejects Christ. "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold." Matthew 24:12. But we have a Saviour. If Saul, Nebukaneezer, and the people of Ninevah can be redeemed, there is hope for us all.
There are many stories of reformed homosexuals but they get buried for being wrong think. Recently I listened to the story of Josh Christmas who (in summary) didn't have his father in his life and had no male friends/peers, so he basically got all mixed up. But he went on to have a family and died recently from a brain hemorrhage (RIP). Testimony here, it was eye-opening for me because I've been very angry towards the rainbow crowd for what they're doing to society but this helped me have another, more compassionate perspective https://youtu.be/wnTY8szGcVE
Reminiscent of teens not liking their body changes from puberty, or Autists being coerced, or porn-sick males getting autogynophylia and then go trans. Then let's not forget the Munchausen moms and their poor little boys. I'm seriously doubting "born this way".
Dating apps only put you down in touch with desperate people who misrepresent themselves. You'll have better luck meeting someone IRL while engaged in a hobby/activity. Mutual attraction is half the battle and even the hottest girl in pictures online could be a dud IRL even if they look as advertised. I wasted years on dating apps and going to bars, then gave up and just spent my free time doing things I enjoyed. Met my spouse at a concert and we're now brewing child #3.
And he doesn't even make fun of Biden, his spiel is still bashing Trump.
I found this clip of Jim Carrey as Biden on SNL, but he incorporates the baphomet hand sign into his "LOSER" schtick. I don't think he'll be making any worse jabs his against fellow "club" member anytime soon.
Honestly, I don't know if I can read this. I don't want to hear anyone shit on Webb's.
They should tour the back alleys, I hear they used to grow the peppers there. Make sure you capture every moment on your $1k phone.
Yeah, it's a mixed bag. On one hand, the city did take over properties for the interstates, Tropicana, and the hospitals and what was left started to disappear in the late 2000s to make way for private development. But they did that to everyone that didn't push back. My grandparents house was demolished in Tampa. The old orange growers say the government infected their groves with blight so the trees would fail, they'd lose agricultural tax exemption, and be forced to sell. This really happened and we have heard stories of men in suits with briefcases lurking around groves at night.
Normally ai would agree with you but in this case, those areas in St Pete, and other places in Florida and around the South were established as black communities. Pinellas county was very agricultural at one point, lots of orange groves and cattle ranchers (who were the real Crackers, a name that is now a slur). A lot of shipping and rail came through. Big hotels like The Vinoy and The Detroit were built, and all these industries needed workers. Black people were historically in agriculture, labor, and service before the elites told them those jobs were beneath them...which displaced them and led to our current state with increased crime, violence, etc.
It is one of those historic black neighborhoods that got decimated to make way for the interstates, hospitals, ball field, and apartment buildings that transport, house and entertain all the wealthy white liberals who moved in. It was nice once, but became industrial and crime-ridden when eminent domain bulldozed all those people's 100 year old houses. The people who live there did not forget their history, and typically hate white liberal do-gooders like the tour guide in question. People like her have been coming in for years with promises of help and revitalization only for things to get worse.
So yeah, bad move.

If I didn't already make this clear, that is one DUMB ASS bitch

Sounds like your typical uppity yankee, coming in and telling YOU what your local history is. But no worries, if she keeps sticking her nose in other people's areas and making a spectacle of herself in Campbell Park, she'll pay the toll soon enough.
You're welcome. The subject is dear to my heart, because of course I went through a lifetime of being the odd one out, with no one to share enthusiasm in my interests. Then by most men's standards, me being single still at 33 meant I was all dried out and no good to anyone. Might as well give up and join a convent. Yet here I am with my husband and a third child on the way.
Disappointment and loneliness really weigh on you. I'll tell you what helped even more than the concert. A few weeks beforehand, I was really down on myself for being single at 33. I thought it was too late for me and maybe I was destined for a solo life. So I prayed to God (which was new for me at the time) and said "God, I really want to be a wife and mother for someone but if that is not in your plans for me than I accept that". I gave up this dream to Him, and vowed to try to accept my situation.
Then I realized that if I was going to be single, I was going to be my own boyfriend. So I adopted a mentality of being loving and caring to myself. "DrinkCovfefe, what would you like to do this weekend?" I would say, then do the things that made me happy without feeling guilty or silly, like I should be doing something else, being more productive or trying to make myself and my home "better".
That's what led me to the concert, I was taking myself out for a night on the town. And I was having a great time by myself, as we only children can do, being good at entertaining ourselves. So it was really the mentality of caring for myself as I normally would do for a partner, that brought me out and put the smile on my face that attracted my husband.
It must be hard with everything closed down, and having your favorite pub turn into a homeless shelter really sucks. But you know when someone is comfortable with themselves, it shows, and people flock to you. Who knows, maybe you will be stuck in line somewhere and a cute girl will stand behind you wearing a shirt from that obscure thing you like. Don't give into the gloom, my friend!
That's good. Keep your eyes and ears open, my friend. Knowing that this is a war is half the battle, it means you haven't been hardened of heart.
You ain't kidding
