Wonder if they’ll go light on him given how many medals he just won in the Paris Olympics for team USA.

Same for the fish, the cycads, and the ferns. But not the unicorns.

We’re all eating craps on this blessed day.

In your original comment that I responded to, it sounded like you’re making the case that mixed and non-white people should start asking white people those questions as a matter of policy, and not just those times when a specific white person asked first. That’s why I was curious what you thought the effect would be.

That being said, even if you meant that people should only return the question if the white person asked first, that’s something which would just be normal and instinctual for most folks, I would think? Like if someone I’m getting to know asked me my favorite color, I’d probably follow up with the same question after I gave them my answer. So it seemed a bit weird to see a call to action to do something that I would have otherwise thought most people would already be doing (at least in my experience, which I certainly am open to the possibility that my experience is atypical of what racial minorities endure).

And although I am white, and thus I’m certainly coming from a place of privilege, I am a minority (lgbt) and have had my fair share of experience with inappropriate and/or weaponized questions, so I’m not coming from this from a place of complete naivety. I’m certainly aware that sometimes people will ask questions like “are you the boy or the girl in the relationship” from a place of authentic and unintentional ignorance, but that it’s quite often coming from people whose intent is to be derogatory.

Out of curiosity, can you explain what effect you believe this might have?

I am glad to be wrong, but I feel like most white people in the USA wouldn’t be offended or even find that to be a strange question. They’ll just answer it as best they can: Florida, Sacramento, born in Boise but raised in Fairfield. Or if you press about ancestry, most white folks will gladly say French-German, Irish, etc and then maybe even ask you the same thing because they’re genuinely curious and because it’s a natural way for an otherwise polite, as you put it, conversation to steer once the topic has come up. Probably most wouldn’t even recognize if another person were asking that question specifically to make a point about racism/prejudice/etc.

I really doubt that many white people have had these types of questions weaponized against them so unless they are made aware of how offensive it can be or how it betrays their own biases/prejudices (which we all have by the way), they may not even know. I would think that explaining how those questions impact you negatively in a supportive and understanding way will get you much further with most people than being retaliatory or intentionally inflammatory.

Party poopers hate us because they anus.

Accidentally? Could be years or decades. “Accidentally”, it’s probably already happened multiple times, let’s be honest.

And the reward for checking out the official list? Knowledge of such a thing called Gay Awakening Coffee - Drag Bean.

And 30 Helens agree.

I was going to type something mean about her but I’m afraid she could sense I was rude on the internet and telepathically cause my skull to explode like a hard boiled egg in a microwave.

Is this one actually dead or is this another one where the news has jumped the gun?

Do they take regular money or do they make you use credit card? I’m on a fixed income and only deal in cash.

I can’t even go to Walmart no more without running into people I know. Back in the day I never did myself up before going to Walmart because I never saw anybody there that I have acquaintance with. Now everybody is shopping there and I feel like I have to get dressed up or I don’t fit in. Sometimes even put on lipstick and you know how the prices on that has gone up. I’m on a fixed income and the best shade that compliments my skin tone but doesn’t break me out costs almost $10 when it was $6.99 before COVID.

It saves the government and courts (and by extension tax payers) a whole lot of time and money. There’s no need for a normal trial and all the extra crap that comes of that (like appeals). It also removes/reduces the risk(s) of a death penalty sentence (much more expensive than a life sentence), further trauma for the victims as well as their friends and families, and avoids the extremely unlikely but still possible chance that the accused is found not guilty or uses some other legal maneuver to avoid real consequences.

Seems like Maryland governor is a bud.

Gouda for him, though. However Brie his 15 minutes may be, let him enjoy it. 20 gallons over the course is not even all that much. That’s barely more than a gallon a month. If you speak Portuguese, that’s like less than 4 liters. A liter a week of cheese isn’t exactly uncommon. That’s like a few salads, some mac and cheese, a pizza, several cheese quesadillas, a box of Hungry Helper, and some cheese strings, plus cream cheese bagels, and a sprinkle of parm on the pizza. Who hasn’t had one of those types of week before?

I’m in neither boomer nor Gen X, but I remember these style of desks. Hated them.

What about if it’s a sexy lady with an eye that’s lazy, a girl that’s fly with a wonky eye, who’s smoking with an eye that’s broken?

I never bought any, but I was tempted to try the dill pickle flavored ice cream that I saw for sale last year. I found a review of it https://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2023/11/15/van-leeuwen-dill-pickle-ice-cream-review/ that suggests the flavor was actually pretty tasty. It was a seasonal thing or maybe even a one time thing, so perhaps I’ll never have the chance to taste it myself.
