AFAIK you’re both right: “serving” and “giving” came out of the drag ball culture of the 1980s in NYC, which was (at least in terms of driving the culture) primarily Black and Latin. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I’m pretty sure you hear “it’s giving” a few times in the documentary Paris is Burning.

I hope anyone who balks at anti-cop rhetoric is paying attention. “I may not agree with the laws, but I will follow them” is EXACTLY why no minorities should trust the police. Officer Andy may be friendly today, he may even “care,” but if the law changes tomorrow, Officer Andy will beat your head in without a second…

It’s definitely filtered through a cultural lens. Moving to the UK, it took me about a year to get comfortable with the word, and a much shorter time to strike it from my vocab once I moved back to the states.

I see one of these comments on literally every article where it could tangentially apply. Do you people just never take risks? Do you never ever take any action without reading the EULA or analyzing every single angle?

Wow, you need to calm the fuck down.

This, so much.

Losing coherence mid-sentence is literally the defining feature of Trump’s speaking “style.” The mental gymnastics on his followers are next-level.

One of the few celeb couples I can think of where I’m into both people equally.

The rights for trans people to fucking exist, as they have throughout history. The right to SAY THE WORD GAY. The right to teach the actual history of this racist fucking country.

I’m not a doctor, but I am the posterperson for ADHD, and the way you describe your inner monologue is both intensely relatable and (according to what I’ve been told by multiple doctors) an indicator of my own ADHD.

It is, and it’s what they spent almost the entire 6 years doing (or at least, that’s my hunch after more than a decade of programming).

Keep licking that boot

Oh honey, as if a single thing you say could ever hurt my feelings. Get a new hobby.

The first page is also a rephrasing of the “negative peace” part of Dr. King’s speech at Birmingham Jail.

Get’em Muck.

Oh no, the poor hypercapitalist asshat trying to become the Bob Iger of gaming make a sad face and go boooo.

And you're a pathetic fucking child. Go fuck yourself, no one else ever should.

Nearly as pathetic as you not actually reading what people are saying, instead reacting to anyone disliking something you like as though it gives you some kind of superiority.

Thats a phenomenally bad take. Video games are hard to make because they are the one medium which requires interaction from each consumer, with the added bonus that that interaction must be fun.

BMI has been known to be a bullshit metric for over a decade, so forgive me if I don’t treat your citation as authoritative.
