I was hoping your name was Nestor! I’ve always really liked that name. I know it’s Greek but I’ve only ever met two Nestors and they both came from Spanish-speaking countries.

Right. I have never not altered (or translated) my name to make it more pronounceable in whichever country I happened to be living. And it was no big deal to me. But I’m not attached to my name (it gets mispronounced in English, too, a lot — only because there is a more common variant: I don’t correct that, either);

Chadwick needn’t move so far.

I got over this 35 years ago (I’m 40).

Voting for war is something people don’t want on their record for reelection so congress has basically gifted total military power to the president because they are afraid of committing to anything.

Hafa adai! My grandfather was 100% Chamorro as well, and I still have a shitton of relatives in Guam. He served on the USS San Francisco at Pearl Harbor. If anything happens to my family or this beautiful island, I will never forgive any American that voted for Trump. I’ve been explaining to dumbasses ALL GODDAMNED

My entire extended family is on Guam. They’re holding up remarkably well given the threat of nuclear annihilation is literally around the corner.

This wouldn’t be happening if Trump didn’t stoop to their level.

This is like saying, “Surely Obama would have called the fire department after the second floor started burning down.” Sure, but you know what else? Obama probably wouldn’t have soaked the carpets with kerosene and ran around inside the house with a flame thrower going off for funzies either.

I have a strong feeling that if it were Obama, Clinton, or even, as much as I hate everything he stands for, VP Pence, up there, this Guam shit wouldn’t have even come up because none of these people would have vomited out such incendiary rhetoric as the giant-manbaby who can’t go a day without pooping on the floor

Well, the threats aren’t really new I suppose, but the difference is that they’re credible this time. Credible because they have the technology now, and also because the situation is being escalated by the moron US President.

Well except for them threatening to nuke a U.S. territory, or is that something they’ve done before?

Of course it is a line that can’t be ignored but please remember Kim Jong-un only released that Guam shit AFTER Donnie Two-Scoops tried to sound like a big tough guy and declared North Korea will go up in a giant fucking fireball.

Do they test the music before they head out every morning? I feel that’d be important.

F your ice cream truck service. I have 3 different trucks that pass my house- A CUL DE SAC every f-ing day... 3 of them. maybe more since I’m only home on weekdays at 4:30PM. You can’t possibly sell that much ice cream every day on one single street to pay for that. Though $3.00 for a chocolate eclair is outrageous.

It is good to remember that these people don’t want free speech. They want freedom from criticism for themselves.

There is no room for reasoned debate with unreasonable positions. We don’t give Nazis a platform either because just by being able to be there they’re being validated. The constant white american cry “reasoned debate” has resonated across the history of this country. “Well why can’t you be reasonable and accept
