I don’t. But the name was declared too hard to deal with by the Chinese teachers at the school who asked me to allow nicknames so I ran with it (it was something like “we’re trying to teach the kids Engish so we don’t want them skipping on one American L but having to pronounce the others but your name is too…

Hell, my normal, popular American name was considered utterly unpronounceable in China due to having too many syllables, an l (that is, an American l, most Asian countries pronounce the letter very differently), and a v. I had about five different nicknames depending on who was speaking to me, including Tza (formerly…

1: To be fair to Kasich, he just knew he seems sleezy enough to be a music producer because the mistake has been made before.

Most vapers I’ve met in CA have been that was but in FL...yeesh could they get weird. I worked in food service for half of one summer and this one really obnoxious girl found out that vaping did not equal smoking in regards to what you could do around food prep. So whenever thins were slow she’s duck away from the…

Go check out We Hunted the Mammoth—they collect a ton of the worst of MRA ramblings to peruse. Sexbots are a common topic. Also they fear a future tax on single men, a future tax for being a white man, the 13-inch dick of some man named Tyrone that all the ladies want (they bring this up a lot...), women being fat,…

I would likewise say that men who blame women for their being single and/or virgins are precisely the men who SHOULD remain single and/or virgins.

Trust me, they are waiting for sex robots. They are certain it will “make women obsolete” (frequent quote on MRA boards). They are sure women will rage and rage that men no longer “need” them since the sexbot will do everything sexy. None of them ever seem to think women might want their own sexbots or anything...it’s…

I use the words of Confederate Col. John Mosbey, aka the Gray Ghost, myself. He hated the myth of it being about states’ rights, and how that cropped up almost as soon as the war was over. Here’s something from him (emphasis mine).

I always want to sic my eighth grade teacher on teachers like that. Dude was a civil was nut and reenactor (he was in Jackson’s cavalry in Gods and Generals) and god help you if you tried to pull that pull with him. Since we were in the bible belt area of FL there were quite a few who tried to argue. Dude outright…

She did shows on Disney, most notably the actually pretty good “Sonny with a Chance” that they had to totally rework once she went to rehab. Also a singer.

Same here. I just generally prefer their games and so a Nintendo console is a better investment for me than an Xbox or PlayStation.

This is all very true. The only places I tend to have any kind of brand loyalty are food (I have insanely over-senstitve taste buds can can tell the difference between brands for a lot of things, like butter, sauces, and macaroni and cheese) and Nintendo (becuase I prefer their games, not becuase their systems are…

My issues are more logistical in that it’s 1) often applied wrongly, 2) it’s applied nonsensically like here, here the actual murder has a lighter sentence becuase of a plea deal, and 3) it costs more anyway. Thing’s more trouble than it’s worth. I’m aware 1 and 2 can also be moral issue but I’m not sure where I stand…

A Let’s Player played one of my levels and advertised the code a couple days ago. It was cool seeing the boosted traffic.

Agreed. My school was white, black, and golden yellow, but generally you could wear any yellow that wasn’t neon and be fine.

Agreed. My family is pretty much spread all over the east coast, though sometimes someone ends up moving closer instead of farther away (my cousin going to NYC for work put him closer to my great aunt, for example), which meant everyone was initially nervous that I’m now going to grad school out in California since we…

My aunt had a stroke from similar “all natural” “herbal cure” green tea from China. Thank god one of my cousins was home and got her to the hospital once she noticed her acting off. But she got amnesia from it and lost a few years, meaning they had to explain to her that both my granddad and her beloved poodle had…

Maybe that was his goal. Avert his party looking like asshats and tanking any chance of a GOP prez in 2016 by saying “I’ll leave if you pass a spending bill, okay?” Pretty good ‘thinking of the party’ poltics if it works.

My cousins often use a nickname I tried out but discarded in middle school. And one of my aunts uses a nickname I have never used but she just came up with. At least it’s just a letter, tho. It means I sometimes get confused about wherer or not they mean me.

Yep. At my high school Alfredo weny by Anthony becuase he was sick of pasta jokes by sixth grade.
