You think writers on this site went to high school in NYC? Lol.

Apparently the guy purposely made all of his online social media paint him as a liberal so they’d blame the left and antifa to ramp tensions up. And the media, predictably, took the bait. He was a /pol/ 4chan misfit like all the other ones.

Thank you. Futzing around is not a substitute for fucking around.

I starting losing my hair in high school (great for buying beer, terrible for self-confidence). I’m 48 now, and honestly say that I like being bald - except for the sunscreen I have to lather on in the warm months.

Yeah, I think it’s a matter of degree. “Futzing” with something implies one is tinkering in a certain deliberate, if technically ignorant, way. “Fucking” with something on the other hand suggests a much more careless/reckless manner. Grandpa spends the afternoon futzing with things in his workshop while sucking on a…

What can’t be lost is that this was a proper use of “futz.” And there is never a bad time to use an appropriate Yiddish or Yiddish-derived word.

Isn’t “futzing” a completely separate word? It’s like “fiddle” and “finagle”: they mean to haphazardly mess with something. Yes, “fuck” can be that too, but fuck is also the most versatile word ever so it almost doesn’t count.

I said once that I treat nose/ear hairs with the same policy as spiders - I will not seek you out in your dark places and hunt you down, but if you come into the light I will strike without mercy.

Futz is a word. It isn't a derivative of fuck.

Is it only racism when POCs are the target?

I’m sorry are you... are you looking for someone to tell you “they’re just as racist as you are”? I’m confused as to what moral high ground you’re trying to eke out here.

I love Ruth Reichl’s books. Tender At The Bone, Comfort Me With Apples and Garlic and Sapphires were extraordinary and honest and delicious.  I didn’t know about Save Me The Plums, that just became my new entry at the top of my reading list.  

I. Am. So. Tired.

That . . . honestly felt like it was a pretty reasonable use of force. He attempted to control the situation, at every point he used the minimum amount of force he could, and he warned before he escalated.

The way she rolls around for a second like she’s on a rotisserie or something. All she needs is an apple in her mouth and its a luau.

Telling a cop “I don’t think that I deserve to pay this ticket!” is a dick move, and not very smart. Society has gotten to the point where plenty of people think a cop is a dick for pulling them over doing 75 in a 60mph zone, but why is a cop a dick for doing their job when you know damn well you were breaking the law?

“I don’t think that I deserve to pay $80 for something that is fixable and I can fix it.”

Not well-informed, not levelheaded. Cool. 

Given that ancient Rome was the first materialistic superpower, it would be oddly fitting if it were allowed. The Romans certainly crowded it with fast food outlets, maybe if McDs were to have a McPickled Dormouse Nose?
