Outer Richmond?  Ew. Who would ever want to date a man who can walk to the Pacific Ocean every day?

...and the condescension you get if you’re not interested in polyamory. The attitude is like, “Are you from Iowa in 1950?  I’m more advanced than you, and you need to catch up with the times.” The snobbishness about it gets to me. Just leave it at, to each their own.

He might as well be saying, “When white people pretend to be black people, it has nothing to do with race.” Huh? It’s literally entirely about race. That’s the whole point of it.

You had to explain basic due diligence to a high-level administrator.  Sounds like a well-run school!  Yeesh.

There are massive differences between evangelists and Lutherans or Methodists.  I’m tired of this “all sides” crap.

Good for you that you’ve never been subjected to torture.  What you have is the ignorance of privilege.

I once had a homophobic boss who said, (and he’s white), “I’m not homophobic, I have a Mexican wife!”

On a more serious note, I’ve long felt that the concept of “actively gay” is offensive. Bigots tend to focus on the sexual act as the definition of orientation. It’s so much more than that! It’s a state of mind, where you look for support, the meaning behind a hug, holding hands, etc. It’s there 24/7. The “active”…

Gay people are welcome to enter the church. No one is shutting the door in their face.  Nope.  Come on in, go down that hallway to the room where you’ll be tortured.  See, that’s welcoming!

Tangent.  I used to go to a video bar where they routinely selected Rihanna and Chris Brown songs to follow one another, and I had to stop going to the bar.  A lot of people just think it’s all funny.

True, but he’s also “supposed to” follow rules of decorum. Legislators aren’t allowed to use certain language, and they aren’t even allowed to make certain insinuations. People in the US Congress get reprimanded for rudeness that’s less extreme than the word “faggot.”  It will be interesting to see how many…

Fiji Water is a company that shouldn’t even exist, yet somehow they are paying their employees $10,000 an hour.  This world is so fucked.

I actually feel bad for the folks at the medical school who are expected to wave their hands around and look busy while they pretend to do an investigation. He’s denying responsibility while assigning the burden to random people who aren’t involved.

When this happens in developing countries on other continents, our reporters speak with exaggerated language like “warring ethnic factions” and “crimes against sovereignty.” I’d love to hear Zambia’s or Myanmar’s take on the State of Georgia.

From what is described here, the government officials were not aware of any crimes, and there is no evidence of any cover-up.

“Symbiotic” is a generous term. She was plagiarizing her husband. She really has no original thoughts. 

Also this dimwitted comment: “You know, my girlfriend and I were going to travel somewhere but there was a Zika outbreak and it was strange because it was much riskier for her than for me.”

Where do you live? That affects the stat.

(RE: Did the family use the money to advocate for gun control?)

Yeah.  He hasn’t convinced me that airplanes are worse than other forms of public transportation.  Consider hotels and other public accommodations, too.  Germs are everywhere.
