Got_Bent,

Shithead maga bleeding a nonprofit dry example aside, this is a good (albeit extreme) illustration of why I’m generally hesitant to give to any large charity.

You can pull their tax returns up online (form 990) and see where the money goes. Too often, it all goes to executive salaries and marketing with some token single digit percentage going to actual charitable work that may or may not be doing any actual good.

Got_Bent,

Her job is done anyway. It’ll be years before this case can proceed and if Adolf Donnie Trump weasels his way into office, it goes away forever. She’s successfully delayed it into oblivion.

I’m honestly surprised she didn’t just outright dismiss it from the getgo.

Got_Bent,

I don’t think pornhub wants your ID.

I live in Texas and just tested the site to see if anyone has changed. It hasn’t since they essentially shut down here.

It’s a full page statement about Texas politicians.

There’s no option to submit an ID even if a person wanted to do so.

But maybe I’ve misunderstood who “them” is in your comment.

Got_Bent,

I live in Texas

You guys have porn?

Got_Bent,

I prefer my trans sister to be twisted

Got_Bent,

When I was still watching that show, I was perplexed that Democrats would say that’s the world Republicans want and Republicans would say that’s the world Democrats want.

I’m firmly in the former camp and cannot for the life of me figure out how a conservative could agree with the latter.

Got_Bent,

I saw him live about ten years ago.

As per usual, he was about two hours late getting started. Once things got going I counted no fewer than sixty people traipsing about the stage in various stages of undress and demonstrating innumerable methods of erotic dance, including but not limited to a contortionist pimp with a dildo for a nose, all while George sat motionless on a stool in the center.

This went on for at least four hours at which point, we decided to take our leave.

As far as I know, that show is still going, never to conclude.

That shit was weird. Really weird.

Got_Bent,

I think George might transcend spacetime and that it’s possible that both your show and mine are still going on somewhere in a broom closet aboard the mother ship.

Got_Bent,

I found a sample test with 133 questions. I got 126 of them for 94.74%.

There were a few history questions that threw me, specifically related to the federalist papers of which I’ve got scant little memory.

I felt like the rest of it was pretty straightforward. I also think recent divisiveness has made a lot of the questions related to how the federal government is structured a lot easier.

As to your assertion that most natural Americans would fail, I’d flip a coin on that. Maybe? Probably?

Got_Bent,

Assuming most Americans couldn’t pass it, that explains a ton of politician rhetoric. They say things that are functionally impossible, but if the voter Is entirely unaware of how the government is structured and functions, then they’ll eat it up and cast their vote, frequently against their own well being.

Got_Bent,

Next up, mandatory marriage? Like if you’re single past age twenty one or so, you’re criminally charged? Maybe sent as cannon fodder in the colonies?

Got_Bent,

I’ve found myself repatronizing half priced books lately. I’ve gone through five books since mid May.

I was a voracious reader before mobile devices existed.

I’d forgotten just how much more satisfying it is to let yourself go in a good story rather than bicker about minutiae with countless strangers all day every day.

(Sidenote: I’ve been looking up reviews for the books I’ve read and am surprised to find indignation at sexual scenes in novels. Like, if you’ve ever read a John Irving novel in your life, and you’re surprised and offended that the next one has sex in it, you should maybe reconsider your chosen career path)

Got_Bent,

No duck and cover for this Xer, but we did a shiton of stop, drop, and roll. Spontaneous combustion was apparently a big deal in my childhood.

Got_Bent,

Maybe they’d be less antagonistic if the prices were metric

Got_Bent,

I saw a comment on that bastion of reasonable well thought out dialogue, Yahoo, that asserted if Caitlyn Clark were black, she’d be on the team.

To this I questioned where on the roster Angel Reese resides.

The US team is on a streak of what, seven or eight gold medals? I’ll leave it to their organizers as to whom they would like to play.

Got_Bent,

Why are there angry European posts and comments on this every freaking day as if each and every one of us who live under the American system of weights and measurements are personally responsible for implementing and keeping the system?

I’m comfortable in either format.

It doesn’t chafe my balls to talk in metric or to see signs or containers in metric. Why does every god damned European feel like they’re missing out on diaper powder every time an American talks about miles or fahrenheit?

Who hurt you? What damage does this really cause you?

Are there no other fucking issues that matter? We’re gonna blow this whole fucking planet up if Jim Bob in Missouri doesn’t start talking in liters God damnit!

Got_Bent,

The subject in and of itself is just exhausting

Got_Bent,

Every once in a blue moon, I will slam my left foot into an empty space on the floor.

The brake is a right foot pedal, and I’m not sure what models others are speaking of when they say automatic brake pedals are wider. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that.

I think it’s been over twenty years since I’ve driven a manual transmission. I wonder if I could still do it. In my younger years when such cars were still common, it was second nature, but here 'murca, it’s tough to even find one if you want one anymore.

Got_Bent,

The head of Nixon in a jar must be super pissed right about now

Got_Bent,

I keep think that Trump’s the immediate threat but wait until some coagulated cum trickle like Stephen Miller is the candidate.

Got_Bent,

Do you think we can associate that phrase with Google searches for Stephen Miller like they did with Santorum a while ago?

Got_Bent,

Context?

Got_Bent,

Like laws and corruption matter if he gets in. It’ll be nothing more than a country for sale

Got_Bent,

At least they lasted more than 250 years

Got_Bent,

Now I kinda wonder how long Homer Simpson will be relevant. Will historians note him in a hundred years? Two hundred?

Got_Bent,

Teacher: Ok class, it’s time for a quiz

Students: D’ohh!

Got_Bent,

It’ll be voiced by the head of Hank Azaria in a jar

Got_Bent,

At this point in my life, if it comes down it, I’d rather have a cyanide capsule than a gun. I’m too tired to go play leaded candy cosplay.

Got_Bent,

His commissary is gonna be LIT

Got_Bent,

Colorado speaking to Bobo

Got_Bent,

I found this:

Gay Time was produced by Bally Manufacturing Co. in 1955.

Bally Manufacturing Co. released 867 machines in our database under this trade name, starting in 1930. Bally Manufacturing Co. was based in United States.

And a site with a fuller picture of the graphics

pinside.com/pinball/machine/gay-time

Got_Bent,

I literally took a picture of myself holding my nose in the 2016 election. Voted for Hilary. Didn’t want to, but it was by far the better option.

Got_Bent,

Nope. They served him his indictment papers at his eightieth birthday party as convicted criminal Steve Bannon watched.

Got_Bent,

This has GOT to be on the front page of that other site.

Got_Bent,

We all bathe in bacon grease!

Got_Bent,

This explains her sweet dance moves

Got_Bent,

I never could reconcile the old testament God and the new testament Jesus. Like seriously? These two characters are from the same family and claim to have parallel morals?

Got_Bent,

Paul singlehandedly ruined everything. What a dick.

Got_Bent,

For Greg Abbott that might be equally terrifying

Got_Bent,

I have investigated myself and found nothing of note.

Got_Bent,

Land of the free indeed

Got_Bent,

I think that might be an option with at least two of the three

Got_Bent,

Is she the one who was doing that weird hyperventilating rebuttal to the state of the union address?

Got_Bent,

I wouldn’t even be an Uber driver or an airport shuttle driver in Texas the way that law is worded.
