My dad used to disable the motherboard speaker because the noises games made back then were more annoying than fun. We eventually got a soundcard, and that was awesome.
By "they elected Hamas" you mean maybe 15% of the current population? That's a broad brush you're wielding.
(Based on 70% of the population of Gaza being under 30 years old, meaning they'd have been 13 or under in 2006, when the last election was held. And Hamas got ~45% of the popular vote in the 2006 election.)
Congratulations! I'm wicked happy for you, Internet Stranger :) and hope you a smooth recovery.
It always weirds me out that the first school shooting I remember occurred a few bit over a year before Columbine. Heath High School, December 1997.
Hot rich widows in the countryside await your acquaintance. "Triflers need not apply."
Look into textured vegetable protein, too. It doesn't have much taste of its own, but gives a ground-beef-like texture when you add it to pasta sauce. Wicked cheap, when you take into account that it's dehydrated.
Edit: good room temperature shelf life, too.
Even those in heterosexual relationships could be bi.
My understanding:
- you: the person I'm talking to
- y'all: the group of folks I'm talking to
- all y'all: y'all, plus anyone else that could possibly be addressed by me (everyone in voice range)
(Agreeing and using different words to say the what I think is the same thing)
I can't help but feel this is an optimistic view. There's plenty of things everyone has to do in America that are still much more convenient or differently funded in rich or white areas. For example, going to school or getting government ID.
This comment made my Internet today. 🏆
I firmly believe that lack of exposure to people of different cultures or races leads people to be racist and not necessarily realize it. If you're never around X, how can you know you have an inappropriate reaction to X?
To illustrate this, I didn't know about my escalator phobia until I moved away for college. I entered the mall, saw these moving stair-things, and felt a deep fear in the pit of my stomach. I hadn't seen an escalator since I was a toddler and, if you'd asked me on high school, I'd have denied having a phobia.
(I've successfully worked on my phobia over the last decade, showing that changing inappropriate reactions is possible)
