The capitalization issue seems really silly. Why do I have a feeling that many of the same people pushing for Black to be capitalized are the same people who say race isn't real?
As far as this being a reason, it's even worse: "For many people, Black reflects a shared sense of identity and community."
I guess we're also soon going to be seeing Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans with capitalized (but not straight).
Where do we lobby for other identities and communities to be capitalized? Let's do it, fellow Poker Players!
Let's do it,
Oh look who decided to come and play.
Only took about 2 years of goading you. Welcome.
First to 11?
Browser:1 d3-f4:0
Browser 2. d6-y4 0
Browser 3. d5-s4. 0
Sure. But I think it's 3-0 right now 😀
I'll give you the 3. Stipulated.
The zero is a harder number to swallow.
That's what she said
Browser,
Eventually, you wlil discover, to your chagrin, that I always knew exacty what I was doing,
D2
I have no doubt of that. But as Mike Tyson said, "everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the face".
This is so true, and also why I made it 11.
Need to catch up.
Bro,
I am a mother****ing criminal. If I got all the years I deserved, I'd still be in now.
I have also held a piece of steel in my hand and said "either I die, or you do" when I was there.
I'll let you piece the rest together.
For the avoidance of doubt, I didn't have to use it. The threat was sufficient. What I should be locked up for is mostly all white collar. So, chillrob would have me in for maybe a 3-5, not natural life.
what did you locked up for?
I stole 257 thousand dollars.
257 would have been alright, when you add all those zeroes to the end, the authorities get a bit mad. I was only 21, too.
How many days in the hole does threatening Browser with a steel pipe get you these days?
Did you have to pay full restitution or how much on hookers and blow did you spend before you were caught?
Depends. Are we sharpening the pipe?
I paid exactly zero back. I guess if I paid some back, the judge might have broken me off with a little less time.
how much time did you spend
how did you take the money
does this follow you everywhere?
impact dating/social/employment/housing?
I was in jail for 12 hours because some cops told me to cross at a crosswalk and I just took off running for fun but ended up in an area of downtown Tempe that was impossible to escape from.
Another time I spent the night in jail for having an unpaid ticket for not having a front license plate on my car (still don't). I'm hard core. (Actually iirc I was pulled over for the license plate but arrested for some other unpaid ticket I forget what)
You died and were condemned to haunting 2+2 for all eternity?
i spent an afternoon handcuffed in the back of a rosarito cop car as they shook us down and while waiting for my buddy to come back with cash, one of the cops killed a chihuaha with a machete because it was yapping
I actually know how to pick cuffs with a slice of a coke can.
I would be in favor of the mods here having this power and inclination.
First of all, all cuffs have the same key. Secondly, you don't need a key. They work on a ratchet mechanism. You can literally slide in anything sturdy and thin enough and undo the ratchet.
