Fuck it I’m 53 with a bad ticker. I’ll watch hell descend while drinking a margarita on the beach.

I grew up lower middle class in Rural Alberta Canada in the 70’s. I moved to a mid sized city in the beginnings of my teens. and one major thing that stuck out to me was the amount of swearing the city kids did. I heard more curse words in one recess than I pretty much did in my entire lifetime up to that point.

Not to say that we didn’t know swear words it was just REALLY frowned upon by every one. Adults didn’t swear in front of kids, and men/boys didn’t swear in front of girls.

“there was no Danger to my Chasis”

“duh.”

Oh man This post just awoke a REAL old memory for me. Growing up my dad had these two old beat up flashlights. I looked them up and found this https://www.etsy.com/listing/1027765511/eveready-no1359-safety-flashlight.

I always thought they had a cool design.

Beg pardon, but are you male or female?

Lets be honest. Most people buy stuff to impress other people. At this stage in my life I have no fucks to give about that any more.

Of all the places to do this to, why The Archive?

You act like that’s any different from any other fortune 500 company.

eh, my gout is acting up…

Hey, if you got to enjoy that feature from reddit like me, you’d be paranoid too

I know. They’re the ones I feel for, they’ll be the ones choking to death on the ash of a dead world.

You don’t choose to be straight, you don’t choose to be gay

I was going to add that to my argument, but i felt that it would get twisted into someone saying that gay people are pedophiles. I didn’t feel like arguing that point.

It’s just this absurd idea that any day now the masses will rise up against their oppressors and usher in a golden age of humanity. I’m all for disagreeing with with your place of work.

I’ve used it for that too, but even that’s going away. Pretty soon I think ISP’s (or governments) will clamp down on VPN’s. Or they will make the argument that if you want to use a VPN, then you can only use “THEIR” VPN

I personally think that pedophilia is genetic, or a chemical brain imbalance or something. There has to be something that would cause someone to do something they know that it they get caught, their life is over.

It’s like Louie CK’s joke from his SNL appearance. To paraphrase “I love Mounds bars, but if you told me I would be thrown in jail and raped or killed, I wouldn’t eat one ever again”

I will admit that I don’t understand the the hardline stance some people take about legal/non legal dating. There is only a years difference between a 17 year old and an 18 year old. (even less depending on date of birth. Both of them have had the same life experiences as the other. But some screech that is sexual assault of a minor.

The even weirder argument is an age difference between a “legal” 18 year old (or whatever the legal age is in your country) and someone older. I’ve seen people online try to cancel someone just because he is 5 years older.

I don’t think people realize how quietly dangerous this is for women. It robs them of their agency to make their own informed decisions. This is just as insidious as people wanting to ban abortion, just a quieter argument.

Probably. It’s over now whatever it was.

You’re the one who made the argument that there were plenty of uses. The onus is on you to back up your suppositions. Not me.
