This absolutely works for all genders to be fair. I’ve had women tell me they wouldn’t date a bald guy even if the said guy is attractive otherwise . . . Right to my bald headed face. Hahaha.

This makes sense in your context, but I am assuming that the context OP is discussing is the woman is going on a date that she knows will at least end up in her getting undressed enough that the other person will see her underwear.

Yay! We’re number one! USA, USA, USA! Fuck me.

If you can give her a clitoral orgasm with your fingers or tongue - you can then use your penis to put icing on “the cake”.

James Clavell’s Shogun is a great novel about the isolation of Japan.

I don’t have an avatar because I can’t figure out how to change it. Looked it up plenty and always come away empty handed.

Is it really “worth remembering”? The past is passed. They’re not the same company and the PC space is not the same as it was back then. Who cares?

I can’t state it any better than The Oatmeal. . . https://theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

Anything that starts off negatively. . .

That hitting your children is NOT a good discipline technique.

Yup, you pointed that out, but in OP’s scenario - they would be the boss. You are not the boss, you need to be a team player. Work on your engagement skills or be honest with your coworkers, don’t drag your boss into managing this type of thing. They’ll see it as incompetent behavior most likely and most likely they won’t see it the way you are hoping for.

You know what they say . . . It’s all fun and games until a kindergarten gets shot.

That looks great.

I would love a remake of this. . .

Uhm . . .? What are you missing?

You act like before Google we couldn’t figure things out. Sometimes not taking the easier/easiest way is better. We existed until the year 2000 without this futuristic computer in our pocket (technically longer) and we did just fine and we still had to suffer fools. Great example would be the emergence of AIDS spreading through the heterosexual community. Lots of disingenuous and lost humans and not a Google in sight. AI is computer driven and it’s counterpart will also be computer driven. . . I am convinced there will be a counterpart. We’ll have a “detect AI button” or something similar. If the program has language the program can be spotted. Scams, lies, propaganda, shilling, etc will always exist and the intelligence that creates these things will also have the chance to defeat these things. This is maybe naive or optimistic, but . . . so it goes.

GMM is a go to or catch up on some Minnmax action.

I understand completely. I personally do not say the pledge because I know where it comes from. I believe that this country is supposed to be a beacon of democracy. A government by the people for the people. I realized in my mid 40s that there are some people who still think that the POTUS is supposed to be like a king. That’s the opposite of what I learned in school (I am from New York State) and it does have me worried. I hope that we can move back that way because I agree the people are what makes a democratic type of government stronger. Our elected officials are supposed to work for us not the other way around. I fear that a great deal of them are working for corporate greed however. I teach the Holocaust in my classroom and I also teach about fascism. I look to Germany now with hope that people can survive a government that does wrong by them. In saying all of this - I am proud of the ideals that this country (and it’s flag) stand for, but in fear of being a hypocrite - I realize that one of the standards that the flag symbolizes is freedom. Freedom to say the pledge or not based on your own personal feelings and thoughts about what that flag means to you. I hope the kids are feeling proud of those ideals and not feeling nationalistic, but I need to teach them how to think and not to think like me, but to think for themselves. Peace fellow freedom chaser. I hope history keeps us allies.

“And valuing the needs and opinions of others” isn’t that exactly what I am doing by asking my students to respect that others can say the pledge if they want to? As much as I feel I don’t have a right to tell a kid to say the pledge - I would be a hypocrite if I told kids they couldn’t.

It’s the end product that I am giving a definition. By the way, what did I “lose”? How am I a loser for caring about my young family and my country that I care about? Why is this a competition for you? I am an American who is worried about where this country is heading in many aspects of it (Dem and Republican alike). I do not belong to a single party and I vote my conscience on issues. So, I ask you again . . . What did I “lose”? I am worried about a corporate America where working class people are duped by their government officials and are losing the ability to make a living. If that makes me a “loser” than I guess we’re all losers. And if you think that I am the enemy (a fellow American) then we are definitely all “losers”.
