You'll have to trust me on this because I can't link to the search due to the way the Texas legislature does its searches but Crockett did not have a single bill that advanced to committee let alone passed during her time there (a single term) before running for Congress either.

She makes a good point in a segment here: a lot of politicians study and speak in "politics speak" which is something Black politicians shun because it wouldn't gain us access. Hence why you have a lot of Black Democrats who have no problem speaking like real people.

It may be time for all Dems to speak like real people. Abandon the politics equivalent of the weather person cadence.

 

If you guys promise to never bitch about people using terms that you don’t like, we have a deal.

I don’t have any problem with her calling Abbot “hotweels governor” but let’s not pretend that ERA is willing to tolerate this behavior from politicians of the other side.

Why do these maladjusted creeps think they’re in tune with what regular normal people think? We’re consistently seeing a distancing from their pet positions because of how toxic and synonymous with losing they are.

Don't really think you're grasping the "right side of history" part, their eventual correctness is divinely ordained. Maybe you need to more closely read the scriptures basic theory.

Any advice regarding suicidal thoughts and active planning over this? 30 years of therapy and meds, 5 years of ketamine, and multiple hospital stays and a supportive family haven't done a thing.

Look into what options you have to get out of the country, if any. Check to see if other countries are looking for your skills, or if there are any you might be interested in moving to that have family ties to that you can use to get appropriate papers or if that have relatively cheap 'buy in' levels that you can afford.

I'm not planning on running because I've worked too hard to build a life for myself and I'll fight for it first, but it's still been helpful working to get everything in place so my options are stay here vs move abroad rather than stay alive or don't. It's helped somewhat limit the stakes.

Eh. Death and non-existence sound a lot more appealing TBH. The idea of never feeling anything at all again.

I guess I want to try and get a Switch 2 at least first, though after that I'll probably have literally nothing interesting me to keep going.

Is he for real for giving out advices on suicidal thoughts?

[Polident]

Guy: “Suicidal. Struggling. Need advice.”

Sociopath: “me me me I I I my my my”

[benji]

"Doctor, I'm feeling suicidal and actively planning it."
"Have you tried completely uprooting your entire life and moving to a country where you don't know anyone, have no support networks or employment and might not speak the language?"
"But doctor, I am Crazy Joe Davola."

[NekoFever]

A line needs to be drawn somewhere. This is still a gaming forum after all.

If you say so.

[Polident]

Honestly, given how many suicidal posters are there, a responsible leadership would examine why. Either the forum is making them suicidal. Or it’s become a welcoming beacon for people in the burgeoning suicide scene.

Yeah, Jasmine Crockett is pretty great at calling a spade a spade. We need more people with that energy and determination.

Using this racist dog whistle in a thread about a Black woman, you ain't slick




Bonus:

I wanna see an Ocasio-Cortez / Crockett ticket one day

She's an excellent political communicator and manages to synthesize political issue in terms of clear values that are easy to understand.

I'm also not afraid to admit it: she's a baddie

South Dallas is lucky to have her as their rep.
She may be from St. Louis, but DFW has accepted her as their own.

Jasmine Crockett is one of the most important faces of the Democratic Party for me. She speaks truth to power constantly and actually cuts through the bullshit unlike most politicians.

Of course the double standard levied against her for being both Black and a woman already has seen tons of thinly veiled racism lobbed at her from supposed liberals and progressives who don't like how she comes across which is hardly unsurprising.

And she's actually trying to accomplish something unlike the bloviating of other certain elected officials who abandoned their Black constituents/lawmakers when they asked for help, has passed no legislation and only seems interested in doing rallies.

Over two years in Congress, Crockett has not had a single bill moved into committee let alone passed.

Her district is 75+% Democrat, she gets constant media exposure for just saying things. This clip is her on one of the nation's most popular talk shows because she's popular with the media on social media.

I smiled all the way through that, which I never thought would happen with a 10 minute Jimmy Kimmel clip. A small sliver of hope for the future.

We could 100% use some of that no bullshit energy over in the UK right now.

If there's one thing I especially appreciate with how she talks is that she's not afraid to call out BS or tell it like it is. So many Democrats try to go for BS decorum nonsense but she'll call out nonsense for what it actually is. It's a breath of fresh air

Yeah, Jasmine Crockett is pretty great at calling a spade a spade. We need more people with that energy and determination.

I know another guy who the first thing people say they like about him is that he "tells it like it is", ignores decorum and has no use for DC political traditions.  

And if you hate the "weather person cadence" I know another guy you'll love:

He even used to be a Democrat!

He's a frequent character for David and Dana to do.

Transgender women banned from female pool category
The Ultimate Pool Group (UPG) ban transgender women from female category after landmark UK Supreme Court ruling that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/c1k4gd2vge9o

'It (the UPG) also said that a report it commissioned had concluded that 8-ball pool "was a gender affected sport and that in cue sports female players have unique disadvantages compared to male players and that transgender women retain male advantages".'

We have advantages in hitting balls now apparently.

[Boredfrom]

Yes, you have. Why pretend other wise, Uzzy? Unless you actually don’t know what the fuck you are talking about?

The next time my short-ass mom tells me she needs help reaching something in the cupboard i'm going to tell her to stop being such a lazy bitch.

I don't know shit about pool but Arm angle, arm length, height, hand size would all seem to be advantageous.

That's wrestling. It's the carniest business around.

User Banned (1 Week): Dismissive Commentary

Because they do not care. They don't care about the terrible things the McMahons have done, they don't care about the wrestlers acting like shit, they don't care about the racism, they don't care about hulk hogan being a pos, they simply just do not give a fuck if it doesn't bother them personally. They don't even wanna know. They just wanna watch wrestling, fuck everyone else.

I tried pointing out the terrible things Vince has done to someone at work and was told "oh he doesn't even have anything to do with wwe!"

They won't even bat an eye at the deportation "joke."

Nothing is clarified. I understand adult human female and biological woman are actually just dogwhistles so it doesn't have to make sense but I still don't understand how a trans woman (TWO WORDS!) who is medically transitioning is not both of these

Nothing is clarified. I understand adult human 
female <of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) that can be fertilized by male gametes> 

and biological 
woman <an adult female human being> 

are actually just dogwhistles so it doesn't have to make sense but I still don't understand how 
trans woman <a person who was registered as male at birth but who lives and identifies as a woman; a transgender woman> 

(TWO WORDS!) who is medically transitioning is not both of these

Dudes in their 50s like Leo and Shay who fuck with 20 year olds is a risky fetish when you worth millions.

In shays case, it being with white women is playing with fire at a gas station. This nigga did this to himself.

I understand that people are making jokes of it in conversation, but the amount of "See!? He should have gone for a Black woman!" Takes that I'm seeing in certain spaces over this…

And nah. Nah! Black women deserve better than this! Better than Shannon Sharpe. This man is an abuser and, even if he weren't, he's still made his preference for everyone BUT Black women known. Black women are not the consolation prize for immature and/or abusive men. THIS MAN IS NOT A PRIZE.

We say, "get you an old gal." But he wouldn't be a good partner to that old gal. Because when it comes to Shannon Sharpe's maturity and character…it's insufficient funds.

RE can be so fucking weird talking about race. Like they're so busy here to boost up black women that they don't even seem to realize how they're putting down every other woman with that? Like what the fuck is this argument that none of this would have happened if Sharpe got with a black woman instead of a white one? And somehow that's not the part Royalan takes is issue with

Look into what options you have to get out of the country, if any. Check to see if other countries are looking for your skills, or if there are any you might be interested in moving to that have family ties to that you can use to get appropriate papers or if that have relatively cheap 'buy in' levels that you can afford.

This was the easiest for me because I was watching Jake Randall's video and listening to his stream when his chat told him when certain stores pages were up. But fucking trying to checkout in Target for the first opening hour of pre-order window. Glad I didn't get from there anyway with the way they are throwing minorities under the bus to kiss the ring of Trump and Neo-Nazis

Yet you still attempted to buy from the Nazi store. Curious

Ah shit I dont know what to do. When I left for gamestop my online order on their website went through shockingly. I didn't know till I got back and saw the open window. I got another preorder in store. I figure I can sell the online store system to my cousins son who is about to graduate HS in June. But I don't want to risk gamestop canceling either of my preorders.

I say this kind of sort of but not really respectfully.
Read the fucking room.
There are many in here who have not been able to get even one preorder.
