I used to go to a bar where a guy who had both a dick and tits was a customer every so often.
To me the presence of this person was visually revolting. I was not in the least afraid of this person,
however I go to a bar to enjoy myself and the presence of this person impinged on my ability
to enjoy myself. So I quit going to the bar. This was no loss for me, because there are other bars
where such freaks do not show up. Many people don't want to hang out with such weird shit, and if
you doubt this then you need to get some more real-world experience because you are living in a bubble.
Bottom Line Number 1: some ( many ) of us just don't want to be around seriously weird people. And don't even try to tell me a
person who has a dick and tits that were added later is not weird. No power on earth is going to make me decide I am ok with being
proximate to such shit.
Bottom Line Number 2 : The vast majority of people are not transsexuals or similar. Transsexuals etc. are a tiny fraction of
the population. There's no way in the real world that weird people who are a tiny minority of the population are going to have the
ability to compel the majority of the population to accept their weirdness. No law or regulation is going to force people to like stuff they
do not like. And only an idiot or a fool or a liar with a hidden agenda would attempt to claim otherwise.
Bottom Line Number 3 : Do what you like in the privacy of your own home. But when you go into public there are rules and laws
in place which we all have to follow. If you disregard those rules you're going to have a rough life.
Lastly - I am sick and tired of minority groups acting like they are entitled to special treatment. And I guarantee I am FAR from alone
in this sentiment. You want to be weird and flout convention ? Fine. Don't expect any sympathy from me if you find yourself in a bad situation,l
because quite frankly, you put yourself there. If you look weird, or act weird, you're asking for a difficult life. Don't be surprised when it happens.
The problem is, you can replace the phrase 'a guy with both dick and tits' with all sorts of other things throughout history, and you'd see this exact sentiment expressed. For example, 'negroes.' Or 'women.' Or 'Irish.'
The problem is, it isn't "what he does". It's an act that is performed by people who have a certain "what he is" quality, with the direct implication that Trump "is" something he's not based on something that he doesn't actually "does". Yes, saying that Trump performs gay sex is calling him gay.
Is referring to somebody as an 'ass-kisser' a gay slur? How about a 'brown-noser?'
Consider how you'd feel about someone who refers to "watermelon eaters" in a derogatory way. You'd get the message from that, I assume. You'd laugh your ass off if I tried using the excuse that I was only talking about "what they do" and not "what they are".
Funny story. I was once at a Wayne Brady show. He asked the audience to pick a fruit. A young woman shouted out 'Watermelon!' Wayne Brady, of course, immediately started riffing on that. The young woman was quite upset, pointed out that she was wearing a dress covered in watermelon designs, and was offended that Wayne Brady assumed she was being racist. The show, by the way, was in Canada.
Colbert wasn't making a gay slur; he was making an obsequious toady slur. An obsequious toady will totally suck your cock, even if he isn't gay, and finds the act personally distasteful, because he's just that eager to please. That's the point Colbert was trying to make.
Colbert didn't call Trump gay, he called him a cock holster. In other words, he didn't attack what he 'is,' but what he 'does.'
The Nazis didn't call for the extermination of people who refuse to eat pork, which would include some Jews (but not other Jews), some Muslims, some vegetarians, some people who just happen to dislike pork, some people who can't afford pork, and so on.
Colbert's remark was a cruder version of 'ass kisser.' Or, in Yiddish, 'tuchus lecher.'
I wonder if a better title for this final RE movie would be "Resident Evil: Milla Jovovich Is Getting Too Old For This Shit And Wants To Play With Her Kids".
Here's the secret: nobody wants 'free markets.' They want 'open and fair markets.'
In a 'free market,' guess what, individual actors are 'free' to enage in whatever sort of arrangements they'd like; collusion, price fixing, monopolies, etc etc.
No, the trick is to not slide from 'regulated fairness' into, as you say, 'regulatory capture'.
Well, depends on the kind of war. If you're performing genocides, 'genetic cleansings' or what not, you'll likely absolutely be targeting the shanty towns and what not with NBC attacks (no pun intended.)
And even if you aren't, those shanty towns aren't going to do so good when armies are marching and nukes are flying.
I'm sure if your car dealer would randomly change things on your car you wouldn't have a problem with it either, right?
Your car dealer does this, or is supposed to, every time you bring your car in for service. Goes by many names, but the common one around here is 'recalls.' I think my manufacturer calls them 'warranty campaigns.'
Most of them I only find out about because the work order lists that they were done; they're generally not urgent enough to specifically call to your attention, but get done while your car is in for work anyway.
Oh and the other thing is don't try ot lose weight fast. Get some scales and aim to take it slow, like 2lbs per month. Yes, it's going to take bloody ages, but the alternative will usually take longer. Most people can push weight loss pretty hard and lose a bunch in a short time. Trouble is it's miserable and you'll burn out then put the weight back on.
And while doing this, don't be paying attention to the daily number; just record it. Try to be consistent about when you measure; personally, I suggest naked and right after your morning, ahem, evacuations.
Then, watch for downward trending. Again, pay no attention to the daily numbers. Too much noise.
Similarly, with exercise, don't 'start an exercise regimen.' Just be more active. Get up and walk around more often. Take the stairs once in a while, then more often. Do a couple of pushups. The thing with exercise is, unless you're trying to be a really competitive athlete, you don't really need all that much.
Now, if somebody could come up with something to drink that is a) delicious, and b) not full of sugar, I'd be happy guy. Water just gets so goddamn BORING after a while.
Eat a balanced diet with portion control and avoid processed foods.
Also, never 'start a new diet.' Just very slowly change your eating habits. Try whole-grain cheerios instead of regular cheerios. Try a yogurt instead of a pudding with lunch. One itty bitty thing at a time, so it's not work, and you're not lamenting all the delicious crap you used to eat.
Well, in the first bit, he's not calling out segregation or cultural appropriation, he's saying 'don't use exotic religious symbology to give false authority to your bullshit' and explicitly calls out Deepak Chopra for doing it.
The second video is a guy saying, first, "I haven't even watched this show, just some random, out of context clips", then saying "I don't understand incentive-based economics, therefore they can't be real" and "I don't understand that science might have changed in twenty years."
Depends on the business case for one or the other. In this case, the bank may well have decided 'the less than, literally, 600-in-7.5-billion chance of having somebody exceed this age range is less important to us than stopping incorrect payments going out to people with ages that are far FAR beyond 'wildly improbable.''
In other cases, it would be far better to have multiple incorrect accounts than to miss one valid but wildly outlier account.
A quick google search shows that there are, by the most wild estimate, 600 people on the planet, at most, who are over the age of 110. More like 150 to 300.
Raising the age to 130 just means there's an extra 20 years of potential pension fraud or incorrect payments.
What if you think 'Out of 7.5 billion humans, there are, at most, 600 people over the age of 110. How many of the 0.00000799927238618 percent of humans who fit this category likely happen to live in our country? How much bigger is the number of incorrect or fraudulent records where the age is above, say, 110?'
Why would someone who is not a programmer set up such an arbitrary limit?
Probably because it's not arbitrary; most people don't live to be 110, and everybody knows you're supposed to perform sanity checking. According to a quick google search (the height of scholarly rigor,) there's maybe 300 people in the world who are older than 110 years. The most wild estimate is 600.
On the other hand, fraud is a real thing, not to mention straight up human error; somebody dies, they don't get taken out of the system, so the money keeps going out.
I doubt very highly it's a 'two digit year' storage issue.
More likely, it's perfectly correct and reasonable boundary checking; an age should never be less than 0, and never more than, what? How many people are actually older than 110? She is an extreme outlier, and proof positive that the boundary checking is working.
Ok, so it's like the SCOTUS and pornography; you'll know it when you see it.
So, the followup question would be: you have teams of competitive StarCraft players who train in amounts and methods very similar to atheletes, and who play for cash prizes, sponsorship deals, and what not; what term would you say applies?
It was a cute little language, and I remember doing some fun stuff in it, including some basic 3d wireframe engine work. Which was pretty exciting stuff in high school computer programming in the early 90s on a 386.

I said it in a previous article about this, and I'll say it again: 'cock holster' was just a more profane way of saying 'ass kisser.'

You're trying to say that Oscar Issac Hernandez Estrada, born to a Guatemalan mother and Cuban father, in Guatemala, is white?
Ok, but what would the demographics be like post-Eugenics Wars?
If they encrypt your local copies, which Dropbox then dutifully uploads to the cloud, you have some lovely cloud-stored encrypted files, no?
Max Headroom style blipverts, adapted to movies. Brilliant!

Out of curiosity, how would you define 'sports', and what is it about, say, competitive LoL or StarCraft that doesn't meet that definition?
The question in America would be, is this covered by perfect tender, or substantial performance?

My first 'formal' computer programming training was in High School, using a language developed at the University of Toronto called Turing.
