Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable
Storm Rider:
My computer crapped itself about two weeks ago. This is the first time I've actually logged in since it's happened.
So... hey guys, what's up?

suicide is always a really serious concern but keep in mind people do also tend to say really ridiculous insensitive stuff when they want something, and are aware of the red flags that the word suicide sets off.
maybe what you can do here is tell one of his friends instead so they'll keep an eye on him, or something to that effect? either way he shouldn't be your responsibility at all anymore.
Storm Rider:
No comment.

This is really the point with the dyke thing. It is a highly offensive term to some people, and you can argue that using it for a 'particularly bad' lesbian is the same as calling a 'particularly bad' black person by that other word. You know, the word that I don't even feel comfortable typing. The word that I feel a little bad for having just said aloud alone in my empty apartment.
The are plenty of other ways to talk shit about people that don't involve touching on highly sensitive social injustices of our time. My favortie is 'cock-juggling thunder-cunts'. Notice how that one totally avoids 'fuck', 'shit' or 'ass' yet still sounds pretty offensive? The trick is in the genitals. Nobody likes your smelly genitals.

Said encounter will be hella awkward for your ex, but that is the point. Hopefully boy #2 won't find the encounter awkward, but if he does, well, maybe he wasn't such a great catch after all.

I think this is a bad idea because a tenuous #2 might get weirded out and get out even if he is a decent catch.

this could be me reading too much into how people talk to each other, but i find it's also nice to get into the habit of thinking of people as people and not bringing up things like race or sexual orientation or whatever when discussing particularly good or bad interactions. like, saying "man, someone cut in front of me while i was trying to park and took my spot, it was really rude" instead of "man, some black guy cut in front of me while i was trying to park and took my spot, it was really rude". if you think about it, the second story's kind of weird because if the main issue's that this person was kind of an inconsiderate driver, why bother bringing their race into it? it will just go downhill from there.
