I just found notifications (and am still up at 9am responding to and up-fisting posts from months back).Glad someone responded because I had some other thoughts.Yes, I hear women being called dicks frequently (am in England), at least as often as I hear men called cunts, by males and females in both cases.
I appreciate the history of the word has sexist connotations in the U.S, and I feel uncomfortable making other people uncomfortable, but at the same time..
You can call someone a male genital and not a female one? That makes me feel like it's being censored like a sexy, Victorian, table leg.
Which is, I think, A) kind of sexist, and B) where the word gets it power from. People's reluctance to say it, because vagina parts are "unmentionable".
There's a lyric that goes something like "if you say it all the time, a dirty word will get its cleaning" I think that's slow to happen, but true.
It's takes a hot minute to kill 90% of a population via communicable disease. I take the fur trappers weren't too concerned about breathing death onto these people. It was probably pretty convenient for them. Still willful genocide.
The NYPD sent a nastygram to Google demanding that it with users, stating it encourages reckless driving and that "Revealing the location of checkpoints puts those drivers, their passengers, and the general public at risk." Google responded by saying people who are shitfaced aren't paying attention to their apps.Unfortunately, those who are legally impaired but not shitfaced are. Also anyone who has reason to avoid interacting with law enforcement, whether it's a "good" reason or not.
Well my experience is in New England, and in this case, earlier fur trappers had come through the area and spread diseases. By the time the Pilgrims showed up 90% of the local native population was already dead.
Starbucks' flavored coffees, like flavored coffees of most brands, start with medium roasts. I got more used to dark roasts on our last vacation in Alaska two years ago but still -- not my preference.

were they Jewish? that would be bad then.
“Jeez. This birch syrup tastes like vinegar!”“Sorry. Off my game today.”

Absolutely wonderful.
It is exactly what’s happening.

Matt Gaetz is a danger to public health.
Aye.
Indeed. Gaetz recognizes victims only insofar as they are useful to him.
I don't know where you're from but that sounds a lot like an ice storm in Atlanta.
Sort of like those tenth-generation photocopies where the printing looks like it's staggering-drunk and about to fall over.
If that wedding story is any precedent, Jesus could turn white corn syrup to birch syrup in a heartbeat.
The producer in this story is in Latvia, but it's produced in Canada and US as well.

I'm especially intrigued by question #2.

Sounds like a rerun of those "urban renewal" debacles of the early 1960s.
