How come when the Black guy wore trousers an inch-an-a-half above his shoe tops it was cool in 1964, but when I did it ten years later in high school all the Black kids laughed at me?

Good luck finding one. Ronnie Raygun defunded them.

We all come up with plans for things we're never actually [gotten] around to[.]Back in the... I'm gonna say late 80s, but might have been early 90s, my RPG buddies and I were playing an espionage-themed RPG where we had received credible information that one of the candidates for the Presidential election was a foreign agent. It also happened to an election year in the Real World, so I'm guessing the GM was doing a "themed" scenario. Anyway, we took a break and went to Breadmens to grab something to eat. One of us, who doesn't have much of an "indoor" voice, was discussing options for dealing with this possible foreign agent, and was saying, "Well, we can always kidnap them and make them 'disappear'." We got a lot of weird looks before we got him to change the subject.(I don't remember how that one ended. It might have been one of those campaigns we started and then dropped because no one was really into the genre.)Anyway, that's the closest I've ever gotten to planning on kidnapping a politician for any reason. Also probably the closest I've gotten to having a chat with the Secret Service.

At least they haven't let him out on bail.

If God can give people leave to ignore the 10 Commandments, then why even a 10 Commandments? Just have God as the ultimate tyrant, whatever he says goes, whatever he doesn't does not.

These fucktards are so privileged and ignorant that they have absolutely no problems committing blasphemy without realizing it.

Well, as a weird teenager working as a driller's aid on a seismograph crew, I would steal just a little bit of blasting powder from each tube and put it in my pocket to take home - I amassed about 8 ounces before I was fired for driving the water truck over said blasting powder. I didn't want to bring down a bridge, I wanted to drop an embankment into a creek to see what would happen.

Nota bene: blasting powder is not a powder but a sort of clay-like substance filled with sand - and a .22 does not set it off

One of my dancer friends stripped to that song back in the day when it was still legal in Seattle to take your top off. She often said she felt like a female impersonator - then, in 1974, he trans into a guy and grew a beard and all that stuff.

I am not sure how to use pronouns during before and after stories???

Those may be bananas? So Banana Republic if Trump is back in power? Seems about right but not really what he's supposed to convey.

I've been playing D&D with my kids (10 & 11). I remember them excitedly talking in public about killing this or that. I cast my eyes this and that way to see if anybody picked up on it and nobody did as far as I could tell.

How would I have explained that?

Ohhhh. Thank you. That is fucking pathetic. But then so is naming their racist dead ender crap after an ancient hip hop movie.

Here in the YooKay, a 4-year-old Muslim boy was referred to an anti-Muslim anti-terrorist agency as a result of being overheard excitedly talking about a videogame.
