This is why I could not get through Xenocide. I absolutely loved Ender’s Game and Speaker For The Dead, two of the all time greatest, but xenocide was so flawed I just couldn’t keep going with the series. Also, fuck Orson Scott Card in general.

Don’t bring religion into this.

If parents don’t want their kids around drag shows that’s fine, don’t take their kids to drag shows. If they don’t want any kids at all to ever be exposed to drag performers then they need to mind their own damned business.

Drag performers are entertainers, not sex workers, the performances run the gambit from burlesque down to just karaoke and show tunes, just because they aren’t strictly child entertainers and that some drag shows aren’t appropriate for children it doesn’t mean there is no such thing as child appropriate drag shows. People make adult oriented entertainment with puppets and cartoons, that doesn’t mean every form of entertainment involving puppets or cartoons is inappropriate for children. I remember going to one of those drag restaurants a few times as a kid where they do song performances and stay in character while they serve you and take your orders, it was a blast.

It’s always the people you most expect.

Whatever helps you sleep.

Thank you!

Fiddlesticks…

Can I bother anyone in this thread to help with suggestions for a Linux distro that works for a gaming PC that won’t require me to have a computer science degree? I’m not afraid of some troubleshooting here and there, but I’m kind of dumb.

Edit: I should have known there’d be a shotgun load of different distros, good thing I’ve been gifted with e-“waste” for years, I’ve got some tinkering to do. Hyper-fixation, here I come.

I’ve worked apartment maintenance and the amount of people who were intimately watching the war room while I worked in their apartments proves this assertion woefully wrong. You’ve got neighbors and acquaintances that are balls deep into that shit.

The difference between a cult and a religion: In a cult everyone truly believes in what they are being told and the person at the top knows it’s all bullshit, when that person dies it’s a religion.

You’re gonna get brained with a rock.

God damned leftist groomers at it again. Won’t anyone think of the children’s genitals?!

Not a vegan, but plant proteins are highly abundant in anything like lentils, beans, rice, nuts, the thing is they aren’t complete proteins, for the most part, so you need to make sure whatever your eating is paired with a complementary amino acid profile. Generally if you’re eating beans or legumes then pair them with a grain or rice. Seitan is a great source of protein if you pair it with the right things because the only amino acid it’s not providing is lysine.

He played harmonica, a paltry instrument when compared to the majesty of the kazoo. Good episode, though.

I apologize for nothing.

Wait, for Club Penguin or GhostX? cause I’d kill my grandma to be able to play GhostX again, but I haven’t heard anyone being able to get the files to make it happen.

Anything from Quentin Tarantino, his writing style just bugs the fuck out of me, he is so far up his own ass and it shows with every stupid pretentious monologue.

So much sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Can you explain in what way you feel Blackrock is right? Do you feel that people’s lives and healthcare are less important than share holder profits for a company that sells you the promise of covering your medical expenses because that’s what you are specifically paying them to do because they gave you a legally binding agreement to do so? How does a health insurance company insuring healthcare costs put them in the wrong? I really need a clarification here.

It’s really just something that would come with the territory, like the character of Kilgrave.

You’re only able to utilize the Club Penguin files after you’ve setup a server to revive GhostX.
