The Pledge of Allegiance to the Texas flag. Students are required under state law to recite both pledges once per school day. Yes, I know it is a gross violation of students’ 1st Amendment right to freedom of speech, but Texas does whatever the fuck it wants.
Good work, gumshoe.
I thought you was black, man?
If you are paying for a subscription and get full access to the progression system, then stuff starts becoming available reasonably quickly. Within a year or so, I was a capable ABC miner as part of a crew in a wormhole system, making enough ISK each month to pay for my monthly subscription through PLEX and have half of it left over.
Eve Online is the finest, most intricate MMO ever created, and I absolutely hate it.
I remember Forsaken on N64. I worked at Blockbuster, and that was the one and only game I’d recommend to people at the time. It changed what I knew a video game to be (not long after Super Mario 64 did the same). +
I have. My ex’s mother was named Karen, and she was 100% Karen. Bigoted to the core. But I hear ya.
I drove from Dallas to Toronto in 2017 (you know, for fun), and I was amazed not only at how trim almost everyone looked but also at how many fucking people were on bicycles. Coming from the concrete jungle that is DFW, it was genuinely inspiring.
But of course you are.
The United States is the only country I know of in which that insult is considered misogynistic, and even then only when it is directed toward a woman. OP is not a woman, and, even though I reside in the United States, I do not consider myself an American. Regarding its offensiveness to women, yes, some women do consider it offensive. If any of them are reading this, then they can go ahead and be offended if they wish, that is their right. But the C-word is not misogynistic. Misogyny involves tools of gendered oppression, the way the N-word has long been a tool of racist oppression. The C-word has never had that sort of power.
If I had called him a “pussy”, then that is something different because it implies cowardice, as though people who own one are cowards. If I had accused him of having a small penis, then that would have been body-shaming and uncool. But cunt? Dick? Asshole? They are just words indicating someone is a jerk, which OP most certainly is.
I have done a lot…like, a lot of work on the vocabulary I employ. I have nothing but feminist men, women, and enbies in my circle, and we all hold each other accountable for the language we use. We shun ableist terms (“lame”, “crazy”), sex-shaming (“slut”), poverty-shaming (“white-trash”, “ghetto”), and a whole host of other very common terms in modern parlance. And, while a couple women I’ve known have had a distaste for the word “cunt”, they just didn’t like the way it sounded.
All this being said, thank you for what you do by trying to hold me accountable for the language I use.

Nothing you haven’t deleted. I saw your comments this morning. You definitely made sweeping assumptions about women in general. Lying about it and deleting evidence doesn’t change this fact.
No woman is going to want to date you, and it’s not because you are short and ugly, it’s because you hate yourself, you paint all women with an impossibly shallow brush, you have a shit personality, and you have an unwillingness to do even a modicum of work to learn, grow, and improve yourself, choosing instead to wallow in self-pity. Quit whining and become a better person.
There, just saved you $10,000 in therapy bills.
Right? And also…who needs space between two homes if there are no lawns? Just moosh all the outer walls together.
Come to think of it…that’s gonna result in a ridiculously long line of houses. Maybe we could moosh roofs and bottom floors and stack 'em up a bit to make the line of houses only a half to a third as long, and then leave a little space between Consecutive House Stacks™️ - y’know, so that there’ll room for more windows.
