Hey! I feel good!

Great place for purchasing things, definitely.

Though I suppose it must give you pause that an employer can terminate you without reason.

Who wants to be the official exporter of things I want to avoid paying tax on?

DEAR MEXICAN: Math problem: If there are 20 Mexicans, 20 Indians, 20 Chinese, 20 Puerto Ricans, 20 Blacks and one white person in a room, then how many people are there in the room whose identity is used as a benchmark to establish the identities of the rest of the people in the room? (Hint: not a colored person.)

DEAR GABACHO: The 20 Mexicans—because everyone else will do everything possible to let the world know they're not Mexican as the deportation train comes along.

Are we a bunch of whiny Trumpbros, or are we Mexicans? Pónganse las pilas, y a trabajar, banda. Oh, and #fucktrump.

I'm 35 and that has yet to happen.

If that day comes, I'll be sure to run down to my local Walmart and pick me up some bootstraps.

Funnily enough, I believe I'd originally heard about that on the dead ol' OBoard when it totally did happen to somebody and initially reacted with a sort of, "Nah, they can't do that. Surely not." Replies came in quoting legislation, letting all hope from the newly unemployed boarder like blood from the sow.

Don't make me talk about the handful of starfish we are metaphorically capable of rescuing from the desiccating clutches of the not particularly moist boardwalk next. I'm tired.

Good ol' "at will" employment. An employer may terminate an employee at any time for any reason or for no reason at all. Warms your heart.

Living in America is particularly exhausting during an election year. I can't turn the TV on until next February.

:erm:

ooh, happy birthday Mr. Jones! may he be adorned with several gay frogs on this special day

as if this thread wasn't shitty enough.

84 days left in this shithole nation. every time I see a plane my heart and hobbit lift in anticipation!

*not an actual offer

To do what? Why?

Chiang Mai. Five months (this time, next time imma go for a year on a student visa).

Why not? I work online anyway. To live in an awesome place full of bomb temples and hella bomb food and where the cost of living for a month is less than the rent for the shitiest apartment in Orlando.

Oh and also to visit ANGKOR WAT and drink a magic mushroom shake. :D

What's everyone's favorite Sonic game for the Genesis

It has to be Sonic 2 for me, with both players, but I won't be angry if you say something different

haven't played any other than those 2 in a while, at least as far as the Genesis ones go - 'cause lord knows i'm a sucker for Battle Adventure 2!

Sonic 3 jammed into the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge, as god intended.

You know, I remember really liking 3, but I don't think I ever bought "…& Knuckles," so I didn't get the full experience

I did do a ROM of the combined game many years later, but all my coordination was gone and I gave up pretty quickly

I have such happy memories of playing 2 with my best friend for months on end, and for whatever reason, we just never got addicted to 3 in the same way

so video games huh


cool cool :)

3 was the only one I owned for a time, so I have the most emotional attachment to it. 1 and 2 I would always have to rent from the video store or borrow from a friend. Sonic & Knuckles came later. We were poor growing up, but our Sega Genesis was like an oasis of entertainment, with all five games we had. I also have fond memories of playing Jurassic Park and somehow figuring out the cheatcode that allowed Alan Grant to walk through walls. I literally was mashing random buttons when I unlocked the code. Proudest achievement in my life right there, I tell you h'what.

Hey! Piss off!

...the side of your bed and onto your GameCube.

fwiw, my heart and bathtub are forevermore closed to you

bwbw I peed in your bathtub

Bullshit King Cannot Handle Bullshit Religion

why did god take kobe and not trump?

trick question

there is no god

even god can only handle one arrogant rapist at a time

i don't believe kobe was a rapist, because he was never accused before or after that instance and that makes a difference; i'm not so quick to demonize a black man on the word of one white woman--that's dangerous and i won't do it. kobe also didn't sexualize his daughter. djt on the other hand was accused by numerous women and children and recorded sounding like a rapist so i wish he had been the one to die.
