On the one hand, of course nobody would see UFOs while working or sleeping, but on the other hand I appreciate the point (THEY'RE JUST DRUNK) and referring to the parts of every day that are not explicitly reserved for work or sleep as "drinking hours" is charming enough to win me over :3:

i live near a railroad and if my window's open i can vaguely hear when a train passes, but it's so quiet it sounds more like there's a large crowd in the distance cheering me on. it's really uplifting.

How can a train be quiet? Shouldn't it be perpetually blaring its horn and squealing its poorly lubricated wheels along the rusted tracks?

I knew two girls in my high school class who ended up going to Brandeis. One of them was Greek Orthodox but a Judaism weeaboo for cultural reasons like the dentist from Seinfeld. The other one was Jewish but a Christianity weeaboo for Broadway reasons (she was apparently so into both Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar that she actually took serious offense to Jesus jokes). Basically being from the Northeast where actual Jewish people live (notably including myself) I really don't understand how red-staters can think of Jews as this mysterious reclusive race of supervillains.
Was this recent because I might know these people

Also the summer before I left for brandeis I was invited to a reception thing here in Houston and I literally had no idea there was a Jewish neighborhood in the city

I live pretty close (maybe half a mile) from railroad tracks and find the sound somewhat soothing at night. Well, as long as it's the HOOOOOONK HOOOONK and then silence. Sometimes you get a real turd who lays on it like HOO HOO HOOONK HOOONK HOONK HOOO HOO- shut the gently caress up already! The wheels don't squeal, they make kind of a rumbling clackety sound. I don't even notice it most of the time.

Iirc the number of whistles and length are regulated by the train or its length or something. They don't have a choice in the matter.

Can I Marry an Anti-Zionist?

I am an unmarried 32- year-old woman who is very ready to settle down and have kids. At the beginning of this year I met a really great guy. I am okay with his non-Jewishness because it will not interfere with my Jewishness or my kids’ Jewishness. I am not okay with his politics on Israel, which he calls an apartheid state. I tell him he hasn’t read enough, but he says the military occupation, settlements and large numbers of Palestinians who have died are all he needs to know. I am a Zionist, my father was born in Israel, and I am wondering if this should be a dealbreaker, or if that is ridiculous and I should just get over it.

Well, they were just as poor before the north came down and burned them. So, help them with resources you have aplenty?

But no, we mask our own dissatisfaction into mocking and narratives.

Seriously look at wages. Lowest is food.

So the main advantages of a rich agriculture land is valued the least, ergo they are poor because by they are racist?

But the funniest thing about Santorum's movie company is that it was co-founded by the owner of an anime production company and the two businesses share office space.
:roflolmao: Ahahahahahaha holy poo poo this is funniest hypocrisy I've ever seen! EchoLight's co-founder is Gen Fukunaga, aka the president and CEO of FUNimation. That means that the money for Santorum's films is coming directly from not just DBZ, that violent, unwholesome children's show where God is just a green alien (and not very strong at that), it's also coming from other violent and/or sex filled Funimation licensed shows such as Future Diary, Deadman Wonderland, Black Lagoon, and loving Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt:

Rick Santorum's income posted:

The show revolves around the exploits of the Anarchy sisters, Panty and Stocking, angels who were kicked out of Heaven due to their bad behavior.

[Panty] does not take her Ghost-hunting duties as seriously as her sister Stocking, instead preferring to fulfill her personal goal of having sex with one thousand men on Earth before returning to Heaven.

Whilst [Stocking] doesn't have the same level of interest in sex as her sister, she does show sexual urges and interests, and is generally more interested in masochistic activities, such as bondage and electrocution.

[Garterbelt] relays missions from Heaven to Panty and Stocking, and is constantly annoyed by their erratic behavior and lack of commitment to tasks at hand. Though vocal about keeping order in Daten City, he practices bondage and displays interest in young males, particularly Brief, and uses a masked alias called "Master G" to disguise himself while undertaking such hobbies. In his youth, he was a brutal thug who committed a wide array of crimes including robbery, prostitution, selling drugs and murder.
Seriously, the show reads like a checklist of something designed to make Santorum break down in horror and declare America's morality dead; it's literally the antithesis of everything he believes in. And yet, he's apparently just fine with getting money from it, so enjoy your smut money Ricky.:allears:

And yes, anime trap sprung. I haven't actually seen Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt though, I'm just aware of it being an insanely raunchy show, which makes it so funny that it's funding something Rick Santorum's doing.

Well I'll gas it if it ever gets that bad.

D&D is a community. We see each other in a lot of the same threads. So people talk about their lives and their day and whatever, and then people complain "this is the SCOTUS thread, stop talking about Mexican food." The endgame of this thread is that less non political derails in political threads, because if I need to I can ask Reindeerf about Thai cuisine here or Randler about German cuisine here instead of whatever random thread I see them posting in.

Yeah, I'm well aware the show's satirical as all hell; Santorum's chronic inability to get/take a joke has been plastered (you might even say splattered:v:) all over the internet thanks Dan Savage and the greatest troll ever, so more jokes at Santorum's expense are always good.

Seriously, the fact that that Santorum's "Google Problem" was actually relevant to his presidential campaign is absolutely loving hilarious, you can't get much more famous or national than that.:allears:
