Gay chat -- I am most often of the view that Republicans are evil and Democrats are incompetent. Today's rulings has certainly emphasized some of that. However, I recognize that you can't apply one rule to an entire group of people. Local Republican representative just came up with this: U.S. Rep. Pat Tiberi, R-Genoa Township posted:
I wish both sides would quit the "either black or white" binary robot think bullshit and see that the truth is largely found in the middle.

As Roman Catholic, I don't give a gently caress who can marry who. If you meet someone and fall so deeply in love with them that you want to be able to have a ceremony to recognise that love officially then be my loving guest. Or let me be yours...

The only thing marriage does in terms of "legality" is allows them to share common benefits, tax breaks and other associated things. Its simply a piece of paper saying "I am with this person". I know this is overly simplified, but its the basics.

One step closer to my dream of gay married couples being able to defend their marijuana plants with guns, today is a good day. As for the loser flag, I think it should not be flown on government property, period. However, it shouldn't be erased from history (look how well that worked for Germany.) If companies want to sell it, or not sell it, that's their prerogative. Private citizens should be allowed to if they want... mostly so I can tell from a distance that they're worthless fuckheads and not bother dealing with them at all. If I ran a printing company I'd gladly print confederate/nazi flags, but I'd charge 4 times as much and donate the proceeds 50/50 to the SPLC and the ADL. Suck on that one, bigots. e: Slow is Fast posted:My snapchat has been fucky lately. Please review energydrinks on snapchat more often. Works fine for me, your lovely old garbage phone is probably at fault here, get something modern already

Even though I know it's a bad idea, I still find myself trying to point out that [extreme viewpoint X] is either ignoring or misinterpreting certain information, and of course it doesn't work. The left needn't look so drat smug about things, either, at least most people recognise that the crazy end of the right is crazy. BloodBag posted:I found a thing. And it fits the thread title

This is pretty much literally what is happening across the south - state governments are removing the flag from public property and major retailers are voluntarily pulling the flags (and other confederate themed merchandise) from their shelves. Otherwise you're still free to show you're a shitlord, and anyone who says this is a government attack on free speech is just making a strawman argument because they don't have any other defensible position. Re: assholes on Facebook, not at all surprised that my extremely conservative cousin who ranted for days about how we've crossed the precipice of a slippery slope by banning the confederate flag from public places is now saying that only actual homosexuals can comment positively on the ruling and everyone else is just white noise. I am surprised, however, at the number of people I know who defended the duck dynasty guy and apparently learned their lesson and are sitting this one out. Or maybe they're just in shock after all the defeats social conservatives have suffered in the past two weeks...

I was stuck without internet or phone all morning so it was great to sit down for lunch and see that pop up. Made my day. Too bad our Pride Fest was last weekend, imagine it would have been even better if it was right after this passed. Looking forward to my Uncle's wedding sometime this fall or next spring. No surprise sister in law is against gay marriage and a fan of the flag  I mentioned something and she started arguing about it...glad my sound system gets loud enough to drown out the stupid.

So, in interesting car stuff, today on lunch break I learned my dad has had an cool automotive history. Apparently when he was younger he had a Fiat X19, and growing up in highschool he had an 850 Spider. Never figured my dad was a Fiat guy but apparently he loved both of those cars, despite the X19 being way too small for him. Said he debated on getting a Fiero when they came out since it was similar to his old X19 in terms of being a mid engine, rear wheel drive 2 door. I think he's kinda glad he didn't

IIRC he has owned a Fiero and a Yugo so he probably can make a reasonably accurate comparison here.

I told a jeep group full of hicks that I supported their right to fly the loser flag mostly so I could tell who was a loving retard from miles away and you should have seen the anger that was spewed. Most told me to go gently caress myself, and that I was wrong and an idiot, and that the confederate flag was JUST THEIR OPINION MAN and gently caress YOU FOR TELLING ME NOT TO and gently caress YOU SHUT UP YOU DON'T NEED TO VOICE YOUR OPINION. I don't understand why they're allowed to have an opinion and I'm not.

I'm visiting Japan this summer (5 weeks total) and just bought A Thing:  660ccs of raw 4WD power  It's a '99 Mitsubishi Pajero Mini that I picked up from another foreigner for ¥100,000, or ~US$820 thanks to a weak yen. A friend and neighbour of my girlfriend's was kind enough to let me title it in his name (GF doesn't have a license, would have made employer/apartment manager suspicious), in exchange he's got the option to buy it from me at a mate's rate in a month after I leave, if he wants to keep driving*. Alternatively he sells it and wires me the money plus whatever he wants for his time later. I'm pretty happy with the price, car is a bit old but only sitting on 105k, just had a major service in April for shaken so tyres and belts were replaced, along with a few other misc things. I'm pretty confident I'll get most if not all of what I bought it for back, might even get lucky and turn a small profit selling it to someone at a nearby US military base. My GF has had some unexpected stuff come up on the weekends so not getting as much time to travel with her as I'd hoped, but I should still have fun tooling around in it during the day while she's at work. I used to tear it up on logging roads with my XR250 back in the day, might try out the 4WD. This is my first manual, although I've been riding motorcycles for years and was acquainted with the basics prior to purchasing it. Still not terribly smooth going from 1st to second (and sometimes third), but generally I'm doing OK and rather enjoying it. Currently waiting on a supplementary insurance policy for it before I start driving, which will probably be Monday... it's killing me looking out the window and seeing it sitting there.  *He's nearing the end of his 1 year allowed on an International Permit, and as an American has to take a pretty demanding practical test to convert to a Japanese license. I passed it on my first go when I lived here (mostly luck and good schmoozing skills at the testing centre), but it takes most people several attempts, I could see him not wanting to bother if he has trouble getting used to a manual.
