Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
I knew from the second that I'd go to the US for a brief and late marketing degree at my age, that I'd have to insulate myself personally from legit loving morons personally, and I've managed to do so mostly for the last two years while getting by and still "hanging out" socially, but there have always been a few lines that I've drawn where I've cut off personal acquaintances with no second thought or discussion.

The most egregious lines were obviously violent crimes or sexual assault or tolerance/downplaying thereof, which - holy loving lol that this is a thing said in the year of our lord 2017 - is still perfectly common in US colleges, but one of the most common things I've come across that I've just straight-up severed contact over repeatedly is drinking and driving.

Both the proliferation of drinking and driving, as well as its tolerance in Flagstaff, is absolutely loving disgusting, and I'm assuming this is goes for the majority of college towns. I've never - in my thirty-four years of existence - experienced either the frequency of people driving drunk/excusing driving drunk, or the audacity related to it.

People are legit loving offended when you suggest their 120-pound rear end shouldn't be operating a vehicle in traffic after "only two blue moons and a shot". Same with people my size when they can barely formulate a loving syllable anymore. "I'm 240 pounds, there is literally no limit for me to drive because I have Adeptus loving Astartes metabolism lol".

My dumb lovely country has problems and issues aplenty, and I'm not gonna stand here and pretend there's no drunk driving back home, but holy loving poo poo, the way that drinking and driving here is tolerated - despite the obvious loving consequences both in life and law - disgusts me to no end.

As someone who has threatened with physical violence and subsequently followed up on said promise for people trying to drive while drunk, this. That and fingerfucking your phone while in control of multiple tons of metal and plastic traveling at high speed are two things I will go absolutely loving ballistic over.

Growing up in New Orleans the culture of the city was pretty tolerant of drunk driving, or atleast driving after having a few drinks. You pretty much always assumed that everyone around you on the road was a danger.

My DUI is something I'm pretty ashamed of.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
This morning, I had a gazillion "x reacted to your comment on y's video" notifications, but the related post had been removed before I woke up. Another friend of mine just texted me "duuuuuude" and then put together the pieces while laughing.

Apparently, I commented "Do you not have black folks in your club?" on a friend's video of her sorority competing in some dumb dance even while hammered yesterday. Turns out her sorority sisters didn't take kindly and shat on my comment because it was so insensitive or something. Since the post was public, someone that looked to pour gasoline on the fire then shared the post in some NAU-wide social media group for shits n giggles, which kicked off a shitstorm from the local SJW crowd. At some point, my "friend" seemed to have gotten spooked and removed the post because it was getting too much traction with people that disagreed with her sorority.

She's now no longer my Facebook friend :(


Realtalk though, how hard is it to have a single black person in your sorority? I feel like following up on their Facebook page. loving white girls :confuoot:

Another friend of hers is now trying to "put it into context". Part of the explanation is that "people" just generally tend to associate with one another, no one is actually forbidding anyone from joining specific frats or sororities. Discrimination is totally illegal by "greek life carta" or something.

:lol: at both that explanation and "greek life" in general.

What a dumb loving term.

/ninja edit:

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this. A human being I know just showed up on my doorstep to "put into context" how there are sororities everywhere in the US that don't have black people.

Now that I've googled "greek life" for the first time, I can't believe how deep the rabbit hole goes. I mean, I knew frats had dumb rules and dumb symbolism, and used greek letters, but holy poo poo, there's a "Panhellenic Council".
