My face got red like that once, and then it turned into a single mass of oozing scabs for like a week. Can't imagine the pain it will cause on a whole back.

A friend of mine went rafting down a river on an inner tube with his buddies one day and they were wearing flippers and wetsuits so their entire bodies were covered except for a thin strip of skin at their ankles. Several hours later their ankles turned the same colour as that guy's back and the blistering got so bad they had to go to hospital to get the burns treated. I got such a bad burn on my upper back one time it blistered up like crazy and then the blisters went all hard and crunchy. It looked like fuckin' Ser Jorah on Game of Thrones with his grey scale infection. Snowglobe of Doom has a new favorite as of 16:59 on Aug 7, 2017 |

Someone post that video of the older Danish guy yelling about how Norwegians are trash racists. Or was it a Swede yelling about how Danes are trash racists? Or was it a Norwegian yelling about how the Inuit are trash racists? I don't remember the specifics but it was a funny video. e. it was a Finn! Sorry for the ebaumsworld link, but it's the only on I could find that wasn't blocked in Canada. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/epic-interview-with-a-finnish-man-about-norwegians/85267344/ Dillbag has a new favorite as of 18:08 on Aug 7, 2017 |

The homeowners' association of Presidio Terrace, a private street in San Francisco, failed to pay their tax bill for about thirty years, so in 2015 the city decided to auction off the street to pay the bill. Tina Lam and Michael Cheng bought it for $90,100. They now own the street and sidewalks of Presidio Terrace - and the homeowners are furious, especially since... quote:He and his wife see plenty of financial opportunity especially from the 120 parking spaces on the street that they now control.

I once went tubing with some friends and my shoulders got so terribly burned that I had the lizard scales for like a month. I remember when they started peeling off and I'd have skin flakes everywhere Weird thing is since then I've gone tubing lots and never been burned since. I think I have secretly developed immunity to the sun.

Oh my god, that article just keeps getting better and better. Apparently, falling arrears on a $14/yr tax happened because the bills were still going to an accountant who was no longer with the Association since the '80s. quote:I was shocked to learn this could happen, and am deeply troubled that anyone would choose to take advantage of the situation and buy our street and sidewalks, said one homeowner, who asked not to be named because of pending litigation.

I can't imagine how satisfying it is to twist the knife on these people. quote:The residents say the city had an obligation to post a notice in Presidio Terrace notifying neighbors of the pending auction back in 2015 something that would have been simple and inexpensive for the city to accomplish.

I have a friend who, whenever the topic of babies comes up, always mournfully looks at me and wishes out loud she could have "a cute lil' negro or halfling baby, alas, me and the hubby are white as gently caress" to artistically translate. Yes, I'm mixed race. The topic of casual "neger" (yeah I'm sure you understand what that literally translates to) usage here comes up a lot with my black family, it's something that comes with the territory it seems. Half of them have accepted being called "neger" and half of them vehemently fight it. My black mom has a good laugh whenever someone comes over to us specifically just to say "wow you speak our language so well!!!" which would be an amazing feat if she hadn't lived here for 35 loving years. I just silently wonder why the gently caress people feel the need to patronize someone they don't know anything about. It's always older white ladies too. tl;dr Europe is p cool aside from the ingrained casual racism, schadenfreude on me for expecting better by now?

My parents' generation which grew up in the 50s and 60s only had funny old comics and nursery rhymes about those Africans with their skin so dark they'd disappear in a coal cellar! There's a brand of chocolate covered marshmallow treats (flřdeboller) that had to change their name from 'Sambo' to 'Samba' in the 90s because that poo poo didn't really fly anymore. Also called 'negro kisses'. Danes are loving trash, so sorry.

quote:In a letter to the city last month, Scott Emblidge, the attorney for the Presidio Homeowners Association, said the group had failed to pay up because its tax bill was being mailed to the Kearny Street address used by an accountant who hadnt worked for the homeowners since the 1980s.

Does intent even matter when it comes to paying your taxes? Like can I stop paying my student loans and get the whole thing wiped out in 10 years when the IRS comes to gently caress me because I intended to send the government money, I just put the check in an envelope and sent it to Washington, DC. It's not my fault it never got to the IRS! Someone who was sending those checks had the duty to notice that $14 a year wasn't being deducted from the "we got a super sweet deal on this to keep the poors and coloreds out forever" account, and after 30 years lmao.

Seems to me that it would have been paid if they knew there was a problem - and since 1980s its likely different people live there now and had no idea that there was ever a problem. Someone hosed up a long time ago, but I hate to say it probably wasn't the people's fault that live there now.

It absolutely is their fault to pay the taxes on property that they own. If they don't do it, they don't get to have the property. If they didn't pay property taxes on their house, the government can and will come and take that as well--even the ridiculously low Prop 13 California taxes.
