Are you the goon that had fond childhood memories of a pool hall that had no customers where his old Italian uncles and vague "family friends", many missing fingers, would get together and have coffee on weekends?

They were a kid and they'd get given a bunch of quarters to play arcade games. That post stuck with me for some reason.

Nah that was a separate goon. Similar set up though, my great grand father owned a bar that had a certain back room I was under no circumstances to approach or go into when "business" was being done. It wasn't until I was older that some of the "business men" never coming out and late night private trash pick up stood out as weird and that's when I found out all kinds of things

I was too busy getting to play with the soda gun behind the counter to pay attention at the time :unsmith: the family friends always were nice about letting my constantly fill glasses for them

One of my grandfathers fought in Korea with two brothers. They were deployed very near to each other and when one of the brothers was KIA, my grandfather and the remaining brother flew in the same helicopter with the body to get off of the front.

I didn't learn that until I was older. A far more relevant war fact I discovered right away in my childhood was that, in his final years, his farts were weapons-grade and still burn with infamy in the olfactories of memory for our entire family.

My grandpa was a marine on Guadalcanal and was in Johnny Basilone's squad. His brothers in law were in the navy. One during WWII in the pacific. The other merchant marine in WWII, airborne ranger in Korea (white guy in a black battalion!), navy diver, and eventually captain of the ship that recovered the shuttle tanks/boosters.

A reminder this was the cultural attitude towards the grandparents we've been talking about before the war:

"I wonder if they have it in 'em. Been taught a lot of nonsense in the last twenty years. Learned to distrust everything. Don't believe that you can get anywhere by hard work. Don't believe that anything in the world is worth fighting for,"

All her white rich bitch bullshit is catching up with her and when faced with a Biggie/Tupac situation the public at large seems to be finding Katy Perry less offensive, despite releasing an album that nobody likes.

Also Nikki Minaj is on Team Katy, and she's apparently a thought leader among people who care about pop.

So she copied all of Life of Pablo for merch, Rihanna's Anti for the album cover, and Beyonce's Lemonade visuals for the video. Too bad she's a poo poo songwriter, she might as well steal from Drake's ghostwriters while she's at it.

La Diabla Blanca is pissed and despite wanting to be "excluded from this narrative" she goes on to continue to coast on painting Kanye as the angry mean black man, even though she was caught lying out her rear end about in one video. She literally checks him in her lyrics and is embracing the wave of racism against Kanye by trying to reclaim being called a "snake".

I'm not here to defend Kanye's crazy rear end but rather point out that this white demon is happy to embrace racism and has yet to give any fucks about BLM, protesters, Trump, etc. Her father is a rich af Trump supporter so we basically know where she stands.

My mother's father was a helicopter pilot who did two tours in Vietnam and then crashed during a routine training mission in California a decade before I was born. I never got to hear him never shut up about it...

This is a way you can help *right now* from where you are with Port Arthur. People are calling out for rescue on twitter. We're trying to get them emergency numbers.

1. Search for "port arthur" or #HarveySOS. Look for recent tweets from people who need urgent rescue and send them this info:

One of my grandfathers was some kind of government worker. I don't know which kind exactly. Whatever kind gets repeated personalized letters from three different Presidents and that no one in the family really liked to talk about in detail. Everyone who could have given me the full story is dead by now anyway.

Another one was an ex-cop who tried to "retire" in his forties on a disability scam but got busted when he was spotted re-shingling his roof when he should have been in bed.

Haha I accidentally started a many-pages-long grandad chat. Guess I should contribute to it!

I thought that on dad's side, grandpa wasn't old enough to fight but that's okay because there wasn't a lot Estonia could do against the Soviet Army. Later, the family fled with the retreating Wehrmacht because some had been collaborators and served in the Nazi puppet government. Grandfather later became a top-tier physicist and worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for some years before returning to the UK. Then a few years ago I learned he wasn't my grandad after all and I have no idea who is except that he's some Irish fella, just that my grandma cheated :v:

Mom's side, Granda Jack was also just too young, but he worked at the Belfast dockyards as a teenager. One of his older brothers served, was shot in the head and had to spend regular time at the Franciscan Convent because it caused chronic headaches so painful they maddened him with rage, and the Sisters were willing to risk that whilst taking care of him in order to protect his family or regular nurses from his wrath during those times. (Outside of those episodes he was apparently an extremely kind and classy dude so it wasn't a cover for just being a poo poo). Later, after he died, his wife went to inform the office of it so they could end his pension payments, but after checking his records they informed her they would quietly continue paying them to her. None of the family has any idea what's in those records but we assume it must be something supremely badass.

She is basically peak becky for many reasons, but the main one is she is still incredibly salty about the Kanye interruption at the VMA's which includes her lying about OKing lyrics about her and releasing an album dissing him with his own font on the cover, on the anniversary of his moms death, and mimmicking Beyonce's lemonade aesthetic.

also she's probably a low-key trump supporter
