Thanks! Much appreciated.

Kinky.

Oh, that’s just Margot. Don’t mind her.

I can imagine the ruling class to still have their pissing contests with other billionaires from their secure bunkers. Eventually they’ll develop bunker busting nukes and everyone will be gone.

It’s all so depressing. I know it’s not going to help but I need a drink.

How very optimistic of you. I’ve been a little more despondent about our future. I doubt we’ll still exist as a species in 2090.

Southern iced tea is Lindows. Does anyone remember Lindows? It’s called Linspire now.

It means you drink your coffee with your pinky out.

Imagine explaining this headline to somebody in 1890!

Gambling is your solution?

It happens.

Yeah, there’s that too.

The rules are not for the rich.

It’s me.

You seem to keep trying to bring me into your arguement. I was not arguing all that drama. I was just saying your islamopobia was showing. That is all.

Please realize, I am just an impartial observer and your aggression doesn’t seem to help your agenda.

She refuses to let me tell her why I can barely function. She refuses to let me describe what I’m going through. She says she “can’t handle it”, that “it’s not a top priority right now”, that she’s “trying to understand” why I’ve made this “choice” while also telling me things like “but I like you the way you are” and rejecting any information I send to her because she’d rather consult her friends that she “trusts more”.

She starts to have a panic attack whenever I try to talk to her about it and God forbid I tell her that she made a mistake because then I obviously hate her guts and want her to die. She’s literally accused me of that.

Those paragraphs reminded me of the [email protected] community.

Except that the person is intentionally misdirecting the entire convo in order to invalidate an entire highly problematic edifice of issues.

I did no such thing.

The widely-used definition of “Islamophobia” does much the same to insulate Islam, the religion, from criticism as well, allowing all sorts of horrific things - from honour killings over sexual slavery to apostate killings - in the name of “protecting Islamic values”.

My Muslim neighbor seems pretty chill. I doubt he partakes in honor killings, sexual slavery, and/or apostate killings in his free time.

There are extremists in almost any facet of humankind, especially so when religion gets involved. It’s best not to paint everyone with the same brush.
