I still only have ever heard "Tim shot Eric dead." I've never seen it any other way except in this headlines.
But we absolutely see backlash of the type of "why does he have to be gay" in response to something as simple as two men holding hands, or other things that would never be seen as "making a point to mention someone's sexuality" if that sexuality is straight. I'm generalizing away from this particular example and addressing the idea that anything that isn't cishet is abnormal and requires justification.
At a press conference today, Musk was quoted as saying:
Look at me. Look at me. Please, God, I need people to be paying attention to me and validating me all the time. Ever since I fucked it up with my hot goth gf I've been an absolute mess of transparent attempts to remain relevant. I tried to gain your approval by doing what I guessed would be cool guy shit like going on stage with Dave Chappelle and yelling at you small people about how rich I am. I did the meme thing with the fake money and the fun monkey pictures. I spent billions evading your blocks on Twitter. I give up. You don't have to love me. No one will ever love me. But I need you to always be looking at me.
Musk then produced an acoustic guitar and began to play a cover of Matchbox 20's "Push". According to reports, the entrepreneur who used his slave-generated wealth to build a private space program was on the verge of tears as he sang the line "Don't just stand there/say nice things to me/cuz I've been cheated and I've been wronged".
I always thought of it like sending my kid to college. Doubly so because the money I got from selling my '72 MGB sent me to college.
My whole family was into vintage British roadsters. If you're willing to work a bit and to flip them after you've had your fun, all but the first one pay for themselves.
He made it clear that he'll let them hurt the people they want to hurt. That's what conservative politics is: a list of enemies and strategies by which they can be harmed.
He's a repeat offender. He was convicted on multiple counts. Strictly speaking, he's not just a rapist, he's a serial rapist.
But I do think we'd agree about plea bargains. They let the guilty off scot free and let the overworked, underfunded judicial system off the hook when it comes to innocent defendants.
They don't have any problem figuring out what to charge me after I sign up. Whatever process they use for that they can use to tell me what it's going to cost before I agree. Unless internet access is like healthcare and nobody has any idea what anything costs and your bill is full of $40 Advils and charges for services you never received.
They won't leave people to die! That would be terrible! They'll just shoot the criminals, the victims, a few bystanders and any dogs they happen to see on the way.
why should one side strictly obey the rules of chess when the other side has kicked over the board and pulled a gun? at this point, playing fair would be Ukraine engaging in a full-scale invasion of russia, kidnapping russian children and shipping them back to Ukraine.
You've got a bit of a catch 22 trying to make shrimp stuffed braciole because traditionally braciole is tougher cuts of beef (when nonna taught me we used round steak) braised in tomato sauce until the heat and the acid tenderizes them, but braising shrimp for that long is gonna turn them into chewy, flavorless lumps. Upgrading to ribeye (that I assume is both butterflied and pounded thin) and cooking less is an interesting way to try to solve that problem
