It was 1990. Everything you did was on paper. I had to mail in my desired class schedule and got zero classes so I had to wander (pardon the fuck out of my early morning typo) around with a bunch of paper add slips trying to get classes.
So very much not in a fucking mood for pedants right now.
I don't know why we're even remotely concerned with some businessmen, well respected in their communities, conducting perfectly reasonable financial transactions when just last week, I saw a BROWN person in an orange grove, taking all the jobs from "the blacks" and forcing them into poverty!
Heavy /s though with use of actual sound bites from our burgeoning overlords.
On the one hand - big boobs, small boobs, big dick, small dick, short, tall, fat, thin, young, old, whatever quality, people have been happily fucking for the entire history of the species. Internet outrage at any given body type as being unacceptable is akin to virtual media eugenics and is stupid.
On the other hand - big boobs, small boobs, big dick, small dick, short, fat, tall, thin, young, old, what quality, I tire of both the media and its detractors telling me that I MUST be arbitrarily aroused by any given person because it satisfies a given narrative. This particular person is not sexually attractive to me not because of body size but because I'm old and she looks like a child to me.
Love who you want to love, fornicate with whichever consenting partner you wish. Take love where you can find it, and be happy when you can attain it.
On an unrelated note, one of my favorite lines came from Barbara Ehreinreich, though I can't recall which book, and I'm going to heavily paraphrase as I don't recall the exact quote: "The media was horrified to learn that elderly, wrinkled, fat couples were rolling around in bed together and enjoying it."
My parents have long since passed on, so it's not even possible. I may end up living with my daughter later down the line. I'm SO single and solitary (by choice) that I'm concerned about going all dementia/stroke/heart attack later on with nobody to tend to me, so I'll likely lean on her when I'm in my mid to late sixties or so.
She's getting everything I own, and I should have reasonable retirement funds, so it's not like I'm going to rely on her financially.
My big mistake was fucking up on getting myself long term care, which I no longer can do unless I get a new job. My employer and I mutually fucked that up when I started at my current job.
Fun quotes from my daughter, around age ten or eleven: "You're going to be the cranky old man that we grudgingly take on vacation with us." and "You can always live in my basement."
And yes, we have discussed this topic. I'm not unilaterally just saying this on the Internet.
Funny thing, I think back to how batshit that education was, and I'd say it was way more moderate bordering on sensible compared to the horseshit they teach today.
If I had fewer scruples, I'd find out who the construction contracts for new prisons go to and invest all in. This guy is gonna get in and imprison a whole lot of people. Like a lot a lot.
He's been shitting over this entire thread so hard I'm concerned about burst hemorrhoids. Some weird combo of herp derp Americans bad, big vehicles good. All of it nonsensical.
First I wondered if the post had it spelled incorrectly.
Then you had me wondering if I've been spelling it incorrectly this whole time.
Turns out extravert and extrovert are both acceptable spellings but extravert did come first.
