Never heard of that name before, so I googled it. Holy shit. Guys, if you haven't heard of Rachel Dolezal, google it. It is a WILD read.

It reminds me of this local wrestling character. "Malcolm Farrakhan". A combination of the names Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. Played by a 90lbs 5'2 white guy, who surrounded himself with a group of big muscular black guys. One of which you might remember from WWE in The Nexus as "Micheal Tarver".

Well, Malcolm Farrakhan was as white as could be, which was the whole joke. He didn't do blackface (thank god), but his whole schtick was screaming "I AM A VERY LIGHT SHADE OF BLACK!!! I HAVE BLACK HERRITAGE!!!" meanwhile the crowd laughs at the absurdity, as a group of 4-5 black guys all act like they fully believe him.

Wrestling is weird, and not meant to be taken seriously.

But this Rachel Dolezal essentially did the exact same thing a decade later, except in real life. Just less cartoonish about it.

Which is pretty fucked up.

Wrong sub.

I'm confused. Wouldn't transracial just be "mixed"? Like one parent is white, one parent is black.

Mixed baby.

Never heard someone refer to it as "transracial".

Oh....apperently I'm too evil to be a cashier.

I wouldn't murder. I would go about my day, without a trace of evidence that I'm even angry.

I'd just come over, help the guy, and take note of his appearance, and the current time. Then I'd head to the back after my shift, and talk to the security guy. I'd make up some reason I have to check the security tapes. But I'd do it in a way that sounds like it's just buddys being buddies. Nothing suspicious.

Then I'd watch the tape 10 minutes after the encounter. I'd watch the parking lot. See where he goes. Find him getting into his car. Take note the make and model of the car, and the liscense plate.

Now I use public records to track him down. I find out his name, his address, his work, his life. I find out everything I can about him.

Now I hire the biggest musclehead there is. Not to beat him up, but to have an affair with his wife. Make his wife feel properly fucked and orgasm multiple times. Make it a regular thing. All without the wife realizing it's a ploy.

His marriage ends, as his wife no longer loves him. And NOW the real plan can commence.

I'd hire a woman who looks visually similiar to his wife, but much more dominant. I'd hire her to seduce him, but also take control of their relationship. She'd have him whipped, and play off his emotional insecurity that he would lose her if he doesn't do what she wants. And she'd get demanding, and have him whipped.

She would eventually take him to an actual dungeon. She'd get him naked, and tied up, laying on his back with his ankles being worn as earrings. And as he'd tied in that position, completely vunerable, that's when I emerge from the shadows, revealing my master plan for revenge!

Except, it was a forgetable moment, 5 years ago. He has no idea who I am. Doesn't matter. He's already in position, and I've worked too hard to get this exact moment to where it is.

He's totally exposed, vunerable, and can't move.

COMMENCE THE TICKLE TORTURE!!!

........part of me wants to know the middle name. Part of me wonders if that might be doxxing him at that point.

Because middle names are weird, but with a name like Gaylord, he doesn't have much to risk.

He might be like "Call me Olive!"

And it's somehow better than being Gaylord in the 80s/90s.

I think I'd just create a persona. Thats what a kid at my school did. His name was Adam, but he was like "Call me, The Jew!"

Not "Jew", not "The Jew Kid" he specifically called himself "The Jew". Pro wrestling was popular, and it was like how there was "The Rock". Except he was "The Jew".

Then one kid thought it would be funny to come in with a red armband with swastika on it. He asked The Jew if he thought it was funny. And The Jew said no......with his fist. Over and over and over and over. Usually school fights had an honor to them. Kid falls down, you won the fight. You walk away. Anyone tried contining the fight on a downed opponent, and the whole crowd would step in. They'd end the fight for you, and it wouldn't be good for you.

That didn't happen here. This kid went down, and The Jew just kept punching him. Over and over and over. For what seemed like forever. Nobody stepped in. Usually during fights, the crowd was rowdy. It was exciting. This was dead silent.

In normal times, The Jew was the most chill laid back easy to get along with guy. It's 20+ years since I saw him last, and I still remember him and refer to him as that. By his request. So you can kind of get an idea of how he didn't let things get to him. No ego. Just a good kid really.

When he saw that swastika, he just went off. And everybody had the same silent collective thought. Not to step in, and when teachers get here, we all stand behind The Jew. And we all did. Literally 30 kids all got detention for a month, because not one of us ratted out who beat the fuck out of gary. Eventually the teachers pieced together what happened, when gary came out of the hospital and was able to talk again. We still had to serve detention. Even after they "knew", we still didn't talk.

And now, I've gotten so sidetracked that I don't even remember the point of this story. Other than to say fuck nazis. Fuck gary. And fuck anyone who owns a swastika armband. Gary had it coming.

Holy shit......being named "Gaylord" in the 80s/90s as a kid?

Fuck.

R.I.P. Gaylord.

May your bullying been short and merciful.

They've been doing this for close to 20 years. Ever since shortly after google bought them.

No. The issue with boeing is that they're poorly constructed due to corrupt ownership/management.

I'll put smart bets on Salt Lake City's mayor.

Well....I'm anti-AI as it gets, and I don't support this measure, but I would like to point out if you're on the floor dying, that WOULD be an emergancy call.

Weirdest episode of family fued ever....

The 14lbs one is named Torpedo? What, are you into irony? Does that mean the 6.5lbs cat just has the biggest imaginable cat dick? Like, distractingly so. Like you saw that cat, and were like "People will laugh if I named her Spotted Lady!"

This, but with your girlfriends.

You try to feed your skinny girlfriend, but the fat one comes running around the corner like "meow!"

And you're like "Pam, you're a human. Why do you keep making animal noises? You're 35 years old!"

And she just says "MOOOOOOO!!!!"

So you have to tip toe around her saying the obvious joke. It's like the elephant in the room.

And then the floor collapses, because there's not supposed to be an elephant in the room.

I think it's that the world has changed into having fractured multiple cultures.

In the 80s/90s being gay was considered by general society to be an insult. If you're under 25, the concept of something being negative being called "gay" as the standard insult just sounds made up.

But people who are 40 years old may remember being in school, and you got a D on a quiz. Your buddy might say "You got a D? That's gay."

Had nothing to do with actual homosexuality. It's just that's what society was. Being gay wasn't accepted, and it was cool and trendy to hate on gays to the point that it wasn't questioned if you called anything bad "gay".

It's impossible to place an exact date on when the culture changed, because it likely changed at different times for different regions. I assume California was the first to change.

I first noticed the shift in pop culture around 2003. There was a russian pop singer duo/band called tatu. Terrible music, but they kissed in their one hit wonder music video.

The reactions I saw on MTV were people saying they were brave for being openly gay. Whereas if it would have happened in the 80s, I'm sure they'd have gotten death threats.

And I STILL see people who don't accept gay people.

So society is now fractured on what popular belief is. Now it's more like several circles, who all have different views. As opposed to one giant unified viewpoint, with those not conforming left on the outside in the underground.

Because that's just one topic. There's other people who are ok with gay people, but not ok with trans. So thats another circle. Now imagine every single viewpoint which has a counter viewpoint.

Whereas in the 80s, something like 92% of the vote went towards reagan, and everybody conformed to the preapproved normal viewpoints. We don't do that anymore. We each find our own meaning of normal.

Now me personally, I don't find giving a nazi salute to be normal. But you'll still find herds of people defending musk. You'll also find people like me who say fuck musk, and fuck any self identifying nazi. So, another example of how different people are now in different circles.

if we want to make any kind of progress.

The people who own this country DON'T want progress.

Plot twist, you now ordered bleach as a topping on your pizza.

Sooooooooo, universal basic income?

"I would like to buy this mansion for $1.00."

"This home is 100,000,000"

"This home is $1.00"

"This home is $1.00"

"I would like to buy this home for $1.00"

"Thank you for your purchase. The title is now in your name."

Would a commercial with Jesus on the cross saying he is thirsty and having a Roman Soldier pass him an ice cold Coca Cola be better?

Yes. PLEASE put this on the air. I am begging someone to make this a reality. Also, full disclosure, I do enjoy watching the world burn over stupid shit. Christians losing their shit over THAT commercial would be comically delightful.

The spirit breaks under the crushing weight of capitolism.
