  • What difference does most of that make? Sharing a room with others, sure. But I don’t walk around the house hanging dong just because I sleep in the buff. I put on some pj pants and a shirt, at minimum, to leave the room. My roommates have never cared what i slept in as long as it didn’t flash them on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

    My wife and I have our own room. I have a door, it is shut at night while I’m asleep and doesn’t open again until I get dressed in the morning. If you open it in that time and see penis and scrote or hairy ass cheeks, that’s on you. I don’t care if you’re a roommate asking me a question, a 6 year old that had a nightmare, or a fireman saving my life. You know what you risked when you turned the knob. If you give me a second of heads up or wake me and then wait for a sec, I’ll put on something. But I’m not sleeping in twisted up boxers with sweaty nuts sticking to my legs to make life more comfortable and convenient for everyone else in the house.











  • Asked in the interview whether U.S. citizens and noncitizens alike deserve due process as laid out in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, Trump was noncommittal.

    “I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t know,” Trump said when pressed by Welker.

    Do you need to be a lawyer to be aware of the Bill of Rights? He’s been President for more than 4 total years, head of the executive branch charged with executing the law for the entire country, has a whole staff of lawyers advising him, and has, himself, pled the 5th (!) and he’s still not even familiar with the 5th amendment?




  • Also, even the reputation he has was bullshit propaganda. The common canon of the story is that Columbus knew the Earth was round and everyone else told him he was crazy, that the Earth was flat and he was going to sail his crew off the edge of the world. That’s not remotely true. Everyone knew he Earth was round. It was completely accepted and common knowledge at the time.

    They did call Columbus crazy and say he was going to kill his crew, though. Not for believing the Earth was round, but for believing it was about a third the circumference that it actually is and was essentially known to be. The reason people didn’t sail west to get to the Indies was because it was believed to be (and is) a loooong fucking trip. He disagreed and thought it would be about a third of what everyone else knew it to be. So he only stocked the three ships with enough supplies for this much smaller distance.

    He sailed his men west past the point of no return to what absolutely would have been their certain deaths. And they got close to killing him over it when their supplies ran critically low. Had he not lucked out and found land WAY fucking early and nowhere near his destination, he would have been remembered, if indeed he were remembered at all, for being a complete moron, because he was. He was just a moron that got saved by dumb luck.

    And that’s the “heroic” stuff that we’re meant to applaud him for, independent of the horrible treatment of the natives. He only got a holiday in the first place because Catholics wanted a American figure that represented them and so they lobbied hard for it. The guy was not an aspirational figure though. He just had good PR for a long time.
