Last time I went to a WH it caught fire. Luckily I was able to finish my meal before having to exit the building.

Note to self... do not invite WLJ over for dinner.

    Amber McLaughlin is set to become the first openly transgender person executed in the U.S. https://t.co/pLYDTwjwYB

Yeah, maybe she should have raped and stabbed that other woman.

But wait for it

Quote
Larry Komp, McLaughlin’s lawyer, told the Associated Press that McLaughlin’s gender dysphoria diagnosis is a part of the clemency request but “not the main focus.”

But I thought being trans was perfectly sane and normal?

Yeah, he's pregnant...... or something. It gets even weirder than that.

The Joker gets pregnant and poops out a baby! DC Comics goes FULL gender identity with Batman!

You got to be *expletive deleted*ing kidding me!

Quote
A former Austin, Texas Waffle House employee, who became a viral online sensation after coolly deflecting a chair that was chucked at her during a melee, told Fox News Tuesday that her superiors rewarded her by writing her up for property damage, and she has since been blacklisted by the restaurant chain.

Quote
"I actually didn’t get any bonus of it. The only thing that I did get from the fight was a write-up for breaking the sugar shaker. You know, telling them – them telling me, you know, hey, we’re going to write you up for the sugar shaker, but you did a good job protecting the store, making sure that you were all right," she said.

However, when Booth tried to get a job at a Waffle House restaurant in a different state two months later, she was told she had been blacklisted from the restaurant chain, she told Carlson.

The shocker is they didn’t terminate her immediately, which is standard corporate policy if you ever have to defend yourself.

By current far(4)-left thinking*, this is true, and as it should be. One can only be represented by someone of one's own identity. And being just a boring, gross white guy, I have no identity, and deserve no representation.


*That's far (to the fourth power) left thinking, and you're right. It's not really thinking.

Helpfully inform them the pronouns you use for yourself are I and me. Just like everyone else who speaks English.  ;/

Seems as if "they" did the same to my profile.  The assigned pronouns have been changed.  Nextdoor has been informed the proper form of address is "Your Majesty".

    The term ‘obese’ is a slur because it is used to dehumanize us and harass us. It’s not because our feelings are hurt by an ‘accurate description’, it is an outdated term that does more harm than good. And as such, it should be eradicated. That’s it.

I always thought "fatso" was a slur and "obese" was a medical description. So how is the medical profession supposed to refer to unhealthfully overweight people? Because "overweight" is offensive as well, right?

Oh, wait - I guess the medical community has chimed in (though I can't tell if this guy is for real or trolling):

Also, how does someone who's a vegan get as fat as she is? She's humongous. That comes from donuts, not kale.

How about Severely under tall for their weight.
Oh and obesity is a disease now? They should have worn a mask then.

You know, the right kind of mask would actually work

On the trans-craziness: consider all the not-so-attractive, single women out there, and all the time and effort and money they spend trying to look good and smell good, and trying different dating services, and going out to different places. All the fretting, and complaining about how they can’t find a guy, and all the good guys are taken, and I really thought Steve would be The One, but stupid Jessica that always looks perfect without even trying came along and stole him – all that, plus the money they spend on bad-break-up ice cream.

Then some guy puts on a dress and some make-up, and complains on Twitter that all these men are "trans-phobic," because they're not all lining up to take him out. They'd better not say that stuff in the cat food aisle. Those lonely girls might get violent.
