RedMercury

Got pulled over with a crack dealer in my passenger seat, gun under his seat, him holding several $20 bags. Took a right without stopping on what barely was a red light, cop was parked in a lot to the left with no lights on. Was sure I was going to jail but had to stay calm, dude swallowed the baggies before the cop walked up to the car. I give him my papers, I guess his cop sense goes off and he has out get out of the car and sit on the curb, we're fucked. It's an old guy cop too, no nonsense.

He comes over to me and separates me from the other guy, he asks me "now look, I'm going to search your car, I'll have the K-9 unit come out if I have to, I want you to tell me right now if there's anything in there you don't want me to find". I only had a second to think, I was trying to keep cool. I told him there was a pot pipe in my center console. He tells me "if you're lying to me, you're going to jail."

So he goes to the car, right to the center console, takes the pipe out. He asks me if that's it, I say yes, that's it. Cop paused for a while, he tells me to get in the front seat of my car and turn it on, but keep the door open. I do so, and he walked behind the car and put my pipe behind my back tire, then he told me to slowly back up, which I did, smashing the pipe.

That was it, I got a ticket for running a red, he said we were good to go and that he appreciated my honesty. Drove away, pulled into a McDonalds parking lot so my passenger could throw up the baggies that had been sitting in his stomach for like 20 minutes, had those broken, maybe even had one broken he could have died.

I haven't gotten pulled over in ages though, it's been at least 10 years.

That's a cool story, bro. He should tell it again

The fucking forum snitch hangs out with crack dealers? 

[ClothedMac]

Would it hurt you once to not be whining about everything?

Is it bad that I know who it was even if I have them ignored? Heh.

Hey, I actually really appreciate that. The several rude messages I've received have been disconcerting and out of character for this board; this is a nice reprieve.

I've seen my post reappropriated on other threads; I've never had somebody do that but it feels subtlety violating (that word has a wide spectrum of severity, and it may be more accurate to just say it feels bad). I think that kind of behavior is exactly what I was trying (unsuccessfully) to point out here. I don't think dragging people on the internet ever really feels that good, especially when so many of the comments are meant to be hurtful toward the individuals (and not the truck itself). Calling people Musk Zombies, fascists, incels, and now harassing myself (albeit subtly) for any push back is not on-brand for this place, or any place that deems itself a place for discussion.

I probably won't post here very much as everything I say will be kindling for ridicule or reposting. But I definitely appreciate someone being kind!

I have terrible news for you,  napk1ns.

Is reporting straight people okay to do during the month of June? I'm tired of seeing the cis straights of this thread shitting on LGBTQIA+ era individuals.

Happy Pride BTW!   Eat shit homophobes!

I haven't gotten pulled over in ages though, it's been at least 10 years.

I was living in the projects at the time, it was all around. My dad was doing it, his friend was doing it, his friend had a whole family of immigrants from Ghana living with him in a 2 bedroom apartment and he let them stay there as long as they smoked him up. Called him Conductor Dave because he had a big model train set, that was taking up one of the bedroom and the family slept in his living room.

But anyways I met that dude because there was a girl I liked, I was over her place once and the guy showed up because she was buying, turned out he lived in the same building as me just a couple flights up, we were into the same kind of music and we both did hip hop stuff, I even recorded a couple tracks with him. His apartment was practically a factory, dunno what happened whenever they did inspections or anything but I think they always gave notice, dude had microwaves and pyrex all over. I did it here and there but was always more a fan of powder, thankfully for the most part I found it easy to put down, except at the end of the night when you run out, then it sucks.


Like what, I remember it all pretty vividly, it was scary as hell. I've never really been in trouble with the law, was only detained once because they misidentified me, I thought my life was fucked when this happened.

WTF, is Red Mercury actually cool?  Jesus, what happened to make him end up as he is?

I didn't realize George Washington had someone assassinated or tried to do a coup.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Can they ban B-dubs from the thread for trolling and downplaying the Native American genocide?

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

What's the point of even saying this

Everyone knows this isn't the same country/democracy as back then

From the WaPo article:
"The notion that 34 felonies is not automatically disqualifying and a convicted criminal can be a viable candidate for commander in chief upends two and a half centuries of assumptions about American democracy."

Assumptions is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, which many subject to slavery and genocide probably weren't so conflicted about. Trump is just white supremacy in its advanced state where everyone is subject to the chaos it brings. Problem was never dealt with since our founding.

Furiosa's performance is why Disney brought back palpatines, Skywalkers and everything else they could for the sequel trilogy. People don't care how good Furiosa is as a character they wanted a Max movie. Also was hurt by people who automatically lash out at anything with female leads.

Ehhhh, people didn't even come out for the previous film.

Well, he did wage literal war against his country in opposition to the rule of law and lead a campaign that killed thousands of British soldiers.

[benji]

Also, Trump may have had some foreign dude nobody cares about assassinated but Obama assassinated two American citizens without trial including a minor, then had his spokeperson blame the minor for not having a better father.

And no, I will never stop bringing this up because "white liberals" like B-Dubs and progressives in general have never given a single shit about it. They loved it because they could use it against Republicans as proof Obama was "tough" and they never have cared about due process anyway.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Yeah but did you see Obama being heckin wholesome with Bush?

No.

I'm way too faithful and loyal so if you cheat on me, we're done.

Last time I was cheated on was when I was in a straight relationship. It still felt awful and I made sure to make a big scene about our breakup (I was young

I'm dead curious as to how the alternative system for deciding which tv shows to continue with works. I'm almost certain it involves a council of high priests deciding on our behalf.

My alternative system is better. Everyone on the planet just has the same superior taste so no shows nobody wants to watch are even made in the first place.

[kaleidoscopium]

How did I forget to include one of the best autistic girls in all of fiction and one of my big childhood crushes, Sailor Mercury!!!!

I had a crush on Sailor Mercury too (though I'm a straight male), but I wanted to know what makes her autistic.

Regarding the disparity in posts, the simple fact of the matter -- one of them, anyway, I don't mean to disparage anyone's concerns -- is that I am not Kyuuji and that's important in more ways than one. I will be working on something that can help elucidate us a bit more this month, please be patient with me.

In the meantime, there's reason to believe that even something as simple as a user posting (within reason) what act of help they've done on a given day, no matter how minor, would help with getting traffic up and countering the wall of often bad news that has to be posted in this thread as a matter of reflecting reality.

I never noticed OP is...
Scrappy-Fan92

Gender

Pronouns

No way it's a transman, so that means the "Lesbians of Resetera" can't even muster up the energy to make their own thread. I should not be suprised.

Me theorizing the possibilities of Shinji from Evangelion being trans is part of what made me start to question and realize a lot of things about myself.

Here's what act of help I've done today, I saw this and screenshot it then posted it on a far-left forum:

I can't believe Benji hasn't posted Trans Rights are Human Rights and LGBTQIA+ Voices are Valid yet.

And no, screen caps don't count.

[Greatness Gone]

The fact that most of that thread isn’t even gays or lesbians* shows how much of a social contagion a lot of modern day gender identities are. The same thread made 10 years ago on neogaf wouldn’t have had that amount of enby/trans rep, but suddenly everyone has made “realizations” about themselves based on an anime they liked once.

*as in lesbians (female) not lesbians (male)
