truth bombs

Circular firing squads are OK as long as we're all firing outwards.

However there are a lot of posters who just straight-up aren't willing to accept that other viewpoints exist or use THAT as a springboard for massive character judgements on issues that they barely understand themselves. Not "here's what's wrong with what you said" but rather "here's what's wrong with what I hope you meant".

if you'd rather wait in long-ass line for a free promotional slurpee than just stroll in on the other 364 days and throw down a $1.50, you could learn a few lessons on being an adult, imo

i don't get to say it a lot but whiney otm

i never considered the weird relationship many ppl have to time/money/"free stuff" as an aspect of adulthood/maturity but ok

adults who buy slurpees worst rikki lake episode ever.

people who make calls on what is/isn't adult to do aren't very good at being adults ime

Any time I see someone using "Barack Hussein Obama" I immediately tune out.

one thing we can definitively say re libertarian demographics is they are all white guys

I have a theory that you can generally tell how far you are from the subway in queens and brooklyn by the number of american flags you see

Do people steal the flags, then run down into the subways?

I think it's more that historically, conservative middle/working class neighborhoods fought to keep subways out. Iatee can probably correct me if I'm wrong about that, but he probably can't write a five paragraph explanation because he's on his iphone.

I think you can say that's broadly true, true in some places and more 'would have fought, as similar neighborhoods have, and so it was never a thing to fight' in most. prob a bigger factor is the sorting that happens on its own - new immigrants / young people less interested in moving to those neighborhoods, so they don't de-archiebunkerfy.

Yeah that makes sense. Also if you work at, say, a port, or in an industrial zone, you're more likely to want to live somewhere inexpensive with houses and where you can have a car, and that comports with the whole blue-collar flag-displaying demographic I guess.

so why don't people display american flags near subway stops?

or at subway sandwich shops

Because people steal the flags, then run down into the subways.

there's a joke here about Whiney and flag posts in here somewhere that I'm too lazy to compose right now

One is more likely to encounter the flags of other countries while walking in a neighborhood that is serviced by subway stops. Proven: subway stops are un-American.

post 9/11 a lot of immigrant families took to hanging flags in front of their homes, outside their businesses and mosques as a way of self-identifying as american
at least that was queens. never went away.

we dont need to turn this into a NYC subway thread but the neighborhoods in question are the ones w/o mosques and w/ mostly 2nd/3rd gen ethnic whites

I like to say that you can tell you are close to a subway when you see flags and mosques, but not when you just see flags

thats how i locate subway stations

2nd/3rd gen tumblr whites

another good indicator is when you see korean restaurants near subway stairs, you are near a subway, but if you just see korean restaurants, you are probably in korea

that happened to me once

hurting.....check this out....they have subways in korea....i know dude, i know, we're all pretty excited about it

I have Korean restaurants near me but not subway stairs, I am probably in Korea.

tell klinger to dress like a man!

lol

um, last time I checked, korean subways are accessed by fire pole, not staircase. Nice try.

ahhh dangit those cutups in the swamp replaced all the staircases with fire poles, winchester is gonna be pissed

lol matt

I think something about the college application/essay-writing process has fucked up a whole generation. Like all these people are out looking for the slightest 'experience' to happen to them so they can blog about it.
