Re: Ask RM
It's one of those things where, he knows his heart is in the right place, but he uses key words or phrases that rub you the wrong way. And even though you're his friends, you judge him harshly. If you see through the mechanisms at play, he's just your friend goofing off cause he's bored. Goof off with him, give it a try, give him a hug and enjoy your Friday.

What prompted my initial, highly insensitive post was seeing such a couple while looking at giant tortoises on vacation, and I just thought, “I would be mortified to be in public with her.” I felt bad for the guy. Sex would be completely out of the question.verb_to_trust wrote:I see stuff like this and think: I could not get hard for that. My wife works out.

Not for the tortoises though. One mounted another and went to town turtle style for a couple minutes while making little grunts. It was beautiful because it’s nature, but felt super rapey at the same time. We just stood around smirking and holding back laughs as young kids asked what the turtles were doing.

I just heard through the back channels that macchiato has officially been banned for at least one week. The mods are giving themselves some time to talk it over, but it seems like Mecca is really pushing hard for a permanent. Team Mecca. Enjoy the week off, RM

Re: Ask RM
Why do you feel it necessary to be so cruel towards fat people?
My cousin is quite overweight and her and her husband have a great marriage. They go on lot's of vacations together and really appear to be enjoying their life with each other. She's also one of the nicest, most genuine people I've ever met.
But I guess to you the only thing that matters is that she's fat?
I'm going to add here that my instinct upon writing this out is to just hit the back button and forget it because there's no point in engaging with you or Verb, but fuck it.

I feel worse for the type of pathetic imbecile who spends his weekends making this type of post and compiling Elon Musk tweets on a message board.
