Charlie Kirk

[spike]

I'm sure it is tiresome to you. My beliefs don't match yours. But you don't have to let my posts make you so obsessed with me. I'm just some random asshole on the internet like everyone else. It's really not that big of a deal.

Please stop. You just have shit political takes.

[Bammer]

Man, we get 3 posts whenever a bunch of school kids get killed, but one racist, misogynist creep gets shot and tada! 12 pages. Maybe Charlie Kirk was the key to common sense gun control. I can't think of a better way to honor his legacy.

I put it in the "not worty of a thread news" thread because it was about the 13th or 14th most significant thing that happened last week and you freaks spun it off into its own standalone thread!

Lol you’re trying too hard

Ruminate on the phrase "play the ball, not the player". Or scream into the abyss.

I have an amazingly easy test for that. Let's see who can go the longest without mentioning the other personally and just stick to the topics. It's a game we can both play! Ready? Go!

my plumber arrives at noon

i strategically positioned a local minor-league baseball team's giant foam hand at the foot of my staircase where he will walk to project homeland masculinity

my hope is the symbolism offsets some of the other potential signals present in the home

the goal is not to be so conventionally masculine as to invite additional discussion on this topic

moreso that it is enough to dissuade from assuming that i stand on the other side of the topic

which, in his own words during the assessment visit, could result in physical harm to myself or another customer

we pray for safe install

if it starts to go awry, tickle him.

Maybe try jiggling his handle.

that would be way too lib

if it takes a turn I will just start blaming Fauci for things

like when my pool fence installers told me Fauci created AIDS

i can channel that character

then he will put the large wrench for head-bashing away

bammers online beliefs are also very tiresome but in person he is an absolute delight and i wish he would move to minneapolis so we could be best friends.

His boys are fantastic as well!

[96583UP]

toilets are in

what a day

lost power twice

dude who did install not only brought up CK un-prompted but gave me an extended political world view rant plus personal life story session for like 15 minutes waiting for his partner to arrive

i won't repeat everything that went down out of respect

but suffice it to say there were times i was in shock

not really able to make jokes about it

things got very dark at one point

at least he closed the conversation on a positive note that what is important is that people have good values

i need a drink

[96583UP]

one of the slow-close seat lids doesnt slow close but rather than calling them to come fix i just ordered another one on home depot

not going through any of this again

Oh these are my real life beliefs, I only “talk” about them really when anonymous online or if I wanna piss off Mrs. Bam (which I’m careful to avoid - not worth it! - yes my wife is slightly woke), or argue with this one guy in our friend group who we refer to as The Troll. Well actually there’s another person in that same group who is a total libtard so I’ll mix it up with her occasionally as well.

I have learned it’s best to keep real life conversations just a little more neutral. Obviously.

My role professionally is to very much approach things with a “two sides to every story” mindset and seek the most fair resolution.

Strat has great hair. Awesome guy. Kind of a sloppy eater though.

PS - He did try to bait me into a conversation about Ibram X. Kendi and I was like, no man I’m good, how about those Timberwolves?

Plumber booked in for two weeks from today to replace the cistern in our downstairs tiolet.

nice

i support this

[96583UP]

tbh i kinda miss the guy

we had a bonding moment

kind of like in one of those movies where a cop goes undercover with the 'bad guys' and then gets so close to them he starts to learn their ways / views, have empathy for them, and has to face a choice later on at a pivotal moment whether he will turn them in, or fight with them to defend them from the police

maybe we are all on the same team

we just take a really really really really long time to get to a point where we realize we think more closely about things than are evident from the first few sentences

[simple schoolboy]

Are we renaming this thread "Charlie Kirk: a dialogue with your tradesman"?

[Rangi Guy]

Just to bring Sailor back into the mix - I will point out that our plumber is a South African rugby fan. Lovely chap depite this
