  • Grew up in Texas. Moved recently, to another state.

    The bible, or lack thereof, isn’t the issue in Texas schooling. Nor the countrywide issue of gun violence.

    This is clear governmental overreach and defies separation of church and state.

    Fuck these clowns. Sideways, with a two foot dildo covered in shark skin. Twice, so they don’t forget the lesson.

    PS: As an anecdote, up to fourth grade I was enrolled at a christian private school. Parents had money at the time, and they were touted to have the best education. I learned more about the dark, nasty, terrible side of life there than I did any other time in school - and I watched a kid get dragged down the hall by his ear by a former marine for smoking crack in the bathroom when I was in public school. I also would have never learned how to play poker or blackjack in a public school, lol.



  • I rocked long hair from grade school to my mid 20s.

    Then, a lady friend (platonic) sat me down and had a talk with me.

    The thinning, now seemingly always greasy, strands of hair was not a good look. Like, don’t visit a playground or I would be arrested on site lol.

    So, being a metal head there are two main options, or at least were at the time. Long hair. Or take bare clippers to it.

    So, I did.

    That first winter fucking suuuucked. Still to this day, I tend to rock a hoody in cold weather, and toss my hood up to cover my head for warmth when outdoors.

    Sometimes I let it grow out for about a month before taking clippers to it again, out of sheer laziness. A month of growth, from shaved, isn’t much in the way of hair, but temperature wise it is very noticeable.



  • If a four person table has three Nazis sitting at it, and a fourth person sits down with them, there are four Nazis at the table.

    Accordingly, if a public figure makes a Nazi salute (several times) in a public live recording, they are a Nazi.

    If it walks like a duck, etc.

    They may not claim Nazism, but fascism is fascism whatever flag you wave. The individual motivators behind it are not relevant.

    Both my grandfathers are rolling over in their graves as I watch fascism goose step into America.




  • As a Texan, this makes me happy.

    I don’t believe in book bans. If a kid can read it, they should. Will they agree with the message? Maybe, maybe not. However, they were exposed to different thoughts. This isn’t a bad thing. It is up to the reader to determine how valid that line of thinking is in their life.

    The bible… whew, the bible… Violence, sexuality, fucking incest, rape, etc. It isn’t a “clean” book.

    However, if they’re gonna ban books for questionable material, the fucking bible is chock full of it.

    I say this as someone who had southern baptist grandparents I spent the summer with, and have read the bible cover to cover more times than I ever cared to, but it was the only reading material available.



  • Some office environments too.

    Last place I was at, I worked nights pretty much solo. If my wireless earbuds died, sure, I’d play it out loud. I was the only one in the building. About an hour before anyone else started getting in, if my ear buds still hadn’t charged enough I turned it off.

    Partially to be respectful, and partially because some people get offended by metal even if they can’t understand the lyrics. And I mean, yeah, some bands can have unprofessional lyrics. I get it having been in the working world so long.
