“chingadera”: figuratively, ‘thingsmajig’ or ‘doohickey’, literally ‘fuckerator’

“mamadas”: figuratively, ‘bullshit’ or ‘makework’ or ‘flattery’, literally ‘blowjobs’

To destabilize black communities and disrupt their growing social and economic power.

It was explicit racism.

Chicago, and same, at least among college friends. And neighbors. Many work colleagues are renters, though.

Assume? No.

Conclude? Depends on the evidence.

Are you the same kid who was asking about this a week or so ago, or do I have to start from the beginning?

Cheeseburgers are a delivery mechanism for pickles.

I’d like to talk about this for a minute. Y’see, I realized this myself, some years ago. And if the best part of the burger is the pickle, why am I eating a burger at all? Why don’t I just eat a sandwich stuffed with cheese and onions and pickles and lettuce and condiments?

So that’s what I do now, and I’m happier for it.

I’ve never had that, but I don’t watch video on my phone. Or anywhere else, most of the time.

It’s a fallacy called “begging the question”, a form of bad faith. The question itself assumes something false to be true, then asks a question based on that false assumption.

“I’m awake.”

A couple hundred, and I use them. A few comics I share whenever they’re relevant, some of the maintenance pages for my personal site, arrival times for my nearest bus stops, minecraft server maps, and the rest fall into three broad categories:

• culinary recipes I’ve made in the past

• game wiki pages and gameFAQs guides

• shopping lists / gift ideas

These are all organized into folders and subfolders. Well, not all. But mostly.

Jules Verne is very well known, the podcaster is full of crap.

The theory of general relativity. Honestly, I understand it better now, and it’s still pretty crazy.

But we’re talking here not about single-occioant positions like president or premier or prime minister, but about proportional representation, which only makes sense in the context of multi-seat positions like city council or legislatures.

Don’t be like me, I cheaped out and hired a guy just out of art school. His portfolio was good and his pitch was reasonable, but he just wasn’t able to deliver. His photos were fine, but he took soooo long taking them, wasting time on our wedding day. He wasn’t able to –or at least, he didn’t– edit them to the level discussed in the pitch. And he took zero candids.

Thankfully, my sister-in-law bought dozens of disposable cameras and left them on each table. The guests took some amazing pictures of each other and of us, and all but one of our favorites came that way. Even if you have the best photographer in the world, I recommend doing this, you’ll at the very least get some glimses of moments that you’ll be too busy to witness in person at the time.

I don’t want to wear the same thing as last year, and I don’t want to half-ass it because it’s my favorite holiday, so I start planning it in July, and the plans get more and more elaborate, until finally it’s October 29th, I’m scheduled doubles the next two days, my perfect costume is elaborately planned… but I haven’t actually started on making it yet.

You and me both, cousin.

it was a wild few months

As someone who’s actually had this problem (in an urban area) and actually solved it, here’s what I did: Changed the shape of my fence so the amount of privacy the serial shitter was afforded was significantly reduced. Changed the position of my gate so that it no longer opened near the convex corner the shitter favored. They found a better spot and moved on.
