In São Paulo it was a little mini-assault.

You'd get shoved from behind, maybe bumped into from the side, while yet another guy is actually taking your shit. Extra credit if you're at a curb so you stumble.

Then everybody splits, your instinct is to turn around to see the guy who shoved you, by the time you've done that and realized what happened, your shit is goooone.

What are they doing in Paris that the mark has a chance to grab them? I guess if you're in a reasonably athletic pack of 4-5, but at that point surely there are easier targets?

I suppose people who don't watch American sports don't appreciate that there are many obese Americans who can still run 40 yards in six seconds and expertly smash you into the ground when they get there.

All my life I've been hearing propaganda tarring all Jewish people as being murdering racist colonizers.

It's very strange that that propaganda is now coming from the government of Israel and wealthy Jewish people in the US.

Seems like a really stupid and counterproductive move, but I'm sure they know what they're doing.

Oh, many many of them.

Sometimes text-mode, sometimes fundamental-mode, sometimes picture-mode, tex-mode, ess-mode...

And they thank you for your compliance.

We're all making friends here aren't we.

But seriously, the party doesn't even respect the primary elections that I have been voting in as a registered democrat who has given many small-time donations and all of my votes over the years.

They didn't follow our own organizational rules, why should I trust them with my money? They already have my stinking vote.

Penises don't have bones in them, overall body size is a poor indicator of penis size.

Not a dollar to the DNC or a DNC candidate.

Never, ever again.

You know, working together on something outside might be absolutely the ticket. Genius.

This place actually kinda kicks ass if you're there. It's a strange project to have taken on, but it seems to have been done sincerely.

The botanical gardens nearby are also nice.

Broad nose, similar beard, similar smile... Without my glasses I could mistake thumbnails pretty easily.

Well those sound like people who aren't good to open up to.

I do sympathize though, I pretended to be a guy for several decades, and my wife put exactly the same kind of duality on me that men put on women.

I was expected to be sympathetic and nurturing in some contexts and aggressive, jealous, and demanding in others, and I was just supposed to know when to switch.

And there was an amount of vulnerability I was able to display, but beyond that I'd get told to suck it up.

I think somebody needs to come up with an ad campaign that's Therapy For Men. Big sweaty hairy guys with thick beards looking after each other's mental health like BROs. It worked to get men to use soap.

(Seriously, I think counseling is too female-coded for a lot of men to be comfortable with it unless they're fucking the person, or they start to want to fuck the person because they're unused to talking about things).
