Yeah, the dude I called lived in a much more progressive sect. He was actually the “cab driver” for his community, which is why he had a cellphone. He also had a computer and a very rudimentary website for the stuff he was selling in the classifieds.

I once called a guy about something he was advertising in the classifieds. I called him on Easter Sunday. He answered, but said he needed a second before he could talk.

Turns out he was Amish. I called an Amish man on the phone… on Easter Sunday. He answered… while he was in church.

I called an Amish man on his cellphone, which he answered in the middle of Easter mass, to talk about his classified ad.

This was the most tame interaction I’ve had with Amish folk. They’re fucking hardcore.

You know that scene in Parks and Rec where Ron Swanson tips a jug of moonshine up onto his shoulder and pours it down his gullet? I’ve fucking seen a bearded guy with a big hat and no buttons do that IRL.

The Amish know how to party.

Gotcha.

That’s not the point.

Lol. Sure sure.

Oh no. Some myopic hexbear reject goons want to call me a lib. How ever will I go on living.

Yea I too like to infantilize people I dislike, this makes me feel super smug and superior.

They ARE wrong though. They’re acting like we’re only getting mad about one thing at a time. What kind of smug asshole goes on the internet to peddle moral superiority over strawmen?

Nope.

My first and middle name are the first and last name of a very famous comedian/actor/writer. I was born in 79 during the height of his wild crazyness but my dad swears up and down that it had nothing to do with the choice of names. I’m just very happy this particular comedian is still a beloved and respected figure with no major scandals or skeletons.

Speak what you type out loud. If it sounds like you should be rolling your eyes as you say it… or if it sounds exceedingly sarcastic as you say it, chances are you’re going to come off as condescending intended or not. You provided a good link, don’t ruin it with unintentional attitude.

Please re-read my statement. I didn’t say you are against trans people. I simply said that these are discussions best left to a person and their physician. As a cis man, I should have as much say in the matter as I do on abortion or breast reduction or hysterectomy, which is none until it directly involves me or my immediate family.

Those are rational concerns. They really are. And these are all concerns that a physician could address when talking to their patients who might be starting to question their gender. And that’s how it should stay.

All that to say that unless you are a trained physician, or are an adult experiencing gender dysphoria, or are the parent of a child experiencing it, it’s none of your business. Trans people exist. Let them exist peacefully.

It would only be ironic if god and heaven were real. Otherwise those duplicitous fucks go to their graves never knowing true retribution. My only hope is that they die with the uncertainty of not knowing, and their last few moments of lucidity are spent in internal existential angst.

I thought they already handled this…

Drew’s Script-O-Rama.

He’s been running the site since 95. I’ve been visiting since 96 or 97. I even provided the hardcopy for the Big Lebowski shooting script which he posted a few months before the movie premiered.

Piedmont. From CLE to OWB. This was probably 87 or 88?

I’ll never forget the day when the movie theater I used to work at got a brand new Soul Calibur arcade cabinet. Me and my coworkers put more money into that game than the customers ever did.

Voldo was the shit.
