Quoted from DanQverymuch:An actual book which somehow wound up in my possession
[quoted image]
I love those oddly-specific books.
My wife says the answer is “A”, so in most of our house the loose end is closest to the wall. It’s B in the basement (she never comes down here).
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:You can’t swing a cat by the tail in this thread without hitting someone who thinks they are the moral authority.
Seems to me that the guy in the truck is the one who is asserting moral authority. He’s clearly triggered by trans women.
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Why do you assume the truck owner is referring to a trans person? After all, no pervert would ever conceive of falsely pretending to be gender dysphoric in order to enter a women’s bathroom, would they?
Seems like an oddly specific threat then.
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:If you think that is appropriate moral behavior on the part of the offender, then not much else I can say about it.
My beliefs are much more controversial than that: I think Led Zeppelin pro is a hell of a fun game.
Since the trans jokes don’t seem to be going away, I want to explain why I’m an advocate, then I’ll STFU and go back to just posting funny stuff.
When my kid was around 17 or 18, he struggled a lot. A woman a few years older than him took him under her wing and really lifted him up. If you’re a parent, you know that a peer a little older can have way more influence than we can as parents, because “you just don’t get it, you’re too old.” Every parent of a teenager knows what I mean.
Anyway, she was really kind of amazing, and we became friends. A few years after the kid went off to college, this friend said they now wanted to be called Lou. Lou, always my son’s champion, is the one struggling now. I can’t know those struggles, because I’ve always identified as the gender I was born with. And it’ll always bug me to know that on top of those very personal struggles, Lou has to deal with people who won’t accept them anymore, or think it’s a phase or a choice or some kind of acting out. It’s hard enough. So, keep the transphobic memes out of this thread, please.
TLDR: you can’t be anti-trans and pro-freedom at the same time; pick a lane.
Quoted from MMP:You'd fit right in over here.
More polarizing BS. Not funny to half the population of a country you don't live in. Welcome to the ignored.
Yep, there’s no place for pure partisan political crap in a pinball forum, much less in a thread meant for humor.
Quoted from oldskool1969:Oh oh, I don’t know what I posted but someone got but hurt.
Care to remind me please? Thankyou
Your president t-shirt. Nobody cares who any of us voted for here.
EDIT: looks like the mods agree, it’s gone.
Quoted from poppapin:Would probably fare better in the basement, less butthurt!! It's like hanging out in a dive bar!
Yeah, go [edited for niceness] your stupid political memes there.
Quoted from poppapin:Correction, they're funny political memes.
There's also so much material to work with!
Whatever helps you cope, man. Enjoy your safe space in the basement.
Quoted from girloveswaffles:As long as we're crossing MEMEs here:
[quoted image]
I love meme inception!
Quoted from oldskool1969:sorry Yanks, us Aussies take the piss out of anything and anyone
I’ve got some great political memes, but I keep them to myself. Feelings are still raw about a lot of things over here, and I’d rather not lose a single pinball friend if I can help it. Maybe we can swap making fun of US/AUS instead.
Quoted from oldskool1969:I just didn’t notice your white horse you were riding.
No white horse here. I can be as big an asshole as anyone. Just look at the threads I start when I’m drunk.
Quoted from Flowst:Ill regurgitate an old one.....

There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:Them? If by them.. u mean humans.. ya, we got a couple! Ya redneck! Having a bad day? Tell us what's really bugging you!
I think he’s bothered that he had to go back 80+ days in this thread to find something to comment on.

I remember in 5th grade (mid-70’s), they did an anti-drug push and played Curtis Mayfield’s “Freddie’s Dead” in my classroom. We thought it was the coolest song ever. “Everybody’s misused him, ripped him off and abused him, another jughead plan, pushing dope for the maaaan”
We lost our Corgie Ronan to cancer about 5 years ago. Sweetest boy ever. The cat in this picture (Jack) still sleeps in the dog crate because he thinks he’s a dog.
I made a little memorial page for Ronan here: https://swampfire.smugmug.com/Pets/Ronan/

Multitasking.
I’m not judgemental, but that latex fetish is one I just don’t get. It just looks super-uncomfortable.
Wow, those doctored images are crazy! You really can’t believe your own eyes on the internet.
(BTW I am not a kid smoking a pipe, sorry to mislead)
If I were JohnnyPinball007 I would take this personally! (by the way my name is John, and I’m neither a toilet or a hooker’s client)

My favorite episode of Andy Griffith is the one where Andy explains to Opie how the world works: you put in your 8 hours a day and you try to make ends meet. Opie’s quiet, so Andy says “How’s that make you feel?” and Opie says: “Makes me kinda sad.”

Huge correlation between how many tats the cook has, and how good the food is.

Some choice posts from r/ATBGE (Awful Taste But Great Execution). It was hard to find these SFW posts on this subreddit, lol.

Was it you?
Now I remember the meme, and it was quite obvious who is "fucking stupid".
Wasn’t me. Pinside mods are smart enough to recognize a political post without my help.

Quoted from poppapin:[quoted image]
I have a recurring dream about trying to handle “friendly” tigers, and I had it again last night. Last night a huge tiger opened his mouth real wide and was about to chomp me, so at the last second I put my pillow where my head would have been. He chomped down on the pillow and I got away. I know that these tigers are a metaphor for the many projects I have going on at work.

On my first date with my wife, I took her out to eat and brought her back to my place to enjoy the dessert we brought home. While I was making the coffee, my roommate’s dog ate both desserts, got really sick, and basically wrecked the mood. But I should have known better.
Quoted from Oaken:Every week man. Every. Week.
Every dad, at some point:

Don’t get ejected so fast! I was starting to like your posts.

Just a week, if my thread eject was typical. Enough time to make me think more carefully about what I post.
