Re: Footnote:

(I'm not happy) My condolences. I have absolutely no desire to ever visit Las Vegas. Particularly after the Con Air mob smashed the plane on the main street. Look at the bright side: You could be stuck out in Jean rather than Vegas proper. Jean is a kind of a cut rate version of Vegas where the cas...

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing

From a SJW's exam paper: Got to say that I don't find the picture of the commercialised, fake, shallow, blonde bimbo at all appealing, but the other two chicks are HOT. Bzzt! Wrong!

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing

What I don't get: since all this xi and hir shit is supposed to be genderless pronouns, why do we need more than one?
