Oh it's no problem

2018-12-09 03:08:45 UTC  

No worries at all. I'll just pm

2018-12-09 03:08:49 UTC  

Okay

2018-12-09 03:13:36 UTC  
2018-12-09 03:23:27 UTC  

I'd be a bit nervous if they asked the baby for its opinion

2018-12-09 03:23:32 UTC  

What am I looking for, other than "Mixed"?

2018-12-09 03:38:57 UTC  

Best line: Trans kids are like vegan cats, they don't exist, we all know who's calling the shots

2018-12-09 03:54:29 UTC  

His child is mixed?

2018-12-09 03:59:24 UTC  

looks half asian

2018-12-09 04:16:27 UTC  

I'm never sure how to respond when people tell me they're just gonna leave America and go to some other country to escape our problems

2018-12-09 04:16:42 UTC  

I want to say they're cowards, but that'd imply they had tried to stand for something _before_ running away

2018-12-09 04:19:56 UTC  

How would you feel about people like me leaving, whose families came here very recently?

2018-12-09 04:20:20 UTC  

I mean, my family has only been here since the 1870s

2018-12-09 04:20:25 UTC  

>only

2018-12-09 04:20:30 UTC  

My family has been here since 1996

2018-12-09 04:20:43 UTC  

@Jacob 😂

2018-12-09 04:21:45 UTC  

and I wouldn't leave, simply because I raise this question: you're running away now. what's to say you just won't keep running?

2018-12-09 04:22:13 UTC  

but I can't control other people, obviously

2018-12-09 04:22:29 UTC  

Well, I don't see it as running away. I've always been a bit ashamed that my parents ran away from their country and wanted to reverse that.

2018-12-09 04:23:12 UTC  

good thing plane tickets can be had for under a grand, then

2018-12-09 04:23:44 UTC  

But I mean I generally agree with you that immigrants are cowards

2018-12-09 04:24:12 UTC  

To answer your question, I don't know what to tell those people

2018-12-09 04:24:16 UTC  

wouldn't it be emigrants?

2018-12-09 04:24:25 UTC  

for Americans _leaving_ America

2018-12-09 04:24:34 UTC  

Well, I mean, you can't really be an emigrant without being an immigrant somewhere

2018-12-09 04:24:51 UTC  

So both are accurate

2018-12-09 04:27:34 UTC  

@Salo Saloson I think the kinds of people your talking about generally have a deeply flawed personality already. I'm not sure if much can be done to change them besides social shaming and changing the culture as a whole.

2018-12-09 04:28:22 UTC  

that and whenever they say a place like Norway or Denmark, I just get that 1000 yard stare

2018-12-09 04:28:32 UTC  

and think to myself, "maybe we're better off without them"

2018-12-09 04:28:42 UTC  

Yooo our Weegie boi just won in UFC

2018-12-09 04:29:03 UTC  

who?

2018-12-09 04:29:25 UTC  

Elbow to the nose and follow us with RNC

2018-12-09 04:29:27 UTC  

Whew

2018-12-09 04:30:01 UTC  

Gunnar something

2018-12-09 04:30:23 UTC  

Man he had that dude in mount. A couple elbows later he was leaking.

2018-12-09 04:30:42 UTC  

Opponent turns his back and gets choked hard.

2018-12-09 04:31:20 UTC  

@Salo Saloson Maybe. I don't know. A lot of countries have a pretty bad brain drain problem. I don't think that's a risk in the US though.

2018-12-09 04:31:59 UTC  

Gunnar Nelson

2018-12-09 04:32:12 UTC  

I specifically can't really leave the US for anywhere except... Canada, South America, Africa, or Australia

2018-12-09 04:32:23 UTC  

and I'm not ditching everything just to save my own hide

2018-12-09 04:32:59 UTC  

It's a really selfish thing to do and most people seem to regret it eventually anyway
