Iâd like to call this post
A Thousand the Hard Way

Number 9. Number 9. Number 9.

What about the queers building landing strips for gay martians?

What if the glasses are key to the simulation in which we exist?
Iâm fairly sure the bbs is an elaborate way to ensure I never get government clearance.
Damn you bbs, I am Sooo disappointed!!!
Falcor is not a conspiracy. Falcor is a donât push your luckdragon.
What if @beschizza âs safe is just a way to keep us coming back to Boing Boing, to see if heâs opened it?

Holy crap! I live on five acres of land, I wonder if that is enough for installation? Of course, I bet there are county regulations about itâŚ
And itâs a million or two, so itâs not like I can afford thatâŚ
This is a killer. Iâm with Mindysan on trying to split a place, because that would save a ton on food. I hope things improve for you soon.
Man⌠I have been fortunate. No idea what you should do. I wish I could help but I have no income right now. How much longer do you figure youâre gonna need to save money? Is there a friend you can crash with for long enough?
I really hope things work out for you. This sucks.
No, SF. This hotel has zero amenities but Iâm termed out next Friday. If they let you stay >30 days apparently you gain all sorts of tenant rights and can be a pain in the ass to evict. Some of the other places Iâve stayed have minifridges in the room and microwaves in a communal area (and civilized bathrooms! and maid service!) but those are at minimum $120/night. Nice enough inside, but the neighborhood is thick with crackheads and junkies and other people who have very loud vocal problems witâŚ
My shift ends just as BART shuts down, so Iâd need a car, at which point I might as well live someplace like Pacifica or Crockett/Port Costa. Itâs under serious consideration. I like driving and I like small waterfront towns. I could hang out at Sea Bowl!

Really, really wish I could help. I found a room in EPA for 900. Is Caltrain/Bart an option and going to SSF, Oakland, Hayward, etc?
For food I could donate a rice cooker, that and a hot plate served me great in Phoenix while I got on my feet.
One thing I could do if youâre interested is physically check out rooms or locations on weekends. I also have a decent car and can move a moderate (moderate! :D) amount of stuff.

I hadnât read all the comments. Sorry for the dupe info.

I.e. grotesquely, blatantly corrupt, to a degree that would be felonious in most of the developed world.
The Republicans have been attacking her for just about a quarter century because they donât like her husband. This cycle, Bernieâs supporters piled on from the left. Itâs pretty much that simple.
Clinton is very popular when sheâs in office, and largely unpopular when sheâs running for office, which might suggest that sheâs better at doing the jobs than she is at being a politician. Weird that thatâs exactly what people claim to want and yet when they get it, they whine that sheâs (1) not puâŚ
This whole âpolitical violenceâ thing, do you mean things like the woman who attacked two other woman because they were wearing muslim headscarves? Or the attacks on and jeering of those who look Latino?
No, seriously, who has been assaulted for being a Republican voter?
A Muslim candidate wouldnât.
This is late stage bigotry, at the national level.
Solid trump supporter there⌠but yeah, Trump isnât stirring up any racism⌠itâs all in our heads.
What if I donât believe America is in two exclusive camps, but a varied spectrum of different interests and opinions, of people who may be willing to compromise on one thing or another and often vote the options they can find accordingly â but also think that throwing your enthusiastic support behind someone whoâs whole campaign has been built on promises of stamping down on minorities means you have deplorable views?
Is that allowed? Or do I have to pretend supporting the R and D party are alâŚ

While I general vote leftist, third party, because my state has in recent years been safe for the republicans, this year, it might not be the case. I will not vote to allow Trump into office, as much as it pains me to vote for someone I disagree with so much.
Imagine what will happen when someone tries to take a carton of Coke Zero from the bottom of one of the towers to put in their cart.
I donât get it. Whatâs âgrotesqueâ about it? A bit tacky perhaps, but I really donât see any problem with a display like this. Some people just like to be outraged at something all the time I guess.
The idea that the Coca Cola corporation would ever try to use patriotic sentiment as a way of selling beverages is just offensive.

This is the US prison system. Decency was gotten rid of long ago.

My theory is that the universe is actually a fireworks display on some planet in an even larger universe.
Great article. Welcome back, @Cowicide !
Neoliberalism, from this point on, will not have the cover it did before the Sanders campaign. . . . The fantasy that only neoliberal stalwarts have the competence to handle money and defense has been shattered. . . .
[T]he key idea progressives should take from his winning campaign is that the first and most important thing to do is to change the terms of discourse, because to speak in the other sideâs language is to concede defeat.
Ugh. Your âmoderateâ GOP choice, ladies and gents.
I imagine the twitter statement was by his team, not him, too. Unless he refers to himself in the third person. Does he do that?
It is telling that the story is reported as a security issue instead of on the merits of the rules issue.
Itâs a good thing itâs a long weekend, because I have a lot of drinking to do.
Hereâs some good news.
Zephyr Teachout won her primary for New Yorkâs 19th District.
Should be a toss-up in the general election. The Republican incumbent isnât running again.
He was also more recently in Scott Baio is 45 & Single, & Scott Baio is 46 & Pregnant.
(Neither show revived his acting career.)
All these folks are people who seem utterly desperate to remain ârelevantâ, and itâs kind of repulsive to witness.

So for lack of a better place to put this, I mocked this tweet:
with:
then the Trump supporters started liking/retweeting itâŚ
I guess that makes sense, but wouldnât it also apply to the Tom Hanks example? Back in the 90s plenty of people (that is, more than today) talked about homosexuality as a âchoice of lifestyleâ rather than an inherent human trait.
The other tricky thing here is that, quite frankly, I think a lot of transgender people would prefer to just be themselves. If youâve transitioned and now identify as female, and youâve always felt female, then most likely youâre going to prefer to identify as a female actor, rather than specifically a âtransgender female actorâ whoâs limited to those roles.
Transgender people donât want to be seen as just trans. Theyâre men and women.
Now see, Iâm not interested in SRS, but if something like that was available it would make life so much easier, especially for people like myself. Today, Iâve been more female, but tomorrow I mostly have to present as male. Transformation magic for the win! *Poof!*
I actually think most of your post here is good, but I have to correct that one. It would be easier if most of us figured out that we arenât our assigned genders early in life, but itâs just not always that easy. (This is even moreâŚ
