The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Not because I'm particularly afraid of being attacked, I am reliably informed by a number of people that I am fairly intimidating, even if I don't feel it myself.
My fear is that I would be one of those jackasses who walks past someone else in trouble, that I would quietly and internally declare it not my business and try to pretend I'd never seen it.
In other news, I hope this doesn't linger with you in a bad way, Pooro, you seem like a chap I could buy a beer for and have a quiet word with.
Down the hall I have neighbors that are a colorfully mohawked, overly pierced gay couple. One of them got locked out on his way home from work while the other was at the bar, and I helped him out by letting him stash his bags in my place while he went to scrounge the bars for his other.
The other finally showed up, only because all bars closed half an hour ago, and damn he gave me the dirtiest look when I was handing the bags back over.
It's stories like this that make the Boondock Saints and Rorschach so popular. You just want to find people like those hick bastards and just hurt them. Just hurt them.
Oh god I sound so sick when I read that back to myself.
I'm 6'1" or 2" and fairly stocky, 200lbs ish, dress like a cross between office worker and indigent vagabond, so walking around at night in the city is never fearful for me. There's been a couple of times where some drugged up person has tried to turn around and follow me for a block or two but I just turn around and let them pass me by and nothing happens.
Sometimes on Friday or Saturday nights, I'll carry a knife in my pocket, for "just in case", but my real plan is always "run like crazy right into the 24 hour grocery store with the security guards and on-site police crew"

I really can't believe you get that much shit in LA
aren't we supposed to be all progressive and shit in California?
Ain't nowhere in the country to write for a living but L.A., and ain't nowhere in L.A. I can afford to live but here.
So it comes down to dreams or safety, and I'll pick dreams every time. Bruises heal quicker than what-ifs.
All this terrible shit and you're still able to keep that attitude.
I'm completely serious when I say that you're an inspiration, Pooro. As someone who is now thinking very hard about what they want to do with the next ten years of their life, I'd love to be doing what you are.

Yeah, someday I'll figure out something that's appealing about this state, other than the agreeable climate. Well, and my industry is mostly here I guess.
Just trying to make you feel better even though it seems like your actions have no consequence now
You just never know
Eh, considering my mugging, this recent gay bashing, the time I got called a faggot and thrown into the trunk of a palm tree, the time a guy in a pick-up shouted "faggot" at me from a pick-up and threw a tennis ball at my head, the time two rednecks tackled me and tried to steal my wallet.
Given I didn't do shit to instigate any of it, and considering nothing I did after the fact had any effect, I'm pretty sure my actions have no consequences.
I can only deny facts so long.
I'm sorry for all of the horrendous shit that happened to you, but why haven't you left that godawful shitstain of a place? I mean, one is an incident, two is a coincidence, but five is a definite pattern of abuse that, judging by the number of incidences and your location, which judging by the reference to palm trees, is in the South, suggests a community that really, really, hates gay people and people who look like gay people.
Seriously, get out of there.
Ain't nowhere in the country to write for a living but L.A., and ain't nowhere in L.A. I can afford to live but here.
So it comes down to dreams or safety, and I'll pick dreams every time. Bruises heal quicker than what-ifs.
Also, holy moly Muse, that is some make-me-feel-guilty levels of nice. I ain't deserving of sympathy on that level. I'm frequently a dick.
I highly doubt you are dick enough to deserve that. You'd have to be tossing kittens off highway overpasses or something else equally horrendous before it can even be considered. And even so, it is still disturbing due to the homophobia that instigated it.
Also move to a gayer part of LA.
Also, you're in LA? I'm in LA. Crummy LA (the Valley . . .).

But what if Pooro goes to the police station
And none of the mugshots look right
And then he starts wandering around the station and it turns out they were policemen!
And then Pooro has to go hide out in Amish country
i'm actually sorta stunned that this kind of random violence is a thing
i mean it's happened to me but only because i am white and people want my things
the idea of a hate-motivated attack is simply baffling to me. why
Ugh Dog. I'm so ___ right now, but I love you dudes
I know you fuckers got my back. Did I tell you how that ___ is now my superviser?
It's terrible, that punk isn't even ____
Oh shit - look at this ____,
Let's teach that cocky _____ a goddamn lesson.

It's ok, I'm only half joking

It passed in LA:
LA county: 50.1% for
Orange County: 57.7% for
Riverside County: 64.7 for
San Bernadino County: 66.8% for
Ventura County: 52.9% for
whats up w/ that
Whoa
:^:
I'm a fucking dog and you're asking me my opinion on redevelopment agencies?
oh god which line was I on
Errday.
I'm not joking
Or a taser
edit: oh yep he did.
POORO BUY AN IMPACT BATON OR PEPPER SPRAY OR A TASER. APPARENTLY YOU LOOK GAY AND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS SCARY.
Ask for something nice
and violent looking
Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)

rick scott was pretty good actually....
now we have a fucking fascist in office but still
I'd probably be better off just shooting my mouth off on the entire midwest, but a lot of people really like those states, so maybe not?

Yet another thing to go down on my bucket list.

Or some stupid dialog of that nature.
Some parts of Northern California are really pretty.
For example
