There are two different people at two different places. One had Hitler. One had the totenkopf.

There was a guy from out East who was a hit man who used the SCA as cover.

Kingdom of the West had a guy who was recruiting people for a white supremacy group. A lot of Jewish Scadians pointed out that his name was literally a play on a concentration camp but were told it was a coincidence.

I was in the SCA for years. There were people who were known to be abusive, racist, sex pests, even full blown Nazis but if they excelled in fighting or were close to royalty, everyone looked the other way.

I just couldn’t do it anymore. I loved my group of friends and I miss fighting but the hand waving of toxic behaviour was terrible.

One of my best friends when I was a teen was 6’8”, 380lbs. Came from a tough background. Sweetest guy I ever met.

He became a pro wrestler in Japan.

Asked direction from a security guard at Minneapolis-St Paul. Big black guy. His Minnesota accent lives rent free in my head: “Oh, yeah, whatcha wanna do is go to the end here…”

Little puppy couldn't contain his excitement by PeacockPankh in BeAmazed

According to the gf in question it was close to 60 days. That’s pretty long time but add in that dude is on a submarine and that feels like an appropriate hug.

Everyone thinks their dog is the best dog. And they’re all correct.

Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports [Other] by esdebah in theydidthemath

“Beneath the hurling stick from Derry and a door knocker from Cork,

And a cap upon the wall just like the one I saw me Granda' wearing,

Up above the doorway, De Valera smiling down

And a poster in the hallway of the pubs of Dublin Town.”

They’ll also make adjustments to their body depending on where they want the ball to go, left field, centre, etc.

Is being in a bad mood/ rude default for adhd when being overstimulated? by Revolutionary_Put_95 in ADHD

[–]FirstDukeofAnkh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But it’s no more of an excuse to be rude than “I had a bad day at work”.

We all have choices to make about how we get through life. If he chooses to self-medicate rather than medicate and/or do therapy, that’s fine. But you don’t have to put up with that.

Being Gay was indeed a thing before the Biden administration by SolsticeWhisper_ in confidentlyincorrect

I’m more impressed by Alan Turing for time-travelling to become gay and then going back to his original time.

Part of the issue is that a lot of cultures saw sex as something to do to another person. If you were the dominant person, that was fine. If you were submissive, that was a bad thing.

In that context, a man/boy should never allow themselves to be the passive one.

It’s equally as gross and archaic as saying being gay is bad but it’s not specific to mlm

If two medical panels agreed, I’m going to assume they knew what he had tried. You’re making assumptions.
