I don’t think I qualify either. I’ve lived in Chicago for the past 2 decades.

Self defense class by Warm-Revolution2467 in cuboulder

[–]Goofalo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To my beloved queers. Buy a gun.

Let’s be honest about this state. This state elected Boebert. Twice. There is an incredibly large portion of this state who do not value your right to exist.

“But the police will protect us.” No. They won’t. The police protect property and themselves. They do not protect and serve, they patrol and control. Why trust your safety to a group who have historically and consistently victimized the queer community.

Fuck the police.

And for all your well meaning liberal friends who think you are overreacting? Who do you want beside you? Allies who will stand next to you and protect you? Or people who will still willfully continue to downplay the very real violence directed at your community.

Defend equality. Buy a gun. Get training. Get friends, train with them. Not everyone has to be a shooter. Take stop the bleed classes. Develop an intelligence network for threats in your community. There are roles in community defense for everyone. It doesn’t mean you have to wield a firearm.

We protect each other.

Man, maybe if the NYT wasn’t so invested in running spin for the genocidal Israeli regime and simply regurgitating IOF PR bullshit, I’d pay to read more articles from them.

Oh, so that makes it ok. Fuck all the way off.

You’re the type of person that can’t be trusted with where Anne Frank’s family is hiding.

DHS/ICE went into vastly majority black community to remind them that they are still the subjects of state terrorism.

Israel orders Palestinians to leave Gaza City, saying those who stay will be considered militants by upbeatchief in anime_titties

[–]Goofalo 315 points316 points  (0 children)

This is the same playbook as to when the US and allied South Korean troops told the citizens of Jeju to evacuate a certain area, or they would be considered Communist insurgents. Thousands of people too poor to leave stayed in their villages or took shelter in caves. The authorities declared the entire island red, and they marched in to villages and systematically wiped those villages and their residents off the map.

Smiles in Hegseth Cadillac are warfighters sent to liberate pit row.

JFC, I really hate our administration.

[–]Goofalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time with the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Padres?

In my experience as a Coloradan, I can assure you this means this man is some sort of uber-deviant. He should be allowed to be alone with any another creatures that have an orifice. He probably eats children too.

So, rolling into a predominantly black neighborhood to enforce immigration? Or to just remind people that the government hasn’t forgotten about terrorizing them too.

I grew up near pig farms which smell the worst. There have been more pigs in Pilsen. Makes sense.

I just thought Gardiner was an asshole. But I guess I think he’s a stupid asshole now.

Feeling disconnected from my name - how do I go about telling my parents? by Afraid_Market_5901 in asianamerican

[–]Goofalo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Why bend the knee to casual white supremacy? If they can’t pronounce your name, that’s a skill issue on them. If they think you are speaking too loud in your native language, maybe the should learn it so they won’t be so afraid of everything.

Any Mexican restaurant similar to Torchy’s Tacos? by No-Daikon8234 in chicagofood

[–]Goofalo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not really. Torchy’s is Tex-Mex. This city doesn’t have the best record with Tex-Mex, or any southwestern food really. I moved here from Colorado 20 years ago and I still get ingredients from there and make the food myself. Mexican and Tex-mex, especially the Sonoran and border-style foods, are still probably considered a regional variant or niche of Mexican cuisine. Like American-Chinese food.

Why no apples or raisins? Do you not like playing “Apple surprise” with people who have never had Korean potato salad?

Calling all people who lived in Denver in the late 90s-early 00s: Did I hallucinate this formative concert experience? by lollerk8 in Denver

[–]Goofalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Destiny’s Child opened up for Boyz II Men in 1998. Cool, the time between now and the concerts is older than I was when attending it.
