The sad part is that we are in orbit with some nuts lol. Everything that you said makes 100% sense! Thank you RE: What are you thinking about? - UltraBudgie - 11-19-2024 I am thinking I feel old.

You feel old? APOD didn't exist when I was born... Hell, the Internet didn't exist either! Kind of makes people shun me, generally. RE: What are you thinking about? - UltraBudgie - 11-19-2024 I'm so old I remember seeing some of the television shows from the late 1900s when they streamed live. I'm so old I remember having to pull cell phone antennas out. RE: What are you thinking about? - Encia22 - 11-19-2024 (11-19-2024, 03:19 PM)Maxmars Wrote: You feel old? Better times, Max. Peace and sanity, at least more and different compared to now. Here, sit back and reminisce...

RE: What are you thinking about? - Tecate - 11-19-2024 So, I was accused of racism. Me? A 58 y/o white guy? WTF?? It was from a soccer mom type that caught me off guard. I was standing there confused when a First Nations friend came by and told her that she had no clue what she was talking about. She said that if you know “Tecate”, then you know that he is not racist, he hates everyone equally!! Wow!! But then she said that no, you’re not using racist properly. We are only one race. He knows that. He can be prejudiced. Do you know what that means?? He will use “morons!”, “retards” and “pinché pindejos” (pinché means ‘fucking’, pendejos is assholes) or “ Nangos” (moron in Colima State) as a swear phrase to friends and others. But, he has a prejudice against people who are not pulling their weight. It’s not colour based, nor is it about where or when you were raised…. I was personally impressed with how much this young lady knew me. How much she has worked with me in the trenches with all sorts of marginalized people, and felt that she needed to tell folks that I’m not that person. I heard that we’re going to work together way up north again soon, and I’m pretty excited about that. She gets it. I start a new job tomorrow and don’t expect to see any “rainbow warriors “ for Gaza there, they have their own issues to deal with. I hope that I can help and make a bond between us for trust and respect. We are actually just one race…. We are all Morons and Pendejos at one time or another…. Sorry for the rant. My 2 pesos.
