The pics thread

[damnromulans]

I never dated that guy. And it's the army, which is pretty much auto gay.

Just uploaded pictures from today. The baked eggplant is probably the best food I have ever had.

Why is that every man you've dated has been caught in the gayest photos? I mean come on...getting a head-shave by a sweaty topless chubby man?

Like he was allowed to have a pick of who he wants to have it done by?

A fantastic old thrash band, Frozen Doberman, that I grew up on in high school back in the early 90s did one of their last ever shows. Tight as fuck, and fuckloads of headbanging by everyone in attendance. Great night, and totally chuffed that I got to snap some pics:

flickr links broken, is the album private? "this photo currently unavailable"

 

[Hubster]

Original post should be fixed now, sorry about this. Other wise, you can see the album here.

Awesome seeing someone else dig that band

Looks cool Srontgorrth, reminds me of the Sony Center at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin.

Yeah that does look fairly similar, very bright and futuristicy and damn cool.

In the USA you can gauge how wealthy and educated a place/school is by the percentage of Jews - if a place has lots of Jews and Asians it's bound to be a low-crime, high-income area.

This has been very true in my experience

It's kind of hilarious that you people have never met Jews.

This. There were easily 300+ Jewish kids in my high school and they're all over the place around here. The stereotypes are definitely based in reality.

lol, jews

Poor people like myself almost never socially interact with Jews. "Racist" or not, the fact remains that Jews don't socialize with "commoners". I had to meet wealthy people before I met a single Jew.

I've known plenty of non-rich Jews. In fact, I've never met a rich Jew in my life. All the rich people I know are hispanic.

That pretty much describes where I grew up.
And there are rich Jews, poor Jews, and a lot of middle class Jews. They tend to clump together, so if you live in an area where rich Jews live you'll think all Jews are rich and if you live in an area where poor Jews live they'll all seem poor. In America Jewish communities can sometimes be pretty closed off to outsiders (I guess that's a natural response to getting fucked up by everyone else for a couple thousand years).
Suparmurat, if you came to Brookline MA, which is a heavily Jewish, middle-class, liberal area, you would meet tons of Jews who would chill with you because they're pretty assimilated here. There are, however, a number of conservative families who don't even interact with assimilated Jews and send their kids to different schools and shit.

And none of this has shit to do with race or religion, it's all a question of where you come from.

Wait I remember actually meeting a jew once. It was an old man who had been in a concentration camp who came to my school and talked, number marking on his hand and all that. It wasn't really relevant to anything, from what I remember at least. Jews get too much exposure, just like the Irish.

*edit* That is, people talk about them all the fucking time (something which I'm contributing to right now )

The holocaust made them historically supersignificant.

edit: although they had little to do with it.

Awesome seeing someone else dig that band

dig? i fucking worship them

 

[waif]

just like the Irish.

um what? Is this just a conspiracy to complain about every element of my ethnic heritage? Because I come from a heavily Irish city and people still don't give a fuck about the Irish.
