The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Funerary_Doom]

Currently having one of the most intense and aggravating debates over facebook messenger with my siblings about voting.

I wish to share, but its probably oversharing. For those who dont think black people can be conservative and yet somehow still pro-black... very interesting mix.

Oh yeah, we are on different floors of the house too. 21st Century!

The only way I see that one could be conservative in this cycle is to bow out and then try to defeat whoever wins 4 years from now with a candidate that is even a little bit conservative.

Yeah, I have two who aren't voting because as my brother put it "Clinton is good for feminists, illegal immigrants, homosexuals etc... but is not doing anything to a thinking, intelligent, heterosexual black man." Hot mess of a fucking election.

What I don't get is what makes black people think sitting out on an election will have any positive effects on getting better options next time around. If anything, low voter turnout would probably embolden the major parties to believe they can get away with nominating less desirable candidates. I'm not even going to go in on how many black people are STILL denied the right to vote in many areas through underhanded voter suppression laws, which was enabled by a too conservative supreme court who overturned key aspects of the voting rights act. NC anyone? But... whatever.

I'm going to have a drink.

I reject this idea that the black vote is being suppressed due to voter I.D. but I believe we had this debate in the Mort thread or something, but I don't think a low minority voter turnout will lead to that, because before Obama there always was low minority voter turnout. So after Obama it will probably just go back to that trend.

Actually Obama's minority voter block has shot Hillary in the foot, because that voter block doesn't seem to care about Hillary and so Obama is having trouble passing that block down to her. They got behind Obama because obviously he was black but also because he promised change and jobs. It was bullshit when a black guy said it so that block is hardly going to go crazy over some white rich woman who called black men super-predators in the 90's.

"Clinton is good for feminists, illegal immigrants, homosexuals etc... but is not doing anything to a thinking, intelligent, heterosexual black man."

Your brother sounds like a great guy.

I'll have to check the Mort thread, havent really been doing a full sweep on this forum too much lately.

He's a funny dude. Very similar to some personalities here, guess why I stuck around so long.

Just read that Hillary has drawn a brutal amount of first time Hispanic/Latino/Mexican-American votes. Trump is done lol.

It does show their power though; despite stealing a bunch of supposed blue safe spots in the east, he lost Nevada and Colorado by fairly large margins.

 

[CiG]

Lol

I was wrong as fuck.

Fucking literally drove 800 miles today. Ate 8 whitecastle burgers on the way home. Feeling fairly rotten. Came home and downed 3/4 a bottle of some shitty pinot noir because it was the only alcohol in the house.

 

[CF87]

Nothing, people have been paying my electric bill for 3 months and now I have to pay them back. And i'm fucking sick and tired off getting an electric bill every 2 days. I'm going to move into a hotel in bumfuck Egypt, like I use to.

Hey @Krigloch the Furious are you the one that likes Buffalo Trace? Drove past that place today. Wanted to stop but my day was just dragging out too long.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

@Krow Yeah man, love BT.
Great tour too

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Buffalo Trace is fucking GOOOOOOOOD shit. I'm so fucking used to Canadian Superior plastic bottle pints that literally anything is good.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Sooooo bummed! Leonard Cohen just died!


In memory, one of my favorites from him

 

[Blind Guardian]

Speaking of dying, I was at a funeral today and when we were leaving the chapel my dad took out his phone and took a picture of the coffin. That's so inappropriate Larry David could center a whole CYE episode around it.

The older I get the more I love Bill Burr, and I'm not even sure he really qualifies as a comedian.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Burr has surpassed Louie imho

Not sure he qualifies? watch his last special
