When I was in California last week they really were making it confusing with their bathrooms.

A place had 2 "all gender" bathrooms which in reality would only accommodate two people using the facilities at the same time.  ANother place at a female restroom, but then also an all gender bathroom.

Again, doesn't seem like the best use of space.  The All Gender room had a urinal and a toilet right next to each other.  It isnt like two dudes would be using it at the same time, and if a dude was in there no way a woman would use it.

 

Just seemed like a total waste.

Also, the stench of weed.....geesh.   Waiting for trans and you could smell it bellowing out of many vehicles, and on the drive to the airport there were waves of it enough that you smelled it easily in the vehicle.

That state is a trainwreck

Were you trying to figure out the restroom situation because you were "waiting for trans"?

For those who don't know, deadnaming can be one of two things. 1.) .....2.) Misgendering them (calling a trans woman a man)

I was a better man for not knowing this earlier, smh.   But that explains the first 15 seconds of this video.  The poor guy behind the counter is gonna get hammered no matter what he says:

The full clip of this occurs at the 12:40 to 14:00 mark (earned the #2 ranking!).  The offended party accuses the clerk of "misgendering". 

Interestingly, a mother with a small child asks the guy to watch his language, calling him "sir" - and he barely chastises her.   At the end he's swearing up and down that he's not swearing.

The last clip is a classic uber liberal.  While she's ranting about the guys protesting abortion, she throws in the random "you're racist".  LMFAO, everyone I disagree with is a racist!

Side note we had to put our 13 year old German shepherd down today. Super sad. She was the oldest of the litter still alive. Her back legs just basically quit working. We have known it was coming for about a year but this week it got really bad. In contrast my MIL a few years ago when our dogs sister was going thru a similar situation her mom refused to do the humane thing and let the dog suffer for about a year because she was too selfish to do the humane thing. And then refused to leave the house for a year because her dog died  

 

 

 

Sorry about the pup; tough to do.  Our dog was around for 15 years, followed me everywhere (since I was the rescuer I guess).  Miss him greatly, but will admit the extra freedom has been handy over the last 2 years.  Will get another one some day.

 

Speaking of pups, don’t forget the Westminster Dog Show tonight and tomorrow night!

If I was looking for that I would just follow you around.....

I don't have "in-laws" per say, but my dude's family are some of the kindest, most considerate people I know. Likewise, my family always tries to go out of their way to make him feel welcome and part of the family. I'm very fortunate in this. 
Maybe have some sort of family meeting and bring things up, with the intention on how best to solve any supposed issues without being confrontational? I don't know if something like that will ever fly in your situation, though. People have the habit of taking everything as a personal affront. 

It wouldn't matter. She's oblivious to everything. She might listen and agree with us, then the next night she'll go the opposite way and go off on my wife and threaten to move away and leave her husband of 40+ years (she actually has done this about a half dozen times). The first time it scared me and I fell into the hype. Every time after I just roll my eyes and wish she would actually do it. 

My wife and I are in a bit of a rough patch. We actually approached our parents a few months ago asking for advice, and my mother in law looked me in the eye and told me she believed in us and hoped we'd work it out. A few weeks later my wife saw messages on her phone to her friends saying my wife was making a big mistake and was stupid for being with me. 

I think my all time favorite memory was on our 4th anniversay, our daughter went to spend the night with my parents who live about an hour away and see the kids maybe once a week (as opposed to my in-laws who, in typical smothering fashion, live a few minutes away). When my MIL found out our daughter went there instead of her house, she spent the night blowing up my wife's phone with nasty messages, trying to guilt her, making fun of my parents. And that's how she treated us on our anniversay that year.

Lord, you are stupid as fuck. There's the cost for his trip to whichever of his resorts he's golfing at, for one thing... And his protection while at said resort.

Doesn’t it cost like several hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly Air Force One? And then another several hundreds of thousands of dollars to have the secret service there to protect him? I mean, how stupid is CC that he doesn’t think it cost money for the president to play golf because the golf course doesn’t actually charge him for the round? LOL

I drove my car today, instead of taking the metro.  Didn't pay for the metro, therefore my commute didn't cost anything today.

His travel costs have been covered by the savings from grounding Nancy and her entourage from their overseas junket.

Okay.  You've explained that Obama spent to much on golf.  Congrats.

That wasn't the topic at hand, though.

Yes it was.....1074% relevant that someone complains about Trump spending money on golf.  My guess is that Obama spent tens of millions that it.  You dont throw stones in a glass house without breaking a few windows.

Both Obama and Trump play too much golf and spend too much taxpayer dollars on their golf trips. 

Now, what do ya got?

Thats my point.  You dont get to post about trump playing golf and ignore the fact that Obama did the same thing

333 rounds of golf while in office.  41 a year.  All while trying to do the most important job in the world.  

I've always kind of laughed at this.  Less than 1 round of golf a week.  It's not like the POTUS literally works 24/7.....but, not to mention, plenty of business is conducted on the golf course.  It wouldn't surprise me that half of those rounds are with dignitaries and they're discussing policy some of the time.
