I'll keep it 100 with you.
@Fawlty is the father of the Lounge and I'm almost certain that you would've liked him quite a bit for his politics alone, with the hope he wouldn't make his desire to have sex with you overtly apparent and uncomfortable. He came of age in the 1990s though, so you'd at least occasionally find some of his comments borderline "ist" and "phobic" with less malicious intent than the norm.
I wound up reading some old posts while brainstorming a WR thread idea on the founding fathers that I'm not going to start and the dude could be fucking wicked with it. I had never considered him
@Gandhi or
@Prokofievian level of intelligent, but his wit was absolutely top notch. He also took avowed "It's impossible to rape your wife" White Supremacist
@Thurisaz's head off one time when he came at me really personally with a bunch of homophobic shit and I don't forget things like that.
Dude had a great sense of humor but could flip a 180 and get really catty, really quickly. He is disliked by the Global Authority staff and has tons and tons of enemies on this forum. However, his absence has really made it no less cliquey, doxxy, gossipy, sensitive and strange. It's getting to be way too much of that, i.e. "gay" in straight bro speak, while everything below this line spirals into a right-wing wasteland.
You gotta love this kind of stuff from the wig wearing, pasty white cis-hetero ghouls of the 18th century. It's quite astounding how they could be, in at least a handful of ways, more progressive than people who came centuries after them even including up to those living in the present day.
E pluribus unum —Latin for "Out of many, one"—is a 13-letter traditional motto of the United States, appearing on the Great Seal along with Annuit cœptis and Novus ordo seclorum (Latin for "New Order of the Ages"), and adopted by an Act of Congress in 1782. E pluribus unum was considered the de facto motto of the United States. It wasn't until 1956 that the United States Congress passed an act (H. J. Resolution 396) adopting "In God We Trust".[1][2][3][4]
