Seriously, that's next level incompetence for a major firm.

 

I've done it a few times and thankfully nothing incriminating or too private appears nor does this account.

 

I challenge all of you to look at James damores avatar without breaking into laughter

 

Given that there is someone in the MLB hall of fame, I have unfortunately googled my name more times than I would like. I've also googled myself because there is an author with my name and I wanted to see his catalog.

 

I assumed your username was just you being a Mike Schmidt fan haha

 

I mean, he's a lot like someone we know.

 

No haha. When I signed up I thought I had to put in my name instead of a username and I don't want to pay to change it.

Weird side tangent, but I went to school at the University of Dayton and the Mike Schmidt is from there, so I would get a lot of comments from locals. Worst would be when my friend Dave Mathews would visit and we'd hit the streets. Even more comments. It's gotten better as I've gotten older because fewer people know about the baseball player now.

 

Totally will change supporter usernames for people if they ask, just fyi.

 

I Google my name every couple of years just in case employers do I want to see what they see

 

So much for free speech

 

Good to know if something comes along in the future. I don't really have the energy or creativity right now to change it haha.

 

Oh shit. I'm in austin too. If I didn't have a family to support I would totally try to do this.

 

Change your name to John Smith

 

" It says here you exposed Pocahontas to tuberculosis and killed her"

 

CNN hasn't even acknowledged the shooting. On twitter or tv.

 

Colin Kaepernick Has a Job

Even the people standing atop the avalanche of shit—at the forefront of the retweeting, free-flowing forum of hateration—can agree that Colin has the “right” to kneel, even though he doesn’t want to kneel forever. By that logic, the same should be true for his silence: that he has every right to grow in private, before he steps out in public. Being black is hard enough. And public blackness is not something you just put on comfortably, like a football jersey. Being publicly black is especially difficult if blackness wasn't a topic of conversation throughout your upbringing—your home, your school, your church—which, for Colin and his loving, adoptive, white parents, it wasn’t, which makes Colin’s activism on behalf of black people and our systemic oppression all the more intriguing. But here in America, in the year 2017, the kneejerk reaction to becoming, gradually, publicly black—eventually, a public black leader—is that, in silence, you are hiding, not preparing. You either stay inside, until you’re a perfectly formed human being, or you step out and stay out until you slip up and are forced back in. Until you are forced to beg.

And the internet does not know a lamb who’s difficult to kill, so few things are riskier than stepping out before you’re fully polished. That catch-all “woke”—meaning everything and nothing—is overused now, not as a sticker for the well-informed and -intentioned, but as a stamp of disapproval for those who have messed up, and therefore aren’t. To be a work-in-progress is nearly unacceptable, because the currency that drives our culture is not self-improvement, but instead the ongoing erosive process of each person, on each side, designating who is wrong and who is right.

Sharing again, damn can Rembert write.

 

there was a shooting in plano outside of dallas on monday and I didn't hear about it until late last night from a random twitter. I think 7 or 8 people were killed.

8 killed in shooting at Dallas Cowboys watch party in Plano, police say - CNN

 

Isn't it trespassing for a candidate to come inside a building and post their flyers on all the walls? I mean, that's ridiculous.

 

probably depends on city/state laws

 

public building?

 

It's a fucked up way to pick on old people

 

TBH I'm not 100% sure, possibly.

 

if it's public then they can put stuff up, but probably nothing saying that you can't take them down.

 

‘We send a report every morning to ICE’: Motel 6 reportedly outing guests to immigration officials

 

Yea, why wouldn't I be able to take it down? It doesn't partain to the building at all if you're running for a seat somewhere. It's not the projects or anything though, people technically own their places but they aren't condos.. it's like in between lol I just thought it was fucked to try to goat old people into being scared and voting for them
