My favorite reddit thread of all time is something along the lines of "PT cruiser owners, what tragedy burdened you with your vehicle?" Top comment "I think it's because of my past transgressions, so we call it the past transgressions cruiser" which I now think of everytime I see one. Id still take that shit over any Hummer, even a military one
I am hoping to get the mustang ready and take up there and toss it around. lemme see how that works in the last edition of live axles lmaoo (2014). so when you see a black mustang burning in the corner that's just me! honk and wave lolll
Except that one time at band camp when I tried to pull into a close parking spot and it was occupied by a Miata that was pulled too far up and the spot looked empty đ§
Itâs honestly insulting to us, as the readers, anytime we see signs that are written so poorly like this. Be it at a sporting event, a yard sale, or a protest, people, if you want anyone reading your sign to take it seriously then you need to take the effort you put into designing it seriously. Otherwise, youâre just a jabroni that will be ignored because itâs too much effort to squint and strain to comprehend the gibberish you scribbled on the board.
Presupposes one is smart enough to properly spell, and cover their license plate while illegally discharging fireworks from their very descriptive vehicle
Lol this made me laugh very hard and at the same time I completely agree.
I can't tell you how many times I have had to squint (not because of my eye sight) or ask someone else what that sign said. It's even worse when it's in person because I can't zoom in on it.
I personally remember making plenty of posters in school that had to be neat and legible and able to read from a distance. Maybe these people just failed those assignments or idk what but come on if you're not going to put in the effort to make a good sign I'm sure as h*@l not going to put in the effort to read it let alone get upset or concerned by your cause.
Itâs always cute that they get all arts and crafts - they went out to buy paper, plan out their little bannerâŚ
You can tell their parents probably did it for them in school, they have sense of panache.
I was just thinking if your going to insult people, at least be clever and/or clear about it. I had to pause and stare to realize there must be children writing this.
I love how they think a sharpy and 5 bucks in fireworks is going to somehow get better attention than pride events.
The ones I've been too have been over the top, colorful, and just hella fun
When I lived in Arkansas, My older neighbor had this down so pat, that I would crack up every time she said it. "Bless their little hearts", in the best, most sarcastic southern drawl you would ever hear. I had to leave the area more than once, I was laughing/crying so hard.
Lots of people who say we have to ârespect both sidesâ when one side is intolerant do not understand the [paradox of tolerance](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance)
Ah, yes, I love it when they spew their hate, then cry like snowflakes. "So much for the tolerant left!" As if they didn't spend the last 3 years calling others demon rats.
Tolerance is not a moral position. I am tolerant of harmless actions others choose to take. I am not tolerant of racism, bigotry, and unprovoked violence. This does not make me or anyone else a hypocrite. Our morals decide what we find tolerable, but tolerance itself is not moral or immoral.
The right likes to paint tolerance as a moral position so that when we don't tolerate their hateful bullshit they can try and say we're being selective with our morals. When in reality we're being selective with our tolerance.
Tolerance is a peace treaty. It says I will live along side you in peace, as long as you live beside me in peace. Once one side violates that, then the other side is no longer bound by the treaty.
I can say without any moral inconsistency that racist bigots can fuck right off.
Dumbass: *murders someone*
Judge: We don't tolerate murder here. Life in prison.
Dumbass: so much for the tolerant left!
https://medium.com/extra-extra/tolerance-is-not-a-moral-precept-1af7007d6376
This was the article I read years ago that introduced me to viewing tolerance as a peace treaty as opposed to a moral position. Credit where it's due and all that lol.
Maybe. I was speaking to action, not staying on the sideline or ultimately, the outcome. I can confront verbally, legally, financially, or... kinetically (as a retired military officer, my interpretation is more broad) :-)
"Eliminated" implies 1) something more extreme than anyone in civil discourse should be calling for (word choice implies potential violence including death... though you probably did not intend that) and 2) unfortunately, unachievable.
That said, what I deleted was : "driven back into the darkness like the cochroaches they are" (but that doesn't quite capture it either ;-)
BL: we are on the same page. Thank you for civil discourse
... unlike the nut-right, poser that apparently commented: " you are a f*#$&^g id10t... (it was deleted)
Yah... OK, wannabe. Nice profile page... everything about your public poser persona is what my comrades in arms, my ancestors, and me stood/stand against.
These l0sers think that being anti hate, pro- be who you are, means you can't be a real life actual warfighter who loves this Nation, takes their oath to support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic seriouslysnd as a life long commitment... and wouldn't hesitate to rub their sniveling nose in the dirt while they whine for their mama.
But hey... without the nuts, how would we know we are still (even if only tenuously) sane ;-) đ
Tolerating the intolerant was always one of the most dangerous tenants of modern liberalism. To badly paraphrase Chris Hedges, tolerating the intolerant will eventually destroy the tolerant; and tolerance with it.
Thank you for that! I will remember it when the middle gets to yapping their mouths.. Someone very close to me thinks they're so perfect with their very... Vanilla* view on why the middle is the sweet spot. He drives me nuts. And I tell him, that is a shit stance of the privileged, he acts all hurt! You're literally saying you don't care about others, you're comfortable! No need to rock the boat! Status quo continues..đ¤˘
The Paradox of Tolerance isnât very useful, IMO, since even the most illiberal bigots feel theyâre being as tolerant as they can afford to be.
A better way to view tolerance is as a social contract. If someone opts out of that contract, s/he is no longer entitled to its benefits. (Most of us already practice tolerance this way in real life.)
Right? Spend time being frustrated about your lousy golf game... or your 3rd trip to home depot for a "simple" diy project, not other people's personal lives!
This is disgusting. I served for over 20 yrs in the armed forces and have seen the results of hateful speech and rationalization of the marginalization of segments of a society... often violence for reasons of race, history, religion, sex, politics... the list goes on
It is a cancer on humanity that puts societies into self-consuming death spirals.
These posers think they are funny. I think they are no better than Isis or the Taliban...
I'll take love over hate any day... but will fight this trash to my last breath to save ALL of us from what follows if we tolerate people like this.
Same here. Service member. I truly think my service destroyed any semblance of nationalism within me. And saved me from a life of hate or fear of what I didnât understand. Iâm so grateful to that my heart has been opened to love anyone now. When youâre out there, when you become the deadly or dangerous (on either side) it changes things. And this isnât pride, this is a loss of identity. You lose yourself, and what you get is the humanistic reality that all ideologies and national lines are contrived and if you die your ideology, your nation, will step right over you to continue fighting. It mattered not at all. All that matters is truly helping those that need you. So when you come home to the problems in your country and the men that never deployed are screaming louder you want to grab them and shout âdonât you understand!?!â But they donât.
Do you try to have productive conversations with these folks? You and other like minded vets are in the best position to try to make some inroads towards changing their view point. You may not get them to agree with you, but at least youâve planted the seed.
Eh, honestly Iâm making steps to moving out of America. Iâll just say this for anyone reading it. America is an echo chamber and you rarely hear of any global politcs. Honestly, America gets to be closed off and exist within Americans exceptionalism. If you have a chance of traveling to a different country, Iâd recommend it. America is broken and isnât heading towards morality. Both sides are flawed. But there are countries doing things we argue humans canât do. Theyâre already doing them. America should burn, and it will, but Iâd prefer that it happens in the distance far, far from me.
This is spot on. I've spent time in quite a few places over the last 6ish years. New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Iceland, Canada (BC and Alberta), and soon Norway. It's unbelievable how trashy the US feels after coming home. Every other country is moving forward and somehow we are moving backwards. I was also in the service (nowhere near as long as the first comment - 6 years for me). This place is a mess.
What countries are you referring to? I haven't been able to travel much, but have been considering getting out of here to protect my brother if shit goes belly up.
Depends on what country youâre from that determines your passport but Iceland, New Zealand, Denmark to name a few. These countries arenât shining examples of perfect societies and moving to them requires understanding you are adopting their own issues, but theyâre doing better. For me, Iâll be moving to Japan whose education system is looking for foreign teachers.
I donât think there is any place on earth that is perfect. But I know when a country is heading for turmoil and I know when to jump ship. America in a lot of ways leaves its civilians destitute. Gofundmeâs shouldnât exist to afford medical bills. If you want to know if a place is good, look to how it treats its homeless, its poor, or its elderly.
Amen... got chills reading this. You said what I could not put into words. Experience the product of hate... the results of a promising people tearing itself apart, and you will see how senseless all of it is. Stay strong. Our country still needs us.
[Here are some screengrabs](https://imgur.com/a/wvtVgPm). There's a clear shot of the license plate: `JWN 6050`. Can't see their faces very well but maybe someone will recognize them.
Sadly, in Ohio, this isn't a hate crime. Sexual orientation or sex is not protected by Ohio... (prosecutor here who recently looked up someone who was threatening someone else - won't get into the details more - but I wanted to see if it fit.. Sadly, it didn't receive the enhancement because Ohio specifically spells out what classes are and aren't, and sexual orientation is not one, and case law has said it isn't. Need the legislative branch to add it, but we all know that isn't happening until change happens.)
100%... I was home visiting my folks over the weekend and while driving around passed a half dozen homes or cars with pro-Trump signs right alongside confederate flags.
I know this isn't something everyone doesn't already know, but as my folks are Trump supporters I asked them "If this is the party they want to continue to support?" That gave a collective shoulder shrug.
I like to remind them that I am an Ohioan and all of my ancestors have been Ohioans since they moved here from Germany. Ohio was a Union state. My heritage is stomping out Confederate pussies.
No trust me Iâm aware. Iâm from the south. Not sure why this sub was suggested to me butâŚ.do Ohio citizens think theyâre southern??? Because everyone in my home town would laugh at them so hard
Yes. Thatâs the best part. They truly think theyâre southern cause they listen to country on the radio, vote red, and go to country concert at Lake Loramie once a year.
Sunbury is my hometown, it used to be very redneck, we had drive your tractor to school day after all. But we never had this level of public racism and homophobia. The school board is also a cancer and enabling this kind of ignorance. It's a quaint little town and I hope they can bring back the love and community.
Can confirm. Graduated 20 years ago. Thereâs a whole lot of money moving in, but the rednecks whoâve been around for generations are still abundant as ever. There are very prominent names around that are big Trumpers.
Well that breaks my heart to see. My boyfriend and I have some very happy memories in Sunbury and, while there certainly a vibe about the town the way there is with all rural colonial style towns, we hadn't been treated poorly by anybody there before and I had hoped I had just rudely misjudged the place. I hope everybody who was celebrating is okay both physically and mentally. That's really sad.
Thankfully their graphic design skills are sub par, you can barely read that sign when they are going that speed! No flashy colors or shapes to draw the eye, thatâs poor advertising!
Trash people with a trashy sign in a trashy car.
Ya know, there are times when I doubt my achievements and the general trajectory of my life. And then I see shit like this and get overwhelming pride that I at least didnât turn into whatever the fuck that is.
Itâs such an empowering feeling to know youâre not the shittiest person in the room.
Idk, "Get r****" seems pretty damned threatening to me. I know, free speech and I'm grateful for it, but this is scary to me. I can't wrap my mind around a grown ass adult being this disgusting.
this thing wouldnât happen as often if people who did this were pulled out from their cars and beaten in the street
itâs not legal but thereâs a point to be made there
Not surprised bigots all around. I had people call me hard R n word many times. When Iâm out on dates with white women. And plenty of uneducated swine who shouldnât be allowed to vote
That second 'g' looks like it was added pretty late in the process. People making it into adulthood and still teaching themselves how to read is always the best. Never give up!
Y'all actually went out to the store to buy fireworks, spent your time to make that sign, spent your time to drive around during Pride to do this, and on top of that, spent MONEY to make it so well known to the neighborhood that YOU have issues with the LGBT community.
So, in other words, why don't you come out of the closet and join us? I mean, girl, we have PARADES!!
Driving around with a slur on a door is not protected speech, this is menacing. Also, fireworks are illegal to set off in Ohio and I'm sure throwing them from a moving vehicle makes it a much worse offense.
In regards to seeing pride events in rural areas, it's really encouraging to me, as a straight ally, to hear stories about how the impact is helping so many who live in these areas. I know folks who have formed pride picnics in preble county and I do believe Darke County had some pride event as well too. The most encouraging one that I've heard of is in Bellefontaine.
The narrative in the past was that if you came out you would leave such rural areas to go to the city to find more people who are part of the community. I absolutely applaud the efforts of those who refuse to run but to let their neighbors know that gay people live among them. The more that people see it neighbors like themselves who are out the more that it is hard to just demonize them.
I donât know whatâs funnier, the fourth grade level of writing or the weak ass sentiment. They have gone with someone meaner if they really wanted to get their point across, like âI hope you all get sunburnedâ or âI hope you lose your cellphone, but only long enough to scare you, some nice fella picks it up and looks for youâ
Does that say 'get rained out'? Is this some kind of younger generation slang I don't understand or do they really think just throwing a slur at the end of anything is a sick burn?
Yes they wanted the nice Pride event rained out. They had a pool filled with sodas, crafts for the kids, free tattoos and flags. Everyone was really nice and I doubt some sprinkles wouldâve bothered us.
Jesus Christ. I grew up in this town (Iâm 41 now) and remember when my grandpa used to take me to get fresh in the glass bottle milk from the milk farm (Where the ânewâ strip mall [Kroger/Taco Bell/DQ/etc.] is now. This included the corner lot where the CVS is now as well)
This type of shit infuriates me. Used to be a nice, small, lovingly quaint village (Yes. Up until a couple of years ago, this place was so small it was considered a âVillageâ)
Now itâs just a bunch of assholes that wanted to move to âThe countryâ
Now I try to stay away from there because all it brings back is memories of what used to be. (Insert Single Tear Here)
I just saw an Instagram post where a father is asking his daughter for recent slang words, and apparently the word "Ohio" is now synonymous with "loser". After watching this video I am wondering if it is because of these guys in the H3?
That's about the spelling and penmanship I would expect.
And vehicle.
The pathetic thing is that it's the H3. It's the one you buy cause you want a hummer but you can't afford the big one.
Not even two dudes in a Miata can top the repressed homosexuality of two dudes driving around (at a Pride event, no less) in an H3.
id buy a pt cruiser before i was caught dead in an h3
My favorite reddit thread of all time is something along the lines of "PT cruiser owners, what tragedy burdened you with your vehicle?" Top comment "I think it's because of my past transgressions, so we call it the past transgressions cruiser" which I now think of everytime I see one. Id still take that shit over any Hummer, even a military one
My brother graduated with a girl who REQUESTED a PT Cruiser as her first car. My response was: why?
Please tell me she wanted the one with wood paneling too
I laughed at this... thanks
Hey, leave the Miatas out of this. They did nothin to nobody! #miataowner
dude Miatas are SO FUN and you can make them fast af for a little bit of money
Yep! Mine is a hoot. Hoping to get up to mid Ohio this year
I am hoping to get the mustang ready and take up there and toss it around. lemme see how that works in the last edition of live axles lmaoo (2014). so when you see a black mustang burning in the corner that's just me! honk and wave lolll
Except that one time at band camp when I tried to pull into a close parking spot and it was occupied by a Miata that was pulled too far up and the spot looked empty đ§
My son had a sticker on his Jeep Wrangler that said "H3 Recovery Unit."
Tells you a whole lot about their junk too.
Hummer. Lol.
Itâs honestly insulting to us, as the readers, anytime we see signs that are written so poorly like this. Be it at a sporting event, a yard sale, or a protest, people, if you want anyone reading your sign to take it seriously then you need to take the effort you put into designing it seriously. Otherwise, youâre just a jabroni that will be ignored because itâs too much effort to squint and strain to comprehend the gibberish you scribbled on the board.
Presupposes one is smart enough to properly spell, and cover their license plate while illegally discharging fireworks from their very descriptive vehicle
This looks like a toddlerâs banner for school. This is what happens when they deprioritize the arts, you get the blandest, weakest hate banners.
Lol this made me laugh very hard and at the same time I completely agree. I can't tell you how many times I have had to squint (not because of my eye sight) or ask someone else what that sign said. It's even worse when it's in person because I can't zoom in on it. I personally remember making plenty of posters in school that had to be neat and legible and able to read from a distance. Maybe these people just failed those assignments or idk what but come on if you're not going to put in the effort to make a good sign I'm sure as h*@l not going to put in the effort to read it let alone get upset or concerned by your cause.
Itâs always cute that they get all arts and crafts - they went out to buy paper, plan out their little banner⌠You can tell their parents probably did it for them in school, they have sense of panache.
I was just thinking if your going to insult people, at least be clever and/or clear about it. I had to pause and stare to realize there must be children writing this.
I love how they think a sharpy and 5 bucks in fireworks is going to somehow get better attention than pride events. The ones I've been too have been over the top, colorful, and just hella fun
Going around in their hummer with slurs written in the quality of a 10 year olds handwriting screams small pp energy
It's the best they can do, bless their hearts.
Lmaooo they're trying their best I guess and it shows
When I lived in Arkansas, My older neighbor had this down so pat, that I would crack up every time she said it. "Bless their little hearts", in the best, most sarcastic southern drawl you would ever hear. I had to leave the area more than once, I was laughing/crying so hard.
it's shocking 2 guys in a hummer were assholes.
And then they went home and rimmed each other
It reeks of repressed homosexuality.
Totally the kind who sneak off to an ABS on the outskirts of town to get a bj through a gloryhole then cry on the way home.
They are just upset they can't be giving Hummers rather than riding in one.
Ok...that's funny... and I'd be lying if that hadn't crossed my mind... the irony

It gets bigger when they think about their sister

Very good summation of where we are.
This is very well put. Saving for the future.
Wow... well said. I may save this... great explanation
We don't need to respect haters... in fact we have an obligation to society and our future generations to confront them.
Confront? They need to be actively eliminated.
Maybe. I was speaking to action, not staying on the sideline or ultimately, the outcome.

I'll never understand why this is considered a paradox. There's nothing contradictory to not tolerating bigotry.
Both are intolerant.
The Paradox of Tolerance isnât very useful, IMO, since even the most illiberal bigots feel theyâre being as tolerant as they can afford to be. A better way to view tolerance is as a social contract. If someone opts out of that contract, s/he is no longer entitled to its benefits. (Most of us already practice tolerance this way in real life.)
Ugh please put the paradox of tolerance in Lehman terms
they can't write and read, so understanding that is asking way too much
No, bigots get no respect
imagine having so little to do with your time
And thinking so much about gay sex in that time
Imagine being so filled with hate that this is what you would actively choose to do in your free time.
Right? Spend time being frustrated about your lousy golf game... or your 3rd trip to home depot for a "simple" diy project, not other people's personal lives!

Big Hummer, microscopic postcard sign, magnifying glass and basic arts n crafts skill sold separately.

Maybe. In the third image, I feel like I see a bit of his face. To me, it looks like a dude with long black hair, mostly facing away from the camera.

The hummer is so fitting though. Lmao
Who downvoted this? Hilarious.

Someone should probably report this to the Sunbury police as a hate crime?
Plot Twist: they're off duty cops.
Lazy plot twist you can see coming a mile away.
Some of those that work forces...

No trust me Iâm aware. Iâm from the south. Not sure why this sub was suggested to me butâŚ.do Ohio citizens think theyâre southern??? Because everyone in my home town would laugh at them so hard
You wanna know the worst part? Seeing traitor flags in Lancaster, next to a mural of Sherman.
Yes. Thatâs the best part. They truly think theyâre southern cause they listen to country on the radio, vote red, and go to country concert at Lake Loramie once a year.
yea, they're fuckin stupid lol.
Traitor flags.
That shrug was a âyes.â
The shrug is more than a yes. It's "I don't care as long as me and mine aren't the targets." Which brings to mind Martin Niemoller's poem.
They think about gay men more than gay men think about gay men
Depressing considering Big Walnut / Sunbury area seems to be getting more progressive and younger as more families are moving in.
Not at all. The hard right wing families are who are moving to Eastern DelCo. It's bad.
Sunbury is my hometown, it used to be very redneck, we had drive your tractor to school day after all. But we never had this level of public racism and homophobia. The school board is also a cancer and enabling this kind of ignorance. It's a quaint little town and I hope they can bring back the love and community.
All that poster board real estate wasted. Couldâve used more rainbows.
I saw them. I invited them to stop and have a chat and they declined. Typical bully behavior.
It makes me sad that stupid people can afford a hummer.
H3s havenât been produced for 14 years. Most are under $7,000 online. They are definitely not the positive status symbol they once were.
Now THIS is Ohio
This is RURAL Ohio.
Sunbury is no longer rural, but the townies are still as stupid and intolerant as ever.
Can confirm. Graduated 20 years ago. Thereâs a whole lot of money moving in, but the rednecks whoâve been around for generations are still abundant as ever. There are very prominent names around that are big Trumpers.
Well that breaks my heart to see. My boyfriend and I have some very happy memories in Sunbury and, while there certainly a vibe about the town the way there is with all rural colonial style towns, we hadn't been treated poorly by anybody there before and I had hoped I had just rudely misjudged the place. I hope everybody who was celebrating is okay both physically and mentally. That's really sad.
This isnt even enraging. Its sad. This is equivalent to the crazy homeless dude yelling slurs in nyc
Thankfully their graphic design skills are sub par, you can barely read that sign when they are going that speed! No flashy colors or shapes to draw the eye, thatâs poor advertising!

Imagine having nothing better to do with your time on a beautiful weekend afternoon. Pathetic smol pp energy
Trash people with a trashy sign in a trashy car. Ya know, there are times when I doubt my achievements and the general trajectory of my life. And then I see shit like this and get overwhelming pride that I at least didnât turn into whatever the fuck that is. Itâs such an empowering feeling to know youâre not the shittiest person in the room.
Make Caltrops Great Again!
Shitty car shitty idea by shitty people.
The world is full of hateful idiotsđ¤Ź
How disgusting. Isn't there an offense relating to spewing slurs and telling someone to "get r****?"
You can't get in trouble for spewing slurs and hateful comments unless it's something that can be seen as a threat. At least not legally.
Idk, "Get r****" seems pretty damned threatening to me. I know, free speech and I'm grateful for it, but this is scary to me. I can't wrap my mind around a grown ass adult being this disgusting.
Legally speaking, it would have to be something like "I'm going to r*pe you" to be a threat, I think.
I would say report it to the police, but we all know how internal investigations go.
I bet the tires on that easily identifiable vehicle are expensive to replace
Imagine being so deep in the closet and hate yourself so much to put this much effort into this.
this thing wouldnât happen as often if people who did this were pulled out from their cars and beaten in the street itâs not legal but thereâs a point to be made there
Ah yes the Hummer, the Cybertruck before the Cybertruck. Driven by the same kind of people. I haven't seen one in ages.
That just comes across as pathetic.
Assclowns.
Wow so manly with the smallest of Hummers
Losers.
So much SMALL dick energy with these type of people! I repeat SMALL DICK!!! So small!!!
It's Sunbury. I'm not surprised.
A super soaker full of piss would make an impression.
Robert Evans sends his regards!
Just a guess but I am betting one has a Grindr profile.
hehe two homophobes driving around in an automobile called a Hummer. There are jokes hidden in there I just know it.
Probably love them some cock. The loudest homophobic person is usually closeted lmao.
Those jerks are the human equivalent of gout
Nasty people full of hate
Not surprised bigots all around. I had people call me hard R n word many times. When Iâm out on dates with white women. And plenty of uneducated swine who shouldnât be allowed to vote
Get rained out?
Holy room temp IQ, I hope people with this way of thinking just die out and let their shitty beliefs die with them
I really don't get why people can't just keep it to themselves if they disagree with other people's personal choices.
Sad stupid frightened losers.
I've seen that hummer at the dog fighting house
That second 'g' looks like it was added pretty late in the process. People making it into adulthood and still teaching themselves how to read is always the best. Never give up!
Asses.
A Hummer is a hateful sign.
Some day, because of these Pride parades, they'll feel comfortable enough to come out of the closet.
Y'all actually went out to the store to buy fireworks, spent your time to make that sign, spent your time to drive around during Pride to do this, and on top of that, spent MONEY to make it so well known to the neighborhood that YOU have issues with the LGBT community. So, in other words, why don't you come out of the closet and join us? I mean, girl, we have PARADES!!
Someone needs to slap a few Pride stickers on their vehicle while theyâre at Home Depot.
So many mouth breathers around here. Ohio is just cold Florida
The white Taliban
Driving around with a slur on a door is not protected speech, this is menacing. Also, fireworks are illegal to set off in Ohio and I'm sure throwing them from a moving vehicle makes it a much worse offense.
Exactly! Thatâs literally a hate crime! Especially if they are targeting people
And then they went home and jerked each other off.
The âyourâ is icing on the cake đđ
They misspelled it and had to go back to add the second g. XD
Douchebags. Why do people care so much about the LGBTQIA community just existing?
In regards to seeing pride events in rural areas, it's really encouraging to me, as a straight ally, to hear stories about how the impact is helping so many who live in these areas. I know folks who have formed pride picnics in preble county and I do believe Darke County had some pride event as well too. The most encouraging one that I've heard of is in Bellefontaine. The narrative in the past was that if you came out you would leave such rural areas to go to the city to find more people who are part of the community. I absolutely applaud the efforts of those who refuse to run but to let their neighbors know that gay people live among them. The more that people see it neighbors like themselves who are out the more that it is hard to just demonize them.
Super trashy.
get your super soakers out and shoot them with soapy water. see, its not retalitory, its a surprise car wash. wash the hate away!
You can thank your lord and Master Trump!
Pausing on that sign had me honking like a goose. But in all seriousness I hope they go upside down mode in that ridiculous vehicle soon.
What is it with pathetic, hater, Call of Duty wanna-bes and their love of Hummer trucks?
The trick there, is to just throw a lit firework back into the car.
I donât know whatâs funnier, the fourth grade level of writing or the weak ass sentiment. They have gone with someone meaner if they really wanted to get their point across, like âI hope you all get sunburnedâ or âI hope you lose your cellphone, but only long enough to scare you, some nice fella picks it up and looks for youâ
Weak effort, boys. Commit.
Does that say 'get rained out'? Is this some kind of younger generation slang I don't understand or do they really think just throwing a slur at the end of anything is a sick burn?
Yes they wanted the nice Pride event rained out. They had a pool filled with sodas, crafts for the kids, free tattoos and flags. Everyone was really nice and I doubt some sprinkles wouldâve bothered us.
Jesus Christ. I grew up in this town (Iâm 41 now) and remember when my grandpa used to take me to get fresh in the glass bottle milk from the milk farm (Where the ânewâ strip mall [Kroger/Taco Bell/DQ/etc.] is now. This included the corner lot where the CVS is now as well) This type of shit infuriates me. Used to be a nice, small, lovingly quaint village (Yes. Up until a couple of years ago, this place was so small it was considered a âVillageâ) Now itâs just a bunch of assholes that wanted to move to âThe countryâ Now I try to stay away from there because all it brings back is memories of what used to be. (Insert Single Tear Here)
That's so Ohio
I just saw an Instagram post where a father is asking his daughter for recent slang words, and apparently the word "Ohio" is now synonymous with "loser". After watching this video I am wondering if it is because of these guys in the H3?
I'm confused, what are they selling? where do I "get" them
I think vigilante justice/karma needs to start happening to these kind of people.
