I am trying to place where that pic was taken and all I can think of is near the intersection of State st and Broadway but I don't think that is correct. However, at the intersection of State st and Broadway there is a terrific Thai place, Thai 2 Go, that looks like a run down shack but the food is so friggin good, go there if you are ever in the area and don't be a pussy and ask for the 5+ spicy

i can only speak for myself, but i think john doing what jon stewart did in his last couple of years and letting humor take a back seat to outrage. that sucks when the entire reason he has this show was because he did a great job as a substitute Daily Show host- better than jon in that era imo. plus his "jokes" are mostly pop culture references and he has the same canned reactions to people saying something stupid

so long story short, yeah, he's not funny anymore

I don't interact with alleged or convicted criminals so off the top of my head I don't have much. I can tell you that I worked in a county jail for 8 months before seeing a black inmate, but times have changed and there is usually 2 or 3 of them at any given time these days.

I was hit on by a drunk pre-op trans sexual american indian prostitute once but I don't remember her name (just her male name) and she signed all of her booking paperwork "Hitler" in giant scribbled letters

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I watch his videos on YouTube when they pop up because they cover some interesting topics and do so in a way that's neither tasteless MSM-style pandering to the status quo nor Tumblriffic literally shaking outrage for the sake of outrage., but I don't remember ever genuinely laughing at anything he's said on his new show. He showed on the Daily Show he has the potential to be funny, but people don't want funny when they can get pavlovian Game of Thrones references. "Huh huh, I recognize the name of that character! Eheheheheheh."

IMO, propping up the lesser of two evils until it can catch up in The Race to be the Biggest Piece of poo poo on the Planet is actually not good at all. People like JO are the reason that there are no good choices. I hope his dick falls off.
