Public Puns

So, we have been facing many cops coming into our legal pun areas, and attempting to arrest innocents that are in the safety of these public pun zones. It is hurting us to see such unexplained actions and we wish that no one come after us anymore. I believe this is a decent place, but you attacking us in our own zones should stop immediately. Thank you.

Imma keep wearing the mask because it’s basically a part of me now, like Venom. Plus I disagree with this decision and I feel like this is the right thing to do. I can’t imagine just ditching the mask. I would feel so... exposed and naked. Plus it’s an added level of security. A man hasn’t told me I’d look better if I smiled in over a year. Even better if I have on sunglasses. It hides almost my entire face and even though some men will harass you even in mascot suit that has a pink bow, it at least minimizes it. Maybe it’s just me but as a woman I feel safer with the mask knowing men don’t know what I look like. But maybe I watch too much true crime. Maybe I’m just paranoid.

We have too many idiots out there that'll believe it.

This has been a public service announcement, thank you.

Went to the laundromat this morning, sweaty and bothered, I’m having a rough pms. Dude pulls up next to me in a bright orange jeep. He gets out and he’s wearing matching bright orange shorts and flip flops. Honestly I give him props for having a favorite color and sticking to it. I barely notice him.

I sit in my car and watch videos on my phone and wait for my laundry to be done. As my timer gets close I gather my stuff, I look up and realize this dude is leaning on his car directly in front of my driver side door. He’s on his phone too but I’m sketched that he’s choosing to be right in my way. My windows aren’t tinted so I waved to show him that I’m about to open my door. Of course he moves just enough for me to open the door. I squeeze out.

“Yo, Im still going to need to get by you.” I pointed to the door behind him, my tone was not friendly.

“Wait, Ive been wanting to talk to you.” He was giving me a weird smirk and not wearing a mask.

“Well that was a dumb fucking plan. Block my way so I will talk to you? Fuck you dude.” I started walking to the other side of the car and he ran ahead to the laundromat door to hold it for me.

“C’mon, I just want to chat with you. Why are you being angry like that?” He leaned close to me when I went through the door.

“No! You’re really pissing me the fuck off. Just leave me alone. I’m not going to tell you again!”

He shut up when I raised my voice and other people in the laundromat started to listen in and give him a dirty look.

I told a female attendant about him and pointed to him and she took down his license and said if he comes in she will kick him out. Honestly I was really happy with her response. Fuck dudes who corner women because “I want to talk to you”. I don’t give a fuck whatever you have to say. I WILL make a scene.

Already got an angy boi in my DMS:

Private message from u/smithsmiths: “FYI most guys don't think women are obligated to speak to them. Before you go off on a rant about how "nOt aLl men" is a bad argument, that's the same logic racists use to discriminate against certain groups of people.”

My response: “Here’s the deal. Racism is a system of oppression against people of color. Just like sexism is a system of oppression against women. So you saying “most guys don’t” is like telling me “All lives matter” in response to “black lives matter” it’s an inherently sexist response. Women cannot oppress men. Women live everyday in opposition to a system that has created and routinely su

> Nurse was heavily consulted throughout the interview process, sources said, but Indiana brass never contacted Phoenix executives for insight on Bjorkgren’s time as a Suns assistant from 2015-17.

> Nor did they consult with last year's Orlando Bubble breakout player T.J. Warren—who played under Bjorkgren in Phoenix—according to sources. When news of Bjorkgren's hire became public, Warren requested a trade from the Pacers, according to sources.

> It’s believed that Warren even opted for an elective season-ending surgery in March, both to better serve his recovery from a stress fracture in his left foot and also to avoid playing for Bjorkgren for the remainder of this season.

So... TJ Warren gone. Who's next?

EDIT: Apologize for the title gore lol

EDIT (GMT 13:30): Thank you for all of the 140 questions (so far)! I'm very happy about the huge interest in public speaking/presentation skills. I'm trying to answer as many as I can as well as I can. Best regards asbjornspeaks.com

I say let them. You’ll have far more important things to do than worrying about the first draft of history.

Lawyer up. Delete Facebook. Buy a Gym.

There will be literal careers dedicated to understanding this event. Dissertations, books, movies; plenty of time will pass for the records to be set straight. If MSM can’t figure out where the story is, or if they’re paid not to, then don’t waste your time, money, and reputation on helping them get more clicks.

You’ll know who the real apes were, that’ll be enough.

Recently my son turned of age, 11, and so I reached out to Professor Oak so he could begin his journey of becoming a Pokemon master. Things started off well.. well, as well as it could for someone not old enough to legally get a job but old enough to be emancipated and live alone.

But my son reached Pewter City to try and get his first badge, except.. The gym leader had apparently abandoned his post. There was another man who was watching over the gym but my son said there was like 20 kids running around the place and the gym leader was too busy to fight and just gave him his badge.

Same thing happened when my son finally made it to Cerulean City, the young ladies running the gym were instead doing live shows and he got a free badge. You may be thinking this is great, but the entire League system is to train him up for the championship battles and my son has barely learned anything at this point (relevant later).

He makes his way down to Vermillion City where he finds, finally, his first gym leader. Not only did he SLAM my son's level 5 Squirtle but then kept calling him a baby and made him cry (He's 11!) He decided he just wasn't ready for Surge so he made his way to Saffron city, which is where I'm finally at my wits end...

He lost (obviously) but gym leader Sabrina has made him a slave and forced him into a doll house and will not let him leave now. I have reported her to the Indigo League and the Saffron City gym because this is a gross abuse of her position in the League but it's fallen on deaf ears. I also called the local police in saffron city but I couldn't argue with their logic that he's 11, he's old enough to adventure around a dangerous world of killer monsters, he's old enough to enter a contract of slavery with Sabrina.

Any advice?? I don't even know whats strong against Psychic Pokemon! Thanks in advance.

Edit: Thank you all so much for the love! I honestly did not think that this post would gain so much traction. So just to provide a response to some of the comments I saw:

Yes, this can be done at any age. I put for younger people because when I was in my early twenties I needed for someone to tell me this. After college I move 800 miles away from home and everyone I knew and started new. I told some of my family I started going out to eat alone and they told me that was sad and I shouldn't do that but I honestly enjoyed it. (For background I grew up on a farm in a very small town. No one did anything alone and just going out in town you were bound to run into someone you knew)

It seems like for people who grew up in the city this is common practice but for many this is unheard of. So if you are someone who needed to hear this I'm glad I could help.

Then acting surprised when all visitor spots (and any other sufficiently large terrain gets taken by residents vehicles.
