My girlfriend's ex-husband and father of their 17-year-old son is from South Africa; he obviously lived during apartheid. I'm black, and while we get along just fine, I often wonder 1.) what stance he and his family took during apartheid and 2.) if he harbors any, I dunno, "lingering ideals" when he's around me. I have absolutely no reason to believe or think the latter, but I DO wonder. I even met his father who still lived in SA before he passed a couple years ago, and he was a very nice man, probably one of the most pleasant and polite people I've ever met, so I'd like to imagine his family wasn't at least ACTIVELY pro-apartheid, but that's not really a question to ask; it'd be uncomfortable for all involved..."Okay, while you're not technically inaccurate, you are doing a disservice to serious historical analysis by calling apartheid 'cringe'."
Reminds me of a nice old lady I met working at a locally owned clothes store. She had a bit of an accent that I picked up on and she mentioned she was from South Africa and moved to the USA in 1994.My girlfriend's ex-husband and father of their 17-year-old son is from South Africa; he obviously lived during apartheid.

Just the other day I was thinking about this teacher I read about on the Escapist who lost his job because he hit a female student and then was found masturbating in the hallway."One of his tics is that he brutally masturbates himself."
I've always wondered, had alcohol not been "invented," what would clinical alcoholics be addicted to?"Alcoholism is a disease, but it's the only one you can get yelled at for having. Goddammit, Otto, you're an alcoholic. Goddammit, Otto, you have lupus. One of these two doesn't sound right."
Honestly, I think it's a personality/mental thing more than the physical. In other words, if alcohol weren't a thing, the would-be alcoholic would just find something else to get addicted to.I've always wondered, had alcohol not been "invented," what would clinical alcoholics be addicted to?
Yeah, that's what I figured, but it's just odd that "alcohol" gets a separate distinction in terms of disorders when it's more than likely just general "addiction." Like, I wonder what parts of the brain light up when an alcoholic and a hoarder are sating their desires for completely disparate things; are they the same?Honestly, I think it's a personality/mental thing more than the physical.

I miss those couple of months I dated that freaky bar tender. Sweet girl. Probably in prison now."Unlike a mosquito, I don't stop sucking when you slap me."
