Same. I drove through them and it was great to see. What I was surprised to see was that most everyone was late gen x and boomer age. Very few young people.

I gave them a thumbs up out my window and they all started hollaring. It was fun, seemed like a great vibe.

A classmate of mine is in prison because a female friend of his told him a dude assaulted her. He went and beat the dude to death. She lied, he never touched her, she was just mad at him and wanted to hurt him. She was never charged with anything, either.

If this were a print, I would buy it and hang it in my boss’s office. And probably my own plant room.

They do if they are unfortunate enough to be owned by someone with a talent for being able to kill anything :(

There is a crazy amount of news, both local and otherwise, that the media does not report on. I had no idea just how much until I started working with first responders. That gave me the opportunity to see and hear what actually goes on. There are way more shootings in most large towns and cities than its residents realize. More overdoses, more fires, a crazy number of larceny and breaking and entering calls. A LOT is kept quiet. A few years back, a guy got caught near here with a car trunk full of bombs. He only got caught because the idiot got the car repossessed for non-payment. Not one peep about it in the media.

I don’t have any G’s where I live. Could we maybe just try to get everyone/everywhere at least basic coverage first?

Oh man. At a previous job, I walked into our kitchen and one of the supervisors was on the other side of the room facing away and her skirt was tucked into her underwear. I was on my way over to her when our male director walk in the door. I’m not sure I’ve even seen a look of horror on someone’s face like what was on his lol. He turned around and walked right back out, and I fixed her skirt and just told her it was folded up odd. Didn’t tell her that her butt was on display and that she just mooned our big boss haha

No reception where I live! It’s port much in the middle of national forest tho.

For the last 17 years I have somehow managed to be the only person in my area with my kind and year car, and being able to find it in a parking lot is one of the reasons I love it.

But what an awesome problem to have!

Either my purple freezies are deficient, or my sniffer is. I’ve never noticed a smell! (And purple is the only one I eat!)

It’s the same goblin that eats my socks and turns all of my underwear inside out.

That got a surprised snort-laugh out of me lol

Oh, I know it’s ridiculous. They took my family member, that’s all I needed to see to realize that.

It was (kind of) an option at one point: blowing from a gun.

It’s not much of a protest when many of the people participating are doing so involuntarily because they can’t afford to buy things anyway.

You can have a high IQ and still be an utterly inept moron. I have family in Mensa and they are hands down some of the laziest, stupidest people I know.

Many people in the US have that “fear of the other” drilled into them starting at a very young age.

You are so very right. I was born in the mid-70’s and I grew up in a rural area, lots and lots of low-income farmers outside of the valley, no minorities. There was a city to the west, and a notorious maximum security prison to the east. The news focused almost solely on the non-white people inhabiting both, and as a result I grew up absolutely terrified of those “others”, because the bad things was all I ever heard. I had no real contact with any minorities until I was an adult and had to get a job in the city. One morning driving in to that job, my car broke down a couple miles from where I worked, in a pretty run-down area. I had to walk the rest of the way to work. Not a soul bothered me, but that fear of the “other” was so strong that by the time I got to the office I was physically ill from it. Reactions and fears like this were the norm with the people I knew back then, and the media and those in power continue now with the propaganda that the “other” are to be feared and distrusted, because keeping us on edge and divided makes us easier to control.

I’ve never thought about it before, but I wonder if the companies with games containing microtransactions can ask PSN for compensation for lost income due to long outages.

I beat ET as a kid. I just wanted to share that. No cigarette afterparty occurred, though.
