That tree eats a lot of birds and mice. It looks exactly like my tree, which is also a predator.

I had shitty American school French when I went to Paris and I did my best, and nearly everyone said they didn’t speak any English which I knew was a fucking lie. I have since decided not to speak French. I’ve still got Dutch, German, Korean and a little bit of Norwegian on top of English. France is the only country in Europe I don’t want to visit again. Rural France was better but I still don’t plan to go back.

I’m all for an LS swap. Let’s LS swap the world!

Yeah my daughter is studying ASL in college right now and have learned a lot about sign language recently.

There is also more legal protection from trespassing. It isn’t illegal to be on a public road or sidewalk in a neighborhood you don’t live in, and you can’t be trespassed unless you commit a crime. If the road and sidewalk are privately owned they can tell you to leave for any/no reason.

My local B league hockey team does discount nights with cheap seats and cheap options for beer/soft drinks and snacks. My wife and I will get tickets, have a few drinks and snacks and spend a total of maybe a little over $20. Even on full price nights it’s maybe $50 for the same.

Plus there’s the fights that almost always break out. Or, as the saying goes, there was a fight and a hockey game broke out.

Me too. Cheers!

To be fair, almost no one is excited to see a starling.

I would be your neighbor but I would be gone here and there to visit my wife who would be living somewhere among the world’s hottest beach places.

My area got flooded with Flock cameras during Biden’s last year. Both parties want the surveillance no question. But they also want to be in power. God I hate those cameras.

I have had a vasectomy, but I don’t have sex anymore so is that a double negative and I’m about to birth millions of new lives?

It’s always right around my birthday, and I go camping that week.

I think usage is regional. Although I’ve never lived in a region where anyone actually used the term wieners. I’ve heard franks used sometimes. But mostly it’s brats, sausages or dogs. Brats are only bratwurst. Dogs are only hot dogs, it doesn’t matter what kind of meat or even vegan, but it’s unseasoned. Sausages are any other seasoned meat in a casing.

Cats are drawn to people who don’t want to be around them.

Yeah we have a place around the corner called the market where people shop for free. You can only shop twice a month tho.

It’s just as simple as that

No, it’s more of a testament to how car-dependent our area is. You can live without a house, but you can’t live without a car, or access to someone who will drive you. Housing here is comparitively affordable.

I work with a lot of homeless, and I have known a few who have rented a car in a pinch. But you’re right, most just have an old beater they own.

In my area, the majority of homeless have cars. A car rental can be more important than a home to rent for survival for more people than you might think.

There must be some other word for a bundle of sticks.
