I’ll give kind of the opposite story. An Illinois town’s PD has made the news at least twice for chasing a UFO. In the 80s they were on some TV special about unexplained events, talking about the time they chased a triangular-shaped UFO for a long time. I remember watching that, and then going to the nearby air base for an air show, complete with a triangular-shaped stealth bomber…
I feel like my objections to anti-abortion laws are playing out just as I feared. I’m against abortion but I feel like easier access and less stigma around birth control is a big part of preventing abortions. My main objection was I knew right wingers would make no distinctions between any kind of abortions, even to save lives of women. And son of a gun, unfortunately I was right.
Well I don’t think he meant anything other than that he probably agrees with the lyrics. Four people wrote the song and he’s not one of the songwriters. Also he’s not from a small town.
Oh, I don’t know. There’s lots of towns across the US that only came to be because it was a water stop. And in those towns the tracks still exist and the people living there commute to work.
The little town I grew up in had a trainyard and that’s why it existed. The yard is gone but there’s still active train lines going through town.
How vulnerable are those billionaire bunkers to earthquakes?
And per usual, there are people who claim issues of attraction and consent are transphobic
I’ve been tempted to do this for things like egg salad sandwiches and potato salad.
Oh, I bought the second one for parts but it turned out to be in better shape than my old one. So I moved a bunch of the parts from the first one over to the second, because neither was working before I did that.
Decades ago I was at the Visitors Center for the Western band of Cherokee and this woman was giving a talk next to a campfire, and the wind kept shifting. She kept moving and finally coughed and then apologized for the smoke blowing in everyone’s faces.
There was another guy there who was clearly hitting on her, and he said, “they say smoke follows beauty.” With comedic timing the wind shifted and blew the smoke towards him, and she, quick as lightning, said, “Smoke follows wind.”
(And in case you don’t know, in American English when someone is “windy” they talk a lot and don’t say much)
I had an Acer netbook that I ended up calling the Netbook of Theseus because I bought one in 2009, then several years later bought an identical one on eBay. I ran Linux on the thing and kept it until last year.
Go back to Reddit, go into PrequelMemes or SaltyAsCrait, and start talking about the Godawful dialogue in the prequels. Let us know how that goes.
…but it’s not a remake…?
Ignorance is a choice, too. I’ve met so many people who are proud of being ignorant. I once met a woman who was in her mid 30s who was explicitly against learning new things because…reasons?
Oh lort. You just gave me flashbacks. One of my kids bought one of those $200 Chuwi laptops and it would barf all over itself about once a month, so badly it would require a reinstall.
Couldn’t have doors in high school, we might try to smoke a joint in there after all.
I gave up on it because I’ve tried logging in via Jeroba, Connect, and Voyager on my phone, and no bueno. I don’t mind putting in some effort but eventually I give up.
