Probably salt on roads. Sea air kinda rots everything, salty roads just the bottom.

Hello fellow shithead. I am 37 now, I have two kids, and my biggest worry is identifying the shitty, stupid behaviors I had as a kid, and trying to find them in my own kids, and figuring out what, if anything, I can do to prevent them from making the stupid mistakes I made. They are not even close to 15 at this point, so I’ve got some years to prepare.

That’s not today that I don’t at least appreciate, just a little, what the OP is saying. I can’t forget that my kids are humans with their own ideas. I don’t want to stifle their creativity and their growth. But what they cannot possibly understand, and what I’m continuing to learn to this day, is just how big an impact some small decisions can have.

You’ve flown or you’ve flown in? Presumable the former, but I know people from where I’m from use flown to mean flown in. If you’ve only been airborne three times, and all in separate crafts, that’s something special in and of itself.

First grade, they piled all the classes together, because it’s 1993 and we only have one laserdisc player, and we need to watch a video on pollution. Main topics were acid rain and smog and that shit has been with me for 30 years, I will never forget it.

Every board is a politics board … Forever…

None of it happened while Ds had any modicum of control either. Bernie represents what the democratic party should be, not what it is and has been. They pivoted hard to the status quo and we are footing the bill.

I know everyone wants to believe in this apocalypse, but that’d lead to a very obvious civil war, and despite Donald Trump claiming to not represent business interests, there’s way too much money to be made by a stable America existing. So any hope you have of this somehow being the end, I just don’t share it. The oligarchy marches on.

I’m an American. I actually like America, for what it’s worth. Canada, however, has the superior anthem.

I’m with you. I’ve been having a harder time getting up. Looking forward to having the sun at 7 o’clock latest, get me up, because I got shit to do. I can stay awake no problem.

For me, water goes in, stays forever. Something that’s happened since I’ve aged. Swam competitively in high school, never had a problem. Now, if I tilt my head wrong in the shower, good luck.

Hell March was a jam, whoever wrote it hopefully got an award. I got a kick out of how From First to Last eventually remade it too, the song transcended the game.

suck air through a shag carpet.

Welp, that’s a new euphemism.

Is it Swans Laughter or Swan Slaughter? And is it heavy swancore? I’ll give it a listen tomorrow!

Grew up in the '90s, really loved Red Alert, loved the movie Clue, and so to see Tim Curry join in was a pretty special thing for me as a kid. Guy was awesome.

Whenever I watch movies, sometimes I need to remind myself not to get caught up and to just allow the story to tell itself.

Yeah, and your head should rest up on it, hence the name and all that. It is there for that rear-ended collision. If you are leaned way forward, now it’s just something for you to hit, but if you are headresting, it’ll absorb some of the impact and prevent (or reduce) that cervical spine injury. Anytime I’m at a stop, especially in traffic, I try to remind myself to put my head back, just in case. It’ll be the time I forget that I get rear-ended though.

Yeah, I’ve turned into the one who doesn’t want to go out anymore, but I’m also going out tonight because I know the door swings both ways and that relationships don’t maintain themselves. I think my friends get it, and I get it, and so we remain friends.

My town has a golden retriever. He’s basically just a mascot, he goes around with one of the school resource officers, helps police engage with young people in the community. I know this is not exactly what you’re referring to.

I’m a stenographer. People ask me if I am concerned with AI taking my job and I say notttt yettt.

I have been very fortunate to have good service for essentially the entirety of my life of broadband. Only going back to when optimum first showed up, they were the only game in town, and it would have issues during times of day when there was too much traffic at the node. Since FiOS showed up (not to shill), it’s honestly been phenomenal, when you put aside the typical bullshit the providers pull. The actual service of packets in packets out, or whatever the Internet is, has been great.
