Thank you, I think you summed it up quite well. Also I love your username!

And since it's on a mountainside, you'd pretty much have to dynamite it.

Ha yeah, probably wouldn't work so well in its current form. But it's just so much better than the actual shrugging emojis out there.

He was trying so damned hard to make them work, but even his charisma wasn't enough. He deserves this movie as a mea culpa.

I feel like we're letting Stan down here.

I want: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've said it before, I'll say it again. When this motherfucker dies, they're going to have to bury him under tons of cement or cremate him, because that corpse is gonna get so many kinds of desecrated.

As someone who lives in Idaho, my vote for "hinterlands" would be the desert wasteland out near INL. So like Atomic City, Arco, etc.

As Powerthirteen notes, while the Aryan Nations got their compound confiscated and lost rights to even using their name (hahaha), there's still plenty of supremacists and survivalists in Northern Idaho. Sometimes in southern Idaho now too.

There's a reason Plato thought only educated people should make governing decisions.

Hell if we're leaning on "beauty" to choose statues, how about some copies of Greek art? Our state capitol building has a copy of "Winged Victory" that was a gift from France after WWII. It's pretty nice.

I live in a city that has at least two statues of Lincoln (one of them larger than life size-which is awesome) and I think everyone should have one too! Abe Lincolns for everybody!

I kind of wish Tarkovsky's former AD would show up one last time before the Kinjapocalypse.

Ah the Basque language, which is basically a giant shrug of "no clue" from linguists trying to trace its origin.

My family is German originally, but when I did our ancestry, it turned out we've been here in America since like the 1680s. So I don't think I can really make a claim to anything German. Especially since it would have been Hesse at the time, not actually a unified Germany.

I live in a state where they're not required to wear helmets. There were like six of them killed in a two week stretch at the beginning of the summer. Something something Darwin.

Not even that! Your parents may have fucked somewhere else, but your mom managed to give birth to you in a particular place. Huzzah for you.

I grew up in a rural farming community which had/has many migrant workers from Mexico. I worked with them for several summers in high school at an orchard. Whenever anyone makes some slight about "lazy Mexicans", I immediately shut them down. Because those folks work harder than I ever will in my life and I have…

Ooh we should replace any Confederate statues in Atlanta with statues of Sherman, just to dig the knife in a little…
