Don’t worry about what trump actually thinks. The message that he is sending to his supporters is that “they” (could be the media, Democrats, minorities, “Antifa,” “socialists,” doesn’t matter) want to “change things” (maybe as something as simple as Columbus, maybe something as complex as the proper role of police in…

And de-indoctrinate them. They are implanted and brainwashed with the thought that every potential interaction with the public, no matter how innocuous, is an imminent threat to their life, which (in their mind) justifies rapid escalation to lethal force rather than deescalation.

I will probably be shamed out of existence for this, but I have been going out to eat probably twice a week for the last several weeks. Was it a little bizarre the first time? Sure. At this point, do I worry about exposure to (or exposing others to) COVID at restaurants? Not really. While it’s surely not the only…

I dunno, I’ve been informed by people who traffic in only the best Facebook memes that COVID is over now.

My dad had a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda, and then a 1968 Road Runner. 

You’re lucky it was code enforcement, and not a HOA. Code enforcement officers tend to be relatively understanding and flexible, and have an attitude of helping people comply with codes, while a lot of HOA trustees are just bored people with authority complexes who delight in making other people’s lives difficult. 

I have a 2014 S60 with 125K. I recently had to replace the A/C compressor, and had to put in new front struts at ~80K but otherwise it’s been perfectly fine. 

I have never not enjoyed a movie that Tom Cruise has been in, which is something I can’t say about very many actors.

I was a big fan of Tex Critter’s Pizza Jamboree way back when

On long road trips, my brother and I would simply lay down. We took turns to see who got the bench and who had to bend their knees over the transmission tunnel laying on the floorboards.

Amen. Jack in the Box has like 4 times the number of menu items it actually needs. (though once they messed up and gave me one of those chicken pita things...it wasn’t bad, but I’m never going to order one on purpose)

We are not yet at the point where someone like James Miller will be sent to a camp. Yet.

The article doesn’t say, but I wonder how this regulation applies to child custody? Because I cannot imagine that would fly in the USA if it purported to prohibit kids from going to their regularly scheduled stay at the other parent’s house. In my situation, for example, although there is joint legal and physical…

It was a different time, when cars needed to refuel more frequently because of poor gas mileage, and trips took longer in general because of lower speed limits on these two-lane highways compared to interstates. And you were essentially forced to stop for the night because very few places were open 24 hours, unlike…

It’s sort of a weird state of being to believe that a) you absolutely MUST HAVE powerful weapons in order to stand up against the tyranny of the federal government; but also b) American troops would never ever fire on their fellow (white) Americans.

I have no doubt it will all eventually get eaten.

Several weeks ago, my girlfriend went out and panic-bought about $200 worth of pork products. All of it is still sitting in the deep freezer. Maybe this weekend, if it ever stops raining, we’ll have some sort of porkstravaganza.

I have operated under the theory that The Road Warrior, Beyond Thunderdome, and Fury Road are all the same story, told from different perspectives and at a temporal remove from the events in question, by people who may or may not have been present during the events. Sort of like the Gospels.

A fun fact, relevant to no one but me: my first date was to see Top Gun in the theater.

But that’s all it ever was, an appearance. They were pretending to be objective. Objectivity is a myth.
