Sounds like a boy band Christmas album track to me!

No, tornadoes are the best natural disaster in my opinion, because you get warning with sirens, news alerts, and text messages from the weather service that I learned about when we were potentially in the path of a tornado. Then you go to the tornado shelter or safest place and hunker down. It all becomes routine…

I didn’t know that was a mood, but I just realized I’m always in that mood!

Enacting sensible gun legislation is another solution.

I think the problem here is in the emergency response system. The shooter leaving and returning via the emergency exit should have triggered an alarm. A shooter entering the front door and shooting in the lobby should also trigger an alarm, allowing the patrons in the theaters to escape via the emergency exits.

Visit all the national parks you can! They are all amazing in their own ways. I’m extremely biased, but Yellowstone is the best. It is unlike any other place on earth. If you stick to the boardwalk/high traffic areas you will be completely safe as long as you don’t approach any wildlife or go off the marked areas. If…

I was camping in Sequoia National Park in CA and the family in the next site over set “bear bait” of crushed egg shells, bacon grease, and leftovers around their site because they wanted to see black bears. I was really unamused and my family told the rangers about their idiocy.

As someone who worked there for two summers, they do. Employees tend to be college-age and are still in the invincible stage of life. There is also A LOT of drinking because you live in dorms with terrible internet and no TV and are 1-3 hours from the nearest town, so there’s not much to do but drink and hike in your…

Has her hearing been tested since she was a little kid? I have quite good hearing and noises that others accept as the background hum of life are all disinct and annoying to me, especially appliances and electronics (computer/console fans for example).

Brock Turner. I try to forget mass shooters’ names so they don’t get the notoriety they want. But a piece of shit rapist? Every time he intoduces himself, I want people to recoil. Notoriety is what he needs to cure his affluenza.

Hug them so much for me. Both my dogs (3 and 4) passed away suddenly and unrelatedly in the past three months. I miss them so much, and feel robbed. Dogs are amazing gifts to us.

Links to statements from Stein that prove she is an anti-vaxxer please? I keep seeing this, but the only statements from her I find is that she is anti-big-pharma and pro-vaccination.

She’s not an anti-vaxxer, she’s stated many times that vaccines are the reason we have been able to control diseases like measles and polio. She is also against using the military as guinea pigs for new vaccinations without their knowledge and consent. She is against pharmaceutical companies controlling the regulatory…

What, honestly, are Bernie supporters supposed to do at this point? There are six options: Trump, Hillary, Stein, Johnson, not voting, or writing someone in.

Trump is a lunatic. Not a good option.

I’ve taken 5 First Aid/CPR classes in 10 years because I can’t stand to be useless in an emergency. I’ve had to actually put my training into action just 3 really serious times. I have pretty bad anxiety, but being useful keeps me from becoming a mess. Once paramedics arrive I usually start trembling from the…

I have nothing of value to contribute, but about a month ago my dog died and my fiance dumped me and I fled from Ohio to here (Seattle. Well technically Everett for right now.) Still looking for a job, but hopefully I get some responses to interviews I had this week. If anyone has any other ideas I’d love to hear…

What? Game 5 was highly competitive and entertaining. A bunch of lead changes and it stayed pretty tight most of the game.

As someone who also lives with anxiety and panic attacks, thank you for being so respectful of her mental health. You absolutely can make a difference in many ways!

Very understandable. My mom has handled almost 30 years with my dad going on trips to places like Israel and Colombia and me going to protests and travelling too, so she has a long cultivated attitude of “I don’t like this and I’m going to be worried, but they’re going to do what they feel they have to do.”

My mom doesn’t want me to go to a vigil tonight, but I explained to her that it is important to me to stand with love and unity against hate. She’s worried but said she understands. For me, it’s not just being a supportive ally, but also a strong American. We all came together to heal after 9/11, and we need that…
