Welcome to Thunderdome

Suddenly my FB feed is FULL of all these posts about what a piece of shit JD Vance is, and last week I'd never even heard of him.

How did so many people become experts on this guy, so fast?

Since the divorce I took my kid on at least 2 adventure vacations per year. My version of a "Live, Laugh, Love" sign in the living room says "Be Bold," and there's pictures of our adventures all around it. My 18 year old, studying abroad in South Korea: "We have a 4-day wee...

Ghostbusters: she's a cello player. No other visible source of income. Has a "corner penthouse" at Spook Central, which is an apartment overlooking Central Park. Is short with her mother on the phone, but expresses "love to dad." My guess is she's a trust fund baby. Dated another...

My house is 22.9 miles from Canada, as the crow flies.

I feel like single digit damages is way too low. SOme airlines are still fucked up. Domino effect.

It does seem like decoy countermeasures would be useful.

I haven't seen this movie for so long that I probably shouldn't be trying to in-depth discuss it.

Trends I've seen from my peripheral vision, glancing at headlines over the last couple days:

1. OMG KAMALA HARRIS IS FUCKING AWESOME.

2. Trump was shot? Nah. He's being super mean.

Day 1 of moving in I'd be all like, "WTF why is there a nail here *hammer/tap tap tap* there fixed. Someone could have stepped on that."

I like Troy. He played UO. And was a good DM.

Empire State Building. There's a whole production if you're going to the observation deck. First you wind through tons of lore and shit, then finally the elevator. The ceiling of the elevator is part of the show. There's a screen, and as you ascend, through the ceiling, you get a quick thing like......

Hiked 3 miles from WTC, to the train station. No problem. Did I mention I won the room upgrade auction for the ride back? That means I get to use the Amtrak lounge in NYC, it turns out. And this place is noice. All clean with free food and drinks and such. So that was a nice surprise I didn't expect...

Actually, I'll retract the statement anyway, and apologize, if.it bothered you, because that's what friends do. I intended no offense, we are where we are on the political spectrum and I think all y'all are sick if you participate. :-D I'm just saying that the angry defense of Biden came off a certa...

Successfully navigated the subway this morning. A pretty girl was more than happy to help me find the correct stop. (My blue eyes are devastating, sometimes).

But I did the pilgrimage, and now I feel it in my heart, I know Who I Would Call (pbut)

I would assume from the things you've said, everyone here considers you super liberal. If they disagree I would retract the statement and admit to being wrong.

And I can prove I love you in a way these other yahoos can't.

Ok, dog. We still love you even though you're the only sane one among us who can see the truth.

Too bad UnoBill no longer posts here. He was also super liberal and took things to heart.

My view while I eat a couple slices. That is ESB caddycorner.

I don't know why every vehicle on Manhattan isn't an EV. They would dominate in this environment.

I won the "private room upgrade" auction again, for the train ride back. After seeing the mad Max hellscape that is coach class, I think it's a worthy spend for a 15 hour trip.

Since I bid the bare minimum possible, that is.
