Probably true, since they are a bunch of cowards without their guns and anonymity.

It’s in Tempe, which is a college town and usually a lot more “variety of ideas friendly” area. It’s a big ass state, not gone down the rabbit hole of how gerrymandered we might be, but I’m listed in a town by address that is nowhere near where my “local” library, grocery, etc which is another town.

There is a lot of wild west expanse and geriatric retirement that keeps a red hold, Tempe isn’t far from Phoenix downtown where I went to a fucking awesome Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, The Linda Linda’s concert last week. I was quite impressed at the the number of both old and young punks that showed up and packed the place! Openly anti trump remarks through the show… not too many left early even, despite the traffic… hmmm…

And, this shit was done overnight, who the hell did they think they might get, janitorial staff? Random underpaid security guard? What fucking dickbags man. Random violence is bad, putting people just doing their jobs, regardless of political affiliation, is just really poor form.

I saw the negativity points to your remark, which should generally be “well yeah… it’s the wild red west?!” Thought some of this may shed a light on that response?

(And, wanted to squeeze in that my old ass stayed up for a whole Green Day show, on a school night!)

Edit: btw, I live in bfe, no way in hell am I putting on a bumper sticker or a sign in my yard. Out of town, there’s lots of crazies with guns. Edit, edit: fixed a, guess half of a sentence got typed… elsewhere?

I lived there for almost a decade, about a decade and a half ago. It was so run down and dying then. People wouldn’t come see us there that we had known all our lives because it was so dangerous. Pizza places wouldn’t deliver down our street, we would have to walk to the main corner to get delivery. We paid a crack head to watch our house while we were away for a weekend.

I was in disbelief back when I heard about the factories deciding to build there after we had up and left… finally, after barely scraping enough together from living and working there. I wondered how they would fare but didn’t follow up on it then.

I researched and verified everything you said above, and informed some other family on Fb, that was trying to stir the shit. They would hear none of it.

I found them when in need of a decent priced bong over a decade ago, haha!

This is really awesome! I saw your post the other day about it and thought it was a great idea. You work quick! I already found a new community I would not have thought to look for otherwise.

It is hard for me to see and manipulate on mobile, but that’s totally on me. So I’ll be back in a bit. I’m sure someone smarter than me may have more helpful input than that if you are looking for feedback!

So I thought I was gonna head to bed, but… guess I can stay up and peruse for a little while…

Thank you!!

I like Sleep as Android. I have had it for so many years though, I apologize that I cannot remember if it is part of the premium upgrade. Has tons of custom sleep and wake settings.

I am a light sleeper and really like that I can set it to just vibrate for a time. If that didn’t wake me up it will start a random song and increase in volume.

I like it! I don’t know to look for something if I don’t know it exists yet. Something like this would really help with browsing.

No prob Mr Maggoty. Figured I couldn’t be the only one curious, why make more folks dive down that rabbit hole.

Not OP but it got my brain curious. Found several different sites about it, here are 2 that seem fairly reputable. Apparently a 12yr old genealogy buff did an extensive search to map the presidents and came across some connections that kept them going till they found the chain of relatives for each one.

It doesn’t seem like “put on your tin foil hat close-related”, more “if you go back far enough most of us are kin in some way related”. Though, the fact that the only one who is not related, was actually appointed instead of elected, does make it look a little weird.

A true hero!

He’s still got millions, so it’s not that bad.

Except the fact that his “down to millions” is a setback and not a planned reinvestment in the economy or something.

mumble mumble…“trickle down”… mumble …My ass…

Brought peace?

Irrigation! I need to rewatch this, it’s been too long.

Roads?

This is where I want my body to go when I die! I have looked into the details so that my will could be updated to make sure everyone knows I’m not just saying it, I mean it. Hope by the time I pass I live a little closer to one to make it easier on my fam to get my body there.

Sure, but he’s unwilling to let others grow and make their own choices in their time. Just because you don’t do something anymore is no reason to ban everyone else from doing it now, let alone criminalize it. He got to be curious and explore who he is, he should be letting others do the same. Exposing this stuff helps show what he is taking away from others even though it was OK when he did it.

I’m thinking, if you got to have fun, minding your own business… not hurting anyone; No matter how much you may have grown or changed and no longer like or approve of doing those activities, you don’t get to be part of a brigade that strips the rights from people who DO choose to and again, aren’t hurting anyone. You don’t get to incite violence against people who are Minding Their Own Fucking Business without the bare minimum of getting exposed for being a fucking hypocritical piece of shit.

It absolutely does. We need to fix it very badly. And we will have 0 chance of that with the current Maga candidate if they get back into office. This time it does matter greatly to keep the self imagined god-king from getting anywhere near our presidency again if we hope to have any chance of a future reform. As soon as those votes get tallied in Nov and he is out, I’m back to burn it all till you take out the electoral college and give us better options for election choices.

Our presidential election is coming up this fall and we are on the ledge of losing our democracy depending on the outcome. It’s kinda on our minds quite a bit.

I once met a caravan of “Roadkill” vegans. They would not eat anything animal related unless it was for sure going to go to waste. They had pamphlets on how to make sure if the meat was spoiled or not, processing guides on how to get the most use of animals, all kinds of info I found very surprising from what I had known of veganism.
