@89th said in The Love Warriors: Maybe it's the rejection of the value of faith, family, traditions, and community. Maybe I'm turning into a @Jolly apostle. That I believe is true. But it's important to remember that we've never had to deliberately choose to have those things like we do now. For most people, abandoning these things wasn't a conscious choice—they just have lifestyles that now would require them to put in extra work to maintain them, and we've never been in that position before. No one had to work on being part of a community, we couldn't avoid it if we wanted to. These are all slightly new problems.

Link to video A tragic car crash in Missouri yesterday was captured on a video from a neighbor's home. In the video you can see a car flying through the air at a high rate of speed before it slammed into a house. The female driver was killed in the crash. Luckily, several people who were inside the home at the time escaped injury.

More Russian saber rattling.

Ah, the TDS is strong within you...

He’ll be 16 in 9 months but by that time the nannies would be about to birth their own.

The shadows of the microphones make it look like his nipples are leaking.

@Tom-K said in Where you gonna sit?: I'd like to trade chord progressions with Taylor. Is that what they’re calling it these days?

Forget the Banana I'm saving my pennies to buy the Monet.

I have heard of something like that, but I think in Californai. Groups come in on legitimate visas and are here for a couple of months robbing and stealing.

Quite an interesting chart.

@jon-nyc said in Cormac McCarthy's secret muse: See what you’re missing for $20 a month? Hay I'm retired and I gotta save money for (cheap) Scotch watch where the money goes.
