Well, 40 years ago it was easy to find really good blow anywhere.

God I hate the time we live in.

It’s funny because I definitely remember this happening while using Netscape Navigator to access our Prodigy-peovided internet.

I remember clicking on a website and getting ABSOLUTELY BOMBSRDED WITH NEVERENDING POPUPS OF HARDCORE PORN PICS AND SOUND and my parents were behind me, and you just panic reboot the computer.

I don’t pretend to be an expert on salt (though I have certainly listened to the testimony of experts on salt), but I do know there are different compounds that all fall under the general heading of “salt,” despite some of them not being salt at all. And that heading is probably one coined by a layman like myself.

As far as whether the other compounds are responsible for corrosion the way tradition salt would be, I have no idea!

Probably salt on roads. Sea air kinda rots everything, salty roads just the bottom.

Hello fellow shithead. I am 37 now, I have two kids, and my biggest worry is identifying the shitty, stupid behaviors I had as a kid, and trying to find them in my own kids, and figuring out what, if anything, I can do to prevent them from making the stupid mistakes I made. They are not even close to 15 at this point, so I’ve got some years to prepare.

That’s not today that I don’t at least appreciate, just a little, what the OP is saying. I can’t forget that my kids are humans with their own ideas. I don’t want to stifle their creativity and their growth. But what they cannot possibly understand, and what I’m continuing to learn to this day, is just how big an impact some small decisions can have.

You’ve flown or you’ve flown in? Presumable the former, but I know people from where I’m from use flown to mean flown in. If you’ve only been airborne three times, and all in separate crafts, that’s something special in and of itself.

First grade, they piled all the classes together, because it’s 1993 and we only have one laserdisc player, and we need to watch a video on pollution. Main topics were acid rain and smog and that shit has been with me for 30 years, I will never forget it.

Every board is a politics board … Forever…

None of it happened while Ds had any modicum of control either. Bernie represents what the democratic party should be, not what it is and has been. They pivoted hard to the status quo and we are footing the bill.

Yep. Affect is verb; effect is noun. That’s how I remember. Editing text is a major part of my job, and I still sometimes have to step back and use the rule.

And just to head them off, there’s exceptions to rules and I just don’t care about them.

I’m an American. I actually like America, for what it’s worth. Canada, however, has the superior anthem.

I’m with you. I’ve been having a harder time getting up. Looking forward to having the sun at 7 o’clock latest, get me up, because I got shit to do. I can stay awake no problem.

That’s not the gentrification I’ve been hearing about.

For me, water goes in, stays forever. Something that’s happened since I’ve aged. Swam competitively in high school, never had a problem. Now, if I tilt my head wrong in the shower, good luck.

suck air through a shag carpet.

Welp, that’s a new euphemism.

Whenever I watch movies, sometimes I need to remind myself not to get caught up and to just allow the story to tell itself.

Yeah, and your head should rest up on it, hence the name and all that. It is there for that rear-ended collision. If you are leaned way forward, now it’s just something for you to hit, but if you are headresting, it’ll absorb some of the impact and prevent (or reduce) that cervical spine injury. Anytime I’m at a stop, especially in traffic, I try to remind myself to put my head back, just in case. It’ll be the time I forget that I get rear-ended though.

Yeah, I’ve turned into the one who doesn’t want to go out anymore, but I’m also going out tonight because I know the door swings both ways and that relationships don’t maintain themselves. I think my friends get it, and I get it, and so we remain friends.
