I'm liberal, have a larger than average dick, and have never worried for a second about its size. Also, have had at least 50+ lovers.

And I own shitloads of guns.

I'd question what's "unsafe", but this was bipartisan and unanimous. Hopefully the governor gets overruled by the legislature.

He's saying the call to close a beach should be local, not at the state level. Of course the locals will never close a beach. Anyone seen Jaws?

OTOH, I'm not aware of anywhere here in NW Florida that suffers pollution. Red tide maybe should call for a shutdown, and I believe it occasionally does.

And I have to agree. Anyone choking our economic lifeline isn't getting back in office to do it again. Seems an easy call when you're not fucking with 10's of thousands of livelihoods.

No idea what the answer is, but a higher authority (the state) should make the call.

Worked tech support for an ISP. The tech side was well managed and smart. (Left when that changed.)

The customer service side fielded TV and account related calls. They were driven by average calls times. What a cluster. Guess who straight hung up on customers when the call went too long? Some people would call be 4-5 times.

Meanwhile, we could take all the time it took to resolve. A 1-hour call is way cheaper than rolling a truck. Yet some assholes would roll trucks for nothing, then bitch there were no trucks left.

This is a whole paradigm shift, and it's not new.

Got me confused. Are you saying these tactics are new or not? I vote for new, mostly, kinda, but both at once. Sorta.

I like the 1910s and 1920s. It was the Cambrian explosion of inventions.

We have a Bloom County sub!

Be interested to see this. How might it work out? I'm confident in our military and their commanders though. These aren't your local cops fucking around. But what if...?

You either understand that climate change is real and the world's major threat, or you don't. Who thinks this won hearts and minds? If anything, it turned the fence sitters off.

I'm ordained in the Church of the FSM. Include me in the planning and execution stages.

Sears catalog and corn cobs. No lie.

LOL my god, I was gonna say. OP apparently lacks a rudimentary immune system as well. Or, is shoving that tp way, way too deep. And leaving it there.

My wife got me to install a bidet. Can't remember to try it. Been 8-months, still forget.

I've got hole saw bits, forgot! You can get 1/2" mats cheap enough, but wanted to try what I already have which is thinner.

Watched Beetlejuice with the kids last night. Not as funny as I remember, and they weren't laughing either.

OTOH, we all thought The Lost Boys was still pretty cool.

Blazing Saddles next?

"Don't be a Sucker"

Everyone is fat, no one moves around. Hmmm... Chicken and egg problem? More on that.

In 70's elementary school, we started gym class with a 1-mile jog, twice around the track. I can't imagine the kids I see walking home from the middle school doing that. We also had 3 recess periods. Asked my step-son about his recess breaks. "What's recess?"

No, I'm not laying all the blame on my anecdotes, but it is interesting. As I get older, the harm becomes more and more obvious. Not something my young self thought of because A) hardly anyone was fat in school (nothing like today) and B) I was a scrawny kid, not my problem.

I see so much harm that I'd ignored, or it wasn't as prevalent. People at the store who can't walk normally, people with mobility gear, almost every person in my doctor's waiting room is obese, stuff like that. Ever notice that most everyone you see in an ankle brace or the like is well overweight?

It's sad seeing the things they're left out of. Met a big girl online, wasn't interested in dating, but she wanted to kayak. Only person I've ever met that actually fell out, repeatedly. Center of gravity far too high. Hiking to the local creek is a non-starter if you're too big, over a mile of deep, sandy trail. Tough for me to make the round trip and I'm only 145lbs.

I never see fat people on the trail or any kind of unpowered boat. OK, not fair, I see some on river where the kayak/canoe rentals places go, but it's clearly a rare lark for them. (I'd be an obvious noob if a regular jogger or regular beach goer saw me farting around.)

Back to the chicken and egg. Maybe some overweight people can chime in. Know the old saw about fat people being (physically) lazy? Do you get fat from not moving or not moving because it's too hard? As I age I see how easy it is to hit a downward spiral with health. Arthritis is eating my hands, but it gets worse if I don't use them.

Done skipping work. Going outside to work and see what I can manage.

Dry them in the sun, reduces wear a great deal. Also nukes fungi.
