I once had a mama deer and her two fawns approach me in the woods while camping and let me pet them.

You can use any valid government issue identification to get alcohol. You don’t need a driver’s license, that is just the most common form of ID. You can use a passport, you can get an ID from the DMV that does not permit you to drive, you can even use a Merchant Mariner Card.

The idea of an airplane itself would he quite a stretch in 1876 considering the Wright brothers made their famous flight in 1903.

But instantaneous communication? They had telegraph at that time. Even international lines.

Just Cause!

No Cause!

What Cause?

It doesn’t create any new jobs. It just creates a task the already employed people at the store need to deal with. Walmart claims they have dedicsted cart wranglers, but every store I have worked at just made CAP go out and do it during lulls in other tasks.

Shiiiiit, just drop the “rewind.”

Depends. If they’re being a condescending twat, I’ll brusquely tell them I already know more than they do. Even if I don’t.

If you want to see the true creator of your reality, you just need to turn your eyes around to stare at your own brain.

If you sort everything by Newest Comments, then the votes don’t matter to anything and it is just a normal message board. 😌

I don’t really see a crossover that would make sense. Why would you move to a mostly text-only format forum from a short-form video site?

I’d be wondering if Loops has seen any significant rise in users, personally, considering it is basically TikTok for the Fediverse.

It’s the main metric by which you determine what posts are popular.

Much easier to determine vote manipulation when there is no central authority to handle it and the votes, as well as moderation actions, are publicly visible.

Not a whole album but I had found this little modern folk song specifically about the current state of the US a while back:

https://open.spotify.com/track/5ff9fGBykcLIctsvauVTod

Oh say can you see what I see The future ain’t what it used to be And I’m not proud of anything That I have seen tonight

So tell me ‘bout that flag you wave And what your bumper stickers say And how you parse apart your faith Who’s seated on the right?

So dress up in your suit and tie And say your thank yous real polite And raise your arm out to the sky Your fuhrer is your friend

And when that grifter steps in shit They lick his boots from heel to tip Or feel the wrath of all of it Praise Jesus Christ amen

Cause now we’re great again

Dissolve the law and federal courts Defund the peer reviewed reports Retract the hand that feeds the poor The hungry ones can’t speak

So raise a glass to business whores The autocrats and saboteurs And text the world about your wars Let flow your whiskey leaks

Berate the south, invade the north And conquer all impoverished shores Identify and then extort All those who lack defense

Forget the Paine of Common Sense We reign with our incompetence And designate all immigrants As sick and evil men

Cuz now… we’re great again

Then Francis Key tries to explain That freedom’s not a first class train Your red hat cannot be exchanged As credit toward your rent

The land of all the free’s a lie So where do all the brave reside The bombs are bursting through the sky That’s where your money went

A modern Betsy Ross has made A flag that fascists celebrate Our motto now commemorates The sword above the pen

No we are not inspired hosts Your huddled and your tired folks Are propaganda for our shows And we are not your friend

But now… we’re great again

Now weakness is admitting wrong So do your part and play along The showroom on the White House lawn Would make your grandad proud

So tell me who needs enemies When you’ve got Fox and friends like these Who spend the daytime on their knees In service to the crown

We bow down to the motorcades With banners and our boat parades The emperor we celebrate’s Not wearing anything

That starry spangled banner waves Goodbye to golden yesterdays The ramparts now have all been raised To clearly represent

That now… somehow… we are great again

I don’t think you’re in any danger if you are truly a human.

Your devices, OTOH…

Driver’s Ed was a mandatory course in my high school. I got my liscense at 16 a year before they raised the minimum age from 16 to 18 in my state.

Then, like 8 years ago I got a Class A and drove a school bus for about a month, but I didn’t like the responsibility of or dealing with all the kids. I’d rather take that and drive trucks all by myself, but trucking companies are bullshit these days. I can legally drive pretty much anything on 4+ wheels as long as I ain’t hauling hazardous chemicals (need a special thing/cert for that).

Religion is organized drugs?

What the fuck church are you smoking?

Makes me wonder what I would be called if I died in a car crash at my current age of 40 🤔

“That maniac just drove through the mall and took out Santa and 3 of his elves before crashing into the Spencer’s Gifts and exploding!”

Subconscious desires being met while conscience ones aren’t.

Honorable mention to the mouth harp; I am not sure how you can be good or bad at it.
