That would make entirely too much sense which is why I would never assume they are actually doing that.

still sounds contrived. I would expect that kind of dialogue from a kid acting in a 1950's era show like Leave It to Beaver.

That all sounds like it adds up to "Not worth the risk."

Back to hibernation with ye!

Your commitment to this is almost impressive.

You sound like an angry person. Need a hug?

I wish America could return to a time where people weren't so addicted to anger and vitriol.

Terrible mountain must be quite terrific.

Most people don't care as long as you aren't an asshole. If you are an asshole, being an out-of-stater is really the least of the issues. The fact that I am an 'out of stater' never even comes up in day to day interactions.

I don't think that you're going to find anyone reasonable that disagrees with the sentiment on its face but it's also important to realize that people are going to capitalize off this trend with bullshit.

They already have.

There was that politician just yesterday or the day before. Articles posted were claiming he was "physically assaulted" when he wasn't touched or they were conspicuously omitting any details about the alleged assailant which may lead the reader to draw false conclusions about their political leanings.

We need to condemn the actual violence but we also need to view every instance we read about with some level of skepticism rather than jumping to conclusions.

Most posts I see about him on this sub are about him fucking birds. It's hilarious.

Ostriches, eagles, ducks.

I find this with large trucks a lot when they are behind me. A mix between not aligned properly and them riding my ass too close to be safe causing the lights to shine straight into my rear view mirror.

Higher density residential leaves more room for nature than the equivalent average sized housing.

This Gerald Malloy is quite absurd

He'll try to get it on with a bird

Any breed he will fuck

Ostrich, eagle, or duck

He is really just a massive turd

Well fuck a duck. Or an eagle...

Pratchett has one of these hermits in the book Snuff.

Some are cool some are total assholes. More than anything, they are people.

Like cops, a higher percentage of certain personality types may be more prone to joining, however, but I think the police attract more assholes than the military.

Really? I gathered that he is a turd.

There's gotta be a poem in here somewhere.

Totally understand that, too. Though another part of me is just curious enough about what, if anything, comes next to where I'd probably accept it when it happens. And, if nothing comes next, then I won't be around to lodge a complaint with life's supervisor.

> A disturbing number of people have a heart condition slowly killing them and they don't even know it.

No doubt. But, if they don't even know it, they can't be suffering too much at least. A quick death with minimal suffering is better than one full of years of pain, like a cancer slowly eating you away while the treatment you are receiving for it eats you away even more.

I'm not familiar with the guy but the article doesn't mention any major health issues leading up to this.

He died fairly young. It's sad and tragic. But many of us would be so lucky. I've seen enough people deteriorate for years before finally losing their fight. That's so much harder on themselves and everyone around them.

Actions speak louder than words.

I'm under 40. I've lived in a ton of other places both rural and urban all over the country. I've had my share of a wide variety of things people consider fun. Raves, concerts, festivals, bars within walking distance on the beach, you name it.

It really all depends who you are and what you find entertaining.
