  • I only found out about our county trying to sneak a data center in after the plan had already been withdrawn. They were working on all of it in closed meetings but fortunately some folks found out and when they brought it out in the open where the community would see, it quickly disappeared. Now we're all on watch for when they try this shit again.

  • you risk making yourself a target if folks get pissed off enough

    They would have to be paying attention enough to notice, first. Sinclair and others steadily gobbling up local tv and radio stations has created local news deserts across the nation.

  • Why do local politicians do this

    Because too many people in the US only vote once every 4 years in national elections and don't pay attention to their local ones.

  • Wow. So sorry to hear ypu had to live through that but I'm glad you made it through.

  • My bet is there is no gift. This asshole could never refrain from bragging about what he extorted.

    Unless, as many have posited here, it is a trojan horse.

    Something of immense value that he doesn't want to disclose in public?

  • Pvc is relatively cheap. Submersible pump could be as cheap as $10. Expanded clay is also affordable. Not sure about the design, though.

  • I only mentiomed it as a precautionary thing. I use boss all the time and can hardly recall receiving negative reactions, but it might be received poorly in other places. One of many downsides to living in a redneck state is that some intolerable shit is normalized.

  • I've only been to the Saint Louis ren faire but I hear from friends that have been to both StL and Kansas City, MO ren faires that the KC one is bigger and better. StL's was vastly improved by moving from August to October. August + river valley at the confluence of several large rivers = swamp boil.

  • As a former flight attendant I can attest to this. If people knew how often their pilots used the cockpit O2 to cure hangovers there would be a lot less people comfortable with flying. At least in the US, that is. I can't speak for other countries.

  • Growing up my neighbors were both deaf from birth and they were able to talk well enough for a child to understand without problems. I was friends with their son and a few times went with their family to gatherings at their friends' houses where the vast majority of attendees were also deaf.

    I haven't thought about this for a lomg long time and now I need to reflect on how that helped shape me into the person I became.

    I regret not learning ASL from them when I probably could have.

  • But yeah I just got on a boat and sailed away from it all. Worked somewhere that gave me food housing and a routine till I could get better and I would say I am and things are.

    Elsewhere you said you sold yourself into indentured servitude, but this sounds amazing to me. Guessing by the servitude comment it wasn't ideal?

  • Make sure you take appropriate steps to insulate your spouse or family from the debt, depending on your local laws.

  • Mostly southern but definitely prisons as well. Predominant in chain gang type situations. An example more people might be familiar with would be Morgan Freeman's line "bathroom break, boss?" in Shawshank Redemption when he's been paroled and working at the grocery store. Yes, it's from a movie but it's also a reverence more likely to resonate. Shawshank takes place in the Northeast, hence prison...uh, "culture".

  • Love seeing this.

  • Like apple maps doesn't suck enough already?

    I wish it was better because that's the map DDG pulls up in search. Wonder if those ads are going to show in DDG sesrches now.

  • Call up your local NAACP and find activist groups to be a part of. Advocate for yourself instead of waiting for whitey to save you from the mess they created.

  • Oracle goimg broke would make me orgasm so hard I would probably break something in me.

  • Aren't there still thousands missing from last term?

  • Renaissance fairs all over the midwest.
