TIL they made Inside Out 2. I'll have to check it out eventually, first one was good enough.

Yeah this is a pretty classic case of "heartbreaking, the worst person you know just made a great point"

I wish I had the same mindset, but moderates have shown time and time again throughout history that they will side with outright fascism rather than any amount of actual social progress.

The conclusion is the same though. Get your ass our there and vote

E: words is hard

Gotta love Not Deer. I know it's just CWD or similar, but man when you're alone in the woods and come across one, shit is unnerving

Grandparents had lead in the brain, I got plastic in my balls

Wonder what's next

Azeris might do a similar thing to them now

Now? You mean like they've been trying on and off for a long ass time now?

I'm not sure you know how dad jokes work. Most of them are simply awful, no good, terrible, and very bad. That's the point.

Right? I've never understood how that became a stereotype in the first place. Fried chicken is basically ubiquitous in all cultures in one form or another, including Europe. Turns out the vast majority of people like deep fried meat. Were southern elites just lying their asses off like "fried chicken? Yeah, disgusting. Totally hate it"?

Such a dumb fucking stereotype

I can't speak for the person you replied to's experience, but in mine it's usually either a car hit a powerline pole or a storm knocked a tree/branch into some lines and cut it. While I'm sure it's technically possible to make powerlines that can survive tornadoes, that's not practical.

In the case of a car causing it, it's rarely down for more than an hour. Usually less. Storms can be anywhere for a few minutes to hours depending on how bad it is/how big the effected area is. If I had to guess, I lose power for >30min probably twice a year. Mostly depends on how bad tornado season is.

Worst I've personally experienced was ~12 hours after a really bad storm knocked out power to a really, really big area. We got unlucky and were towards the end of the repair cycle.

Then you have Texas, who run their own grid separate from the national grid. It fails when it gets too cold. Not too much of an issue, it's Texas, doesn't get that cold too often. Problem is it also fails when it gets too hot. That's very much an issue, it's Texas, it gets hot real often.

and for them it's easier than ever to live the life off an artist.

I am not an artist,

Very obviously

And it works, and may actually be effective at spreading your cause, the first couple times

After that, everyone already knows who you are and what you want, so the only thing they think of the next time you come up is "these assholes again?"

USPIS, the United States Postal Inspection Service. They've got something like a 98% conviction rate if it goes to trial. You do not fuck with the mail cops.
