You know the sad part about Disclosure Day is “How would finding proof of alien life affect Christians’ view on their religion” is a rich and fascinating premise.

Nothing say America quite like the combo of National Parks and boomers with swollen diabetic edema legs.

I hope Sandbatch isn't too hung over, or sweaty, wherever he is.

We did CPR on a little girl that wrapped herself up in curtains. Maybe 6, tiny. So hypoxic & pale her skin looked like a watercolor brown. Almost the entire time all 290lbs of mom screamed at the limp body, not in grief or in pleading, but anger at the girl going near the window.
One of my first "noticing" memories was when my dad saved two black kids at the beach from an undertow, and when he got them to shore, the mother started screaming at them, even though they were already obviously terrified, and never bothered to even say "Thanks" to my dad.

Max came over in '95, the first job he got was a parking lot attendant. His English was good but he didn't think so, he assumed he was watching the cars of the rich or influential. One day he asks a driver what work he did, guy said he painted ads on store windows. Huge shock.
My first week in the United States, almost 30 years ago. I walked into an American Breakfast Diner for the first time.
“You can have steak for breakfast”
I exclaimed as I read the menu. Guess what I ordered?
5 minutes later I remember scolding the waitress
“I didn’t order more coffee” as she refilled my cup.
“There’s no extra charge” she said as she poured.
I left full of steak, eggs and gallon of coffee.
What a country. I had to pinch myself.

He had the biggest problem with cars, he told me. Cars in the USSR were expensive, hard to get. I think the first one he bought here was an Escort, he couldn't square the circle of there being -so many- cheap cars but people still choosing to buy pricy, relatively plain cars.

When I worked with him, he drove a great big Expedition with bog tires.

Remember during Covid how they were going to make everyone who didn't get vaccinated unemployable? Then when we avoided it by the narrowest of margins, they began lying that it ever happened in the first place?

anyone remember during COVID times they told us not to use hand air dryers because it wasn’t as hygienic as paper towels?
then post covid they removed paper towels from many bathrooms because it cost too much to re-supply?

Mom had 3 stomach rolls. She was grossly obese but not excessively so, her body shape & proportions were something out of a textbook. The kid had green pajamas, her hair braided with little silicone bead things. The apartment stank like old carpet & moldy AC, coke cans everywhere

I didn't go to that one, but the same apt building. Son & mom get in a fight, he takes the bathroom door off its hinges & lays it on her. Crushes her to death, face to face & eye-contact the entire time. Puts the door back up, calls 911 next morning & says he found her like that.

Chattanooga's new courthouse. The style is called "Greco-Deco". We're taking this worldwide. We're taking this to Mars. This is the answer.

Skinnyfat heroin-core looking teenager, with a 75lb buzzcut blonde girlfriend, walks into the gym & calls out STANDING TALL AND LOOKING GOOD. He goes immediately to the cable machine to begin loitering. Don't try to motivate me dude, I'm pushing 40 & napping on the situp bench.

I asked Grok to generate an image of this post and it told me to begin watching my calcium intake.
