No problem. Its hard to believe that people like this can hold office, and not get removed. But, freedum.

The current governor, Ron Desantis (if your familiar with him, it may explain a lot) has hit his term limit and cannot be reelected, but he won by a landslide last time, although, his opponent was considered to just be a poor candidate.

Well see how Floridians feel about it in 2026, I guess. Theres not much that can done now.

Joseph Ladapo was handpicked by the governer during covid. The governor was fully aware of his views, and was chosen on purpose.

His policys from ending school quarantines to sending kids to school with measles, have been widely publicized. He even has been caught altering covid vaccine data to fit his narrative. The CDC even rebuked him in a letter .

Despite being found altering data, he was confirmed for a second term.

Idk theres a car dealership that has a 2 level version of this. The middle part is raised and spins with the base. Its not as wide as the old ones, but it seems just as dangerous.

Then theres the single person versions that works off of like angled centrifugal force? Idk. It spins and spins just from body weight. They can start it on their own, but I've had random kids ask me to help them stop, cause they couldn't do it themselves. I see variations of these in most newer playgrounds. Some have you sitting, some standing. Many parents still dont give a shit.

Racist people have been repeating this story long before trump ever took office. My father, decades ago, was always telling me this is why the family dogs would dissapear. Apparently, once a year, some gang (of non haitians) would come to our rural area, and steal the neighborhood pets.

Of course, our dogs would get hit by cars or shot, but it would happen to coincide with less barking of neighboring dogs (nah, it wasnt cause our wandering dog wasnt bothering them anymore /s) or another neighbor complaining their dog was missing, too.

I always thought it was the most ridiculous thing I ever heard, much less how the logistics worked out, but the story has been around for a very long time, even if some of the details have changed. These jerks have just co-opted another racist troupe to try to pander to their base.

My old HTC one had an ir blaster. It was great.

This is how they plan on filling all the gaps left by all the immigrants they want to deport. Next up are new laws that put even more people / groups of people, in prison.

Reminds me of the county in Florida that sends police to your door daily if they dont like you, or your family.

Jingle bells in my ass

Saw them in the early 2000s at a medium sized, indoor venue that had no seating. $25 / ticket. They stopped in the middle of a song to make sure someone was ok and a guy even jumped from the (not super high) balcony, crowd surfed to the stage, and played guitar with them for a song.

You got ripped off. :/

Kinda the same way my car tells me I'm not looking at the road if I tilt my head 2 inches to the side or back. Its constantly giving me warning, and I'm constantly yelling that I am looking at the road! How else could I go around this turn!

At least I have the option of covering it with black electrical tape. Jeeze.

So they say. Guess he lost his vocal cords during the process. Wonder how it would have been if the church just let him get medical help...or never told him to start smoking in the first place ;)
