Ever tried having health insurance from a particular provider in one state, and having a health issue in another state?
You Luigi it.
There ain’t a goddamn thing united about these fucking states, except they let you temporarily cross the borders for a few days or couple weeks or so. God forbid you have any issues out of your registered home state though, you’re basically fucked.
The year just started, I haven’t even had a chance to record my annual 12 Farts Of The Year yet…
I actually did kinda force myself to learn to swim back in July 2014, just days after my father passed away. At that point, I felt if I couldn’t make it back up, I didn’t deserve to be alive.
Hell, I treated it as if it was a BMX flatland trick of sorts, just go at it fully determined to make it through. I picked probably the worst possible spot in a deep river with a heavy current, and swung off of a rope right into the deep drink.
It wasn’t my intent to die that day, it was my intent to prove to myself that I can survive even the unknown scary situations in the world.
I won’t claim to be the best swimmer out there, but I’m still here today…
Define the level of apocalypse…
Do you mean like evil acts of others? I wear personal self defense, fingers crossed I never need to use it.
Or like a flood or volcano eruption or something? Welp, guess I’m fucked too, I can’t swim in water or lava. ☹️💀
Choose One?
That question mark ❓ suggests the option I could take them all instead if I wanted…
As funny as it may seem, at this point the evidence suggests it was actually another act of terrorism, likely related to the tragic New Orleans attack.
Recent events starting the new year are not good nor funny though, it was almost certainly (investigation ongoing though) related to the New Orleans attack.
Apparently the Cybertruck that exploded had fireworks and fuel tanks inside, and the truck itself was rented from the same Turo app. They highly suspect it was another act of terrorism, no fault of the Cybertruck itself.

As much as I thought this would end up being a meme, if it does, it’s not a good one. As Billy Joel said, “We didn’t start the fire”, well let’s not try to spread the fire either.
If anything, share the link I posted from Adam Mockler, keep up with the news, watch out for yourself, friends, family and neighbors, and let’s all please try to have a good new year.
Edit: Added Adam Mockler’s link to his reporting on the New Orleans tragedy.
This chart is incomplete. Where’s the bricks? Where’s the fire?
As someone else in another thread called it…
Trumpster Fire 🔥
Meh, it just blends in with all the cracks already in my screen anyways. 🤷♂️
You never used the word they, you used the word them multiple times though.
Care to compare and contrast the difference?
Then why does it vs it’s break all the other rules of the apostrophe?
Where’s the exact exception?
Them was originally intended as plural though. When did people decide to jank up the defined language? They/them/those are meant as plural.
And I might have made a subtle mistake earlier. He/she/it are pronouns, him/her/it as well.
His/hers/its are possessive pronouns. Can we try to stick to some sort of standard in the language, with clarity and without offense?
The right to privacy and the right to repair my own stuff. At the current pace, that seems like a daydream version of a nightmare… ☹️
I think you meant hers, with an S, but I get your point. Does that mean “it” is/was meant to function as a pronoun?
Rhetorical question for the pronoun nazis, if I don’t know the sex/gender of a kitten, I’m gonna call it an it. If I don’t know the sex/gender of a human, I’m probably still gonna call it an it.
See post above, his, hers, and its are linguistically compatible, meaning that him, her, and it must be equally compatible.
I’m no fool, they never convinced me of that lie.
50 is divided, not united…
π is burned into my memory, up to 50 decimal places, since age 10. So is the alphabet backwards, since age 10 as well.
But when you see typos going on for 30 years regarding a simple apostrophe difference, you might start to forget which way is correct.
It’s about as important to me as which country uses a dot or a comma to separate thousands…
$1,000 … £1.000 … ???
I know. My ex girlfriend’s son had almost drowned only 20 or so minutes earlier, and someone else saved him. Though he wasn’t my kid, I felt really bad that I wasn’t the one to save him.
There were lots of people around, and I did give someone a heads up that I was about to take the rope swing, made them aware I didn’t actually know how to swim, and asked a stranger to hold my glasses for me.
It was at that moment I basically turned off my fear switch, as I would when trying a new BMX flatland trick. Already being a fairly athletic guy, the only real difference for me was the difference of the dynamics of the water.
I figured it out pretty quick though. Not in any hurry to do it again though, unless it becomes necessary for whatever reason.
