I think you guys are missing the main takeaway and that is that owning the libs requires a little sacrifice and belt tightening, stop being such snowflakes and embrace the new dystopia.
Hint: it's the same dystopia but now the veil has been lifted and we can see who it is we're married to.
Or if you like, a farming analogy: This harvest didn't spring up voluntarily, the fields have been being prepared for years...

GF lives in Shangri=La and the company offering fiber optic has told her that she needs to provide a pull string from the phone pole to her house.  At her house the phone lines come through the concrete foundation directly, rather than in a conduit. My guess is they used direct burial wire. GF seems to remember when they built the house they had to trench from the pole about 200' through the neighbor's yard and then another 50' to her foundation.

She's probably going to miss the fiber optic bus...

It would be a kindness though, If someone with pics of him would upload them to Postimages (the imaging service here) and PM youz guyz a link(s) even if not posting the pics, or link(s), in this forum.

Good luck.

That's pretty much it and I think your suggestion has merit. I will look at my photo archives when I get back home; I'm away for a few days.

Ahh. crap.  Bruce has been such a great friend over the years, and has helped me out of a jam a few times. I'd say, easily 50% of my inbox is emails from Bruce, mainly his "daily dump". They come so relentlessly that I'd only get to a couple of them a week. At one point I was running out of storage space and I briefly thought about bulk deleting all the unread emails from him but then I thought, someday, I'll want to read these when he's not around any longer, so I kept them and archived them. I have enough to keep me going for the next 10 or 15 years.
He once drove 5 hours to my house to deliver a sand blasting cabinet that he didn't need and that he'd never even set up. I asked him if he wanted to stay over and he said, nope - it's only a five hour drive.  I have to find the photo I took that day.

Whatever a narcissist says is irrelevant, the only truth they tell is through their actions. That is something that is constant and true about a narcissist.

I really appreciate all of you and your thoughtful answers and approach to life in general. The points you are all making happen to be ones that I agree with and in a way that can be a problem. On one hand it is a bit of an echo chamber, on the other, it is much needed affirmation that There are critical thinking minded people.
I'm not sure we can make predictions at this time about the future. It is tempting and easy to underestimate the depths of depravity, greed, and cravenness of the people in positions of power.
Desiring to be in power should be an automatic DQ in the first place.

After reading this post on that other site it got me to thinking that the cellar is probably the place where the discussion and thinking is least likely to be influenced by bots and other nefarious agents.
That's all I've got at the moment. Still processing a lot.
Would welcome a discussion about the OP's points and the comments if anyone can stomach it. It seems like everything has been said in those comments and the post.

I've just noticed over the past few years that everything is getting weirder and weirder and more and more divisive. When we should have been making a fuss about the easy tampering of voting machines back during bush v gore we were all caught up in gay marriage. The red herrings just don't seem to stop.

Another thing I've noticed is the disappearance of "wholesome" porn. Just garden variety people having garden variety sex. Now everything is about one or more people being demeaned or belittled in some way with an emphasis on infidelity, black vs white, inadequacy, worthlessness, etc. Now before you go thinking that the algorithm is just giving me more of what I want or what I search for I browse with a vpn, private browser, and delete or deny all cookies.

Everything is getting smeared, turn to spirituality and find all the scandals from any religious order. It's the Muslims, the Catholics, the Evangelicals. The question is, is it actually as bad as it is made out to be in the media.
Well, who controls (owns) the media and what is their agenda? Clicks are the hook.

I've got to macht frei rn but will be back.

Looks like the wax ring failed. and/or it's too far to stand over the bowl to pee. Unless this is just a women's room then definitely it's a lot of funky pee. Women's rooms are so bad because (I've been told) although women generally sit to pee, in public restrooms they hover over the seat to pee because the seats are so wet from women hovering over the seat to pee because the seats are so wet from women hovering over the seat to pee because the seats are so wet from women hovering over the seat to pee because the seats are so wet from women hovering over the seat to pee because the seats are so wet from women hovering over the seat to pee because ...
