There’s a place on the Blackwater River I have marked. So far I’ve traced 7 waterfalls trekking uphill from the water side. But I can hear more in the distance!
like you know you’re a good person at heart but life circumstances and trauma and bullying and etc prevented you from learning the proper social skills to find companionship. not necessarily a forum to actually find friends (i find going into things with that intention feels fake and weird), but rather a forum to commiserate...
Those struggles are decades past. And I learned from them! Wish OP had reached out to me. I feel I could help give them ideas, or at least the hope you mentioned.
Wore women’s camo leggings with an olive-drab utili-kilt. Damn that was comfortable. But wearing a kilt in the woods and the heat? Just didn’t feel right to me, and I’ve tried a couple of different kinds.

If you don’t know about Bloom County it’s a comic strip that ran the decade of the 80s (1980-1989). It was one of my favorites as a kid and though some of it will surely be dated, the majority should hold up well to current times. It examined events in politics and culture through the viewpoint of a fanciful small town in...
remember him for setting up talks with China, and detente with the Soviets. The founder of realpolitik and symbol of Western imperialism over the last half of the 20th century
In some states it’s illegal to leave children of a certain age unsupervised. I think it’s 11 and below here? People do it anyway and no one’s looking to prosecute, but it’s a thing.
I can’t speak for every municipality in America, but the elementary schools around here do not allow kids to walk or bike to school. Either that, or every single parent, no exceptions, disallows it, because I’ve never seen a child that young coming into or leaving the school on their own. FFS, when I used to pick up my stepson, same car every day, the teacher had to put their hand on the roof and look me in the eye through a rolled-down window. That was literally the rule.
So like I said, “some of the younger ones aren’t mature enough or raised independently enough”. It sucks, but it’s true.
I have an 8 and 10-yo. They love my house because I allow them freedom. We went to a huge camping place to get married this weekend, local outfitter sort of thing. I gave them some instructions and warnings, cut them loose. Their helicopter mom would shit her pants if she knew they walked all over the woods alone.
(And of course we got the usual comment below crying about capitalism. I’m not sure if these people expect that no one works for a living, or they don’t do it on a coordinated schedule, or what.)
It struck me as odd as well. Those words don’t go together, like, at all. :)
And besides, GenX never give two shits about the Axis powers. The Cold War was our war. And while I didn’t hate the Russians back then, I sure as hell do now.
Sigh… Country used to be pretty good. Now that Nashville has discovered algorithms, they just churn out formulaic shit that sounds exactly alike.
Saw a 5-minute video a couple of years back. I think it was 5 of the (then) current country songs, blended one into the other. You could not tell where one cut off and the next picked up. Sounded like 5 singer collaborating on a single song.
That sort of talk disappears when you get older. People might briefly chat about their favorite whiskey or whatever, but they’re not having whole-ass conversations on the topic.
My imaginary audience is my deceased dad (grandad really.)
WWII, Pacific Theatre, Torpedoman 3rd class. Died in the early 80’s from mesothelioma. (Those battleship pipes were wrapped with raw asbestos sheets, lashed on with duct tape.)
I often try to imagine explaining to him stuff like the internet and Trump. Yeah.
Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.
