  • I could excuse this as entirely accidental had the person running over the chicken been the lead car, and the chicken suddenly leapt out into the road. Someone else had stopped to let the chicken cross, and this person either presumed they knew better than the stopped driver and whipped around them, or they simply didn’t care. I doubt people would be looking to excuse the driver’s actions had the first lady been stopped for a little kid who ran out into the the road that our chicken killer wouldn’t have been able to see through an entire car obstructing their vision. At the very least, the second driver acted irresponsibly, if not with wanton disregard for the potential hazards.


  • Ah, yes, smartphone bad has to be the leading cause. It couldn’t possibly be something to do with the fact that, of young adults who still live with their parents, many have worldviews antithetical to that of their parents, and simply don’t want the headache of repetitive and predictable conflict when their father starts ranting about how the country is going to shit because of goddamn commies like Joe Manchin, or similar nonsense. And for those who live apart from their parents, it most certainly has nothing to do with the degradation of our working conditions, such that many full-time workers have schedules that are inconsistent from day to day, and week to week, and full-time hours are contingent on having 100% open availability to work, making it exceedingly difficult to sync up the meal time schedules for two working adults. I’m also pretty sure the rising cost of living and stagnant wages also haven’t done anything to curtail the ability of young adults to go and eat out with friends. Must be the damned smartphone.



  • They’re going just about as well as they are everywhere else in the US, barring that one guy in Texas that got killed opening fired on a Border Patrol facility the other day. Before you get too snarky, let’s have some examples of the folks in states that always have a hard-on for gun ownership who are actually proving what you’re implying here? Oh, the good gun-owners generally aren’t rising up, but those states are actually welcoming the Gestapo with open arms, since they voted for this? What a surprise.

    Keep on living in your fantasy world that the 2nd Amendment bros are going to actually get off their asses and do something about it. Other than cheering it on, that is.


  • Nah, just a regular noodle ball of nope. Unless they bite you, it gets infected and you choose to ignore it, about the worst a garter snake will do to you is cover whatever part of you is touching them in some stinky piss. Like, leave them alone unless it’s absolutely necessary, but garter snakes are pretty chill.

    Garter Snakes

    Garter snakes were long thought to be non-venomous, but discoveries in the early 2000s revealed that they produce a neurotoxic venom.[12] Despite this, garter snakes cannot seriously injure or kill humans with the small amounts of comparatively mild venom they produce and they also lack an effective means of delivering it. In a few cases, some swelling and bruising has been reported.[13] They do have enlarged teeth in the back of their mouths[14] but their gums are significantly larger and the secretions of their Duvernoy’s gland are only mildly toxic.[13][15]
