Right?

Oddly, driving in Arizona, Idaho, Alaska and Wyoming is different. In each of those that I have driven in, in a car with local plates, people actually slow to let you merge or change lanes and...... SMILE at other people. I've yet to see any overly aggressive drivers or road rage. People also seem to be courteous and hold a door for people behind them. It's almost as if common decency exists!
Population density.... Americans turn fucking weird when we're stacked on top of one another. We're not japanese.
Yep. Murders happen in cities, suicide happens in the country. The suburbs are the answer.

Well, I also believe that people are less aggressive when they carry a gun, and when they know others likely are too.

Nobody wants to have that right removed from them because they acted out like an idiot and had the police deem they were being unsafe. When I am carrying I'm a complete pussycat and don't give anyone any reason to think I'm being aggressive or even over reacting to something small.

I think this is true from many people but I've dealt with a large number of people that go the other way. Tough guys.

Had that, a box of kraft Mac and cheese, and then they had Lunchables on sale and I hadn’t had one of those since I was a kid, so grabbed a pizza one for my dessert :lolol:
I think it's time for a new grocery store. You live in San Diego brah, not Farmington New Mexico......you have options.

I grab most of my stuff at Costco on the weekends. During the week I’m too busy to get there. I could have hit the little butcher shop by my place, but I was too :scrooge: for that this time. Next time I do a steak it’ll be from there. Other than that there aren’t a whole lot of options for groceries in my hood. There’s a little Mexican market that I’ll go to for carne asada and some produce, and then like a Smart & Final or something up on the other main road in my area. I could hit Sprouts I guess...

My 8yr old son is a drummer and he likes NP (no idea what influenced that haha). Wish we could both experience Rush somehow. There are plenty of great musicians still playing, this is a wake up call for me to start looking into more shows.

Yup. Interestingly, Iranian protestors are chanting America is not the enemy, but our government is, and our Democratic government officials here are saying we/Trump are the enemies....

Got a new MacBook Pro... my 2012 one decided to shut down a bunch of times on its own... Going to do a clean install on that one but I was due for an upgrade anyways. Best Buy offered 0% for 24 months so I also sprung for a new iPad that was on sale for $279 for Joseline so she can use it while doing stuff around the house (Disney +, baby apps, etc.) so she doesn't have to stare into her iPhone screen all day or be at the desk.

If you go back long enough, yes Western white man bad. But that also does not save the current regime from its atrocities.
