  • Look at these weak children these days, with their molded plastic dizzy spinners with built in seating so you don’t fly off. Back in my day you had a round piece of steel with some bent pipes to hold onto in the feeble attempt not get thrown across the playground into a railroad tie that’s holding back the splinter filled wood chips. Oh yeah and the lead paint was flaking off the whole time… come to think about it, I think our parks department sucks.


  • My mom put herself through nursing school by working at a nursing home. Once I was an adult she opened up about some of the stuff she saw, she said there was so much sex that they joked about installing a hose in the hall so they could separate patients when they caught them. When I asked her why they didn’t just look the other way and let them have their fun she said they actually did but the administrator was a hardcore Catholic and told them they were to separate them as soon as they were caught.





  • Sadly it’s just not working. I’ve spent time evangelizing Signal, I’ve responded to SMS with invite links to Signal and a message that I’d prefer to use Signal. Just a bunch of no’s and one “just grow up and text me back”.

    It reached the point where I could tell I was pissing people off so I gave up. Now if messaging apps come up during a family gathering I just say “you know I recommend Signal” and leave it at that.

    I’ve had people refuse to do or adopt something just out of spite because I pushed too hard, I don’t think they would go that far here, but better safe than sorry.
