I am still using both. I have never been a big poster, but I like to think I can engage in discussion on just about anything,except Linux, and I really try (but fail) to avoid political shit, and so I’m sure you can see where I’m going with this.

But I’ll keep coming back, I’ll hopefully contribute in some mental way to the growth, and perhaps niche subs can grow in popularity. One of my personal favorite subs on Reddit is homeimprovement, and it’s simply a matter of quantity as far as getting it just as good here.

Thanks, thought I was going … bananas.

You made me reread the post looking for any there, their, of even they’re.

I don’t know what you mean. I thought California was one of the states that banned private prisons, but I live on the other side of the country, in NJ, where we’ve also banned private prisons, and are trying to stop the feds from putting private immigration detention centers in too.

If you mean prisons in general, I think that’s a different discussion.

I feel like I understand but if you can elaborate on the last part I’d appreciate it. And I just mean it seems to extend far beyond just capitalism, although that’s surely a driving factor. It’s hard to remove capitalism from a place that basically was made by people trying to hang on to their money.

In parts of the US. I hate living in a progressive state and getting lumped in with the backward ass parts of the country. This problem in particular differs across state lines. Unfortunately the best I can hope for now is for my state to be left alone.

This time it’s Ark.

Otherwise, I’m with you. Anything you want, best to have it local.

This story took me for a ride. In a car. Where the driver was yelling the N-word. But it’s okay because it’s transgressive, even though I guess I don’t know what that means.

It was forecasted to rain on my wedding day and my wife nearly died, so I bought seven purple umbrellas and one big white umbrella so they could take pictures in the rain. It didn’t rain until after pictures. Is that irony?

He’s got a great head of hair. My wife thinks he’s a bit of a nutter though, but in a good, nice way.

Everyone was a little white in the '80s, if you smell what I mean.

I cover big public board meetings as part of my job, and when I go on breaks, I tend to use the bathroom, because I am a person. Without fail, someone will come in and talk to me while I’m pissing. I don’t personally care, I was in the Marines for a bit and they beat all of that out of you (i.e., a room with eight toilets and that’s it, no walls, nothing, just eight toilets, four on each wall so you can face each other). Regardless though, I never walk in and talk to someone randomly, so it’s strange to me that others do it to me. I guess I just look like a nice guy.

Jesus, that’s internet HOF shit.

I’m with you, and Ohio and whatever other states are near it (I don’t know because I don’t care about them) are the Mideast.

Well, 40 years ago it was easy to find really good blow anywhere.

God I hate the time we live in.

It’s funny because I definitely remember this happening while using Netscape Navigator to access our Prodigy-peovided internet.

I remember clicking on a website and getting ABSOLUTELY BOMBSRDED WITH NEVERENDING POPUPS OF HARDCORE PORN PICS AND SOUND and my parents were behind me, and you just panic reboot the computer.

I don’t pretend to be an expert on salt (though I have certainly listened to the testimony of experts on salt), but I do know there are different compounds that all fall under the general heading of “salt,” despite some of them not being salt at all. And that heading is probably one coined by a layman like myself.

As far as whether the other compounds are responsible for corrosion the way tradition salt would be, I have no idea!

Probably salt on roads. Sea air kinda rots everything, salty roads just the bottom.
