A crank in Kingfield keeps yelling at their neighbors that they can’t park in front of their house on a public street. They keep calling in cars as abandoned that demonstrably aren’t and then the city chalks them. Should those affected notify their CM, 311, or something else?

lol last night was a rerun

“Honestly Minnesota isn’t that bad. Sometimes it even gets up to 70 in November. Yeah, I know. Aside from it smelling like manure when that happens it’s great.”

The difference in time between now and I can has cheezburger Is the same between I can has Cheezburger and the Berlin Wall falling

You haven’t lived until you’ve tried to explain to grandma and grandpa how one’s gender expression doesn’t necessarily affect which genders they’re attracted to. “No, non-binary is not the same as bisexual. Yes, I know they both have “bi” in the name”

I begrudgingly follow his antics via various subreddits and this is what happens when you’re a colossal asshole working through dozens of personality disorders but also demonstrably off the wagon. The dude is stunningly unwell.
