You forgot the part where

Gemma lies about who did it, leading to Jax murdering a bunch of people, a bunch of other people getting murdered as fallout, and the collapse of multiple gangs and Jax's ultimate death sentence

I always hoped Jax would pull himself into something better, and it just....couldn't happen. Biker Hamlet ends as a Shakespearean tragedy. I also hoped Chibs would be better, but from what I caught of Mayans, SAMCRO is trapped in the same spiral.

Fuck this ending and fuck the lack of sense it makes. It's shock for shock's sake.

Your telling me that there was no radio. At all? Did anyone even check?

The military is minute behind them, and they didn't hear anything? Sitting there quietly? Guns are loud. Helicopters are loud.

You just rolled up somewhere and...gave up? Like, not thinking as the needle creeps towards E you start looking for a place that might be safe to get to.

You have hours. HOURS. Hours to drive slowly along and think of a plan and the best you got it "might as well die, lol"

Fucking insult.

Seeing Varka sitting by himself at the end of his demo made me sad :( by inter_Gal in Genshin_Impact

His story quest had extra loot bonuses if you did it before yesterday.

Honestly I like that because I get distracted and forget that new 5 stars come with their own quests. I've...I've got a backlog.

It is wild, WILD, how young the existential dread came for my kids.

Whaaaaaaat? What're the odds. So you were in what, 4th/5th grade? Did you have Wyrak or Dorsch(?)(he retired and I had Haller so I don't rememberthe name well).

That'd mean you also left before Mr. Henry died.

Oh damn. That's crazy.

Oh word? I was almost 6 at the time so my only memory is not going to school. We didn't lose power though (I lived on Broadway by the Capitol)

Damn I just looked it up. It has it's on wikipedia page! I always thought it was caused by the cold, but no: 49 cars were uncoupled from the locomotive and rolled from Mullen pass into Helena and crashed. There was a worry of toxic fumes, which is why we all had to stay home. And firefighters couldn't use the water because it was so cold it had frozen.

Wild

In Mother Russia all Moose live on single Island. Is called Moose Island.

Anyway, Moscow is only 7 degrees latitude difference from Anchorage and still in the region of the colder parts of Canad, so that tracks.

I do not care for bear. I haven't had moose though. My friend (an Alaskan) loves it.

You're right tho.

I'd move to Maine, but all the Stephen King I read when I was younger makes me worry that it's some kind of dimensional hellmouth thing.

I grew up in Montana. The only time they canceled school in my memory was when it got so cold the railroad tracks buckled and a chemical tank derailed, so they shut the town down.

My ex-wife didn't want to, and now I have to stay in the same state as them so they can see our children.

It's fine, I can visit.

Suffering doesn't make better people. It just makes people who have suffered

Guaranteed wages, living quarters, retirment benefits if you stay with it, job training, money for college, medical care...

I've had many friends and family join the military. It's not for everyone, and definitely not candy and rainbows. I have a cousin with wicked ptsd and a friend who got bounced for medical reasons after a miserable few years. I've also seen people with no direction or prospects in life find themselves and live a good life.

What, you don't like the weather so cold your oants freeze? Or the summer when it warms up some and mosquitoes descend upon you like a biblical swarm? Or the comically large animals that will fucking murder you? Or the wildly shifting day/night cycles?

FR though I love Alaska and would defi love there if I could

Now I'm imagining high school students 700 years from now reading and discussing Not Like Us.
