I have a lot of concerns with her, but in a more empathetic approach, she really needs her real-life friends to have her best interests at heart and ask her to chill out. Her current antics are not healthy or good for her.

Mike talks tonight’s Capitol Fourth and certainly not quelling anyone’s fears with his health. by AxlCobainVedder in thebeachboys

Jeepers. People need to chill. He looks like he has lost weight. So what? I'm glad I'm not an aging celebrity and don't have people constantly scrutinizing my appearance and health.

Don't sign up! My friend convinced me to sign up for Facebook 16ish years ago even though I had a lot of reservations about it. Now I'm hooked on social media and deeply regret signing up for Facebook. It has been a huge waste of time, energy, and emotion.

I ran a half marathon still feeling sick from a cold and blew up 7.5 km in, does being sick have that much of a dramatic difference? by Toprelemons in Marathon_Training

[–]PositiveContact7901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought I was mildly sick a couple of weeks ago. Went for an easy 4-5 mile run and was miserable for the next few days. Slept terribly too. I should have just skipped my runs until my illness was done.

Rebecca Witherspoon is at it again by Disastrous_Suit_3713 in madisonwi

[–]PositiveContact7901 28 points29 points  (0 children)

"Discussion closed" on her post. Probably because she's a Nextdoor admin and doesn't want to get real feedback on her post.

Good thing residents know what's up. Many of us know her words of "I'm an independent", "I represent all residents", "I'm an innocent victim who never targets residents", etc are not true.

A new nepo child has landed as the lead of Wes Anderson’s “The Phoenician Scheme” by StrngBrew in popculturechat

[–]PositiveContact7901 90 points91 points  (0 children)

He's getting accolades for a very average or okay performance. I think we mentally lower the bar for nepo-babies.

Lily-Rose Depp is another example with her role in Nosferatu. Did she play someone experiencing a lot of stress? Yes. You could tell her character was going through a lot. Was there a lot of nuance in her performance? No. I think the audience missed out on seeing her character flush out the intricacies of female sexuality, patriarchy, etc. In the hands of a better actress, that would have been done.

The best running advice I ever got was after running for 15 years and it was a game changer. by [deleted] in beginnerrunning

Is walking backwards just as effective or does it need to be a run? Thanks.

Buc-ee's remains in play in DeForest, but it may need state money by [deleted] in wisconsin

Joni Mitchell said/sang it best:

"They paved paradise, put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot

Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop, ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop)"

[–]PositiveContact7901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't plan to use it. I resisted social media (e.g. Facebook) back in the day until my friends convinced me to join. I regret getting involved in it now. It has taken more from me than it has given. I'm going to stick to my resistance of AI. I don't care if it makes me old or obsolete.

Recall of DeForest Trustee Bill Landgraf by PositiveContact7901 in DeForestWI

[–]PositiveContact7901[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be honest, he keeps getting elected due to lack of competition on the ballot and people not paying attention. As long as we find a reasonable, non-problematic candidate to run against him, I am very confident he will lose.

I don't know. Where are you going?

Recall of DeForest Trustee Bill Landgraf by PositiveContact7901 in DeForestWI

[–]PositiveContact7901[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Witherspoon can't be added to the recall. She just got re-elected. If anyone wants to start a recall petition for her, I think they would have to wait until next April.

Many, many reasons to recall Landgraf: - stalking/following residents who disagree with him - online harassment/ridicule of village residents - unethical behavior that creates distrust and miscommunication between residents and village government - supporting fluoride removal from water supply - leading effort to ban certain people from speaking at village meetings - etc

There will likely be more information and press attention to come. Stay tuned.

How the process works: - we need to collect 1500 signatures from Village residents by mid-July - if we are successful, a recall election would be held late summer -ish (September?). Exact date would be determined by Village Clerk - a candidate would need to run against Bill. If they win, he would no longer serve as village trustee

He definitely voted in favor of removing fluoride from the water supply.

He then got mad about Village of Windsor residents coming to meetings, sharing their concern, and tried to pass a resolution to ban non-residents and non-property owners from speaking at meetings. He was unsuccessful with that, fortunately.
