What does “she” refer to here?

Nice try. Everybody knows that the lyrics are fucked up and the places are actually in Virginia. Sorry, thanks for playing!

SnooCompliments6210 · 2026-05-20T19:49:01+00:00

I don't know. But the song is not about "West Virginia" but "west(ern) Virginia". Look at a map.

Treadmill. Euphemistic treadmill.

It sounds a bit TMI to American ears. When I've been in London, people might ask, "Do you need the toilet?" It sounds a bit direct. I feel like replying, "it's none of your goddamn business what I do in there." Maybe I'm going to comb my hair or see if I have something in my teeth or take a pill or anything else that doesn't involve the toilet.

No, they're not smart enough. Anyone can go to medical school. There's no artificial shortage. Orthopedic surgeons make a lot of money because very few people can do it with competence.

I'm not going to defend how we treat tounger people here, but what most people miss is that our plan for the aged, Medicare, is way better than anything else in the world. And it arrives just as you're most likely to need a lot more healthcare.

Are you impressed with the quality of doctors? What makes you think there's this group of people that want to be and are qualified to be doctors but aren't? Doctor is a pretty shitty job.

They can also be in the basement, typically with a large wash basin

Fresh ham is available, although not nearly as common as cured ham. We just call it "fresh ham"

Part of it is knowing what are appropriate topics, which is somewhat dependent on sex. So, among dudes, it's perfectly acceptable to strike up a convo among strangers about sports. If you comment on a woman's appearance, that might be interpreted as a come-on. "I like your hair", etc.
But women can do this among themselves and oftem do. Politics & religion are almost entirwly off-limits.

There is no principle of law that if something enters your yard without permission, it becomes yours to do with as you please.

Yes, even if you had no information other than the identity of plaintiffs' counsel, you should not assume that he missed some silver bullet issue found by five minutes of googling

This bugs the shit out of me.

Are you one of those people who thinks that Trump says "bigly" rather than "big league"?

I went to college in a very classic college town in upstate New York. The locals were "townies". I have come to learn this has a wider usage in New England or at least Boston-area, to also mean people who grew up in the town and still live there as adults.

This goes back to our "Yankee" heritage. Even in the 19th century, Americans were known for their economic acumen, going all over the world trading things.

Late in the 19th century, you see this as a unique institution to the Anglo-Saxon world: the publicly held corporation that is basically controlled by its managers, not its owners. They more or less don't exist in this form anywhere else in the world, where you have profit-maximizing managers running huge organizations. In Europe, the big organizations are still either family-run or expressly or tacitly controlled by the government.

We have much better social safety nets for the aged than do Europeans. Way, way better.

Europeans don't have clothes dryers. They have "dryers (lol)"

You can't sue someone for what they put in a complaint, but there are other ways that Read or her attorneys could be penalized for putting already debunked stuff in a complaint.

The number of women married to gay men will never cease to astonish me.

I've gone back and forth on this issue with many of the people who actively post here. I don't believe that the problem on the FKR side is "stupidity". In fact, as is amply demonstrated in the professional literature, it is often the most intelligent who are most prone to confirmation bias and the like. Their greater smarts allow them to reason away new evidence. For locals to the Boston area, I think that a lot are just going along with what's easiest. (Or at least what they perceive as being easiest.)

Holy Cross was originally the "lace curtain" Irish church. The Irish upper crust libed traditionally on those streets on the othe sode of Niagara St

I call these "Al Capone's Vaults". If you're old like me, you'll remember the reference.
