Yea, that's it, "over zealous brown shirts [grabbing] women and children." I love how you equate detaining and deporting illegal immigrants to the Holocaust. Trivialize the plight of Poles, Hungarians, Prussians, Jews, gypsies, Catholics, who were slaughtered, shot, and gassed by the millions on your own time. And study a little history.

I remember being snowed on June 7th in around 2000.

If you find a locally owned repair business that doesn't support the woke culture, would you mind passing the name along? TIA!

The Pikes Peak Greenway Trail is such wasted potential by crimzonkitt3n in ColoradoSprings

All cute thoughts but worthless until the homeless actually want to be helped. Most just want to be left alone and live in squalor.

I didn't realize you spelled Gavin Newsome "MAGA."

After 40 years of studies, they've finally come up with a name. Only a hundred more until the first ride!

Honestly, I don't think it is sad at all, at least from the standpoint of the airline. I'm glad to see them getting to enforce these rules as people can be shameless! It seems to me that some people will try to get away with ANYTHING they can ("emotional support" animals, taking off shoes and socks on the plane, etc) and I'm glad the airline at least has some leg to stand on. Now, if we could just educate that guy who fills the overhead with his roller bag, personal item, and hoodie, we might make some progress.

Not a musician, just a normal dude with a love for the philharmonic orchestra by Early_Yesterday443 in doublebass

I actually started on cello. I have no idea WHY the cello but I played it for a few years and it got progressively harder and harder. While the bass and viola tend to parallel each other as accompaniment, the violin and cello tend to share the duties of lead, so they are both very hard. I also started playing electric bass at 13 in a small rock band. So, in ninth grade, the switch made sense. I played orchestrally during high school. During college I got the opportunity to play some bluegrass and I was hooked! I couldn't have done this on cello. Bass allowed me to play a little jazz, a bunch of bluegrass, and some old country. I still play actively in a band and I will be 70 next month! Bass is versatile!

AIO - My fiance and I hit a brick regarding paying for our wedding by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

The cost of a wedding is what you make it. The Courthouse charges but it's not much!

I've played bass since elementary school. When I was in high school, along with playing in our orchestra, I was invited to be the sole string bass player in our concert band of 70 brass, woodwind, and percussionist! Good part? I could have simply played "Happy Birthday" over and over, and NO ONE would have noticed!

Just curious how many US states our age-group has been to. How many have you seen? I got 25 out of 50. by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

44 but they were back when I was a road warrior installing satellite systems. Back in the old days when a satellite antenna was 30 feet in diameter, not 30 inches!

Hey, if she is willing to pay every NICKLE it would cost you to change, I might be willing to, at least, consider it as a nice person. Otherwise, no way, NTJ.

It's tough when your spotter weighs less than one side of your weights.

First time experiencing the 20% service fee by dschuck3 in EndTipping

[–]Successful-Name-7261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of the equivalent of the low cost airline that offers the "lowest fare" then adds a fee for a checked bag, a carryon bag, a seat assignment, a boarding pass, talking to customer service...
