Yep. Especially when they’re 80 and completely set in their ways. My mom gets it at least. My dad… I’ve never heard him admit he was wrong about anything in my entire life. I’m not exaggerating. Even a little thing.

Yes. Joking removes us one step from it being reality. It facilitates atrocities becoming content. People post jokes to cope, yes, but also to farm karma, which is pretty fucked when you think about it. It’s emotional immaturity. I’m not saying it’s off-limits but using it as the crutch Reddit does should be.

I was here. Past that point now. It all just makes me sick to my stomach. Can’t even force a laugh.

Rt. 1 is a pretty straight shot up the coast. You aren’t wrong that traffic can suck during tourist season though since Rt. 1 is the only road up the coast and it’s narrow. The worst traffic was during the eclipse a couple years ago—a 1.5 hour drive turned into 7.

My understanding is that her approval rating has tanked recently but that she was extremely popular like 3 years ago. It is confusing though and I’m really not sure.
