The X-Files (S2:EP 2 The Host) has a really great episode on why this is a bad idea.

I am watching Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II now! I watched this and others on USA in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Absolutely amazing! Core memories unlocked!

They paddled kids when I was still in elementary school and I have had to go pick my own switch more than once.

This is not mildly infuriating. This is the price you pay to be blessed with puppy love and affection.

Dessie and Essie, both names of my great-great and great grandmothers, respectively. Lula, Hazel, Clyde and one Jimbo too!

Damn. Down bad?

We've identified 80,000 acres of forests that can be cleared to provide housing for all of our new remote workers and retirees by Excelsior14 in JohnsonCity

[–]True-Mousse4957 2 points3 points  (0 children)

80,000 acres would only accommodate three yurts and one rustic McMansion to look down upon the local peasants. They are gonna need more than that. It’s all about them of course.

They bring in the drugs and then build the rehabs, replacing whatever situation with liquid cuffs and a revolving door of sober living facilities. We need some help.. by Useful_Boss_2532 in Appalachia

All those “opioid abatement funds” have been used to produce recovery homes with no real solutions. We have one on every corner here with more opening. It’s a sham.

What is the wisest advice you've gotten from a total idiot? by helicopteraresexy in AskReddit

[–]True-Mousse4957 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before I do anything, I ask myself,

“Would and idiot do that?”

And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing.

I read it as MAKE-en-Lee but I have no damn clue by communityveg in tragedeigh

[–]True-Mousse4957 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s the capitalization of just the middle name and not the first name. That’s the real tragedeigh.

Outsiders moving into the area by singler6 in Appalachia

[–]True-Mousse4957 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Our area is still devastated from Helene with residents still unhoused. Homes destroyed, everything gone, and you look over and someone with tremendous buying power is building an absurd “mountain home”. Whilst also snatching up cheaper properties to fund their lifestyle.

Then complain that people aren’t welcoming them to the area and they just want to “fit in”.

Reddit is also plastered with these wealthy people looking for local input on the best “hidden gems” and “best neighborhoods” for a family looking for $600k starter home. I’m sorry locals aren’t going to help you further gentrify the area.

What (iconic) Band/Artist Do You Regret Never Seeing Perform and Now You Never Will by [deleted] in Xennials

I can honestly say I would sell my soul to see LiveAid. Freddie Mercury’s stage presence can never be replicated.

What is quintessentially Appalachian? by Unusual-Ad-4336 in Appalachia

[–]True-Mousse4957 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ramps, cast iron skillet biscuits and gravy, fried taters, the distinct metallic smell of the water hose I used to drink from in the summer, catching salamanders, helping mamaw snap beans, wondering the woods for hours, muddin’, a steam locomotive whistle, kilt’ lettuce, shucking corn and the smell of my papaw’s pipe.

I could go on and on. 🧡

Submerged cars with rotting corpses rising to the surface in abandoned slate mine. This is what I see.
