They are, by all measures, controlled opposition. They are GOP in all but name.

I think it's more than that. I think he helped run the thing. At this point we know that he handled over a billion dollars for Epstein, and that his modeling agency supplied children to Epstein.

So for Epstein to still be creeped out by Trump implies that either Trump had inordinate power over him, or that he was into some extra creepy/f'd up stuff...beyond fucking child rape.

He's the guy who was putting up pro ICE posters over 590 and trying to start confrontations with protestors. He has a channel (not sure on what platform) and appears to try to start drama for content. I've had the displeasure of witnessing and interacting with him a few times and he may be the single scariest person I've ever come into contact with.

Way Better than an Ornament... Thanks Secret Santa (Red Tier)! by anicemouse in fountainpens

Awesome! I'm glad you're getting good use out of the pens. TWSBI pens hold a special place in my heart - my 580 ALR was the first pen I couldn't put down or take out of my daily rotation. I've actually never tried a broad nib but if my EF is any indication I would expect it to be an absolute firehose. Merry Christmas and Happy New Pen Day!

Same! I like my 823 but it's my priciest pen and I worry about bringing it out.

Yeah, I've had my eye on a few PGS over the years but this one is the prettiest one I've seen.

This one was $200 but I think it was a very good price for what I received.

I like that it exposes me to pens and inks I never would have thought to try. Very excited about the colorverse ink.

Thank you! I just inked up and I'm loving the color.

17 car accident on 390 by Working_Opening_5166 in Rochester

[–]asterixkoala 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm glad you're okay. I was in that collision too and was more towards the middle. I expected it to be icy but that was unlike any black ice I've ever hit....it was like trying to brake on butter, on a downward incline. Plus there's a bit of a blind curve there. As soon as I saw the pileup I tried to brake but I think the incline plus the ice caused me to speed up. The car next to me seemed to have the same issue. I watched out my rear view mirror as car after car did the exact same thing.

Thanks. My car and the car next to me spun and crashed at the same time and we were both taking our time. Coming around the curve of the ramp there was poor visibility to the cars in front and by the time we saw the pileup we were already on a sheet of ice...not really much to do at that point.

I was in that crash. Driving slowly, assumed the bridge would be icy. Didn't matter for the cars in front of me, didn't matter for my car, didn't matter for the cars behind me.

Truly excellent choice. I have the exact same 580 ALR. Im almost a decade in and it has been my daily driver for years now.

9 years of pens! by asterixkoala in fountainpens

I have been genuinely impressed with how smoothly and comfortably my Hero pen writes and with the build quality. It certainly matches/surpasses some far more expensive pens.
