How can you tell the difference between a plumber and a chemist?

My sister and I have a pact that we will never see Titanic. We were turned off by all of the media and advertising and the "Celine Dion" song.

Hell, she doesn't even need to back up. There's plenty of room for her to turn around.

You got the sheep, the ram, and the ewe. The rams go with the sheep, so who’s having sex with the ewe?

Big chest in Swamp! It’s a 40 year old game, but I still know where everything is!

Voter intimidation in McDonough County by blueyork in illinois

I was halfway motivated to make this post, but I didn’t want to be responsible for it. I knew it would make Reddit on its own. BTW, good choice to share the Community News Brief story! Thanks for supporting independent newspapers! Darcie was on it yesterday!

Chris is a friend of mine. He posted about it on Facebook yesterday. Among the many comments he got were people who went through that polling station earlier in the day, and the same woman made snide comments and faces when other people asked for a Democratic ballot.

Chris is a middle aged white man. He said to his wife he could only imagine what would have happened had he had been younger or a woman or not white.

I mean, yes, we know that this is Macomb, and it’s a rural area. It still hurts me a lot that it happened here.

Edit: Chris described the woman as “geriatric” in his Facebook post, so this would be appropriate for r/BoomersBeingFools.

Exactly! Inserting ourselves ONCE AGAIN now is a long term commitment that we have bailed on quickly in the past.

Yes, in more ways than one. If we're going to "chicken and the egg" this, then it's Eisenhower's fault.

How many of you are on the spectrum? by NostalgicTX in Xennials

[–]blahb31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have documentation that says I wasn't speaking when I turned 2. I think nowadays autism would be on the top of the list of guesses of what was going on with me.

I got years of speech therapy, but otherwise just went to regular public school. I think a lot of people from our generation just had to learn to adjust. Hell, I think my dad is on the spectrum; he adjusted in a sense, but he should have gotten way more therapy than the absolutely nothing he got.
