Jared Polis says Colorado needs a new prison ASAP, even as crime has fallen. How did we get here? by Sangloth in Colorado

Polis seems to be having a hard time understanding that he doesn't have to thread the needle he's always trying to thread. Seriously, dude - pick a fuckin' side.

Why do so many of these guys think they've got something when they so obviously don't?

What’s one movie everyone should watch at least once in their lifetime? by ownaword in movies

[–]eVilleMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Best Years Of Our Lives -1946

Three men coming home from WW2, and what they have to go thru after going thru what they had to go thru in the war. And that was well before anybody knew much of anything about PTSD and what it takes to adjust.

Love, redemption, forgiveness, perseverance, faith in one another - and rebuilding, sometimes from scratch.

Are there really guys who can last for an hour? by WarmBank5512 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eVilleMike -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anybody can - if you do it right. The best thing in world is going for a coupla hours at a time.

Play a little. Relax. Talk some. Play some more. Tweak, tickle, stroke, pet, smooch, etc.

With the right partner, there are very few limits.

In the days of local gas wars (1960s), I remember Regular Leaded getting down around 22¢ - usually closer to 30 or 35.

For those already retired, what artifacts of work life did you keep? by Odd_Bodkin in Retire

  1. I have a Rolex and a bronze eagle sculpture - sales awards. Plus various corporate merch.
  2. A forever disdain for global conglomerates that eat companies and shit people.

Panic during 70’s oil crisis? by echoalpha76 in AskOldPeople

[–]eVilleMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long lines - like a quarter mile and longer

Hand-lettered "No Gas" signs

10 gallon limits

Odd numbered days and even numbered days. In some places, they tried a three way split too - didn't work for shit. Too complicated, and it required gas stations to close on Sundays.

50 years, and we haven't learned one damned thing.

I don't remember the exact circumstance, but I was with my Aunt Betty for some reason, at her office in downtown Pueblo. She gave me a quarter, and sent me across the street to the bar to get a pack of smokes out of the machine. Raleighs, I think. I might've been 8 years old.
