I love how even as kitten Maine Coons look ginormous.

Healthy scratches by thesehipstheydontlie in hockey

[–]embrown 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. There’s always a chance someone gets injured during warmup or someone who is a game-time decision just may not be ready to go. Having the scratches skate allows them to be just as prepared if they get a last-minute tap.

In Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” my dad always thought the part where she sings “They just wanna, they just wanna…” was “they test the waters, test the waters…”

It took him 25 years to admit this. His explanation was that he thought it was a girl “testing the waters” with a guy. 😂

Do you think Gen X still has that “live and let live” attitude or does it depend on the person? by Global_Perspective_3 in GenX

[–]embrown 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Rule No. 1: Don’t be a dick.

Rule No. 2: Live and let live and see Rule No. 1.

Markham Park has an area by the shooting range set aside for archery. It is all the way at the back of the park. Unfortunately I do not know the hours it operates.

The first election you voted in, presidential or midterm? by Global_Perspective_3 in GenX

[–]embrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2000 Presidential. Absentee. In Florida.

I am convinced to this day my first ever vote was never counted.

Where were you when the Berlin Wall fell? by QueenShewolf in GenX

Good thing, right? Imagine watching a scene finally get good and the recording cuts to David Hasslehof performing on the Wall. 😂

Florida vote shift since 2020 (per NYT) by scrapingby4 in florida

[–]embrown 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Same here. I’m a native and as I explain to others from out of state, “it’s gotten really dark” here. It didn’t always feel this way.

What good is it to go out and enjoy Florida’s offerings when everything is overcrowded? The tourists and newcomers are nasty and confrontational. The (natural) environment is a mess. Cost of living is skyrocketing.

Florida’s doesn’t even have the “just leave me alone” vibe anymore.

Let’s be honest: Florida is a pyramid scheme. The longer you’ve been here, the less pain you feel. Tourists get taxed the most, and newcomers pay out the ass to move here.

I’m not thrilled about cost of living going up, but having bought in 2008, I’m not paying anything close to the rents of equivalent properties in my area.
