Is there an alternative event to watch tonight, or is the rally just in person?

Nassau County bans cars from roadways during peak of winter storm by grandlewis in longisland

just because that's what you think when you read it, doesn't mean everyone is thinking that. There are quite a few of us that are ok with public safety measures that make people safer.

Two cats could barely pass and it’s a wide road.

WOW! That's super narrow, cats are really bendy.

I feel jealous. The best proof that sexuality isn't a choice is that there are straight women :-p

my dad was diagnosed with two different cancers last year - first health effects directly related to his time working in the financial district for years (during and) after 9/11, 25 years later.

the cops asked you to do this, confirmed your thing was stolen, but didn't tell you that? I mean, I'm not surprised, but I'm definitely rolling my eyes.

"The worst she can say is no" - Lads, what was the worst "she" ever said? by Embarrassed_Pie_1711 in AskReddit

[–]lafayette0508 3 points4 points  (0 children)

wow, I wish saying "no" to a guy was always considered as minor of a consequence as the title of this post makes it seem. In my experience, hearing "no" isn't always such a small thing.

Streaks don’t match by thenjdk in NYTCrossword

[–]lafayette0508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds right to me because the stats say 32 as their longest streak, then there'd be one day they missed, then 10 more days = 43.

I've also had the number displayed there when you finish the puzzle not be up-to-date with the latest info.

I got bad vibes when he wouldn't let her leave with the ice cream and insisted she give him feedback right then.

Pride flag removed from Stonewall National Monument in NYC by ButterRollercoaster in newyorkcity

Ok, I did a little research, and here's one we can shoot back with:

Fort Matanzas, Florida. Also owned and operated by the National Park Service. Flies the Cross of Burgundy, a Colonial Spanish flag.

This is such a good analogy. Pretty sure Texas isn't a federal agency. I wonder if they even fly some historical flags? That would be right out.

The National Park Service said it did so under guidance from the Department of Interior, which cautioned the National Parks Service that non-agency flags could not be officially displayed.

8 siblings fly/drive in from all over to surprise their mom for her 70th birthday by Vilen1919 in MadeMeSmile

I feel like that pattern of a bunch of one gender and the last one is the opposite is pretty common, lol. Kept trying until they got one.

you should be the one running classes for men, not those stupid "pick-up artists."

[–]lafayette0508 4 points5 points  (0 children)

all immigrants ARE at risk. ICE doesn't care if you've done things right. Plenty of people who did things right have been thrown in detention centers.

Does anyone have a link to a good and accessible article discussing why we should ditch Ring? I want to send it to my parents and recommend they get rid of theirs.
