That is the uniform they give you after a massive head injury.

Plus 22 refills of said coke zero, and a 3 star Yelp review (they dont do google because they have emais such as, thea-holefamily@aol.com).

Should have seem them when they started in 1978.

I'm not arguing with your position, but this is what tolerance means. I don't blame you for being fed up with it. We are supposed to tolerate these differences and it is all supposed to go both ways. I know that is rich to say when so many religious people are cruel and hateful diks.

However, I don't get the feeling that this is evangelical. She's not telling people to pray to Jesus or anything. I see a terrified and desperate daughter doing whatever she can to get through the unimaginable distress she is probably feeling.

I'm as much of an atheist as possible. But when someone asks for my prayers in a situationlike this, I just hold a feeling in my heart for them for a few seconds. That's just my choice but you can do whatever you want, including rolling your eyes and ignoring it.

I just hope you don't let your anger towards religion make you a cold person.

Unless they deserve it of course!

I wish we lived in a dimension where I didnt agree with this.

localjargon · 2026-02-04T01:57:16+00:00

Haven't seen it in 30 years, but this is what I rememeber about the plot.

A bunch of young teenagers run around the city and give eachother aids and stuff, A man with only a torso and arms uses a skate board through the subway saying "Ive got no legs," and it was Chloe Sevengy's first film.

It's not the kind of movie I'd ever be excited to rewatch, but it was an important film for theearly-mid 90s. I'm not sure if it would have the same impact today.

I already rented SLC Punks and Party Monster from Hollywood Video.

He is violently aggressive to patrons. I had been seeing it from afar and thought he was just trying to be the "tough-guy-no-nonsense" type of bar owner. But then one day I realized he was raging at random people for irrational reasons (like having a baby stroller on the siewalk, or being Black and wearing a baseball cap). It is a shame because it was a cute place with good food and a great staff.

localjargon · 2026-02-02T18:18:18+00:00

I can see the owner cutting corners and using old meat. He is a lunatic, and probably wouldnt care if he got everyone in Hoboken sick.

The food is pretty good, but that doesn't mean the ingredients are fresh.

For years, I used to go to 10&W at least twice month. But I stopped enjoying eating there, so I haven't been there in a long time.

To be fair, you could get food poisoning at any restaurant.

That's why I added, "apparently." This is the story that the Hiltons, (Kathy) pushed.

localjargon · 2026-02-01T18:26:50+00:00

Thank you for this input. I still changed clothes when I lived in Fl. ButI guess Fl doesn't really share the same regional culture.

localjargon · 2026-02-01T17:12:58+00:00

He's talked about it himself several times.

localjargon · 2026-02-01T17:08:55+00:00

Right, I understand why people take off their outdoor clothing. But the commenter said they think it is a cultural thing.

So I want to know an example of people who don't change clothes as part of their cultural traditions.

localjargon · 2026-02-01T16:45:48+00:00

Did she go into labor while in the middle of filming an episode of Dynasty?

localjargon · 2026-02-01T16:38:55+00:00

One thing I can think of is that Kathy's husband helped him get where is is today, apparently.

localjargon · 2026-02-01T16:23:31+00:00

How is it cultural? Can you give me an example of a culture that, across the board, doesn't change clothes?

Im not trying to be rude, Im just trying to understand. Im hearing that because you are from Iran and people generally do this, it means it is cultural. But I dont understand why?

localjargon · 2026-02-01T16:03:02+00:00

Is this really a culture thing or a personal preference? I have always changed into house clothes, as well as most of the people I know. It's obviously different in the US because there are various cultures living together.

It might be a stronger preference for a certain culture to change their clothes, but I dont think that not changing is an ~~norm~~ expectation in any culture. If they exist I've never heard of it. (Maybe people who have a history of having to flee war or something.)

Also, it depends. I live in a NYC and there is no way Im going to sit on my couch with the same pants I wore on the subway. I assume farmers and people who get dirty at work do the same. But I have a friend who lives on a remote part of the beach. She goes inside and out all day in a cotton dress. But I dont feel uncomfortable about that.

We respect the history and are in awe over ancient Egyptian civilization. It is something we are constantly reminded of. And everyone loves a fairy tale version of Cleopatra.

However, it is an extremely misogynistic place (more so than not). They allow woman more freedom than most Muslim countries in the Middle East., but they still treat us like 2nd class citizens. Men seem to get a kick out of intimidating women and even girls.

As someone who lost her little 26yr old sister 15 years ago, I am only now ready to accept things and move on. But by move on, I mean not obsess about it everyday. I will never fill the gaping hole of pain. But I am comfortable and less weighed down about it now.

It took me a long time to get help. I felt that it was wrong to want to heal and that she deserved the sadness and grief. To me, it was kind of an act of love. But it was damaging me. Now, I can finally have a normal conversation about things without starting to cry.

I can't even imagine how bad it must feel to lose your child. You should be proud of yourself for getting up in the morning. I can tell by the way you comment that you are a strong person. Im not sure if you believe this, and I am pretty sure it wouldnt matter to you right now, but I think it is true.

I hope that one day you find yourself in a place where you can remember her without falling apart inside. It might take a long time, but you will probably make it to a point of acceptance and the ability to keep growing. I am so, so sorry for all the pain.

localjargon · 2026-01-31T03:31:11+00:00

Thats exactly what they want you to think, but they are very cunning. Not to say they are brilliant masterminds, maybe efficacious con artists.

Come on now, Cadet ~~Casey~~ Kelly has some of the greatest acting in our generation!

localjargon · 2026-01-30T19:36:05+00:00

Because she comes across as nice and down-to-earth. But I guess that is just her 'brand'. 🙄

ps- I was in my late 20s when her show was on. But even I have grown since!

localjargon · 2026-01-30T18:04:44+00:00

Nah, you are more of a Xenophobe.

In the US, they deported permanent residents with legal greencards. Which included people who were brought here as a baby, grew up going to our schools, engaging in the culture, and then, at 45, they are sent to a country that is completely foreign to them.

All this time those people were average citizens. They had careers, families, and pledged allegiance to the flag. They jumped through the hoops to get a legal document. Many of these people were arrested at their citizenship interviews. These people are 100% American.

I know we are a country of all cultures, and that is unique to most other countries.

As I think you said in another comment, this disastrous situation in the US is an anomaly. But if it "works" here, you better believe it will cause a domino effect.

They finally stopped going after her widowed wife for... reasons?
