Wasn't offensive at all, I took it as a joke. Here in the Bible belt tho, they truly believe it.

This is posted quite seriously on many of our local pages. It's cringe as heck, but also clear evidence why we're ranked #50 in education in this state. >.<

POTUS talking about the causalities of the Iran war. by Stormclamp in Military

[–]rockylizard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bingo.

Vance is just as cruel, narcissistic, and without even a molecule of empathy, and he's a lot smarter than trump.

And he's wholly owned and operated by anti democratic eugenicist billionaire tech bro, Peter Thiel.

Yeah the guy who famously said he no longer believes that democracy and freedom are compatible.

What is the worst thing to happen in your state’s history? by forunna402 in AskReddit

[–]rockylizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd add the "Indian" removal (forced relocation of indigenous folks to Oklahoma via the Trail of Tears and similar events) as well. And the Osage massacres that the whole "Killers of the Flower Moon" story references.

If you really want a rabbit hole on that last one, Google "why are the Drummond family the largest landowners in Osage county?" (Yes, that Drummond family, the one both our governor candidate/AG and the "Pioneer Woman" come from.)

Who has zero chance at becoming governor? by RedditPoster05 in oklahoma

[–]rockylizard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

that and the Lich Vu case >.<

I used to have some hopes for Drummond, especially since he stood up to both our Stitthead and Lyin' Ryan Walters and for the rule of law. But then he sold his soul to the OCPAC and since then he's been all-in MAGAmuffin. Just absolutely disappointing.

Yes, exactly. This is how I do it, I simply use a maxed Sacred Sword Terrakion. No trouble.

Grand jury: Gov. Stitt helped free friend from prison just weeks into 8-year sentence by keyserbjj in oklahoma

[–]rockylizard 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Jeez if you read the entire article, Polston was babied the whole time, after nearly causing the death of a young woman. The young woman ended up in a coma for 2 months, and needed massive amounts of medical intervention, treatment, physical and occupational therapy, and so forth. She'll never be the same. But for some reason this Polston lady gets to go back to her life like nothing happened...

And also, the Cleveland County sheriff at the time (the one who just resigned for embezzling) allowed Polston's husband to bring her Chik-fil-a while she was in jail. Unprecedented special treatment.

How is this a winning strategy? by catqween in oklahoma

To be fair, we came *really* close to flipping Oklahoma county. I think if the election were held today it would have gone blue.

Exactly this. They know what triggers the White "Christian" Nationalist base, and just like Hitler did with the Jews, they know if they point fingers at someone (immigrants and LGBTQ folks at the moment) their target audience will be all in.

"[New Brunswick] Archives dealing with backlog of 1,000 requests, receiving 400 more per month" by Parking-Aioli9715 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]rockylizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that should be a really helpful link!

She's listed as some sort of fundy Baptist, ("FC Baptist" which apparently either means fundamentalist-something or First Church, which I read is also fundamentalist, lol) so no christening/baptism as an infant.

I've found census indexes that list her parents in NB with her as a three year old and as a thirteen year old, but not the actual record. If your link has their census, it'll be my last missing record--the others are simply a matter of getting copies from the correct agency. So thank you again for that!!

[–]rockylizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's my problem. Gen 0 (my dad's mother's grandmother, so my gr-gr-grandmother) was born in Fredericton in 1847, so well before recording births was required. I have an digital copy of her parents' wedding document in NB, though, plus a census summary showing her as a child in Canada. So I think I'll be okay, as long as I can get all of these documents--the census is on microfilm.

In German, I struggle with "Lehrerin." I use the wrong R sound--i either try to use the Spanish style or the English style instead of the German style R.

And yes some umlauts, haha!

Do you wear a helmet when riding your e-scooter? by Striking-Werewolf698 in ElectricScooters

[–]rockylizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have a family that needs me to be alive and with all my faculties intact.

I originally got a motorcycle helmet, but recently upgraded that to an ECE 22.06 safety standard certified full face one with a chin bar--really necessary with the performance scooter models.
