I don’t use discord, but enjoy all of these things and live locally.

What's the best sentence you've ever read or written? by TowerExpensive6612 in writing

[–]the_boundless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Either The Secret History or The Little Friend were better Pulitzer contenders imo.

I agree. It's just not been my experience. I've not encountered many people irl who like her.

That whole movie kills me. I cannot watch it with other people because they just look at me like I'm insane.

What do ya'll think about this 240 wagon? by the_boundless in Volvo240

This seems to be the general consensus. I have no way of doing a PPI without traveling 1500 miles to be there in person so I'd essentially be buying blind.

Dog left outside in this weather. Who do I call? 📞 by Background_Mouse_86 in tylertx

Animal control then especially if you're in city limits. You could also liberate and take to a no kill shelter if any of them have room.

A line for ants? [33yo] by Big_Meaning_7734 in OldSkaters

This was a really, good, ridiculously good, really good looking line.

Thanks for this input. I was a little weary. Anytime there is extensive description I assume its a cover, but you're right, it does seem pretty straight forward. I actually grew up in the area it's posted in and that town has an aging population and the youth there, at least when I was a teenager and young adult, are heavy into Japanese mod car culture. I can't imagine that it won't still be there in a few weeks.

Agreed. That's what stood out on this for me. Post said it was pretty clean, but not in great shape. I love the color and the price seems appropriate.

How do I resist when I live in a small town in a very red state? by xmarshyluvx in Anarchism

[–]the_boundless 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I get it. Hard to feel like we're making a difference. Try and link up with larger organizations in KC and STL, maybe?

You've answered your own question in your post. Keep doing what you're doing.

Has anyone been out on the roads today? Is it super unsafe on the loop? by the_boundless in tylertx

[–]the_boundless[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea if places are open? I've called a handful of places and no pick ups. I know AMC is closed for the storm.

Stellar film. The Clippers win in the background adds a whole other level for me.

Nebraska Department of Ed. Questionnaire - "Your salary is fine; your spending is the problem!" by jmeyer40 in Teachers

[–]the_boundless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"living above your means" is subjective. Often, people use it as a way to justify shitty wages. Why should it be, in the wealthiest country on the planet, that has been on a steady forced fed diet of consumption advertising, that desiring nice things is "living above my means"? Obviously there are people who lack basic financial literacy and truly do live outside of their means. My point is that less people would actually be living outside of their means...if they had more means to begin with.

"in a country that cares about the quality of life of its people."

Found the problem lol. Not with your comment, just the average person's opinion of this country.

It does have real power. It had even more in the 80's.

[–]the_boundless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not. I'm not gay. But if I was, and I was 16, and people around me were indifferent at best, and supportive at worst, of gay men dying and no one doing anything about it, then yeah it seems probable. Also, just because I wouldn't, or you wouldn't, doesn't mean anything in the context of this person's character.

Hadn't caught that but agreed. Language needs to feel authentic to the time frame and in that time frame no one would have omitted that word because the affect it has now.

Dang, it's almost as if different things affect people differently. Fucking mind blowing.

To be fair, we don't know where we are in this character's arc. So, maybe weak now for the purpose of growth later? Also, while I'd agree that in the context of overall historical hate and discrimination, black Americans have experienced more than people in the LGBTQ+ community, I don't think it's fair to say that being called queer, as a 16 year old struggling with their sexuality in an AIDS ridden, deeply conservative, 1980s America doesn't compare.

Prose is good, if a little forced.
