winterwerefox posted:Good news! the pizza hut is back! though they closed 3 of the grocery stores so your choice of where to shop is now even more limited to Thunderbird, Fred Meyer, Walmart and Albertsons. While I was working at Fred Meyers, some C level idiot thought it would be a good idea to show a heatmap of the wealth of the town as a 'Wow look how much info we are taking from your membership cards' sorta thing. Bled White in the center for incomes around 10k or less per year, fading into just slightly better near OIT and Sky Lakes. I suspect the town council played sim city because they jsut plopped a new police station right in the middle of the highest crime area. I can still fill a shopping cart at T-bird with Boone's Farm at like $1.50/$2 a bottle right? It's all still good in the K-est of Falls! Is Long John Silvers still outside T-bird? I mean, the classiest of dining right next to the classiest of grocery outlets, amirite!? Also, black is very slimming. I never wore black until I got old and fat. winterwerefox posted:Midges. fish have issues some years, the larvae go absolutely nuts, and they will clog the hell out of everything when you drive near the lake coming past on the 97 and 140.

Ironically it's also windy as gently caress, to the point that we always carried magnifying glasses on hiking trips becuse without tree or ground cover, there's no goddamned way to spark a lighter at that elevation coyo7e fucked around with this message at 04:43 on Nov 16, 2016 |

coyo7e posted:I knew the Pizza Hut was still there somewhere via google, but I like, haven't been able to use its contact info as a job reference in 20 years so I figured that particular one was dust. The building is still there, but they have been closed for a while. Same with the K-Mart that was across the street. That whole section of the parking lot is now taco trucks, tent booths selling flags, and poverty. I think there is a guy selling spaghetti out of a camp trailer too.

 Here's a thought. How about it's neither because it's still goddamn November? I can't stand the "War on Christmas" narrative, but holy poo poo do I hate hearing it in November.

I get these every so often from the same people that post about false flags and chemtrails, usually something along the lines of "IF IT'S SO GOOD FOR US WHY DO THEY WEAR HAZMAT SUITS WHEN THEY HANDLE IT!". There's really not much you can say to it but be practical like "Things that are good in small quantities can be toxic in large quantities... like sunlight or water." It won't matter though, because you're just another tool brainwashed by all the fluoride you've been drinking.

He basically shills for and most likely even believes in every health scam imaginable, and hates all science. Also, Fluoride is deathly toxic, 5 grams is enough to kill a person. These people don't understand the concept of dosage, which makes sense considering they believe in homeopathy. From Wikipedia about his site Natural News, which is way more popular than should be allowed. quote:Natural News (formerly NewsTarget) is a website for the sale of various dietary supplements, promotion of alternative medicine, controversial nutrition and health claims,[2] and various conspiracy theories,[3] such as "chemtrails", chemophobic claims (including the purported dangers of fluoride in drinking water,[4] anti-perspirants, laundry detergent, monosodium glutamate, aspartame), and purported health problems caused by allegedly "toxic" ingredients in vaccines,[2] including the now-discredited link to autism.[5] Joshmo fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Nov 16, 2016 |

Zephyrine posted:Please tell me that this is just a joke.  Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake? Children's ice cream!...You know when fluoridation began?...1946. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love...Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I-I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence.

Some Orthodox churches, including Russian and Ukranian, use December 25 of the Julian calendar, which is January 7th. Others, including Greek Orthodox, switched to the Revised Julian calendar, which is currently the same as the Gregorian calendar, and will be the same for the next 800 years.
