Cowards Next you'll be wanting to enact climate change legislation that could lower the risk of tornadoes, instead of fighting them with your sidearm, like a real american badass (me, who is definitely not a physical coward)

Ah the gun, a coward’s weapon. The most powerful weapon in a tornado hunter’s arsenal is honor. *unsheathes katana*

The people on my life that are the most fearful are the most Christian. I really don’t understand if you believe in the after life in the way that they say they do that they would be scared of pretty much going outside at all . They aren’t all geezers either . I’m not sure who’s to blame (beside religion), but the media definitely makes things worse. None of them live in a high crimes , or even average crime area, yet being murdered by a stranger is a significant threat to them .

Dr.Caligari posted:It was only on the last couple years I realized that all those “tornado drills” we frequently had were just this The tornado drills were for tornados. Nuclear drills involved hiding under your desk if your school didn’t have a bomb shelter. Any similarity is because both tornados and nuclear blasts knock buildings down.

In America at least, Conservative beliefs correlate heavily with a broader and deeper fear response, regardless of religious background. You could be seeing that, though I guess it's a chicken or the egg situation.

Nah, I'm thinking of these things: I think I ate one once when I was about 9. I don't remember quite what it tasted like, but I know I will never try one again. And this is from a man that once ate cold Chef Boyardee out of the can in the cold and dark with a pair of scissors because our power and water got shut off.

My maternal grandmother always had these and those Brach's butterscotch candies in her purse when I was a kid. I'm pretty sure both were at least a decade old as well. I was never sure why she had them since no one liked them, but then since she also loved those godawful Circus Peanuts, I think her sense of taste was shot.

Someone, somewhere on some TV news hypothesized the range of Cuba's nukes on a map. The nuke range extended just into southern Georgia. They lived just into southern Georgia. He noticed that. They did have duck and cover drills at school. For more unsettling, here is the "Daisy" ad from the 1964 Presidential race. It was considered so disturbing it only aired once. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDTBnsqxZ3k

I work with the elderly and can confirm their taste goes to poo poo. The lady I take care of has put some insane stuff together like blackberry jam on a sandwich with pickles. Man that's awful in itself

Not crazy about the strawberry gooey candy either. With that said, I've had family work at the Brach's factory from the day it opened to the day it closed. Our joke was you could always tell who worked there because they couldn't stand the smell of chocolate anymore whether they worked the floor or in the offices. My favorite Brach's candies are the cinnamon gummies, the caramel Royals, the orange slices, the chocolate stars and the spice drops.

You malingerers act as though Necco wafers don't exist. "I don't like the way this tastes" vs. "this challenges the definition of 'candy.'"
