I'll save people the googling time in case you've got folks in the area. Tornado went from just north of the state capitol, through East Nashville, Hermitage, and Mt. Juliet and ended before it got to Lebanon. 40 buildings down, 2 dead, and messed up a bunch of hangers at the smaller airport. West Nashville didn't take any damage, although there were reports of baseball sized hail in Dickson. (e: 6 total dead from overnight elsewhere in the mid-state) SquirrelyPSU fucked around with this message at 13:24 on Mar 3, 2020 |

Just want to point out that the only people that got hosed by not having access to robinhood were people who left open short options over the weekend. Leaving options open over the weekend is risky enough. Leaving short options open after president jobs says he’s cutting taxes and the fed is cutting interest rates is really dumb. A lot of those people’s options are now worthless unless the market nosedives again. The people who lost money, though, were mostly just gambling that the market was going to continue to crash. Someone holding options as a hedge is also out some amount of the option cost, but these traders are likely not on robinhood and would still hold various short options as a hedge regardless so the loss is minimal.

So were a lot of the people voting in this Primary. Popular but bad old ideas by their nature necessitate that voters used to share those ideas and changed. The idea that they are legitimate mistakes that can be learned from is a core part of those voters identities/positive sense of self. But I too can't imagine why writing off people that held bad but formerly mainstream opinions decades ago as irredeemable pieces of poo poo doesn't play with the electorate.

Just went through an emotion rollercoaster. Walking through base to the ship and a cop lights up, and I get excited for a suprise shot of schadenfruede to start the duty day off right, but it turns out he was just lighting up to make a u-turn. I was crushed.

One of the things I respect the most about Bernie is that he has steadfastly been trying to make the United States communist for as long as he’s been in the public eye. (I’m kidding about the communism but I do respect that he seems to be playing on the same side of the social justice fence for his entire life)

Catch some weird fuckin looks when I justify my decision to vote for Sanders with, "He's a good man." Apparently that's not how this works for a lot of people.

A daytime tornado went right through downtown Nashville about 20 years ago. 1999 or 2000 or so. Used to have a boss at a job that rode that tornado out in a parking garage next to a job site. The video was pretty wild. E: It was 1998 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_of_April_15%E2%80%9316,_1998

Been asking people to explain to me so that I can explain to my 10 year old daughter why someone would vote for Trump. I've gotten gems like "a 10 year old can't really wrap their head around things like that," which may be true, but she can sure as poo poo wrap her head around why someone wouldn't vote for him, and that should really loving tell you something, imo.

not caring here posted:I'm not really sure what I expected the night time view of Nashville to look like, but it's fancier than I expected. Nashville has come a long way since I moved there 20 years ago. The medical industry has pretty well turned it into a hub and it's basically little California in some parts of the city. It's a great place for tourist poo poo, I wouldn't suggest living there, but it's definitely a better city than Memphis.

Memphis sucks. I spent five years there. Never lived in another city that I felt compelled to carry at least a knife everywhere. Never carried a gun there because of the weed habit. Drugs OR guns in the south. Never both on you or in the same place as you. I know people who brag about Memphis like it's a wonderful place with no problems and it's just like.... Nope. I've lived a lot of places, I'd rather go back to the army than Memphis. Only had to slightly raise my heel to clear the Memphis/Nashville comparison. Tennessee cities suck rear end.

I flew out of Memphis once for work, and of all the places I've traveled through that's the only one I remember hearing gunshots in broad daylight while filling up the rental car outside of the airport.
