Where in Florida did you live that it reminds you of Iowa? That’s a comparison I’ve yet to read or hear

I'm thinking more of Florida and Iowa having eerily similar COVID death cults. Only difference is that Iowa's dumbass governor is far less charismatic than Florida's dipshit governor.

absolutely not.


florida is an absolute cesspit, filled with conmen, CIA cash, creative racists (we have so many slurs), fascists, generally deranged lunatics, and worst of all: new yorkers. it is many things but it's not boring, which is the overriding feature of the midwest.

the closest place in the US to FL is probably AZ, specifically Phoenix because it's also a weird cesspit of crazies and retirees who think bc they've found a stupid mcmansion they get to act like petty tyrants at all times.


but even then its hard to compare since the genesis of florida's cultural insanity is a result of it becoming the replacement vacation colony (and CIA money pit) for americans after we lost access to Cuba.

So I did an hour long workout of squats and deadlifts and lunges and because I only have like 60kg total of weights here it means I just do sets of like 25 and 30 reps and then thought - I'll really gas these legs out and did a run twice as far as I normally do to hit these loving lame hills. Then I got home and because it's rained all week my grass has gone mental so I decided to mow that too. 3 hours of running hills, doing squats and then pushing poo poo up and back, I think I'm gonna be quite sore tomorrow.

I suspect not only was it fighting against the Pixar machine, which wouldn't really screw up until cars 2 a year after tangled, the previous WD CG titles leading up to it were:

-chicken little
-meet the robinsons
-bolt

not exactly a murderer's row of confidence-inspiring hits.

The follow-up films were wreck-it-ralph and frozen though, so they definitely figured something out.

Also some other kid at school has spilled the beans as it were that "there is a place called disneyland where everything is real" so its existence is no longer a surprise.

I love Tangled so I agree. I'm not a big Disney movie person in general but I will watch that movie anytime.

Today was dumb and too busy and even dumber. Someday when I'm queen of the world our CPS intake will screen things correctly when cops take kids in to protective custody. Also we'd stop dealing with cops since they make things worse.

Also team figure skating is on and it is very relaxing. The Americans are going to get wiped in the women's but are pretty strong for men.

Most of my memories of Florida are from visiting my grandparents outside Tampa. Just miles of the worst kind of suburbs imaginable, and then you get to the beach. Probably a reason Clearwater is the Scientology capital.

My team that lost 3 senior-level people (only one with the senior in his job title though) last month just hired their replacements after an extensive job search of 2 weeks. Nobody outside of my manager and a tech lead who hires people who quit in 6 months did interviews.

1 has "IT experience" and is the Senior they hired.
1 "worked on a helpdesk"
1 "has done a little coding in his free time"

None of them are in the States where my team lives and won't be working the hours of the day my team needs for coverage. Also I work in code build and deployment.

This is going to go great.

Iowa's dipshit governor, Kim Reynolds (the moron who signed an executive order making it illegal for municipalities and school districts to issue mask mandates), declared that Iowa's public health emergency proclamation will expire on February 15, and the state's two COVID-19 tracking websites will be decommissioned on February 16.

Good news, everyone! We beat the coronavirus! Even though we had more than a thousand new cases in Dubuque County as of Wednesday!

I’m happy the government has decided that 3k+ deaths a day is not sufficient to be concerned about. Even if it overloads the health care system and even if when each wave peaks it grinds essential services to a halt bc so many people are sick. None of those things matter. What matters is that we called the manager on the plague and now we’re going back to pretending it doesn’t exist.

Lol that anyone thought we’d do something about climate change a far less immediately acute problem.

I've enjoyed the Jack Reacher books I've read but your second sentence is still very weird to me. I mean, even if you only read airport fiction you're probably reading more than most Americans so good on you.

I'm mostly thinking about the time Jack Reacher punched a guy in the chest in between heartbeats and instantly killed him (in fairness he didn't know he was punching him in between heart beats, it was just an amazing coincidence)

Looking at my high school cohort I think I'd place in the top 30% for financial and social stability. Despite that comfort, and the responsibility of a kid, I can never permanently shake the idea of taking extreme action to change our society. It is baffling to me that political and economic elites generally go about their days unmolested by the public. I think I understand the reasons why. Folk are too busy, feel powerless, generally non-confrontational, hopeful for natural change, social inertia, etc. Still, I always thought there would be a tipping point. Suppose these days that has less to do with general suffering and more to do with the flow of treats people use to self medicate.

Manchin is a symptom more than a cause but still, what's the worst thing that's happen to him for his openly repugnant behavior? Got yelled at from a pier while hanging out on his yacht? With all this inaction we're just inviting the fascist backlash.
