I enjoy South Park, I really do, but this isn't a good comparison. Unless you're literally Zuckerberg and can go to your own hospital, but that's about it. And that's not going to help a lot of the old timers out there with underlying conditions.

Eh, South Park isn't great, but at least they highlight both sides of an issue before Matt and Trey get too stoned to think of a reasonable conclusion. It's brain candy.

Today I join the ranks of people beaten to a joke by what I can only imagine is years by South Park

I should probably start watching it again

Over a decade. It was the episode where Cartman contracts HIV while having his tonsils removed, so he gives it to Kyle. When Kyle finds out he threatens to break Cartmans' xbox and they go to California to ask Magic Johnson how he beat AIDS. They make a vaccine out of the cash under Magics' mattress.

Haven't seen that episode in ages, but like everything else, the details of it just rot in the back of my mind. Good for trivia, I guess.

I don't much care for Always Sunny. I can watch a few episodes at best before the absurdity of it becomes so disconnected or cringing that I wind up changing the channel. I love everybody on the show, but they really shoot for detachment from reality by the second act.

I live in walking distance from a grocery store that's easily overlooked. I'll be fine. There will be food on the shelves for a while to come even if this goes all Captain Tripps. The walmarts and costcos can run on empty for all I care.

I bought a 12 pack of TP last week, that should last me more than long enough for the shelves to be overflowing with rear end paper again.

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)

Thanks for the quick rundown.

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

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.

Ehh, Murfreesboro isn't what it used to be. I first moved there in 2002, then promptly left for the army all of six months later. I went back in 2006 after I ETS'd, stayed until 2010, still had a good vibe, moved to Memphis for five years. Spent another year in Murfreesboro before dragging west to the wonderful weed lands. It's a great place to live in your twenties, visit anytime, lots of civil war poo poo to check out, but it's a bloated college town now.

It went from 75k people to nearly double that in the past 20 years. Kinda interested to see the census total for the city when they're done. Lotta rose colored lenses come out when I think about it that first time I lived there.

It happens all the time. An F5 hit Oklahoma City in the late 90s, another hit Moore in 2013 (about half a mile south of the first), hell a tornado hit Salt Lake City somehow.

Edit: This has been beaten to death, oh well.

Frankly, it's a relief to have a natural disaster to talk about, compared to the national disaster that is every day. Sucks about the victims, but hey, night tornado in Nashville, could've been a hell of a lot worse.

All my people still local to Nashville are fine. Got a brother out there, but he's flung far enough north that he just got thunderstorms. Buddy out by Mt. Juliet is fine, but it cut a much closer line to his place than anyone else I know.

If people are so goddamn happy to want to start a war, the least they can do is fight it in Kansas so the rest of us can go on with our loving lives and maybe get some bad tv out of it.

Trump getting the tax holiday passed is a way to make Bidet look like poo poo when/if it happens. He's going to say Biden wants to raise your taxes by ending the holiday for his base to crawl out and vote for him, then he'll ride it out to the end of the year and expire anyhow if he wins.
