Boomers are well into the dementia ages now. My wife and I are now dealing with our 3rd parent showing more symptoms.

They have a disproportionate chunk of the wealth and it’s gonna all end up in the pockets of shady healthcare and nursing home companies.

These storage units are usually at gas stations though, which are kinda dumb to be smoking anywhere near IMO. But I still see people doing it now and then. Usually gas station employees.

Figured Ben would be going a different direction with the theoretical ground hole…

I’m a couple hours from your border and will be walking through the woods to claim asylum if shit gets bad.

This has graphic design intern written all over it.

Yeah Wellington is a sandwich. So are hotdogs and hamburgers (when sandwiched between bread). Wellingtons as just meat uncrustables (RIP).

A local icecream place that also had goats and ducks was fucking setting them off right over the goat pen. They were sprinting from shelter to shelter inbetween explosions.

I don’t plan on going back there now. It’s a shame because it’s one of the better shops nearby.

I’m kind of coming around on the idea of liberal/progressive gun ownership. Maybe we should start hitting the gun shows and buying them off the cons. If we have enough to scare them, maybe we can get some sensible gun laws passed too, then turn them all in like Australia did.

But only if we can follow the example of Swiss-like compulsory service and training. I have some liberal friends who I do not want handling guns.

Trump refused to call in the same National Guard that has beaten up the BLM protesters the summer before.

He did move the embassy to Jerusalem. It probably helped escalate the tensions that led to the attack and then war.

It makes me skeptical that much of the anti-Biden rhetoric around Israel/Palestine is either IDF/Russian/Iranian trolls or just terminally online edgelords who haven’t got a clue about the realities of a US election. Namely that letting Biden lose will be much worse for everyone, Palestinians especially.

Never liked the 3 spoke wheels at the time, but kinda fun to see nowadays.

Had the perfect vanity plate too!

Technically it's a 90s car (discuss.tchncs.de)

It’s a 1991 VW Multivan so it came with a poptop, and a cabinet in the back (so it has a weird L shaped downstairs bed), but no kitchen, just seating for 8 with two backwards facing jump seats.

It is very much 1980s technology (especially the convoluted ignition and injection system that still managed to act like a carburetor on cold starts). Everyone who approaches it at gas stations and parking lots always asks what year it is, then they look confused when it starts with a 9.
