Yep. Detroit has this, too.

Brilliant. I will bet he find some way to get it removed, though.

TIL somebody besides my wife thought that Roy Orbison was blind.

I dated somebody whose family used that as a synonym for farting. So thank you for taking it outside!

I didn't write the above, but it might be recoil. For example, a 12 gauge kicks a lot more than a 5.56.

I try to separate the art from the artist. It reminds me a lot of the controversy surrounding Ryan Adams. What a brilliant songwriter.

Same here. The bodies in the trunk, and the person who was responsible really stuck with me.

I have found the opposite in rural Michigan (northern US). My wife's family has a vacation home, and skilled tradespeople are slightly cheaper around there. The place is more than an hour from any large towns, but 30 minutes from several small towns.

Maybe population is distributed differently here due to the way infrastructure is funded?

I have met one trans developer in the last 35 plus years, and I have worked at a lot of different places. I am based in the Midwestern US.

Is this more a European thing?

I was wondering what on earth the programmer socks memes were about. I guess there must be enough people somewhere to make this meme-worthy.

That is the one that I edited. You don't see the same thing I do? (Thanks again for following up, by the way!)

I thought that Western style Democratic republics were leading the world toward purely secular forms of government, but yet another group of sociopaths has managed to take power. They have distracted the science-illiterate majority into petty conflicts based on different versions of magical thinking.

So, "sane" would mean that we don't elevate the least sane among us (sociopaths) into positions of power. "Rational" would mean that public policy decisions are mostly made based on evidence, rather than fundamentally irrational belief systems.

I fear that we are barely-sentient primates doomed to repeat the same awful mistakes, when simple, obvious solutions are within our grasp.
