in my suburb the local stuff was sorta sad because it was mostly old, but granted younger folks are more likely to trek downtown.

I mean you are including all babies and people in nursing homes and in prison and in the military and have jobs that they can’t not go to and in psych facilities. Its still pathetic really but just pointing out using the whole population is a bit off. Also really rural is sorta hard. I can say the folks driving and being inconvenienced by it seemed jazzed and supportive in their honks and call outs (you can tell pissed off from alright) and there were folks in building windows shouting encouragement. I guess im saying I have seen protests get a lot less nice of reactions to people not in them.

I don’t think the weather had anything to do with it.

I don’t think the cold water on a hot day is about flavor. Its just as flavorless as its ever been. Its neutral and you can’t get away from that without flavoring it. Bad water can taste aweful but the best is just going to be neutral. We like the taste of acidic things for some reason. Not sure why. The cold water when hot is more a craving and if for some reason you can’t get ice cold water but you can soda. Even if your not a soda drinker you may guzzle the icey drink.

Boy. They sure coulda made that more apparent. Seems like something to put more in parenthesis than a footnote.

mainly I just don’t want the us doing these bs show of power stunts that are all to common in facist states.

I don’t get the rankings. Seems like only earth day had more people.

I really did not misunderstand. I want the people we are celebrating to wear anything at all they want with zero restriction. jeans and t-shirt, nice dress, uniform, whatever. If we are celebrating them then it only makes sense they do what they want to do. Attendance should not be mandatory but there should be nice perks for them if they come like food and drink and maybe a bit of swag gift bags. Let them self organize things they want to do like a school talent show. Maybe some play instruments and maybe some like the pugilist stuff they do a little choreographed presentation as they go. Let them design floats as they like and provide enough resoures to do this stuff.

its amazing how many of these I have not seen given how many I have seen. Love this one.

no way man. we are celebrating these people. why inflict restrictions on them when we are honoring them. Im fine with those who want to wearing their uniforms.

satan. the description of the that apartment complex is such my dream. something like that in a city. near transit. wow.

thats fine but then screw the equipment and uniforms. Appreciate them as people.

I sure hope its outpacing it. in 2017 he was a nuissance but now he is tearing apart out democracy.

I can say it took awhile before the march began and I heard the cpd was saying their was to many for the route to handle but they finally got it going (Im betting they were telling them that do they want to tell all these people they can’t march). If that number is 20k I mean…

ugh. could not stomach more than a few mins of the newz commentary.

cbs took the trump tower shot when the 13 foot tall baby trump was passing it by.

I don’t know how many chicago had but I joked it felt like so many the edge or it was going to meet up with the edge of suburban ones. Even people not in it were waving from buildings and cars and the cars were honking but in the kind of supportive honk way. There was one guy with a bullhorn counter protesting but the crowd chanted him down with shame. shame. shame. and well it pretty much goes on like that till you moved passed him.

changed as new ones came up. I remember being excited with battle of the planets and isis but later thundar the barbarian seemed way cool. The D&D one especially the bow and eventually the transformers but by that time I was getting the you are too old for cartoons thing. Still not sure at what point I will think im too old.

If law enforcement was following the law I would not be protesting.

thats my plan. im not taking wallet or keys or anything. just a transit card.
