I think she’s trying to channel Barbara Walters. Second I hear it, off she goes because I know bullshit is coming into my ear canal.

That’s what a rip current looks like. So called because it will rip your soul from your flesh if you fight it.
Guess I should add for those not in the know; If you suddenly get yanked out to sea, roll with it until it stops pulling, swim sideways till you’re past the tip (heh), then swim back to shore.
Just commented yesterday that Alabama has the cutest small towns. Dothan seems nice but I don’t think I’ve ever stopped there.

“If I say it’s safe to surf this beach, it’s safe to surf this beach!”
Yep, too many icons was a thing in Win95 in 98. Can’t remember if XP cared.

We spent the 4th happily boating (electric!), swimming, fucking around on the local river, no thoughts of foul water.
Stated a fact. Sounds like you the one with the hurt feels. OTOH, seems you’re dumb enough to believe Indonesia has 600 sets of distinct DNA. Did you even reply to the right comment?!
shalafi@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Lynard Skynard talks about Sweet Home Alabama, but I don't know if that states has anything worth mentioning?English9·2 days agoAlabama is 70% forest, beautiful to travel the back highways. Judging by the forestry activity I see, they must supply a huge chunk of lumber for the region.
Many, if not most, of the small towns are surprisingly nice, but the wealth gap is on full display. Not a fan of the big cities. Mobile and Birmingham are gross all around.

My favorite all-time insult was laid upon me by my soon-to-be ex:
“Well look at you! You ain’t nothin’! You’re scrawny, you’re an alcoholic and if you didn’t have such a big dick you wouldn’t be worth nothin’!”
Never had an insult shut me the fuck up, instantly. I mean, that really hit home.
