That time of year again. The precious snow flakes are headed back to school: http://www.wcsh6.com/news/offensive-banners-near-umaine-campus-removed/469418618 A little sexual assault awareness classing seemed in order after forcing some "studies" degree student to clutch their pearls. Sadly, there isn't any sense of humor allowed anymore. I find the "mother-daughter drop-off location" to be perfectly fine and I have a daughter. As a matter of fact, I find these signs to be far more witty.
Is this happening anywhere else? Also, I totally hate myself, but I'm loving the Scott Peterson and Leah Remini Scientology shows on A&E.
I remember back in the day we thought it was fucked up that you had to sign in with ID to get into a school residence if you weren't a student there. That was the biggest restriction on a campus. You weRent forced to sit through some bullshit for making a joke or acting like general young adult college-types. Jesus when will this simmer down? You're not going to snuff college kids from doing what they do. Some are there to learn and don't fuck around (a lot), then there's the opposite: the guys who take an upright piano up six flights of stairs to see what happens when it hits the roof of the police cruiser after they prank call the cops. The idiots who bakes six ounces of weed into one tray of brownies just to see what it does to them. The ones falling down drunk in the back forty of their residence at 10 am on the first day of class. They came to party and waste their parents money because every kid wants the "college experience". Take that fun away from them, it will piss them off and they'll simply cook up a new and even worse thing to fill the void. College is no place for the fun police or blocking any speech in general.
I found a nice balance between your description of the college experience and the goody goody. I smoked weed pretty much every single day. Had excessively careless sexual experiences. Got banned from attending events from a certain sorority because because I hooked up with too many of them and they didn't like me anymore. But I also got good grades.
Our undergrad had one main classroom building, freshman year one of the RAs and my roommate decided to play a "joke" and run some caution tape across the entrances. First few classes the next day were canceled because people are idiots. Whoops.
Guess not. People are so dumb here and need to chill the fuck out. This is the nonsense I was talking about: http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/31/news/hurricane-harvey-gas-dallas/index.html
The running out of gasoline has not happened yet, but I live in California and we use a different blend of gas. The price has risen $.20 this week and will probably go up $.50 next week. Welcome to the early 70s children.
Sadly, we get our gas from California...so we get y'all's ridiculous prices. It was $2.69 when I filled up Monday. I have no idea what it is now.
http://www.msn.com/en-ca/autos/news...ean-gains-shark-instead/ar-AAr59bK?li=AAggFp5 Am I the only one who read this and thought, "Jesus Christ, let him go"? He ran from the cops and beat them. He then swam for so long in the open ocean that even the police drones couldn't keep track of him, and he evaded sharks while he was at it. Fine him and move on; he has the makings of a folk hero. Also, meth is one hell of a drug.
All those resources deployed over a inconsequential amount of meth, the war on drugs is such an utter failure, what a joke.

Long weekend, so I'm driving down South to visit fam and buy a new-ish car. Girlfriend was supposed to go with me, but she peeked into my phone and flipped her shit about my ex inviting me to lunch (I'm looking for a new gig, and it was a networking event...ffs). So, YAY an 9 hour car ride to discuss that or....a solo trip. Hmm...
People were saying this shit thirty five years ago and look how far we've come: there's no more drug violence, people don't do drugs anymore, it all gets stopped at the border and law agencies in no way profit from it. It was all worth it.
There is a raging fire going on at a chemical plant near Beaumont now. Because fire and water go hand in hand?
From what I understand, the plant lost power, which means they lost air conditioning and other systems meant to keep the chemicals stable. Now that they're heating up and not being environmentally controlled, they are becoming unstable and blowing up.
Yea this gem is about 30 miles away. They lost refrigeration and the their backup generators got flooded as well. It was basically a countdown until the flames started shooting into the sky.
Here's something I never knew: With Irma churning away and building steam out in the Atlantic, someone posted a fake track of the storm showing it was destined to hit south Texas. Apparently it's illegal as hell to post a fake weather report.
