If we wait for everybody, this will never get done.

COME ON, MAN. WE ONLY NEED ONE MORE CONTESTANT.

Face, breasts, ass. Simple tastes for a simple man.

Zat wuz deep und ensightful poast, OP. It maed me cri.

Up until the last few days I was able to add A and M rated content to my art favorites, but now it doesn't work. Sometimes it doesn't work with E and T rated content as well, and seems to extend to my movie favorites. Is there a reason, possibly a problem on my end? Am I losing my mind?

Yeah, that was some mediocre animation and film-making there, so?

What is there to talk about, really?

The kid looks like a scumbag, two years is ridiculous, everybody in this situation is dumb, there is nothing else to talk about in this thread.

I don't know much about Belgium other than the fact that Karl Marx moved there when he was pressured to leave Germany, I think.

Never seen any Rambo films, the first Rocky movie was great. I don't care.

This morning, I was in complete despair and misery. And then I remembered that today was 9/11 and I felt happy.

Jokes aside, what is there to say? It was a significant historical event for the United States and it happened. That's it.

It's actually a STATE park. 6 million acres of private and public land. What the state owns is kept 'forever wild' as per the state constitution. The mix of private land means there are towns and villages all over the large park like Lake Placid, 2 time host of the winter olympics. And Plattsburgh, Ticondaroga, Crown Point and Westport were all important in the Revolutionary war and War of 1812. Lots of awesome history in our own back yards.

I'm almost glad it's not as popular because the high peaks wilderness is already pretty crowded. Too many people on the trails when you're on a 2 day hike and it doesn't feel like wilderness anymore.

I confuse state and national parks constantly, I'm embarrassed by my ignorance. I knew about Lake Placid and Ticonderoga, though. Also, Saratoga was arguably one of the most important out of all of those. Isn't it referred to as the turning point of the Revolutionary War? Also, did you know that Kurt Vonnegut lived in Schenectady for a while, working for GE when they were still doing shit here? Another thing that I remember, Theodore Kaczynski AKA the "Unabomber's" brother lived in Albany and was an assistant director for a center for runaway and abused children, I think. I don't know if the Kaczynskis still live in the area, though. It's nice to talk to somebody else from upstate NY.

Here you go, lots of interesting data here.

It's genuinely funny how close this is to the truth.

So what, was it six years?

Child porn, politically dangerous content, secrets, copyrighted shit, stuff like that I imagine.

I signed it and am going to call my congressional representative at 8:00 PM. Let's hope that we pull through and beat these fucking bastards together.

Far up north. Plattsburgh is probably closest. I grew up in the Adirondack Mountains. We sometimes started getting the first frost around now. I remember pee wee soccer practices where I'd be wearing like 3 pairs of socks because the frost on the ground would make my feet cold

I wish that the Adirondacks got more recognition, they're nice and they're the largest national park in the United States.

It used to annoy me greatly when anyone referred to anywhere south of Albany as "upstate" or referred to Buffalo as anything but Western NY. When asked where I grew up, now that I live in another state, I typically say "northern new york" so they don't ask about westchester and I have to rage-punch their neck.

It's the same for me. If you live around New Rochelle, White Plains, or Scarsdale, you're sure as fuck not upstate and if you say you are I will murder you. Buffalo and Rochester are Western NY, Syracuse is Central NY, (Fun trivia, Tom Cruise is from Syracuse) Albany, Saratoga Springs and the Hudson Valley are Upstate East NY, and the Adirondacks, Plattsburgh, Watertown, and the smaller towns and countryside around them are the true upstate.

I can't wait to get out of New York, though. We couldn't possibly get more irrelevant or crappy.

I get up nice and early and walk to where I'm going, and often have 15 minutes or so to piss away when I'm on university campus, so I'll sit down and enjoy the short break and the good weather, but I started to notice something.

Every other person is on their phone. Literally a right down the middle split, I've sat there and tabulated it. Nobody makes eye contact anymore either. If you're endearing enough and actually have a conversation with a stranger, they can't even make smalltalk anymore.

What happened? Has autism gone viral, or are people just recessing into isolating themselves?

Have you been camping out in the Adirondacks for seven years? It's been like this for a while, having started in the late 2000's. It's not changing or going away, regretfully. It's only speeding up.

You should look up primitivism if you don't like the way things are going with technology, whether you ultimately agree with the philosophy or not. It's interesting, at the very least. And the philosophy brings up a conversation worth having that most people don't think about.

Wow, no need to be a cynical asshole about it, jeez..

It's never made any sense, and not in a funny, fun way. There's no difference between Left Twix and Right Twix. I understand that's the joke, but I still dislike it.

I don't really give a damn about some retarded marketing campaign.

I remember getting freak snowstorms in the summer when I was growing up in northern NY. It never stuck to the ground or accumulated like that though! The first snows to really stick to the ground didn't show up until late September/early October...sucked when soccer season went into October and you're freezing your balls off on the field

Oh, you're from upstate NY too? Where? Ballston Spa? Albany? Schenectady? Or were you further north than that? Glens Falls, Watertown, or Plattsburgh?

Sprite movies aren't terribly interesting any more, sorry.

Pretty much this, thread over.

It can answer many questions, but I think it would be folly to not at least consider other routes.

Either way, our intelligence has gotten us into a bad situation. I don't think that things can be sustained as they are, but that's a whole other story.

Ah, The Onion.
