A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

Which ones? Is there a specific date range/tag? That way I can hoard them properly
Maaaaaaan. Eesh.
I'm sorry. That sucks when that happens. Which con? 🫂
Absolutely. It's amazing that there were no casualties in all of this

I know where it started, but not exactly how. I was in the Union St. Sally's directly across from that vape shop when everyone inside ran out yelling and smoke started pouring out. Then the vape shop started to explode. I posted a 4 part thread under another post--lemme see if I can find it
I found my receipt as proof
I'm sorry, I hope my reply thread posted correctly. There are 4 main bits. It was a weird, and now has become a horrifying, situation. WTF. What an awful gutpunch.
...I wish I'd thought to document the situation, but I was too focused on finding an exit & watching the madness unfold in kind of shocked numbness? We got out just before the 1st FL and neighboring shops caught fire. I saw black smoke pouring from the upper story vents as the cops helped us leave
...from down the block ran up with a fire extinguisher and tried to spray the flames, but he was dragged away by his friends as the cops and fire dept. showed up. We were allowed to evacuate once the trucks blocked our side of the street from the flames/debris and the explosions stopped...3/?
...several minutes circling the block. Before it got back, though, the vape shop started to explode. Vape batteries, I guess? We couldn't leave because there was no back exit from the Sally's, and we didn't want to risk walking out into the path of explosion debris or flames. Some guy from...2/?
I didn't think to take video or pics at the time because I was too stunned, but I was in the Sally's Beauty across from that vape shop when the men inside ran out into the street shouting and smoke started pouring out. The first fire truck accidentally sped past the vape store and had to spend...1/?
I think you were in some, like, futuristic scifi thingy at one point? Wing Commander III and IV, right? You've gotta do more scifi someday!
And you were iconic in Comic Book: The Movie
I JUST WANT TO SIMMER SOME HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE.
I WANT TO BOIL WATER IN UNDER 20 MINUTES.
I WANT TO FUCKING SEAR MY STEAK, DAMMIT, NOT MILDLY BROWN IT
I am a "mature student" at my University living in student housing, and ALL OF THE STOVES are that kind! I hate it! I can't use my stovetop coffee percolator without having to go turn the burner back on at least twice during the brew time, and fuck me if I want to leave anything to simmer.
"...looking like I could eat you up like those flames are up those worke...WAIT, YOU FORGOT YOUR MOZZARELLA STICKS!"
Score! Free cheese sticks.
Ah, yes.
"Hey handsome human, did you know that I went to class inside what used to be the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, where dozens burned to death in a disaster that lead to some of the first workplace safety regulations? You remind of them, tempting fate by leaning on your stool like that..."
I feel like the Sheenantburgs could win the internet by recreating this meme
"I AM FINE AND TOTALLY NOT PUT OUT BY THESE UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS"
First of all, who the actual fuck says that on a date with a stranger?!!!! As a CONVERSATION OPENER?
Second of all: a win is a win? Understanding oneself better as a win?
Productive procrastination. You are technically accomplishing something, just not the thing you need to do.
My brain decides it's the perfect time to deep clean the oven or bathroom whenever I have an essay due.
