Bears generally avoid people. They're naturally afraid of humans, which makes them pretty safe. Things are different when bears become familiar and comfortable around people, or discover that humans are a source of food. Then they get close to people which makes them much more of a threat.

By contrast, strange men are not naturally afraid of people, and most have learned that humans are a source of food. That makes strange men far more dangerous. Pick the bear every time.

With multiple accounts anything is possible!

Don't try with only one account that just removes the upvote.

Why are porcupine quills used for? Why would you want to harvest them? Or is this a turn of phrase I'm taking wayy to literally?

Hearing about people like that really upsets me.

Reclaiming a slur is only something that the target of the slur can do. Self describing with the slur as an individual or as group is reclaiming the slur. Calling someone a slur when you're not a target of that slur, is just referring to someone with a slur. That's not reclaiming, that's just claiming.

But trying to explain it away instead of just apologizing is the worst part.

I'm just reporting the track speed through the area. But yeah, that's how they go very slowly.

This is real. It's La Grange KY and the CSX LCL subdivision from Louisville to Cincinnati runs directly through the city. There is a highway built along the same corridor paralleling the track, and for only 3 blocks in downtown La Grange, it runs directly down the middle of main street.

Street running is a thing in some places. It's mainly historical. It's much less of a thing nowadays because rail is no longer used for local deliveries, and it's generally better to run in separated corridors. The trains can only go through the street run at 10 MPH.

Heavy freight rail infrastructure is neither a good way to have pleasant spaces for people, or efficient rail transport. Trams are good for street running, enormous freight trans, not so much.

happy birthday lobster and it is a satire in my experience!

I spammed the predictive text button. It sounds just like me! AI really is the future.

We already live in the cars universe. That's the satire. A fictional world built exclusively for cars looks the same.

F is an S tier letter.
