I like this thread. Sometimes there’s nothing like a reminder of how considerate kind people can actually be. Also it reminds me I need a tool kit and jumper cables ASAP, haha. A few years ago, my then-boyfriend and I were riding with his friends back to their house one night. Something was...

Ultimately Waze is just a tool and people are responsible for the choices they make when using it, but I certainly see how the “traffic cop†feature can be abused. And I’m sure the other features could be abused as well, as handy as they are. It does feel like that particular feature just...

Aw man, food-wise there are few things worse than sub-par fries/chips. Especially from supposedly posh restaurants (I’ve never been burned like that, but I’ve known people who have). I’ll only eat them from certain places for that exact reason. Can’t beat diner-style or drive-in local...

Hadn’t thought of doing it online. It seems like a potentially viable route to take. It’s always good to know there are safe ways to go about it, I’ll have to keep this all in mind should another situation arise.

What a heartwarming story. And what a forgiving young man, to hold no resentments against his birth mother. I love reading about things that work out so well like this. Thank you for sharing.

Ah, that’s more or less what I’d been thinking. I was mostly curious because I currently live in a neighborhood where it wouldn’t be all that difficult to figure out who might be calling a tip line. Pretty remote, not too many people, so retaliation is a slight factor. I suppose I might...

I have to admit, it was canned potatoes. We experimented and cooked them with a can of Amy’s lentil vegetable soup. Quite good semi-Broke-Phi-Broke food.

True enough, it’s not as if the chances are remote that severe cyberbullying would happen to me, or to any of us here. And of course it’s not right or fair. I’m not saying people shouldn’t be punished for these things at all, ever. Some trolling could be considered terroristic...

Yeah, flipping the bird isn’t really road rage. And I’ve seen yelling and name-calling go completely ignored. Unless it’s somewhere like a service station, but even then it’s usually some type of security who gets the call, not the police. It would probably be best to save any police...

I’m of two minds on the illegality of trolling as well. Banning revenge porn, sure; as previously stated there are certain boundaries that revenge porn could potentially violate. But internet trolling? On the one hand, I appreciate the idea that online abuse is being looked into more closely...

Not a fact per se, but I was browsing a thesaurus and an unabridged dictionary for writing assignment purposes earlier, and I ran across this word: Did not know there was a word for this phenomenon, haha!

I’ve been reading about this earthquake. So many lives lost, and an entire world heritage site destroyed. Nepal is in my thoughts, and all the praise goes to the police and military who are helping in this emergency situation.

I’m generally a rule follower, but there are certain instances in which they should be broken. Those are usually pretty extraordinary circumstances, but they do exist. I’m definitely not one to break rules just for fun or kicks, or just because I think I can. There should be a good reason...

I’d imagine there are some, just like there are in any job with good benefits. In fact I’m pretty sure someone I know joined the force for idealistic reasons, disliked it, quit for a while and then ended up going back for the benefits. I do like to think the majority of police officers would...

There have been a handful of times I’ve wanted to use the anonymous crime reporting hotline, but I’ve never really known how it works. My family never trusted it, especially in this day and age when everything and everyone can be tracked. So I was just wondering if anyone could explain it to...

Tom Mison, Tom Mison, and Tom Mison. Okay, okay. Probably a mirror, the biggest pot I could find, and a towel. Sorry, Tom.

Not to mention, some people can be so worried about others judging them, it leaves them little time to judge others. Reminding myself of that was what helped me not be so ashamed of where I came from, etc.

Mine’s an early 2014 MacBook Air, the top-of-the-line 13†option. My ex actually commented on that when he found out I had the 256GB SSD, in fact. “Oh, look at you, Miss Moneybags.†Hahaha. It’s straight out of the box, though, no upgrades. Haven’t even upgraded my OS because it’s...

Nah, that’s not selfish at all, that’s good sense. Plus I hardly think anyone who would consider donating to charities could be considered selfish. One non-profit I would definitely donate to would be where I volunteer, Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary. It’s a no-kill shelter for dogs and...

I’ve noticed it in my small town as well. It’s not that much of a surprise to me, though. There have always been a high number of drug busts in the district, and people are flocking to certain parts of the district because of the fairly cheap real estate. Also car thefts are on the rise, so...
