Headline’s phrasing made me think it was to a particular group (i.e. a small number) of campers, but they’re actually talking about all the tickets they handed out cumulatively. My initial reaction (before that understanding) was “that’s a bit harsh,” but then I thought about the devastation that could have been caused & realized “no, it’s not.”

After reading that each ticket was for $1,150 (Canadian, since I’m from the US), I thought they actually got off cheap. I’ve no idea if in Canada they could have been held liable for the devastation should the worst actually have happened (I would hope so, but IDK for a fact), but if so then they’d have been bankrupt for life.

“The only stupid question is the one that isn’t asked.”

“What’re you lookin’ at?!?”

The OP statement was “eating anyone,” but maybe that’s why they chose such an ambiguous phrasing.

Gawd, I’m old. Especially with your username, I thought you were looking for tracker apps to create your own music a la Amiga MOD ProTracker types of files.

Ahhh… Another instance of “states rights to make their own laws” being “good” - that is unless they impede unfettered capitalism’s insatiable need to screw people over for ever more money while denying ANY responsibility for how they do so.

Trump’s tariffs likely contribute significantly to that added cost.

IDK - maybe do it so poorly they never want to come back?

That got dropped practically the moment the original founders were out the door many years ago.

There are multiple interpretations of the phrase “eating someone.”

So… How does one get to one of the alternate realities so often depicted in things like the Marvel movies? They’ve gotta be better than this quickly deteriorating shithole…

TYVM for that. May I ask which client that is?

Why do I do this to myself?

Because we know how things should be (or at least we feel/believe strongly that we do), and to give up on that ideal is akin to completely losing our purpose in life. If we can’t live life in a manner compatible with our ideals, then why bother? How are we to be motivated? How do we enjoy life when we know it’s all wrong?

I wish I had the answers to those questions because I’ve wasted my life searching for them in a world that couldn’t care much less.

Good luck to you, kindred spirit. I hope it doesn’t get too rough out there for you.

Err… all I see is a pic. No mix link.

I wasn’t really talking about the politicians admitting anything because we all know better. I’m talking about the arrogant voter who “knows” they’re “right,” but can’t logically justify that claim. By now almost the entire country should be against Trump for all the shit he’s been doing, but his supporters will “rationalize” virtually anything to avoid having to admit they were fools. So the holes needlessly get progressively deeper because of the false bravado they just can’t let go of.

Never mind the difference in screen sizes.

Followed by the deteriating rendition of “Daisy, Daisy,” but modified to sound more maniacal and menacing.

It’s about effing time. I just CANNOT WAIT to see all the corporations that bought up as much real estate as they could go * poof! * over the next several years.

Politics has always been over 90% show and/or spin so they can claim to be “doing something” about a problem. The problems are too complicated in most cases for the average voter to spend enough time learning about and understanding the complexities involved, but heaven forbid you should accuse them of not knowing what they’re talking about or voting for - they’re too afraid of being seen as “stupid” to admit the truth of the accusation. So they cover it up with arrogance and bravado.

Most of the politicians are just grifters who will tell their voters what they think they want to hear. The voters who have spent their entire lives too afraid of being bullied to feel comfortable admitting when they don’t actually know what the best solutions are tend to be the real problem. Then they double-down & dig in further when things go wrong in order to avoid admitting they screwed up, which they keep doing in a vicious loop this making things progressively worse - all because they don’t know how to be confident in themselves while also admitting they don’t understand something that supposedly matters so much to them. So we wind up doing the same stupid things over and over again because the voters think they sound good at first blush to these obstinate idiots - “idiots” only because they keep doing the same things over and over expecting a different result. They refuse to be open and honest with themselves, let alone anybody else - all because they’re too afraid to do so.

I just meant the reversal of orientation. Since I obviously recognized what the color scheme represents, I didn’t think I’d have to go into detail on the basics.
