I'll take "When Badgers and Flying Squirrels Fuck" for $800 Alex.

i've had 2 of them for a few years now

I often excuse myself at night meeting/events to "go feed the possums"

the guys selling them at flea markets and shopping malls are essentially running marsupial puppy mills; only interested in a quick buck

Legit breeders charge more, but you're less likely to get a pre-damaged pet. The good ones almost always give you a list of what they can and can't eat, what they use personally, and where they get the stuff that isn't available locally.

I spent about 3 minutes trying to find an appropriate analogy for how ridiculously huge Seattle's inferiority complex is but I failed because I couldn't think of a grandiose enough analogy. I mean, they're so insecure that they spend a good chunk of time bashing Everett, FFS, and we're just the far-flung ass-end of the metro area with about 1/6 as many people as Seattle proper.

They bash EVERETT??? That's like Portland feeling threatened by Aloha. An inferiority complex explains a lot, although I can't for the life of me understand why they'd have one. It's a perfectly lovely city by just about any standards.

We won a major sports championship and ONE MILLION PEOPLE showed up to celebrate. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm a lifelong fan and I'm stoked. But this was some sort of MAJOR VALIDATING MOMENT in these peoples' lives.

And there's hardly anybody left in Seattle that's actually FROM Seattle. It's true of Pugetopolis in general but way more so in Seattle, with it's population made up almost entirely of immigrants, both foreign and domestic. The people that actually qualify as old PNW stock, if you can find them, are usually pretty solid people. They're the descendents of the Scandihoovians and Finns that moved out here to fish and log and be somewhere that sort of reminded them of home and they built a largely tolerant and progressive society (with a mean pro-labor streak and lingering overtones of socialism) that subsequent generations of interlopers have done their best to destroy.

It is awfully pretty, though. But then, so are Everett or Tacoma or any number of other smaller cities that line Puget Sound and don't suffer from Seattle's melange of bullshit.

I like Seattle. I mean, I don't want to live there but I like it. But I haven't been really all that in touch with the evolution of its culture over the last 15 years or so.

I used to LOVE it. I used to write songs TO it, not just about it. And it's not some jaded hipster "it was cooler back when" bullshit, the city's culture really HAS changed very drastically in a relatively short period of time and while I think it's pointless to try to attach a value judgment to something like the evolution of a city, it's definitely lost something in the process of the change. And I don't feel the same way about it anymore.

This fucking marriage fiasco continues.

Rhode Island won't take the BF's birth cert from NY because it's not "long form," Which means, it doesn't have his parents on it. Mine does, but his doesn't, even though we were born in the same state about a year apart. o.O Apparently small towns in upstate don't typically issue a long form certificate, those have to be ordered from Albany, and that will cost us, no shit, about $75 when all is said and done and mailed. Well done, New York. Funny thing, the clerk at Providence City Hall says that this isn't the first time she's seen this happen, but there's nothing she can do. She won't take a passport or military ID as form of citizenship, either. Long form BC, or no dice.

Thanks, Rhode Island. You're such a fucking peach. Right up until the end. Cunt.

New Hampshire will take any form of photo ID, and we can get the license in Portsmouth, drive the hour to Concord to get married by a JP with no witnesses in the capital, and then call it a day. BF says Connecticut didn't give him this much shit either. Rhode Island is just very special.

I'm never getting married again. This is the last time. Ever.

Well, I just got banned from Godless Mingle.

Details!

Well, I just got banned from Godless Mingle.

Details!

I posted something along the lines of "For a group that calls itself "Godless" right in the title, I've noticed that there are way more posts about god, religion, and jesus in a day here than there are in my entire newsfeed in a month. What's the deal with that?"

Dogpiled (200+ posts) and banned within 15 minutes.

That's what you get for questioning Atheists' beliefs.

Women who post mostly-naked pictures of themselves regularly were all "ATTENTION WHORE!" and guys were basically just going "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!".

It was AMAZING.

I just joined. The thread is STILL GOING and you're not even there anymore!

Oh wow  It's almost like people get upset when you question their beliefs or something.

My favorite was the guy who kept saying I was using a logical fallacy, so I asked him if he could describe my logical fallacy in words, and he just kept saying "logical fallacy" and then I finally realized that he doesn't actually know what that means.

I also love how my last few posts in that thread were all, "seriously, can we have a reasoned discussion about this and try to understand what's actually going on here?" while people were frothing and calling me names, and I got banned.

[Junkenstein]

  Clearly an illogical question.

What's the deal, is the place inhabited by the inbred spawn of spock?
