The three ladies story has been a bore. Just a bunch of gossipping back and forth but for a little bit of action last night. Could've cut out of show and no one would've noticed.


Their only purpose is being the conduit to the Russian thieves storyline.

The friend of the actress who was from Texas also knew the mom from North Carolina and they have mutual friends, and didn't give up her phone like the NC family did. That's probably going to come back around in the finale too.

Wouldn’t they still exist in the original timeline? Their mothers would still have given birth to them

Their mothers spontaneously gave birth while not having been pregnant because of the marigold. So without the marigold in the timeline, they're never born.

I'd find that hard to believe. I'm not sure how much the split will affect us, but we are down the road from a StG fire department that services our neighborhood.

---

Accidentally posted twice so edited to address this one: Your fire district did not change. If you were in the City of Baton Rouge and being serviced by the St. George fire district you still will be. If you were in the City of St. George and being serviced by the St. George Fire District, congratulations - you are no longer also paying for BRFD that you were never getting.

I thought Batin Rouge took Siegen back?

---

According to the map, Baton Rouge used Ward's Creek to get to Siegen and got Siegen from Perkins to Rieger, took the shopping center with the Wal-Mart and then used all of that to jump across the interstate and grab the Advocate.

So if the homeless are panhandling at the on/off ramps, or camping under the Overpass, that's Baton Rouge.

‘Lunch with the boys’ is dead. No more killing time with the boys while talking about the new hot secretary over lunch.

Social life and more importantly social skills are vanishing. No more walking down the hall or having a kitchen conversation with others to collaborate unplanned.

Work/social events. Ping pong tourneys, trivia, potlucks.

Lovebirds in the office. Most marriages used to be between people who met at work. Who doesn’t miss figuring out what trendy outfit you were going to wear on casual Friday to look cool in front of ‘ol Lacy?

It sounds like all Work from Home ruined for you is fricking off and not actually getting any work done.

The map on the petition is final.

---

The map does not include the Mall of Louisiana, L'Auberge Casino and Siegen Marketplace, because those were annexed before the 2nd petition window.

The rest of them that waited until the 2nd petition effort or the passed vote and suddenly wanted out while StG was in litigation? Absolutely. But the stuff Kip got locked in during the 1st petition effort is still Baton Rouge.

quote:

---

does St. George has standing to sue to restore the petition boundaries? BR gobbled up quite a few areas since the original vote.

---

I'm pretty sure those will be reversed, and once the new city government is up and running, those places will have to petition to leave St. George and get that approved to go back to being unincorporated, and then will have to re-petition BTR to annex them into their city.

There is a big moral dilemma that the show is proposing, as far as Viltrumite rule. What would be the down side? I'm not sure about the conditions or what they want in return for being our rulers. But if they massively improve and advance civilization, why wouldn't we accept their rule?

---

Their proposal is 'recognize you can't win and surrender peacefully to enslavement, or we're perfectly happy to murder you all and strip your planet for parts, your choice'. They're not inviting Earth into an alliance. They're conquerors subjugating or extinguishing the weak, and the only reason they didn't show up blasting was they over-extended their Empire, and found it was a lot easier to send one Viltrumite to fringe worlds to soften it up to accept Viltrumite rule without a fight than to send their armies around forcibly invading everything from the get go.

Angstrom Levy's portaling around with a lot of good examples of what happens when you give in and when you don't up in that big arse head of his.

The Inniswold area. February 26, last week and now. During a low power usage period without heavy demand. At this point, it just seems like most things in America are unreliable or broken.

---

In 2020 we had a storm break a power pole in half and throw it in the street, ripping the lines down up and down the block. When they replaced it, they didn't use the right wiring I guess, because every time we had a super windy day/storm after that, the power would go out almost immediately. We finally figured out from reviewing security camera footage that every time the wind blew super hard in a certain direction, it was batting two of the lines against each other and sending up fireballs and blowing the fuse out on the transformer.

Every two weeks for the next nine months we lost power when the wind blew hard. Every time Entergy came out to fix it we showed them the video footage and asked them to fix it permanently, and they'd shrug and just replace the fuse.

So nine months into this nonsense, the wind knocks the power out again, and they send a supervisor and a trainee out to repair it. We show them the video footage and the supervisor realizes the wrong wiring was installed when the initial repair was made, and has a team come out that day to replace it. We haven't had an issue since.

But it took NINE MONTHS of losing power for 4 hours EVERY TWO WEEKS, and showing Entergy footage of wires exploding in fireballs, before someone finally stopped saying 'frick it not my job' and actually did something. And if we didn't have that video footage I don't know that they ever would have fixed it. They would have just kept coming out and replacing the fuse over and over without questioning why it was happening.
