re: What's the worst state out of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama?
Posted by Shorts Guy on 6/26/26 at 2:11 pm to FlyingTigerBo
Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, in that order.
Alabama is about 10-15 years ahead of LA in terms of economic development. Both AL and MS have benefitted from population growth on the coast, which is not really possible in LA for obvious reasons.
MS is gaining, though. But LA is def coming out of the post-COVID slump and it’s been win after win on the economic development front. If the momentum continues I think my rankings will stay the same. If they can do something about these homeowners rates, that would do wonders for stemming out-migration.
All that said, I think I prefer the shittiest parts of LA to the shittiest parts of both AL and MS.

The simplest explanation is usually the right one. I bet like 90% of homicides in America today have something to do with drugs. At the risk of judging a book by its cover, he looks like a kid that would conceivably be buying weed. Also young enough that he probably didn’t grasp how dangerous it is to get involved with certain people.
ETA the world we live in makes me happy we don’t have kids. I hate that this happens all the time.

In the 1980’s, a 50-something year-old Sacramento woman by the name of Dorothea Puente began dressing up like an 80-something year-old woman to gain the trust of a series of elderly and disabled folks to whom she rented rooms in her home. She subsequently drugged, unalived, and buried them in the backyard. Continued collecting their social security and disability checks that were now arriving at her address.

So they may not get as good an offer.
Sounds like the whole thing is a ploy to devalue the land to set some special interest entity up for a sweetheart deal. I think they’re messing with the wrong people. The Jen Racca tie in is interesting. The quotes from her sound really overly-invested and suspect—almost like the family speaking out somehow directly hurts her—so wouldn’t be surprised if some kind of corruption shite comes out of this.

This seems like the most promising effort thus far.
I think it’s also noteworthy that it’s suddenly moving again now that Destroya is gone.

How do you even get that big at that age. It’s one thing if you’re some old frick, but relatively young and with a full-time job and presumably money to shop at Whole Foods or whatever. Wtf.

I know hers is not padded but that was my initial reaction before I looked closely.

Baton Rouge is facing a similar issue and it’s paying dearly
EBR is more black than it was in 1980 but not anything nearly as dramatic. I think it’s like 15% more than what it was 50 years ago, which is not exactly life changing. The white share has fallen but that’s just about everywhere. We’ve gained a lot of Hispanics and Asians which is a good thing to help balance stuff out, IMO, and keep some neighborhoods from becoming completely uninhabitable. People are (for whatever screwed up reason) really wanting to be able to call it Jackson, but it’s just not the reality on the ground.
re: Ransom note confirms Nancy Guthrie is dead and buried with nature

We all knew she was dead. They just need to know where she is.
It would destroy me to know my mom was just out there somewhere and that we may never have any part of her to lay to rest.
I feel for em.

Looks a little artificial. Almost too curvy like a drag queen or something.

re: What's the scariest natural disaster footage you've ever seen?

Definitley the Tsunami stuff.
Some of the post Katrina footage is pretty terrible, too. But the footage of the weather event itself is about what you’d expect.

Mies would have at least brought in some warmth. Some great carpets, accent chairs, or wood or textile accents. It takes talent to make a stark, modern space feel like somewhere you want to be. This modern, mass produced BS misses the mark by a mile. It honestly looks like the inside of a Coursey Blvd nail parlor.

re: Does Cleveland, OH suck as bad as people claim?
Posted by Shorts Guy on 6/21/26 at 11:24 am to SaintlyTiger88
Cleveland is actually a pretty cool place these days. Downtown is super active and well-cared for. Lots of big companies still in the area doing a lot for the city. Very devoted sports fans, even if they aren’t always having a good year (or a good century). They have one of the top 5 art museums in the country, as well as a top 5 symphony orchestra. Largest theatre district outside of New York. Great food for a midwestern city. Cleveland Metroparks maintain some of the best and most expansive urban parks in the nation. I was very surprised at how much was going on there.

He was a monster. I think it’s been well known and documented for decades now.
