They would love for this to be Covid 2.0.
But sadly for them, just sensationalism.

re: For all the Millennials crying about housing costs, here you go

I guess the biggest problem we have these days is that everyone needs to be in the same place to have access to jobs.
We shipped virtually all of our small-town blue collar manufacturing work overseas, or automated it. Now all the affordable homes are in places where people can’t get anything other than a minimum wage, dead-end job with no benefits.
Plenty of gorgeous homes available for next to nothing in small town USA. But good luck wasting your life and gas commuting to the nearest decent size city.
ETA it doesn’t help that blue cities have allowed huge swaths of neighborhoods to be taken over by drugs and violent crime, making them uninhabitable for normal working people.

We should be more concerned with the small subset of grown arse men who drop their pants to their ankles to take a leak. Anybody else ever walked into a public restroom and had this same WTF moment?
re: Am I just getting older or does it feel like society is collapsing?
Posted by Shorts Guy on 5/12/26 at 3:51 pm to mule74
The worst segments of our society began unravelling in the 60s. They’re now so many generations removed from any sense of decency or self-respect that the newer generations are basically humanoid animals. Social media has allowed the scourge to spread beyond traditional boundaries.
Meantime, better segments of society have become very spoiled and hapless. A few generations of lax parenting and participation trophies have created brainless brats who don’t know how to work or do anything productive…many can’t even carry on a basic conversation…but still expect to have the world handed to them.
We’re all boned. Sometimes I think the only answer is to move to Japan or South Korea where society still imposes unapologetically high expectations upon itself.

re: Baton Rouge social media is obsessed with rain

News in Louisiana is absolutely insanely obsessed with rain. They talk about it for days and days before it comes and then for days afterward.

So essentially what they’re saying is it’s a lost cause and we should just give up and stop groaning about it? Because it’s too bad and coming too soon to realistically do something about it, if they’re correct.
Good. Sick of hearing about it.

re: Do bumblebee stings hurt worse than a other bees or wasps, etc?
Posted by Shorts Guy on 5/5/26 at 7:42 pm to LSUSportsFan2000
Never been stung by a bumble bee. Regular honey bees are probably the least painful of the bees/wasps that have peppered me. Still pretty damn painful. Paper wasps are worse. They get me at least a few times per year. The worst I’ve experienced are yellow jackets. The only stings that have made me physically jump up and down and cry out in pain. Total slapstick comedy for onlookers.

To be completely honest this is a very small price to pay to go to a festival that isn’t completely overrun by undesirables.

We don’t fit that description but Jazz Fest is a highlight of our calendar, rain or shine. All the people bitching about rain and flip flops like they’re going to melt or something if they get muddy. You don’t have to be 72 to see how soft people are today.

re: What percentage of Louisiana’s population actually knows that the word “dominant” exists?
Posted by Shorts Guy on 5/3/26 at 9:27 am to cbree88
Oddly, I’ve not noticed this one much.
The one that gets me is when folks comment “sorry for your lost” in response to someone’s passing instead of “sorry for your loss.” This will never make sense to me.
The other really offensive one is when they add the good old “apostrophe s” to the name of a place or business. For example, “We went to Kroger’s” instead of “We went to Kroger.” It automatically makes me think you must be some kind of an idiot.
Also…
This is accurate. It gets so much worse than TD.
