And I vote to remove all the Wisconsin Republicans from office effective immediately.

And my “vote” (likely) has the same actual power as theirs.

I’m sure the more bespoke options can be made that way. I just checked the red wing site and it looks like their heritage collection come in at a max of size 14. That said, they generally run big (1-2 sizes) so it might be worth visiting a store and trying something on if you can.

Do you need sneakers, or would boots be an option? If so, that opens the door to Goodyear welted boots whose soles can be replaced when they’re worn out by a cobbler. They’re also generally comfortable (especially after being broken in). You can go from premade boots (e.g., redwing) to custom boots; costs escalate quickly the more bespoke they are, obviously.

There are some Goodyear welted sneakers, but boots are probably easier to find.

I know it’s probably not the most popular suggestion, but the goodyearwelt subreddit is a great place to look for recommendations and reviews and post questions.

I don’t know, a lawn with just a small portion mowed and the rest standing tall? That shit would haunt me in my own afterlife.

It’s old.reddit.com or nothing for me.

I’m your huckleberry.

I honestly wonder if this has ever actually been the case.

Nope. Definitely just you.

60 songs that explain the 90s.

I think that’s infrastructure week.

That or “only following orders.”

Oh, but surely giving Russia that territory will ensure peace for our time! Now go home and get a nice, quiet sleep.

It’s like when some places in the US stopped testing for COVID - no tests = no positive results = no COVID. Flawless logic.

Surely this isn’t a serious question?

Two that I often quote:

Into each life, a little rain must fall. (almost always delivered sarcastically)

And:

Well, people in hell want ice water.

I loved that woman. Wish I would have known her better.

When Brandi Carlile’s voice cracks and she belts out the chorus near the end of The Story, it’s just incredible. There are better singers, technically, but the pure, raw emotion conveyed is powerful (to me anyway).

I remember driving through Iowa and seeing vast fields of corn and learning that the majority of that corn was not even destined for human consumption. That kinda blew my mind.

…always been on the lookout for polar bears.

This is a reality I simply cannot fathom. How often are they actually observed “in town”?

BG1 and 2 are some of the most beloved CRPG games ever made. On reddit, the Baldur’s Gate sub was still very active and I would guess people were continuing to do full play-throughs at least once a year, myself included (and that’s like 20 years after BG1 came out). I don’t know of many other games with that kind of following, so I’m not surprised at the interest in BG3. Plus, it looks like the devs really took their time and delivered a great game at launch, which doesn’t really seem to happen much these days.

I agree. Would I rather have no cancer? Absolutely. But if my body is going to crank up some cancer cells anyway, I’d rather have chronic (but managed) cancer and keep living than just cancer that will kill me.
