I wonder why nearly everyone just takes the default typeface, when there is an easy choice of alternatives in both font and font size.

Because I like to yell at people, but from a distance.

If you're going to go for it, go for it!

What fun!


     WHEEE!!!



La-la-la!!!!
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.

Life in 2022 liberal indoctrination centers college campuses, as they struggle nobly to maintain enrollment and graduation rates

'Well, I would have, but we needed the eggs.'

And onward to the omelet.  Every part tastes about the same.  Just add some cheese.

Then again, so is Memphis. And you can get killed there.

Isn't that the truth!  I was there overnight less than two months ago, and the driving is so crazily aggressive that I don't see how dozens of people aren't killed on their roads and streets every week.  Evidently traffic laws simply aren't enforced there.  It's not hard to get around in for a city of its size, but the traffic is truly scary.
And you will cry out on that day because of the king you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you on that day.

Why is "General Academic Discussion" so empty?  No posts since the 10th.  Or am I missing something?

Now is a good time to give away money, come to think of it. While it's still worth something.

Ha! You haven't seen how people drive in NYC, have you? It's quite an experience. You get honked at for not running red lights, have large cars, vans, and trucks muscle their way in front of you, and people in the far right lane cut you off when making an illegal left turn without any warning or turn signals. I take my life in both hands when driving in the city.

Yes, but are they going 80 mph?

40-50 miles in a 20-25 speed limit zone. There's a school on this route so us locals know about the speed cameras. I was once T-boned by a car making an illegal left turn. The driver was quite upset because he thought that I should have anticipated his left turn and let him through. I bought that car on a Monday and was T-boned on Friday of the same week.
