Publishers have to use the walking on eggshells language even when it’s obvious what happened because of libel laws. You’re not guilty until convicted in a court of law. Until that point, everything is allegedly, possibly, appears to be.
One of these guys walked up and gave me a handful of birdseed, prompting a flock of pigeons to come perch on my arms. I most certainly did not hand over the money they wanted for the experience I didn’t ask for and was somewhat disgusted by.
Thanks for the detailed response! I’ll look into this one.
Parking that much merchandise in one spot - might I suggest hiring a security guard or two? Maybe at least a fence and gate?
I demand efficiency! I’ve got angry things to scream into the void!
It’s not a protection bribe, it’s tithing.
I mean… I’m not totally against this.
You’ll definitely be converting the masses with that sanctimonious attitude.
We’ve got at least two pride events where I live. There’s “corpo pride” with the parades and booths set up by corporate sponsors. You may get a few local businesses in there, but it’s mostly the flag waving corporations clamoring for cash. That was earlier this month. Next weekend we’ll have “people’s pride” which is funded and organized directly by local people. Tends to be much more fun.
Unrelated to the main point at hand, but just a quick heads up that a factoid is something commonly believed to be true, but actually isn’t.
Or this statue of Juliet in Verona.
God’s just a burst of dopamine.
Didn’t this happen last year, too? Feels like this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this headline.
Flash back to listening to Paul Harvey in the car while my grandmother drove me to school.
Bet the house shakes when that one barks.
I do still want to go Drinking Around the World in Epcot, though. So they might still end up squeezing a little more cash out of me.
The thing that always bothered me about Disney World (never been to Disney Land so I don’t know if it’s the same) is that it always felt like there were more shops and restaurants than actual attractions. After having been there a few times between school trips and family vacations, I found myself getting bored during the last couple of visits.
Although I do have issues with depression, so I’m operating from a lower baseline than average, but still - bored in Disney World. It’s just an outdoor mall with a few interesting rides.
I’m inclined to agree. The housing crisis is present all across the country, and there’s only one Dollywood. Can’t be responsible for them all.
Ah, the great Circle of Life.
Obviously my own experience is entirely anecdotal, but I think relevant to the point. I work 100% remotely, I just need a decent Internet connection. I currently live in a moderately sized city, and keeping up with the finances can be a struggle compared to the lower cost of rural living. However, I’m also a gay man, pro choice, I don’t care what two or more consenting adults do in the privacy of their home, etc. etc. etc. with all the usual liberal stuff.
The job prospects aren’t why I left the rural southeastern US, and they aren’t the reason I’ll never go back there.
These people were warned about the brain drain their bullshit would cause. I have no sympathy for them or their towns’ dwindling tax revenues.
