This would explain why I seem to attract people I know (but granted, am not related to) everywhere I go.

It might also explain why my mother told me that I had a seemingly infinite number of cousins growing up, too...

God no. I'm driving my two-ton death machine, I don't have the time to literally rubberneck at signs.

Is that really what he said? Looks like regurgitated shit from an AI.

Guess he needed to sleep on it and boom, he's a calmer guy now.

No, no, it's normal. We watch Pluto TV and we've seen a ton of campaign ads, since they pull mobile ads and...well, ads you see on YouTube on your phone and air them on TV.

Aww man...I can't laugh at the name "Citizens for Sanity" anymore. That's a pity. I'll have to keep that name in mind if I ever get called a crackpot in r/Maine. "No, no, you got me all wrong, I'm a citizen of sanity!"

Still, at least I can stop hearing "[We/Maine] can't go back to Paul LePage" ten million times a day.

Yeah...I tried finding a dentist who takes MaineCare. In York County there are only three. And all of them were shit in some way or another. Siiiigh...at least I just pay around $500 for cleaning and an X-ray, which is pretty decent.

You might want to call MaineCare and see what they say. They might have options besides what their list says.

Last I heard, he called her an elitist, said some shit like "you prioritize abortion over shit like heating oil costs?", either the news or he himself said he conceded, then he did a "hold the fuck up" and backpedaled his ass and said he doesn't concede.

If this is a projection, I hope they call her the winner, because if they do, I'm gonna bust my other lung.

EDIT: CNN's called it from my understanding. The audio equipment at wherever he was giving a speech is coming down. Funny thing is, he said he was gonna accept the election outcome...sure, when I fly off the roof and into space with a pair of angelic wings.

Please, I just ate dinner...don't make me sick.

Lots of trapped air?

Depends on the season. Depends on the season for all of your questions.

And what the best town or city is depends on your preferences, my friend.

Yeah, we've gotten fliers for both us and the previous owners of the house. Groan.

Another one? These threats are becoming as common as trees now. Really sad.

But I'm glad you're safe, OP!

Clearly someone didn't do a background check. Or they did but they didn't really care.

Someone get Joe Nobody on this, stat!

What is that red thing on the left? Is it really a flag or did he grab his wife's haircap and use it as a makeshift one?

...Do you not have anti-virus apps installed on your phone? They can help for stuff like this.

Or, just copy the link and punch it into Google and see if it's legit.

Your kid's school handled the situation better than mine.

After all, if a bomb threat is called and it's located inside the school, what's a safer place to go than...to stay inside the school, cramped in a tiny little room, instead of outside and away from the bomb as much as possible?

A safer one as well.

A lot of parents do it because they don't want their kid run over by cars, or just feel uncomfortable with the prospect of knocking on the doors of complete strangers. Some also do trick-or-treat as well. It's been a thing since at least before 2020 but soared in popularity over the course of the pandemic for obvious reasons.

Oh? I thought there was a joke in this post regarding the whole "Pokemon is satanic/the devil/wah-dee-wah" thing that people believed back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Guess not. My bad lol.

I want them banned too, but it feels like a very complicated process.

In the meantime though, you could reuse or recycle them.

Aha...sure. r/thathappened to all of this post. You're feeling so threatened by being wrong that you're resorting to lying? That's kinda sad.

But also yes, that is exactly what I mean. Mainers aren't usually bothered by adults who don't have kids with them going trick-or-treating and getting candy. Hell, I stopped trick-or-treating after 15, and when I did go, I'd see adults and high schoolers go trick-or-treating in costumes all the time in addition to kids. Some of them got candy, even. Not all, but some.

Adults are fine with mini Snickers and Kit-Kats, thank you. We all have an inner child who loves Halloween and loves candy but you seem to be an exception. Do I pity you...

Something had to have changed this year for threats to become way more common now than they used to be. Maybe mental-health-in-the-pandemic residue.

Maybe you're just projecting. But Mainers aren't really like that. Generally, we're a laid-back bunch. If OP thought it was normal and accepted, then they wouldn't be asking this question. Thought logic.

Adults at playgrounds without kids?

Lmao, fuck your feelings, if I want to swing on the swingset at 24 then I can and I will. Lots of teens and adults who don't have kids do it.

So judgmental.

There was a thread I came across on Reddit yesterday that asked about this very thing, and a lot of people didn't mind adults trick-or-treating that didn't have kids.

Quit gatekeeping Halloween. The woman in the OP has never been trick-or-treating before. Show some sympathy and take the stick out of your anus instead of being judgmental just because she's 23 and going trick-or-treating.
